What is a good strategy to solve a Rubik's Cube?

There are many different partial solutions, each with their own advantages and disadvantages.  If you want to learn how to solve it yourself, the most useful approach is usually to follow an algorithm!  A quick search online will turn up many different beginner-friendly algorithms.  Some of the most commonly-used algorithms are
    Linear (rule of edges)
    Task 1 (layer-based)
    Hybrid 5x5x5 (layer-based)
    Face turn (planar section-based)
    Twist the Cube (step-based)
    Easy (layer-based)
    Way Too Difficult (layer-based)

Choosing a method will vary based on your level of experience.  Beginners may prefer the task-oriented methods, while more advanced solvers will enjoy the more complicated face turn or twist the cube methods.

Once you have learned one of the methods, you will need to practice consistently in order to master the moves, which will take some time!  With many of the algorithms it is possible to solve the cube "blindfolded" - in other words, you can solve it without looking at the pieces at all (this is usually possible only with the Twist-the-Cube algorithm).  If your goal is to become a speed-solving master, then this is a fantastic way to start!

Employing smart strategy is important to becoming a good solver.  The ideal way to solve the cube is to work from one side to the other using a single algorithm, plane-by-plane.  This is usually the fastest way to complete the cube, so taking the time to do this is crucial.  There are also a few cross-cutting tricks to help improve your solvability, such as "washr" (which means "front-right edge piece same as back-left edge piece") and "zonk" (a special arrangement of the corners that makes it harder to accidentally cube-jam).

If you're interested, you can also solve the cube in your head using a procedure called "blindfold cube solving". To do this you will first want to memorize a cube-solving sequence based on your preferred method or algorithm, then practice blindly applying the sequence based on your memorized sequence of moves.  With practice this will eventually come naturally.

The Rubik's cube also has other challenges beyond solving it blindfolded, such as "Last Side First" (L.S.F) and "Layer Turns."

There are many different strategies for solving a Rubik's Cube, and they can accommodate different skill levels.  For beginners, one option is the "Corner First" method, where you focus on rotating the top two corners at the same time.  This is a great method for learning how to solve a Rubik's Cube, but it isn't the quickest way to solve one, especially once you become more comfortable.  An advanced method is "Twist Mania," where you focus on simultaneously rotating just one cube at a time.  This method is more time-consuming, but can provide a quicker solution.  There are many other strategies and methods for solving a Rubik's Cube, and I recommend searching online for more strategies.  Using different strategies and methods is one way to become more efficient at solving a Rubik's Cube.
