- 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 →
- 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 →

- 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 →

Rotate Ring 7 clockwise about 100°. Target opening direction: 105° (right 0°, up 90°). Release and wait. Expected departure: Ring 8. Expected remainder: 2 rings, 0 bars.
Rotate Ring 7 clockwise about 150°. Target opening direction: 315° (right 0°, up 90°). Release and wait. Expected departure: Ring 7, Ring 9. Expected remainder: 0 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 →
- Stop pin
- Limits how far a ring can turn, so only part of the ring is reachable.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 →
Ring positions and connections
Positions refer to the diagram. Connections describe what to inspect, not an additional removal order.
| Ring | Position | Type |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Upper left | Closed |
| 2 | Middle left | Open |
| 3 | Lower center | Open |
| 4 | Center | Open |
| 5 | Center | Open |
| 6 | Lower center | Open |
| 7 | Middle right | Open |
| 8 | Upper right | Closed |
| 9 | Lower right | Open |

Frequently asked questions
Which board should I use for level 90?
This page has 7 distinct boards. The default A board has 16 rings and 8 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 90?
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.
