To those of you who are learning 3BLD, it's exhilarating and exciting be able to put on a blindfold and turn the cube with the memo in your head and put your hands down to stop the timer to see a completely solved cube (Especially when you turn really fast and get a sub-30). To compare that to the frustration of the learning curve of the lettering scheme, letter pairs, setup moves, and cycle breaks. Afterward just to get DNFs from forgotten memos, incorrect setup moves or just errors in general. I am triumphantly here to say that with carefull targeted practice and sighted solves, YOU CAN DO 3BLD! It's completely worth the frustration, only if you're willing to the work to learn it. P.S. Sorry that was kind of long, but it was also written to myself to keep me going on to keep trying to break new barriers (sub-27). P.P.S. Thanks to j-perm for updating his tutorial.

If I may make a suggestion for this: Don’t use wide moves for some setup moves in the edge stage. For example: T with wide moves would be d2 L’ I find it much better and faster to use slice moves instead so E2 L’ Full list of slice edge setup moves: A: M2 D’ L2 B: buffer piece C: M2 D L2 D: no setup moves E: L E’ L F: E’ L G: L E L’ H: E L’ I: M D’ L2 J: E2 L K: M D L2 L: L’ M: buffer piece N: E L O: D’ M D L2 P: E’ L’ Q: M’ D L2 R: L S: M’ D’ L2 T: E2 L’ U: D’ L2 V: D2 L2 W: D L2 X: L2 Hope this tip of mine helped, and have fun blind solving!

Wow thanks for the new list! I'll heart your comment. I think it's not a big deal because this is only a beginner method, and wide vs slice moves is only a small detail. I agree your way is faster especially for E. Another reason is most people don't know which way E goes, and some people don't know which way M goes.

Pochman: how do you solve a cube Me: I only know 3 algs Pochman: say no more

That segment at the beginning with cards and letters and comparing that concept to the cube was absolutely genius. It was REALLY easy to understand the concept of blindfolded solve. Thank you so much for this tutorial.

If you don't get what's happening the first time don't get discouraged, read up on different sources and take your time to try and understand the concepts! At first I didn't understand anything but after reading and watching multiple peoples videos I can now do corners blind! Hope to learn edges soon! You can do it!

To those who are still confused with parity : If you have an even number of edge swaps AND corner swaps, you do nothing. If you have an odd number of edge swaps AND corner swaps, you do the parity algorithm after having swapped the edges. If you have an odd number of edge swaps AND an even number of corner swaps, it means you failed somehow. If you have an even number of edge swaps AND an odd number of corner swaps , it means you failed somehow. Btw to those who know CFOP, the permutation algorithm is an R perm, finishing with U' to align the blocks, the swapping edges algorithm is a TPerm (you can do JPerms as well to avoid hard setups), and the swapping corners algorithm is the YPerm, ommitting the first F and last F' moves) Thanks JPerm for the update :)

K would be F' R'. So when I'm doing it, I say to myself "F' R' " Then I reverse it using R F. Hopefully this is useful.

Kartavya Gohel forget about lookahead for now. Keep solving and practicing until you can recognize and solve every pair without thinking. Try executing at top speed. After you get this down, slow down and lookahead. Do both, because people usually just slow down and look aimlessly at their cube. Hope it helps 😀

I finaly did it, but instead of using my mind to remember the sequence i tryed something diferent. It was hard to remember all the letters, so i turned it into muscle memory. I identify the position and put my finger on top of that position, then i move it to the next position, then to the next and the next and so on. When im done my hand remember the movements and i dont even think about any sequence of letters, i just go in auto mode

That card way was a really helpful way of teaching the method. Thanks a bunch!
