Quick answer
Clear the loose green curve at the upper right and the orange curve at the upper left. Reduce the central orange and purple circles before working around the two blue-centered links on the left.

- Separate all linked pieces in this layout: Stacked circles with two gear-like centers. Align each opening with its connection, then clear the remaining branches.

Step-by-step
Clear the loose green curve at the upper right and the orange curve at the upper left. 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.
Reduce the central orange and purple circles before working around the two blue-centered links on the left. 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 large green lower-left ring and the red lower-right branch. 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 loose green curve at the upper right and the orange curve at the upper left.
- Reduce the central orange and purple circles before working around the two blue-centered links on the left.
- Separate the large green lower-left ring and the red lower-right branch.
- After every release, check which pieces are still connected; color alone does not determine the move order.
Common mistakes
- The two blue-centered links are in different rows; clearing one does not free the other.
- Repeating the same rotation without checking the opening and the remaining contact.
Frequently asked questions
How do I start Rotate Rings level 88: Stacked circles with two gear-like centers?
Clear the loose green curve at the upper right and the orange curve at the upper left. 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 88?
Reduce the central orange and purple circles before working around the two blue-centered links on the left. 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 blue-centered links are in different rows; clearing one does not free the other. For the finish: Separate the large green lower-left ring and the red lower-right branch. Move one remaining piece at a time and wait for its release before deciding whether another contact still needs attention.
