Quick answer
Open the cyan and purple chain along the top, then clear the green upper-right curve. Reduce the orange central column and green right branches to reach the lower marked links.

Step-by-step
Open the cyan and purple chain along the top, then clear the green upper-right curve. 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.
Reduce the orange central column and green right branches to reach the lower marked links. 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.
Untangle the red and purple lower-center pair before the final blue curve. 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 cyan and purple chain along the top, then clear the green upper-right curve.
- Reduce the orange central column and green right branches to reach the lower marked links.
- Untangle the red and purple lower-center pair before the final blue curve.
- After every release, check which pieces are still connected; color alone does not determine the move order.
Common mistakes
- Several green curves face different directions; choose the branch by its height as well as its color.
- Repeating the same rotation without checking the opening and the remaining contact.
Frequently asked questions
How do I start Rotate Rings level 158: Tall ring lattice with marked center pieces?
Open the cyan and purple chain along the top, then clear the green upper-right curve. 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 158?
Reduce the orange central column and green right branches to reach the lower marked links. 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?
Several green curves face different directions; choose the branch by its height as well as its color. For the finish: Untangle the red and purple lower-center pair before the final blue curve. Move one remaining piece at a time and wait for its release before deciding whether another contact still needs attention.
