How do I play Gyrelatch?
Tap a ring to turn it one step clockwise, or swipe along it the other way to turn it back. A ring leaves the board when its gap covers all of its clamps and all of its links to other rings. Clear every ring to finish the puzzle. There is no timer.

What happens where two rings cross?
Crossing rings are linked. Turning one ring pulls its partner one step the opposite way, unless the partner's gap sits right at the crossing. Freeing one ring also frees its links, which can loosen the next ring.

How do stars, Undo and Hint work?
Undo and Hint are always free. A hint highlights the next ring to turn and the direction. You get 3 stars for solving within par without hints, 2 stars for solving without hints, and 1 star if you used a hint.

How do sectors, stardust and the Daily puzzle work?
Solve 7 puzzles in a sector to open the next one. Solving puzzles earns stardust, which you can spend in Styles on ring finishes and backdrops. A new Daily puzzle appears every day, and your streak grows each day you solve it.
