Yarn Loop level guide
Yarn Loop Level 22 Walkthrough
Level 22 becomes much safer when you open the flower from the outside petals and rim first, then use the yellow center as the trigger that releases the crowded middle game. Think in route crossings, not just in visible colors.
Verified Board Notes
- Initial Layout Geometry
- The board is a flower in a pot centered inside a rounded rectangular loop. A red top petal, pink left petal, blue right petal, and yellow center sit above a brown pot with dark rim details. The picture has obvious symmetry, but the string routes crossing through the center make the board behave much messier than a simple flower icon.
- Goal / Target Area
- The outer petals and pot rim should open first so the center and lower pot can resolve without crossed routes blocking each other. The yellow center looks small, but it becomes the key release point later because several parked jobs are waiting on that middle section to disappear.
- Opening Moves
- The clean opener starts by trimming the dark top rim of the pot, then spreads into the pink, red, and blue outer petals. That order keeps the center open for later and avoids sending too many intersecting routes through the same middle space right away.
- Danger Zone
- The tray fully jams around 00:35, when red, blue, black, pink, and cyan work are all waiting together. The whole board only unlocks after the yellow center finally clears and one of those parked routes can leave the tray in a chain release.
- Unique Mechanics
- Level 22 is driven by route crossings, not just by color layering. A spool can be perfectly matched to the picture and still get parked if another active string is cutting across its path through the flower.
Quick Tips for Level 22 (spoiler-free)
- When the board is crowded, ask which route will free the most blocked paths, not which color looks closest to done. In Level 22 that answer is often the yellow center.
- 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 22 — Full Solution
- Begin with the dark pot-rim cleanup so the upper routes have room to pass cleanly.
- Open the pink, red, and blue petals next to reduce the outer shell around the flower head.
- Hold the yellow center until the petals are already thinning and the middle crossing is worth the investment.
- Clear the lower brown pot sections after the central routes are less tangled.
- At about `00:35`, if the tray is full, focus on finishing the yellow center first, then let the chain release empty the waiting colors before adding anything new.
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.
