Step-by-step
Clear the lower rectangular bars before working into the right-hand blue and purple 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.
Open the upper-right red branch and reduce the central green connections. 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 upper red-green pair and the short blue stem beneath it. 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 rectangular bars before working into the right-hand blue and purple curves.
- Open the upper-right red branch and reduce the central green connections.
- Finish the upper red-green pair and the short blue stem beneath it.
- After every release, check which pieces are still connected; color alone does not determine the move order.
Common mistakes
- An early release in the bottom group does not immediately free the upper red ring.
- Repeating the same rotation without checking the opening and the remaining contact.
Frequently asked questions
How do I start Rotate Rings level 28: Red upper C above a winding blue branch?
Clear the lower rectangular bars before working into the right-hand blue and purple 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 28?
Open the upper-right red branch and reduce the central green connections. 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?
An early release in the bottom group does not immediately free the upper red ring. For the finish: Finish the upper red-green pair and the short blue stem beneath it. Move one remaining piece at a time and wait for its release before deciding whether another contact still needs attention.
