Step-by-step
Release the outer upper corners before working into the left-side circles. 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.
Clear the bottom and right branches, leaving the upper central ring pair for later. 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 tall orange bar and final purple-green connection. 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 outer upper corners before working into the left-side circles.
- Clear the bottom and right branches, leaving the upper central ring pair for later.
- Finish the tall orange bar and final purple-green connection.
- After every release, check which pieces are still connected; color alone does not determine the move order.
Common mistakes
- The outer square is not decorative; its corners remain part of the linked structure.
- Repeating the same rotation without checking the opening and the remaining contact.
Frequently asked questions
How do I start Rotate Rings level 36: Large square frame around sleeve-linked curves?
Release the outer upper corners before working into the left-side circles. 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 36?
Clear the bottom and right branches, leaving the upper central ring pair for later. 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 outer square is not decorative; its corners remain part of the linked structure. For the finish: Finish the tall orange bar and final purple-green connection. Move one remaining piece at a time and wait for its release before deciding whether another contact still needs attention.
