2-look OLL, then the whole set

Intermediate Built in OLL

Lock in the corner cases of 2-look OLL until they are automatic, then add full OLL one shape group at a time. The first two blocks never change, so your solves keep working while the new group settles in.

2-look PLL, then the whole set

Intermediate Built in PLL

The seven algorithms of 2-look PLL first — corners, then edges — and then the rest in the order they are worth learning: adjacent swaps, diagonal swaps, G perms last. PLL is where a twenty-second solver finds the easiest seconds.

Eight weeks to a solid sub-20

Intermediate Built in F2LOLLPLL

A coach's programme, three sessions a week. Weeks 1-2 finish 2-look OLL and PLL, weeks 3-4 rebuild F2L without rotations, weeks 5-6 add full PLL, weeks 7-8 add the OLL shape groups. Each week's blocks are marked with a note; do the warm-up plus that week's two blocks and stop.

F2L without rotations

Intermediate Built in F2L

The F2L cases whose suggested algorithm never turns the whole cube. Six cases per block, four repetitions each — about eight minutes a block, and there is no penalty for doing one and coming back.

Learn one new case a day

Intermediate Built in OLLPLL

One case you do not own yet, twenty repetitions, then a short review of what you learned earlier in the week. Slow on paper — but it is the whole of OLL and PLL inside three months, and it never takes more than a quarter of an hour.

PLL recognition sprint

Advanced Built in PLL

Not about execution: about naming the case. One repetition each, all 21 perms, shuffled, algorithm hidden, with a target only a clean recognition can hit. Twelve minutes, and it tells you exactly which perms you actually know.

The ten OLL cases you meet most often

Intermediate Built in OLL

Ten cases, one short session. The sheet prints 51 of the 57 cases at 1/54, so probability alone barely ranks them — these ten are the highest-probability cases taken in learning order, which is the seven corner cases of 2-look OLL plus the three shapes worth learning next.

Weakest three, every day

Beginner Built in OLLPLL

Ten minutes, three cases, no decisions to make. The app picks the three worst-scoring cases you have and drills them until they are not the worst three any more. Cases you have never assessed count as the weakest of all, so this also works as a way in.
