- 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.Read the mechanism guide →
- Stop pin
- Limits how far a ring can turn, so only part of the ring is reachable.Read the mechanism guide →

Frequently asked questions
Which board should I use for level 6?
This page has 4 distinct boards. The default A board has 9 rings and 8 blocking pins. Compare these features and the thumbnails before following its steps.
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.
What should I check when I am stuck on level 6?
Check whether the ring is open or closed, whether a stop pin limits rotation and whether a latch is still locked by a bar. Repeated rotation does not remove a fixed obstruction. Compare the neighboring connections, then return to the step for the matching ring number.
