Step-by-step
Clear the outer lower and upper-left 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 right blue-green column before reducing the central orange rings. 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-right blue and red linked pair. 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 outer lower and upper-left curves.
- Work through the right blue-green column before reducing the central orange rings.
- Finish the upper-right blue and red linked pair.
- After every release, check which pieces are still connected; color alone does not determine the move order.
Common mistakes
- The upper and lower groups can remain connected through one narrow middle ring.
- Repeating the same rotation without checking the opening and the remaining contact.
Frequently asked questions
How do I start Rotate Rings level 318: Tall ring grid with an orange-red upper branch?
Clear the outer lower and upper-left 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 318?
Work through the right blue-green column before reducing the central orange rings. 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 upper and lower groups can remain connected through one narrow middle ring. For the finish: Finish the upper-right blue and red linked pair. Move one remaining piece at a time and wait for its release before deciding whether another contact still needs attention.
