Step-by-step
Free the exposed orange ring above the central blue branch. 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 right green branch and lower small rings before returning to the purple center. 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 and red pair on the left. 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
- Free the exposed orange ring above the central blue branch.
- Clear the right green branch and lower small rings before returning to the purple center.
- Finish the purple and red pair on the left.
- After every release, check which pieces are still connected; color alone does not determine the move order.
Common mistakes
- The two green rings belong to different branches, so identify them by position.
- Repeating the same rotation without checking the opening and the remaining contact.
Frequently asked questions
How do I start Rotate Rings level 4: Branched rings around a purple center?
Free the exposed orange ring above the central blue branch. 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 4?
Clear the right green branch and lower small rings before returning to the purple center. 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 two green rings belong to different branches, so identify them by position. For the finish: Finish the purple and red pair on the left. Move one remaining piece at a time and wait for its release before deciding whether another contact still needs attention.
