Step-by-step
Open the lower purple and red curves first. 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.
Release the central green and orange uprights before working through the upper acorn branch. 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 blue-green pair and remaining straight 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
- Open the lower purple and red curves first.
- Release the central green and orange uprights before working through the upper acorn branch.
- Finish the short upper blue-green pair and remaining straight bars.
- After every release, check which pieces are still connected; color alone does not determine the move order.
Common mistakes
- The central uprights are separate pieces with different sleeves and cannot move as one bundle.
- Repeating the same rotation without checking the opening and the remaining contact.
Frequently asked questions
How do I start Rotate Rings level 361: Tall central sleeve bars beneath a blue-green upper chain?
Open the lower purple and red curves first. 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 361?
Release the central green and orange uprights before working through the upper acorn branch. 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 central uprights are separate pieces with different sleeves and cannot move as one bundle. For the finish: Finish the short upper blue-green pair and remaining straight bars. Move one remaining piece at a time and wait for its release before deciding whether another contact still needs attention.
