Step-by-step
Open the red lower-right corner and the small blue middle link. Find the actual gap on this piece before turning it. Follow its contact with the neighboring link, rather than assuming the colored outlines form one object. Make a small controlled rotation and check whether the connection has released before selecting another part.
Release the lower gear-like group and the green-orange branch beside the central upright. Reassess the structure after each release: a piece that looked trapped at the start may now have only one neighbor. Use the empty area to see the next contact clearly. Follow the branch described here instead of jumping to a similar color elsewhere.
Finish the upper orange curve and the purple bent bar below it. Watch the final connection as well as the open ends. A nearly empty board can still contain a linked pair, so keep aligning the gap with the remaining contact. Stop repeating a turn that changes nothing and inspect which neighboring piece still holds the chain.
Tips
- Open the red lower-right corner and the small blue middle link.
- Release the lower gear-like group and the green-orange branch beside the central upright.
- Finish the upper orange curve and the purple bent bar below it.
- After every release, check which pieces are still connected; color alone does not determine the move order.
Common mistakes
- The toothed-looking end pieces differ from normal open rings, so follow their visible release instead of inventing a gap.
- Repeating the same rotation without checking the opening and the remaining contact.
Frequently asked questions
How do I start Rotate Rings level 101: Purple upright between two gear-like end pieces?
Open the red lower-right corner and the small blue middle link. Match this branch by its position and shape before moving. If your starting arrangement differs, compare the video with your board rather than forcing the same sequence.
What is the key transition in level 101?
Release the lower gear-like group and the green-orange branch beside the central upright. Keep watching the contact points as the structure shrinks. The next release depends on what remains linked, so recheck the gap after a neighboring piece disappears.
What can block the finish in this layout?
The toothed-looking end pieces differ from normal open rings, so follow their visible release instead of inventing a gap. For the finish: Finish the upper orange curve and the purple bent bar below it. Move one remaining piece at a time and wait for its release before deciding whether another contact still needs attention.
