The CFOP (Cross - F2L - OLL - PLL) system, sometimes known as the Fridrich Method is one of the most commonly used methods in speedsolving a 3x3x3 Rubik's Cube. This method was first developed in the early 1980s combining innovations by a number of cubers. Czech speedcuber Jessica Fridrich is generally given credit popularizing it by publishing it online in 1997.
The method works on a layer-by-layer system, first solving a cross on the bottom, continuing to solve the first two layers (F2L), orienting the last layer (OLL), and finally permuting the last layer (PLL).

Famous quotes containing the word method:
“You that do search for every purling spring
Which from the ribs of old Parnassus flows,
And every flower, not sweet perhaps, which grows
Near thereabouts into your poesy wring;
You that do dictionary’s method bring
Into your rhymes, running in rattling rows;”
—Sir Philip Sidney (1554–1586)
