Ring Turn

An old stone dial of turning rings, each set with coloured gems. Turn the rings until every spoke, from the centre out, is one colour. Later dials have rings geared together that turn the other way, and fast rings that jump two places. Ten dials, each with a par. Match it for three stars.

Controls: Tap a ring to pick it, then use the turn buttons, or drag a ring round with the mouse or a finger. Keys: Up / Down pick a ring, Left / Right turn it, R resets.

How to play Ring Turn

Ring Turn is a dial puzzle. Line up the gems so each spoke is one colour, in as few turns as you can.

Controls: Tap a ring to pick it, then use the turn buttons, or drag a ring round with the mouse or a finger. Keys: Up / Down pick a ring, Left / Right turn it, R resets.

Tips

  • Pick one ring as the anchor and line the others up to it. Any ring can be the anchor, so choose the one that saves turns.
  • Turning a ring the short way round always takes fewer turns. Count before you turn.
  • Geared rings move together: the partner turns one step the other way. Sort out the pair first, then the free rings.
  • A fast ring jumps two places, so on its own it only reaches every other position. Use its gear partner, or move the other rings to it.
  • Reset is free, but the move count carries on. Plan first, then turn.
