The '''Layer by Layer Method''' is a method of solving the 3x3x3 [[Rubik's Cube]]. Many beginnerbeginners's methods use this approach, but it also forms the basis of the [[CFOP]] speedcubing

technique.

Most Layer by Layer beginnerbeginners's methods solve the first two layers using the same technique. However, there are many variations for the final layer, depending on whether the corner or edge pieces are solved first.

The CFOP speedcubing

technique, developed by [[Jessica Fridrich]] and others in the 1980s, similarly divides the puzzle into layers to be solved. However the method uses far more algorithms and shortcuts than the beginnerbeginners's methods.<ref>
