Pocket Cube Rubik's cube, simply by treating it as a 3x3x3 with solved (invisible) centers and edges. More advanced methods combine multiple steps and require more algorithms. These algorithms designed for solving a 2x2x2 cube are often significantly shorter and faster than the algorithms one would use for solving a 3x3x3 cube. The Ortega method, also called the Varasano method, is an intermediate method. First a face is built (but the pieces may be permuted incorrectly), then the last layer is oriented (OLL) and lastly both layers are permuted (PBL). The Ortega method requires a total of 12 algorithms. The CLL method
Floppy Cube (20), the Rubik's Domino (18) and, to some extent, the Pocket Cube (11). The table also shows that there is only one combination that is exactly 8 moves away from the solved state; this is the combination in which all the corners are in their correct places but all the edges are flipped, analogous to the "superflip" on the Rubik's Cube, which requires 20 moves to solve. The Super Floppy Cube (often shortened to "Super Floppy") is a common variant of the Floppy Cube. It was also invented by Katsuhiko Okamoto but several versions have also been produced by other
