Yarn Loop Level 13 Walkthrough
Level 13 is easiest when you think in bands instead of colors. Open the blue frame, shorten one diagonal, and keep one fast-finishing job in the mix so the tray never gets stuck with five long pulls at once.
Verified Board Notes
- Initial Layout Geometry
- The board is a clean geometric square built like an hourglass badge. A blue outer border wraps the picture, a pink X cuts diagonally across the middle, and the remaining wedges split into warm yellow and cool cyan panels. The whole board sits on a clockwise loop with a five-slot tray below.
- Goal / Target Area
- This board does not collapse as one simple square. The blue shell, diagonal pink bands, and colored side wedges all peel at different speeds, so the safest target is the border first, then whichever triangle has the longest exposed edge. The center only feels loose after at least one long diagonal has shortened.
- Opening Moves
- The first productive pull starts with the exposed blue edge, then yellow and pink join quickly to work the nearest open wedges and diagonals. The opener is less about committing to one color and more about creating one finished short lane so the tray does not fill with nothing but long band work.
- Danger Zone
- The biggest tray crunch arrives around 00:50-00:56, when all five slots are busy while blue border pieces, pink diagonal bands, and both side-color wedges are still alive together. The run stabilizes only after one pink band finishes and finally opens a slot for the next move.
- Unique Mechanics
- Level 13 punishes all-long-spool sequencing. The board is made of long continuous bands, so if you flood the tray with only high-capacity work, nothing exits soon enough to save you. You need at least one short cleanup job woven into the rotation.
Quick Tips for Level 13 (spoiler-free)
- If every active spool still has a long band attached, you are already too early. Level 13 wants one short finisher in play before you add another long diagonal.
- Focus on one color at a time: connect its loop cleanly, then move to the next color.
- If the board feels stuck, look for the color with the cleanest open loop and clear that route first.
How to Solve Yarn Loop Level 13 — Full Solution
- Start by trimming the exposed blue border so the square stops behaving like a sealed outer shell.
- Feed yellow and pink into the nearest open wedges and diagonals rather than scattering taps across every side at once.
- Keep pressure on one side of the X until a full segment finishes, then rotate into the opposite wedge.
- Save any deeper cyan and lower-half cleanup until the upper border and one pink diagonal are already shorter.
- Around `00:50-00:56`, stop adding long pulls if the tray is full, wait for one pink or blue segment to finish, then close out the last wedges and core strips.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Starting a color before checking whether its full loop route is open.
- Clearing the nearest yarn segment while leaving its matching color blocked.
- Rushing the first move before spotting which color has the cleanest path.
