Ring Unhook

How to Play Ring Unhook

Ring Unhook gives you a tangle of colored rings and asks you to take it apart. Each ring has an opening. Rotating the ring brings that opening around to the point where another piece holds it, and the ring can then come free. Later puzzles add locks, chains, or bars, so one ring may have to stay where it is until you have removed another. The board looks simpler each time a piece comes off, which makes it easier to see how the remaining rings fit together.

Click a ring and drag around its center to rotate it, then release. With touch controls, drag the ring with your finger. Watch both the opening and the hook as you turn. The buttons on the puzzle let you undo a move, restart, or ask for a hint. The hammer and rocket are additional tools you can use when you are stuck. If you are working toward three stars, check the move target before experimenting.

First, look for a ring with a visible opening and only one obvious attachment. Freeing it can expose a connection that was difficult to see in the original tangle. Second, when a ring appears locked in place, trace what it is attached to before trying a longer turn. Another piece may need to move first. Third, if a turn takes the opening past the hook without clearing the piece, inspect the connection again before spending more moves. Undo gives you a way to return to a position you understood. The puzzle also works on a phone, where you can rotate each ring directly with a drag.
