Resources

There are many great resources to help with gaining knowledge and becoming better at the cube. Here are some of them:

Websites:

AlgDb is a very good resource for helping with learning algorithms, providing many algsets with multiple different algorithms per case, allowing you to choose which algorithm works best.

Conrad Rider's ZZ page is a ZZ website that many solvers of the method have learned from, with very in-depth explanations and good examples.

Explains information about the ZZ method and its history.

Algorithm Resources

This is a ZBLL Google Sheet based on Jabari Nuruddin's and optimised by Justin Taylor and Tao Yu. Has very good ZBLL algorithms and is a reliable source for them.

This is a collection of possibly the best algorithms for PLL, OH and TH. All of the TH ones are deinitely sub-1 able, and the OH ones are used by world class OHers.

This is a collection of algorithms for 4LLL from CFOP, but all algorithms but the first step are applicable to intermediate ZZ.

This Google Sheet has all the best current COLL algorithms. All of them are sub-1 able and most of them are good for OH too.

This document contains suggested solutions for all last slot cases as well as some last layer influencing tricks.

All of the OLS algorithms in one place in a nice format.

Here is one of the best (if not the best) sources for TTLL algorithms for ZZ-CT. They are only on pages 7 and 8, as the first 6 are for the Ribbon method which is a CFOP variant.

A great resource for anyone who wants to learn TSLE quickly.

The original ZZ-CT resource with all the algorithms.

Only for the most hardcore OHers, these are OH optimised ZBLL algorithms.

This document has all of the CPLS algorithms with edge solved. It provides an alternative to ZZ-A for OH solving that is still extremely good.

This is the closest thing to a complete L5CO doc that there is. Definitely not optimised and highly unorganised, but is a good starting point for anyone who wants to main ZZ-Zipper or WaterZZ

Contains all the algs for Portico L5EP, Zipper L5EP and WaterZZ L6EP. A useful source for anyone who wants to main one of those methods.

The only resource for Cardan Reduction 2, so if you want to use it, this is the doc for you.


Videos:

Phil Yu's playlist on the ZZ method is an excellent way to learn because it is very thorough and following a video is often much easier than reading a wall of text. The videos are quite lengthy because he goes in-depth on all of the content, so feel free to watch only what you need to understand.

Video playlist on ZZ Progression, definitely check it out!

Research paper - themed on ZZ method, sort of like a thesis.
