Step-by-step
Open the bottom corners and long upright bars around the lower frame. 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 lower blue circle and release the large central frame through its side sleeves. 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 two upper acorn loops and their remaining corner 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 bottom corners and long upright bars around the lower frame.
- Clear the lower blue circle and release the large central frame through its side sleeves.
- Finish the two upper acorn loops and their remaining corner bars.
- After every release, check which pieces are still connected; color alone does not determine the move order.
Common mistakes
- A frame can keep attachments on both sides after its lower circle has gone.
- Repeating the same rotation without checking the opening and the remaining contact.
Frequently asked questions
How do I start Rotate Rings level 40: Stacked rectangular frames with top red and green loops?
Open the bottom corners and long upright bars around the lower frame. 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 40?
Clear the lower blue circle and release the large central frame through its side sleeves. 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 frame can keep attachments on both sides after its lower circle has gone. For the finish: Finish the two upper acorn loops and their remaining corner bars. Move one remaining piece at a time and wait for its release before deciding whether another contact still needs attention.
