Rotate Rings: All 230 Levels Indexed
Every Rotate Rings level now has a page with its board image, difficulty tier and video walkthrough. Seven hand-measured boards also carry a written clamp-and-gap solution.

The Rotate Rings guide is live with a page for every level in the game.
That means 230 level pages, each with the board image, its difficulty tier and a YouTube walkthrough covering that board (the first levels share one multi-level recording). The layout is deliberately simple: one page per level, one canonical URL, and no second page competing for the same search.
What is on every level page
| Section | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Board image | The level's own picture, used to identify the ring layout |
| Difficulty | Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced or Expert, based on the level range |
| Video | A walkthrough covering that board, embedded from YouTube; early levels share one recording |
| Ring breakdown | Added for the boards measured by hand: ring count, clamp owners, turn order |
The difficulty tiers are cut to the actual 230-level range: 1-59 Beginner, 60-124 Intermediate, 125-189 Advanced, and 190-230 Expert. Earlier thresholds would have labelled almost the whole game Beginner.
The first seven measured guides
The written breakdown is not generated from the level number. It is measured from each board image: ring centres, gap angles, and the clamp angles that tell you where the gap has to end up.
The first seven boards with that treatment are:
- Level 1 - two rings, one clamp, one half-turn.
- Level 2 - a three-ring chain solved from the ends inward.
- Level 3 - a straight chain with a different clamp owner at each link.
- Level 4 - more rings, still one turn per active clamp.
- Level 5 - two orange rings, so position is part of the name.
- Level 8 - a closed anchor ring that never moves.
- Level 9 - multiple clamps per ring and a seven-turn solve.
Those pages show the ring count, which ring owns each clamp, which rings are closed, and the direction and size of every turn. They also carry a numbered solution image that marks the order on the board itself.
Why the other levels stay video-only
Clamp ownership has to be checked by hand. A measurement can find the rings and the gaps, but deciding which ring owns a clamp is a judgement about the drawing, and guessing it would produce confident advice about a board nobody verified.
So the remaining levels show the video and the board without inventing a written order. As more layouts are checked, their pages gain the breakdown.
