How to be sub 20

[Deleted member 36445]

im still not sub 20 yet, but i like using the blink method for f2l and cross practice (inspect, close your eyes, solve cross and if you are good enough first pair, open your eyes, close your eyes, do second pair, close them, etc)

hmmm but I think solving with your eyes always opened would be faster

BLD solving is better (im biased)

Time to shamelessly plug in my sub-20 guide here

Thread 'Sub-20 is easy with this guide'

Feb 13, 2026

I saw that a lot of members here are not sub-20, and while i have a compilation thread for a bunch of tips, i’ve decided to make a sub-20 thread so that this reaches as many not-sub-20 solvers as possible. Here’s what you should know before following this guide:
Know 2-look OLL and PLL
Solve cross in 8 moves or less
Know intuitive F2L
Know basic fingertricks

note: these are all in order of what you should learn first to what you should learn last.
1. Learn Full PLL
Get your algs from speedcubedb or whatever yt tutorial you can find (i recommend J perm or CubeHead’s tutorials). Make...
