About the game
Rotate Rings is a ring puzzle with colored rings, pins, clamps, slide bars and bombs. Match the board, identify the numbered rings and release the connections so the rings fly away automatically.
Choose a matching board
The game has different level schedules, so the board for the same level number may differ. Choose the thumbnail that matches your game. You can switch between alternate boards on each level page.

Learn how pins, clamps, slide bars, closed rings and bombs affect the board.
How to find your Rotate Rings solution
Start with the level number shown in your game. Compare the ring count, openings and connected bars with the thumbnails, then choose the matching board. Read the connection notes before rotating a ring; the diagram numbers identify rings, while the step numbers include actions on bars and latches.

Learn what each object does before choosing a move. An opening, a fixed pin and a movable bar solve different kinds of obstruction.
- Ring
- An open ring can rotate. Align its opening with the connecting pin to release that connection. Rings fly away automatically once their connections and constraints are released.
- Blocking pin
- A fixed pin sitting on a ring's edge. It holds another ring in place, so its gap has to face this pin.
- Stop pin
- Limits how far a ring can turn, so only part of the ring is reachable.
- Latch
- Holds a ring in place. A stick locks it, so release the stick first and then turn the matching ring.
- Stick
- Slide bar. Move it sideways to release the latch it is tied to.
- Bomb Ring
- Carries a timed bomb and can clear other rings. Deal with it before the countdown ends.
- Closed ring
- A closed ring has no opening. Release its blocking connections using the surrounding objects; the ring flies away automatically when it is free.

Frequently asked questions
Why does my level look different?
The game has different level schedules. A number alone does not identify the board: compare the thumbnails and choose the rings, bars and pins that match your screen.
What do the numbers on the diagram mean?
They identify individual rings, not the operation order. A written step can also describe a bar or latch, so the step number is not always the ring number. Match the ring number named in the instruction with the diagram.
Can a ring without an opening rotate out?
A closed ring has no opening. Release its blocking connections using the surrounding objects; the ring flies away automatically when it is free.
What does the Hint tool do?
Hint highlights objects to rotate, sometimes in a sequence. Follow the highlighted objects in your game and compare them with the numbered board. It is different from Hammer, which destroys a selected object, or Firework, which clears a random target.
