Step-by-step
Release the short curved pieces above the large lantern outline. 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.
Clear the inner upright links and open the wide side arcs. 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 small angled base and remaining short green or red pieces. 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
- Release the short curved pieces above the large lantern outline.
- Clear the inner upright links and open the wide side arcs.
- Finish the small angled base and remaining short green or red pieces.
- After every release, check which pieces are still connected; color alone does not determine the move order.
Common mistakes
- The base and top bars are part of the puzzle, not decoration around the central circle.
- Repeating the same rotation without checking the opening and the remaining contact.
Frequently asked questions
How do I start Rotate Rings level 140: Lantern-shaped arcs over a small angular base?
Release the short curved pieces above the large lantern outline. 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 140?
Clear the inner upright links and open the wide side arcs. 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 base and top bars are part of the puzzle, not decoration around the central circle. For the finish: Finish the small angled base and remaining short green or red pieces. Move one remaining piece at a time and wait for its release before deciding whether another contact still needs attention.
