What is the solution to the Yellow Ring Puzzle?

  • 1 of 7: If you haven't found this puzzle, see below.
  • 2 of 7: The object is to turn the tiles over so that the two shades (light and dark) alternate.
  • 3 of 7: Every other tile must be the same shade.  No tiles of the same shade should touch each other on their sides.  The points can touch.

  • 5 of 7: The round center tile will remain dark.
  • 6 of 7: Keep clicking the tiles, being watchful for hidden ones, until all are turned.
  • 7 of 7: The yellow ring will release for you to grab.
