Rings Untie: Find the Gap That Opens the Next Lock

Rings Untie: can you see what is holding the ring?

In Rings Untie, turn the open rings until their gaps meet the connections holding them together. Start with the pair in the opening lesson, watch what releases, and carry that approach into more complicated locks. Each new arrangement asks you to choose which piece can move next.

How to play Rings Untie

For your first Rings Untie move, look at the gap in the orange ring and the clip joining it to the blue ring.

1. Press and hold a ring with your mouse or finger.
2. Drag around the ring to bring its opening toward the connecting clip.
3. Release and watch whether the ring comes free; adjust the angle if it remains attached.
4. Repeat with the remaining connections until the arrangement is untied, then continue to the next Rings Untie puzzle.

Rings Untie locks: C, D, and S shapes

Rings Untie changes the problem by changing the lock. Start with the opening you can see, then check how far the piece can actually turn. A move that worked on a round ring may need a different approach on the next shape.

• C lock rings give you a clear gap to rotate toward a connection.
• D rings restrict the available turn, so check the range before committing to a direction.
• S rings bring a more flexible shape; follow the connected path instead of treating every piece as a circle.
• When several locks meet, look for the connection that has room to open first.

Rings Untie tips when a ring stays stuck

Make a small turn and watch the gap. If the ring stays attached, bring its opening closer to the clip and release again. Repeating a full spin makes it harder to tell which position nearly worked.

Check the neighbouring ring before trying to force a blocked move. Follow one connection at a time, and let each successful release finish before choosing the next piece. The useful feedback is a connection opening and a piece coming free.

If Rings Untie shows a countdown, use the available time on a planned sequence. Keep track of the direction you already tried so you do not spend the attempt repeating the same blocked turn.

Rings Untie controls, settings, and the skip button

Use a mouse on a computer or drag directly with a finger on a touch screen. The opening Rings Untie lesson points to the ring you should turn, so follow that prompt before experimenting with other pieces.

The gear opens settings. The skip control carries an AD label: read its prompt before using it, because skipping may require watching an advertisement. Try checking both sides of the blocked connection before spending a skip.

For a larger board, use Fullscreen in the player toolbar. If loading stalls, use Reload; the separate game window below the online play answer is another way to open Rings Untie.

Is Rings Untie worth a try?

Choose Rings Untie if you enjoy spotting a mechanical connection, testing a turn, and adjusting from the result. The first pair gives you a quick way to decide whether that hands-on puzzle loop suits you.

Rings Untie is a good fit when you want to think about shapes and release order. If you mainly want rapid tapping, try the opening lesson first: progress comes from finding the useful angle, and extra movement alone will not open a lock.
