Step-by-step
Clear the top blue branch and the lower outer sleeve bars. 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 lower ring group before working through the blue left loop and orange 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 red upper circle and green connection beside it. 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 top blue branch and the lower outer sleeve bars.
- Release the lower ring group before working through the blue left loop and orange center.
- Finish the red upper circle and green connection beside it.
- After every release, check which pieces are still connected; color alone does not determine the move order.
Common mistakes
- The orange center links the upper chain to the lower bars, so inspect both ends.
- Repeating the same rotation without checking the opening and the remaining contact.
Frequently asked questions
How do I start Rotate Rings level 87: Red upper loop above an orange central ring?
Clear the top blue branch and the lower outer sleeve bars. 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 87?
Release the lower ring group before working through the blue left loop and orange 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 orange center links the upper chain to the lower bars, so inspect both ends. For the finish: Finish the red upper circle and green connection beside it. Move one remaining piece at a time and wait for its release before deciding whether another contact still needs attention.
