Charm Loops: Unlink Rings

Charm Loops is a ring puzzle about jewelry. Every board is a tangle of metal rings linked together, and your job is to untie the rings one at a time until the whole tangle is free.

Rotate a ring with one finger: drag it around its centre until the split in the band lines up with the clip. The ring slips free, flies onto your charm chain and the tangle gets a little looser. If you like to spin rings, untie rings and plan a few moves ahead, this is a gentle brain puzzle with a sparkle.

There is no timer and no fail state, so you can take your time. Study the knot, find the ring that can move, and turn it. A good ring puzzle should feel like fiddling with a real piece of jewelry, and Charm Loops is built around that feeling.

The rings are soft gold, silver and rose gold, and each one is set with a ruby, sapphire, amethyst, emerald or diamond. Every ring you unlink adds another charm to your chain, so a finished board looks like a little charm bracelet.
