Scrambled cube -> 2X2 block -> CPon bottom solving DFDR -> RF2L -> EOLF2LE ->LCABLL -> Solved cube The beginners block Method is a 3x3x3 beginner method.

The beginners blocks is a 3x3x3 beginner method invented by Tarun. It is similar to Layer by layer but used block building and some advanced techniques at a more beginner level

Procedure

2X2 block:Solve the 2X2 block (intuitive) Use the 2X2 block step to have the 2x2 block state.

CP on bottom Solve CP on the white side not yellow corners

DFDR:Solve 2 final cross edges of DF and DR because the 2X2X3 block is at the back

RF2L:Solve the rest of F2L minus one pair using keyhole which is entirely intuitive EOLF2LE: Solve the last F2L edge not pair while doing EO

LC+BLL: solve the final corner of F2L and finally solve the last layer with BLL Baur last layer

Tutorial

Solve a 2X2 block in the back of the cube Yiu can make a 1XX2 on the bottom and then solve the E layer edge to make a 2X2

Then solve the CP in the bottom just place the corners where they need to go by using sledgehammers and only in the bottom layer

Then solve the DR and DF edge with intuition my using R U and F moves

Then solve the rest of the 2 pairs by using keyhole and intuition by solving corners first and then edges for the 2 pairs

Then solve the last F2L edge and do EO by using intuition or 3 algs

And then solve the last corner of F2L and use BLL to solve the rest using a easy alg

Advantages and disadvantages over layer by layer

Pros: has fewer moves Makes it easier to switch to methods like ZZ as you learn EO(beginner) It is great for learning the cube

CONS: it has more algs instead of 5 algs like normal beginner method it has 7 algs It is harder to learn (not that much but a little bit) than the beginner method

===Tutorial|

Make the 2X2 block my solving 1X1X2 and then the E layer edge

Then do CP on the bottom only

Then solve the DR and DF edge

Then solve the last F2L edge and do EO

And then solve the last corner of the first two layers

Then solve the final part of the cube by doing BLL
