==History==

The Layer by Layer Method was pioneered by [[David Singmaster]] in his 19801979 book ''Notes on Rubik's "Magic Cube"''.<ref name="linkedresources">{{cite web

It starts by making a cross on one face with the edge pieces, then putting the corners into position between the edges. By then the layer should be solved. Third, the four edge pieces of the middle layer are solved. At this point the first two layers are solved. Fourth, a cross of the opposite color is made on the last layer. Fifth, the last layer edges are permutedpermutated (swapped around). Sixth, the last layer corners are permutedpermutated. Finally, the last layer corners are oriented.<ref>[http://www.learnhowtosolvearubikscube.com/how-to-solve-a-rubiks-cube-solution-overview/ Eight steps: layer by layer method to the Rubik's cube]</ref>

Most Layer by Layer beginners' methods solve the first two layers using the same technique. However, there are many variationsvariant techniques for the final layer, depending on whether the corner or edge pieces are solved first.<ref name="phil"/>
