Quick answer
Clear the upper-right red and lower-left branches. Reduce the central orange-green circles before working down the right blue-purple column.
- Level
- Level 358
- Difficulty
- Normal
- Objective
- Separate all linked pieces in this layout: Tall lattice with two gear-like right edge pieces. Align each opening with its connection, then clear the remaining branches.

Step-by-step
Clear the upper-right red and lower-left 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.
Reduce the central orange-green circles before working down the right blue-purple column. 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 lower purple-green-blue group. 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 upper-right red and lower-left branches.
- Reduce the central orange-green circles before working down the right blue-purple column.
- Finish the small lower purple-green-blue group.
- After every release, check which pieces are still connected; color alone does not determine the move order.
Common mistakes
- The gear-like side pieces differ from normal open curves, so follow the action at their own connection.
- Repeating the same rotation without checking the opening and the remaining contact.
Frequently asked questions
How do I start Rotate Rings level 358: Tall lattice with two gear-like right edge pieces?
Clear the upper-right red and lower-left 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 358?
Reduce the central orange-green circles before working down the right blue-purple column. 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 gear-like side pieces differ from normal open curves, so follow the action at their own connection. For the finish: Finish the small lower purple-green-blue group. Move one remaining piece at a time and wait for its release before deciding whether another contact still needs attention.
