Read from the board image on this page, last measured 2026-10-21. These measurements describe the visible pieces; they do not claim clamp ownership or a solve order. Each ring's clamp is owned by a neighbouring ring, and a held ring comes free as soon as its gap reaches that clamp. Start with the outer rings that hold nobody, then work inward layer by layer.
How to read the Level 172 board
Start with the pieces that hold nothing
A piece that does not hold another piece can move without disturbing a connector someone else still needs. Clear those outer pieces first, then work inward one connection at a time.
15 ring-shaped pieces on this board
Measured from the board image on this page, the play area contains 15 ring-shaped pieces. One is a closed circle with no opening, so it only holds other pieces and never turns itself.
More than one purple piece
The image shows 3 purple ring-shaped pieces (above it, to the upper left and below it). Turn the one at the stated position, not just any piece of that colour.
