Turn the Rings and Free the Loops
A free ring puzzle in the browser
Rotate Rings is a free browser puzzle about connected open rings. Drag a ring to turn it, line its gap up with the piece holding it, and separate the loops. The opening arrangement is small enough to read before you start turning, and each cleared connection opens up the next move.

How to play Rotate Rings
Start the browser game, find the opening in a ring, and turn that opening toward the piece connecting it to another loop.
- Press Play Now and wait for the puzzle to appear.
- Look at the first level and identify the opening in each ring.
- Find the gap in a ring and the piece connecting it to another loop.
- Drag along the ring with a mouse or finger so the gap turns toward that connection.
- Let the pieces separate, then read the next connection. Watch the remaining connections while you work.
Read the gap before you turn
Each loop has an opening. A connecting piece can pass through that opening only when the gap is lined up with it. Look at the ring and the piece holding it, then drag along the ring so the opening moves toward that connection.
An outside ring is often the clearer place to start. Freeing it can leave fewer connections on the loops still locked together. Wait for a release animation to finish before planning the next turn.
The browser build on this page
Play Now starts the web version. The player stays on this page, so you do not download a file or leave for an app store. The first visit fetches the game files; later visits can be quicker if your browser still has them cached.
Use a mouse or a finger. Click or tap inside the player, then drag along a colored ring to rotate it. If the frame stays blank, use Reload in the toolbar or open the game in its own window from the link in this guide.
No download means there is no separate installer. It does not mean the game works offline. Hints and other in-game assists may show a video prompt; read it before using them. Advertising inside the game is controlled by the game provider.

How do I turn a ring?
Press a colored arc and drag along it with a mouse or finger. Watch where the opening moves and guide it toward the connecting piece.
What happens when I make a mistake?
Watch the hearts and the prompts in the game. If a move is blocked, stop and check the connection before trying another direction.
