      Speedsolving Wiki has good info on terminology.

      CFOP is a method (more optimized version of LBL(Layer by Layer))

      PLL is an algorithm set used to Permute the Last Layer (which can be split into 2 steps or looks). I’m not familiar with CFOP so I don’t know if 4 look PLL is a thing.

      I use the Roux method and I highly recommend trying out other methods! It’s harder to learn them once you’re set in your ways :P

        @miria
        Yes. CFOP PLL can be done in 4 steps when you’re a beginner (call 4-look) with few algos. Then you can learn more algos and do it in 3 steps.
        Finally, you can learn all algos and do it in 2 steps also called ‘full PLL’.

          Again, I might be wrong, but:

          Full PLL is 1 look PLL. Using 1 algorithm to solve PLL.
          Full OLL is also 1 look and uses only 1 alg.

          Are you sure you meant 4 look PLL and not 4 look LL (Last Layer)? That would use 2 look PLL and 2 look OLL.
