Quick answer
Clear the outer upper bars and their attached small loops to open the top of the board. Work down the left side through the orange and green bends while leaving the lower-right circular branch accessible.

- Separate all linked pieces in this layout: Tall mixed lattice with a green lower corner. Align each opening with its connection, then clear the remaining branches.

Step-by-step
Clear the outer upper bars and their attached small loops to open the top of the board. 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 down the left side through the orange and green bends while leaving the lower-right circular branch accessible. 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 purple lower links and the small green ring on the right. 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 upper bars and their attached small loops to open the top of the board.
- Work down the left side through the orange and green bends while leaving the lower-right circular branch accessible.
- Finish the purple lower links and the small green ring on the right.
- After every release, check which pieces are still connected; color alone does not determine the move order.
Common mistakes
- A partly cleared top does not mean the square-ended lower frame is free.
- Repeating the same rotation without checking the opening and the remaining contact.
Frequently asked questions
How do I start Rotate Rings level 381: Tall mixed lattice with a green lower corner?
Clear the outer upper bars and their attached small loops to open the top of the board. 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 381?
Work down the left side through the orange and green bends while leaving the lower-right circular branch accessible. 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?
A partly cleared top does not mean the square-ended lower frame is free. For the finish: Finish the purple lower links and the small green ring on the right. Move one remaining piece at a time and wait for its release before deciding whether another contact still needs attention.
