Quick answer
Clear the lower-left and bottom ring branches first. Open the long orange upper circle after freeing its inner and lower links.

- Level 159
- Difficulty
- Super hard
- Objective
- Separate all linked pieces in this layout: Super Hard upper circle over a lower ring lattice. Align each opening with its connection, then clear the remaining branches.

Step-by-step
Clear the lower-left and bottom ring branches first. 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.
Open the long orange upper circle after freeing its inner and lower 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.
Finish the small cyan-purple chain remaining inside the upper area. 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
- Clear the lower-left and bottom ring branches first.
- Open the long orange upper circle after freeing its inner and lower links.
- Finish the small cyan-purple chain remaining inside the upper area.
- After every release, check which pieces are still connected; color alone does not determine the move order.
Common mistakes
- The upper circle can still hold an inner upright even after the lower lattice has disappeared.
- Repeating the same rotation without checking the opening and the remaining contact.
Frequently asked questions
How do I start Rotate Rings level 159: Super Hard upper circle over a lower ring lattice?
Clear the lower-left and bottom ring branches first. 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 159?
Open the long orange upper circle after freeing its inner and lower 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?
The upper circle can still hold an inner upright even after the lower lattice has disappeared. For the finish: Finish the small cyan-purple chain remaining inside the upper area. Move one remaining piece at a time and wait for its release before deciding whether another contact still needs attention.
