The Layer by Layer Method is a method of solving the 3x3x3 Rubik's Cube. This approach was pioneered by David Singmaster in his 1980 book Notes on Rubik's "Magic Cube".[1][2]
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 there is a 2x3x3 block solved. Fourth, a cross of the opposite color is made on the last layer. Fifth, the last layer edges are permuted. Sixth, the last layer corners are permuted. Finally, the last layer corners are oriented.[3]
