Step-by-step
Open the bottom green and blue branches and the right red frame. 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 middle slanted blue link before working through the two upper purple loops. 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 short red-purple upper chain and remaining right orange-cyan pair. 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 bottom green and blue branches and the right red frame.
- Release the middle slanted blue link before working through the two upper purple loops.
- Finish the short red-purple upper chain and remaining right orange-cyan pair.
- After every release, check which pieces are still connected; color alone does not determine the move order.
Common mistakes
- The upper purple loops are distinct pieces and need their own connector alignment.
- Repeating the same rotation without checking the opening and the remaining contact.
Frequently asked questions
How do I start Rotate Rings level 157: Two purple upper loops above slanted bars?
Open the bottom green and blue branches and the right red frame. 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 157?
Release the middle slanted blue link before working through the two upper purple loops. 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 upper purple loops are distinct pieces and need their own connector alignment. For the finish: Finish the short red-purple upper chain and remaining right orange-cyan pair. Move one remaining piece at a time and wait for its release before deciding whether another contact still needs attention.
