Definition of Occam's razor. : a scientific and philosophical rule that
entities should not be multiplied unnecessarily which is interpreted
as requiring that the simplest of competing theories be preferred to
the more complex or that explanations of unknown phenomena be
sought first in terms of known quantities.
Or the Least Complicated solution is usually the Best solution.

Occam's Razor (Law Of Parsimony)
Occam's razor, also known as the law of parsimony (thriftiness), is a
problem-solving principle attributed to philosopher William of Ockam. In
science this principle is used a heuristic (or discovery) tool that guides
scientists for the development of scientific models. In other applications
that use logic the theory of Occam's razor is used as a means of keeping
explanations as simple as possible. Essentially, the simplest explanation
for something is typically the most likely. While not considered an
irrefutable means of deriving logic or scientific results it does stress
the importance of simplifying explanations.
For example, we know that when an object is dropped it will hit the
ground. This can be proved by dropping multiple types of objects from
different heights. When thinking about what causes this what is more
likely: that there is an energy or force that pulls things to the ground
or that invisible gnomes leap and pull the objects to the ground where
they attach them with invisible string? Obviously the first explanation is
more simple and using Occam's razor it would be the most probable
explanation.

What is the law of parsimony?
This principle states that the explanation of any phenomenon should make
as few assumptions as possible, eliminating those that make no difference
in the observable predictions of the explanatory hypothesis or theory. The
principle is often expressed in Latin as the Lex Parsimoniae (law of
parsimony or law of succinctness). This is often paraphrased as: All
things being equal, the simplest solution tends to be the right one. Or
alternatively: We should not assert that for which we do not have some
proof. In other words, when multiple competing theories are equal in other
respects, the principle recommends selecting the theory that introduces
the fewest assumptions and postulates the fewest entities.
