The Seaweed Method is an advanced Rubik's cube method invented by oui in 2019. It is quite hard for beginners and takes some practice to be efficient, it was mainly created for fun. It is inspired by several methods (such as CFOP, Columns First Methods, Reduction 3x3).


The Steps

1. 4 F2L Pairs

You could also do this by solving the 4 first layer corners and then the 4 middle layer edges using the LBL alg and its mirror.

2. Centers

This step is very easy to do intuitively, although you could use one of the four algorithms.

3. OCLL

Orient the four LL corners using 2-Look OLL. Don't mind the edges that may be flipped, white of both.

4. CPLL

Permute the four corners using 2-Look PLL.

5a. Last eight edges
