How to play
- Two rings of colored beads overlap and share two crossing beads.
- Rotate the left ring or the right ring one step at a time.
- Turning a ring carries the shared beads into the other ring, so every move mixes both.
- Return every bead to its own colored home arc to solve it.
Strategy & tips
- The two shared crossing points are the only way beads move between rings — everything routes through them.
- Line up a bead at a crossing point, then rotate the other ring to carry it where it belongs.
- Solving one ring can disturb the other, so work the two together rather than finishing one alone.
- Fewer moves scores higher, so undo and re-plan when a sequence turns out longer than expected.
- Think a few rotations ahead — like a round version of a sliding puzzle.
FAQ
How do beads move between the rings?
Only through the two shared crossing beads. Rotating one ring shifts those shared beads into the other ring, which is what lets you sort them.
Is this like a Rubik style puzzle?
It shares DNA with Hungarian Rings — two interlocked loops you rotate to sort. It is pure logic, no luck.
Can I undo a rotation?
Yes. Undo lets you back out of a line that is not working, though a solved-in-fewer-moves run scores best.
Does my best score save?
Yes. Your best is stored in your browser, and you can submit it to the weekly leaderboard.
