- Ring
- An open ring can rotate. Align its opening with the connecting pin to release that connection. Rings fly away automatically once their connections and constraints are released.
- Blocking pin
- A fixed pin sitting on a ring's edge. It holds another ring in place, so its gap has to face this pin.Read the mechanism guide →
- Stop pin
- Limits how far a ring can turn, so only part of the ring is reachable.Read the mechanism guide →
- Latch
- Holds a ring in place. A stick locks it, so release the stick first and then turn the matching ring.Read the mechanism guide →

- Slide bar. Move it sideways to release the latch it is tied to.Read the mechanism guide →

Step-by-step walkthrough
The complete route is still being worked out. Only the opening moves below passed the current checks; they do not establish a full solution.
Rotate Ring 4 counterclockwise about 66°. Target opening direction: 210° (right 0°, up 90°). Release and wait. No departure is expected yet. Expected remainder: 19 rings, 0 bars.
Rotate Ring 15 clockwise about 54°. Target opening direction: 157° (right 0°, up 90°). Release and wait. No departure is expected yet. Expected remainder: 19 rings, 0 bars.
Rotate Ring 8 clockwise about 123°. Target opening direction: 327° (right 0°, up 90°). Release and wait. No departure is expected yet. Expected remainder: 19 rings, 0 bars.
Rotate Ring 13 clockwise about 55°. Target opening direction: 345° (right 0°, up 90°). Release and wait. Expected departure: Ring 13. Expected remainder: 18 rings, 0 bars.
Rotate Ring 8 clockwise about 85°. Target opening direction: 242° (right 0°, up 90°). Release and wait. Expected departure: Ring 8. Expected remainder: 17 rings, 0 bars.
Rotate Ring 7 counterclockwise about 60°. Target opening direction: 196° (right 0°, up 90°). Release and wait. Expected departure: Ring 7. Expected remainder: 16 rings, 0 bars.
Rotate Ring 12 clockwise about 115°. Target opening direction: 153° (right 0°, up 90°). Release and wait. No departure is expected yet. Expected remainder: 16 rings, 0 bars.
Rotate Ring 6 clockwise about 71°. Target opening direction: 162° (right 0°, up 90°). Release and wait. Expected departure: Ring 6. Expected remainder: 15 rings, 0 bars.
Rotate Ring 12 clockwise about 93°. Target opening direction: 60° (right 0°, up 90°). Release and wait. Expected departure: Ring 12. Expected remainder: 14 rings, 0 bars.
Rotate Ring 14 counterclockwise about 66°. Target opening direction: 18° (right 0°, up 90°). Release and wait. Expected departure: Ring 14. Expected remainder: 13 rings, 0 bars.
Read this board before making a move
- Ring
- An open ring can rotate. Align its opening with the connecting pin to release that connection. Rings fly away automatically once their connections and constraints are released.
- Blocking pin
- A fixed pin sitting on a ring's edge. It holds another ring in place, so its gap has to face this pin.Read the mechanism guide →
- Closed ring
- A closed ring has no opening. Release its blocking connections using the surrounding objects; the ring flies away automatically when it is free.Read the mechanism guide →

Frequently asked questions
Which board should I use for level 15?
This page has 7 distinct boards. The default A board has 9 rings and 9 blocking pins. Compare these features and the thumbnails before following its steps.
What do the numbers on the diagram mean?
They identify individual rings, not the operation order. A written step can also describe a bar or latch, so the step number is not always the ring number. Match the ring number named in the instruction with the diagram.
What should I check when I am stuck on level 15?
Check whether the ring is open or closed, whether a stop pin limits rotation and whether a latch is still locked by a bar. Repeated rotation does not remove a fixed obstruction. Compare the neighboring connections, then return to the step for the matching ring number.
