Quick answer
Clear the outer upper bends and reduce the left side of the lattice. Open the lower branches before returning to the sleeve-shaped center and the right vertical links.

- Level 394
- Difficulty
- Normal
- Objective
- Separate all linked pieces in this layout: Dense bent-bar lattice with a central sleeve. Align each opening with its connection, then clear the remaining branches.

Step-by-step
Clear the outer upper bends and reduce the left side of the lattice. 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.
Open the lower branches before returning to the sleeve-shaped center and the right vertical links. 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.
Separate the green upper cluster and finish the orange and purple lower chain. 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 bends and reduce the left side of the lattice.
- Open the lower branches before returning to the sleeve-shaped center and the right vertical links.
- Separate the green upper cluster and finish the orange and purple lower chain.
- After every release, check which pieces are still connected; color alone does not determine the move order.
Common mistakes
- Straight edges overlap closely here; trace which corner belongs to each piece before turning it.
- Repeating the same rotation without checking the opening and the remaining contact.
Frequently asked questions
How do I start Rotate Rings level 394: Dense bent-bar lattice with a central sleeve?
Clear the outer upper bends and reduce the left side of the lattice. 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 394?
Open the lower branches before returning to the sleeve-shaped center and the right vertical links. 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?
Straight edges overlap closely here; trace which corner belongs to each piece before turning it. For the finish: Separate the green upper cluster and finish the orange and purple lower chain. Move one remaining piece at a time and wait for its release before deciding whether another contact still needs attention.
