Step-by-step
Clear the bottom-right red and purple branch to open the lower row. 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 upward through the left and central rings as the surrounding orange circles lose their 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 remaining upper orange and green rings. 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 bottom-right red and purple branch to open the lower row.
- Work upward through the left and central rings as the surrounding orange circles lose their links.
- Finish the remaining upper orange and green rings.
- After every release, check which pieces are still connected; color alone does not determine the move order.
Common mistakes
- Similar orange circles occupy several rows, so distinguish upper and lower targets.
- Repeating the same rotation without checking the opening and the remaining contact.
Frequently asked questions
How do I start Rotate Rings level 23: Four-row grid of loops and acorns?
Clear the bottom-right red and purple branch to open the lower row. 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 23?
Work upward through the left and central rings as the surrounding orange circles lose their 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?
Similar orange circles occupy several rows, so distinguish upper and lower targets. For the finish: Finish the remaining upper orange and green rings. Move one remaining piece at a time and wait for its release before deciding whether another contact still needs attention.
