- Separate all linked pieces in this layout: Tall ring grid with an orange middle hub. Align each opening with its connection, then clear the remaining branches.

Step-by-step
Clear the exposed lower rows and upper-right curves. 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.
Work through the central orange ring and its left red-green neighbors. 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 purple-orange-blue chain. 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 exposed lower rows and upper-right curves.
- Work through the central orange ring and its left red-green neighbors.
- Finish the small upper purple-orange-blue chain.
- After every release, check which pieces are still connected; color alone does not determine the move order.
Common mistakes
- The orange middle hub still carries another branch after its right-side ring leaves.
- Repeating the same rotation without checking the opening and the remaining contact.
Frequently asked questions
How do I start Rotate Rings level 163: Tall ring grid with an orange middle hub?
Clear the exposed lower rows and upper-right curves. 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 163?
Work through the central orange ring and its left red-green neighbors. 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 orange middle hub still carries another branch after its right-side ring leaves. For the finish: Finish the small upper purple-orange-blue chain. Move one remaining piece at a time and wait for its release before deciding whether another contact still needs attention.
