Rotate Rings Level 15 Walkthrough

Level 15 · Beginner · 10 actions. This is a text-only solve. One small orange bar is pulled along its sleeve; the other nine steps are ring turns.

The rings form a ring of their own around a central blue ring. The only bar is a small orange piece on the right side. Clear it first, then follow the outer circle anticlockwise until the centre and the two lower-left rings are left.

How the pieces work

• A turning ring has a gap. A clamp presses on its rim, and the ring comes free when the gap reaches that clamp.
• The small orange piece on the right is a pull-out bar. Pull it along its silver sleeve instead of rotating it.
• The outer rings sit in a circle, so the solve runs around the edge rather than straight down the board.
• The last two rings on the lower left share a clamp. When the first one leaves, the second drops with it.
• The ten steps are clicks. The final click removes two rings.

Solution order

Step 1 — Pull the small orange bar on the right

• Action: pull the small orange bar on the right out along its silver sleeve.
• Why: it crosses a group of clamps and has to be removed before the right-hand rings can turn.
• After this: the bar leaves and the right-hand clamps are exposed.

Step 2 — Turn the orange ring below

• Action: turn the orange ring at the bottom until its gap reaches its clamp.
• Why: it is the first outer ring in the anticlockwise run.
• After this: the orange ring drops.

Step 3 — Turn the lower-right red ring

• Action: turn the red ring at the lower right until its gap meets its clamp.
• Why: the bottom orange ring is gone, so this ring is exposed.
• After this: the red ring drops.

Step 4 — Turn the right-hand purple ring

• Action: turn the purple ring on the right until its gap reaches its clamp.
• Why: the small orange bar that crossed this side has already been pulled.
• After this: the purple ring drops.

Step 5 — Turn the upper-right light green ring

• Action: turn the light green ring at the upper right until its gap meets its clamp.
• Why: it is the next ring around the outer circle.
• After this: the light green ring drops.

Step 6 — Turn the upper purple ring

• Action: turn the purple ring above the centre until its gap reaches its clamp.
• Why: it is the last outer ring on the top edge.
• After this: the purple ring drops.

Step 7 — Turn the upper-left dark green ring

• Action: turn the dark green ring at the upper left until its gap meets its clamp.
• Why: the top edge is clear and this is the next piece around the circle.
• After this: the dark green ring drops.

Step 8 — Turn the central blue ring

• Action: turn the central blue ring until its gap reaches the last central clamp.
• Why: every outer ring that was pressing on the centre has now been cleared.
• After this: the blue ring drops.

Step 9 — Turn the lower-middle light blue ring

• Action: turn the light blue ring below the centre until its gap reaches its clamp.
• Why: it is the next ring down after the centre.
• After this: the light blue ring comes free.

Step 10 — Turn the middle-left light green ring

• Action: turn the light green ring at the middle left until its gap meets the final clamp.
• Why: it is the last turning ring on the board.
• After this: the light green ring and the lower-left red ring drop together, clearing the level.

Pro tips

• Start with the bar, not the ring beside it. The right-hand purple ring cannot turn cleanly until the small orange bar is out of the way.
• Follow the circle. After step 2 the order runs around the edge: lower right, right, upper right, above, upper left.
• The centre waits. The central blue ring is step 8, after the entire outer circle is clear.
• The last two rings are one move. The lower-left red ring has no separate step; it falls with the middle-left light green ring.

Level 15 in short

Pull the small orange bar, then work anticlockwise around the outer circle from the bottom orange ring to the upper-left dark green ring. Clear the centre, then the lower-middle light blue ring, and finish with the middle-left light green ring.
