'''PLL''' is the Permutation of the [[Last Layer]], the last step of many speedsolving methods. In this step, the pieces on the top layer have already been oriented ([[OLL]]) so that the top face has all the same color, and they can now be moved into their solved positions. There are 21 PLLs (13 if you count mirrors and inverses as being the same) and each one is named after a letter. The following page gives a list of all of the PLLs, along with a picture and a list of common [[algorithm]]s for each one. The diagrams below are top views of where you want the pieces to go. For example, the [[PLL#T_Permutation|T Permutation]] (or 'T perm') swaps the UL and UR edges, as well as the UFR and UBR corners. Make sure to try out all of the available algorithms for a case to see which one feels the fastest to you - the same algorithm may not be the fastest for everyone, and shorter algorithms are not always faster than longer ones. PLL is a subgroup of [[ZBLL]].

'''PLL''' is the Permutation of the [[Last Layer]], the last step of many speedsolving methods. In this step, the pieces on the top layer have already been oriented ([[OLL]]) so that the top face has all the same color, and they can now be moved into their solved positions. There are 21 PLLs (13 if you count mirrors and inverses as being the same) and each one is named after a letter. The following page gives a list of all of the PLLs, along with a picture and a list of common [[algorithm]]s for each one. The diagrams below are top views of where you want the pieces to go. For example, the [[PLL#T_Permutation|T Permutation]] (or 'T perm') swaps the UL and UR edges, as well as the UFR and UBR corners. Make sure to try out all of the available algorithms for a case to see which one feels the fastest to you - the same algorithm may not be the fastest for everyone, and shorter algorithms are not always faster than longer ones. PLL is a subgroup of [[ZBLL]].

==Permutations of Edges Only==
This subgroup, [[EPLL]] is used as a [[sub step]] for many speedsolving methods, for example in the [[VH method]] ([[COLL]]).

{{H-PLL}}
{{U-PLL(a)}}
{{U-PLL(b)}}
{{Z-PLL}}

==Permutations of Corners Only==
This is also known as [[CPLL]] (Corner Permute Last Layer). There is one more case in this group, the X-PLL but that is the same alg as [[H-PLL]] + U2, see [[EPLL]].

{{A-PLL(b)}}

'''First Two Layers''', or '''F2L''' are normally the first two bottom layers of the [[3x3x3 cube]], or essentially all layers up until the last layer on larger cubes.

The definition is a little different depending on the subject or who you are talking to. Normally it is as above but it may also refer to the part of the [[Fridrich method]] that solves the [[pair]]s without counting the [[cross]] part.

[[2-gen]] F2L, most pairs (30:42) have the edge sitting in the U-layer having two orientations, it shows R or F colour at the side. If it is the R colour you can solve the pair using only RU and if it is the F colour you can turn the cube (y') and sovle the pair to the back slot using only RU. The only pairs that needs both R and F turns are the six ones with the edge unoriented in the slot, if the edge is oriented in the slot both ways works.

 
== Approaches ==

=== Petrus F2L ===

Another way to solve the 'F2L' is by building blocks, common during the first two layers of the [[Petrus]] method.

=== Fridrich F2L ===
There are many ways to solve the 'F2L' on a cube. A common system is using the [[Fridrich]] method first two layer approach. After solving the cross, a corner-edge pair is paired up, and then inserted into the correct slot. A total of four corner edge (or 'CE') pairs are made and inserted to solve the first two layers.

The concept of pairing up four corner/edge pairs was first proposed by [[Ren Schoof]] in 1981.

Most people agree that the Fridrich F2L should be done intuitively, but when you are starting out it can be instructive to see some optimal solutions for each F2L pair. Below is a collection of such optimal solutions.
