- Separate all linked pieces in this layout: Polygonal ring web around an orange center. Align each opening with its connection, then clear the remaining branches.

Step-by-step
Release the exposed lower-right angular branches. 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 central orange circle after reducing the left blue-purple 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 short upper green-blue chain and remaining side bars. 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
- Release the exposed lower-right angular branches.
- Open the central orange circle after reducing the left blue-purple links.
- Finish the short upper green-blue chain and remaining side bars.
- After every release, check which pieces are still connected; color alone does not determine the move order.
Common mistakes
- The polygon border consists of several pieces with different attachment points.
- Repeating the same rotation without checking the opening and the remaining contact.
Frequently asked questions
How do I start Rotate Rings level 296: Polygonal ring web around an orange center?
Release the exposed lower-right angular branches. 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 296?
Open the central orange circle after reducing the left blue-purple 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 polygon border consists of several pieces with different attachment points. For the finish: Finish the short upper green-blue chain and remaining side bars. Move one remaining piece at a time and wait for its release before deciding whether another contact still needs attention.
