How I Mastered the CLL Method in Just 2 Hours

TLDRLearn how I quickly learned the CLL (Corners of Last Layer) method and its potential for sub-2 second solves.

Key insights

🔑The CLL method stands for Corners of Last Layer and is used in solving the 2x2 Cube.

🎯CLL has the potential for sub-3 second solves and even sub-2 second solves with one-look techniques.

💡CLL consists of a set of algorithms divided into seven groups based on different shapes.

🔢There are 40 CLL algorithms for the 2x2 Cube, but this number reduces to 30 when mirror algorithms are excluded.

🔑Breaking down the algorithms into smaller parts can help with faster learning and muscle memory.

Q&A

What is the difference between the CLL method and Friedrich or Ortega?

CLL has the potential for faster solves, with most cases able to be executed in under 1 second.

How long did it take you to learn the CLL method?

I learned all the CLL algorithms in just 2 hours.

Are CLL algorithms difficult to learn?

CLL algorithms can be learned by breaking them down into smaller parts and practicing with a dedicated tool.

Is CLL necessary to become a top 2x2 cuber?

Learning CLL is highly recommended for faster solves and becoming a sub-3 second cuber.

Can the CLL method be applied to larger cubes?

The CLL method is specifically designed for 2x2 Cubes, but similar methods exist for larger cubes like CLLs for 3x3 Cubes.
