Step-by-step
Open the lower-right purple and blue corner bars. 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 green frame and the slanted center connector before returning to the upper acorn 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 small upper orange-green chain beside the horizontal red-blue link. 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 lower-right purple and blue corner bars.
- Release the lower green frame and the slanted center connector before returning to the upper acorn loops.
- Finish the small upper orange-green chain beside the horizontal red-blue link.
- After every release, check which pieces are still connected; color alone does not determine the move order.
Common mistakes
- The long lower frame stays attached at its inside curve after an outer corner clears.
- Repeating the same rotation without checking the opening and the remaining contact.
Frequently asked questions
How do I start Rotate Rings level 162: Upper red-blue link over long lower frames?
Open the lower-right purple and blue corner bars. 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 162?
Release the lower green frame and the slanted center connector before returning to the upper acorn 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 long lower frame stays attached at its inside curve after an outer corner clears. For the finish: Finish the small upper orange-green chain beside the horizontal red-blue link. Move one remaining piece at a time and wait for its release before deciding whether another contact still needs attention.
