Yarn Loop level guide
Yarn Loop Level 842 Walkthrough
Clear the green ground and purple ball, work through its silver patches, then finish the orange-yellow flame with the final linked supply.
Verified Board Notes
- Initial Layout Geometry
- A purple and nearly black ball sits low-left with white and silver patches, green ground below and an orange-yellow flame pointing upper-right. Four columns begin green 20, dark purple 20, lime 20 and black 30; diagonal links lead into hidden supplies and blue counted covers.
- Goal / Target Area
- Remove the ground and ball before clearing the remaining flame. The observed last stitches are orange followed by two yellow stitches.
- Opening Moves
- Take column 3 lime 20, then newly exposed column-3 red 20/column-4 black 30. Re-send black 30/red 0, black 22/red 0 and black 19/red 0. Take column 2 dark purple 20 and linked column-1 green 20/column-2 white 20.
- Danger Zone
- The late lime 0/purple pair takes two places, while dark purple 0/red 1/lime 0 takes three. They can fill the whole tray. Independent green 1 and dark purple 7 are separate bobbins, not members of those groups.
- Unique Mechanics
- Four columns contain counted blue covers, mystery colors, diagonal links and a three-bobbin group. A silver metal 20 appears in column 3 around 06:42. Zero-count members remain linked and continue using group space.
Quick Tips for Level 842
- Remove column 2 dark purple 20 to reveal the white 20 linked to column 1 green 20; the hidden white is not a separate dispatch.
- Keep the early green 0/white 3 pair intact while cycling the black/red pair and independent dark purple.
- Near 09:20, re-send the lime 0/purple 5 pair when two track places open so the red-1 trio has room to return.
- Distinguish the silver metal return from ordinary white; metal falls through 7, 6, 4, 2 and 1 in the later ball-cleanup laps.
How to Solve Yarn Loop Level 842 — Full Solution
- At 00:13 take column 3 lime 20. Send newly exposed column-3 red 20/column-4 black 30. Re-send black 30/red 0, then black 22/red 0 and black 19/red 0.
- At 00:30 take column 2 dark purple 20, revealing white 20. Send linked column-1 green 20/column-2 white 20. Re-send black 19/red 0 and green 0/white 20. Take column 4 purple 20 around 00:54.
- Re-send black 18/red 0, independent dark purple 16 and purple 12. Cycle green 0/white 18, 15 and 3. Re-send purple 6 and dark purple as it falls through 15 and 10. Keep the black/red pair circulating.
- From 01:30 to 02:10 re-send green 0/white 3 on each return. Cycle black/red through black 16, 15, 14, 11 and 10, with red 0 attached. Re-send dark purple at 8, 6, 4 and 3. No new supply is needed in this interval.
- At about 02:12 take column 4 yellow 10 and then red 20 revealed by its last counted cover. Re-send yellow 7 and yellow 1. Keep green 0/white 3, black 9/red 0 and dark purple 3 circulating.
- At 02:40 take column 1 red 10. Re-send black 8/red 0, green 0/white 3 and dark purple 3, 2 and 1. Cycle the black/red pair through black 7, 6, 5, 4 and 3. Park dark purple 1 briefly while the pairs return; white remains at 3.
- Take column 3 yellow 20 around 03:26, then column 2 olive 20. Re-send black 3/red 0 and yellow 12. Keep green 0/white 3 parked while olive reaches 13.
- Take column 1 red 20, opening its last cover over purple 20. Re-send olive 13 and yellow 11. Take column 3 black 30. Re-send green 0/white 3 and the new independent black 27. The original black/red pair exhausts; the new black is independent.
- Re-send yellow 11, olive 13 and green 0/white 2. At about 04:20 take column 2 lime 20. Re-send the white pair, yellow 11 and independent black 26.
- At 04:34 take column 1 purple 20. Re-send green 0/white 2, yellow 11 and purple 4. Take column 1 orange 50. Re-send olive 13, green 0/white 1, black 26, orange 11 and yellow 1 as olive drops to 9.
- At 05:02 send linked column-1 dark purple 20/column-2 red 20. Re-send olive 9 and the dark-purple/red pair with dark purple 6. Re-send olive 9 again while independent black falls to 1 and exhausts.
- Take column 4 green 10, linked column-3 purple 20/column-4 red 10, then column 4 orange 40 and dark purple 20. Re-send olive 9, independent dark purple 11 and red 0/purple 5.
- Re-send dark purple 11 as it falls to 2, and olive 8. Take column 3 green 10 and then red 10. Re-send dark purple 2 and olive 7. Take column 2 yellow 20. Removing column 3 red 10 has separately exposed column 3 orange 40; leave that orange linked to column 4 white 10 for the next phase.
- Re-send independent red 2, green 4 and dark purple 1. At about 06:12 take column 2 black 30. Re-send green 4 and red 1, then the independent black return as it removes the remaining dark outline.
- At 06:32 send column-3 orange 40/column-4 white 10. Re-send it at orange 24/white 7. Re-send independent green 4. Take column 3 silver metal 20; the orange/white pair reaches orange 6/white 0.
- At 06:52 take column 1 white 10 and column 3 purple 20. Re-send orange 6/white 0, metal 7 and purple 6. Re-send orange 5/white 0 and independent green 4. The separate white 10 exhausts during these laps.
- Re-send purple 2, orange 5/white 0 and green 4. Take column 1 olive 10, then linked column-1 lime 40/column-2 purple 20. Re-send orange 5/white 0, metal 6 and independent purple 2. The new pair returns at lime 7/purple 20.
- Re-send lime 7/purple 20 and independent purple 2. Hold independent green 1 separately. Re-send lime 0/purple 20, then take column 2 black 20. Take column 1 red 20 and re-send independent black 12.
- Re-send metal 6 and green 1, then independent black 4. Re-send metal 6, lime 0/purple 20 and black 4. Cycle independent green 1 and black 4. The metal return reaches 4 and the linked purple return reaches 13.
- At 08:26 send the group across columns 1–3: dark purple 20/red 20/lime 20. Re-send lime 0/purple 13 and independent green 1. Re-send the trio at dark purple 0/red 5/lime 6.
- At about 08:40 take column 2 dark purple 20. Re-send metal 4, the trio at 0/2/2, and lime 0/purple 6. Re-send independent dark purple 10 and metal 2. Re-send the trio at dark purple 0/red 1/lime 0 and the pair at lime 0/purple 5.
- Re-send independent dark purple 8 and metal 2. Alternate the red-1 trio and purple-5 pair as space opens, keeping zero members attached. Re-send independent dark purple 7; it is separate from the trio's exhausted dark-purple member.
- Re-send the trio and purple pair again. Take column 1 white 10 around 09:24. Re-send independent dark purple 7 and metal 2, then the pair as purple falls to 4 and 3. Metal reaches 1 and exhausts; ordinary white clears its last patch. Park the trio while the pair and independent dark purple run.
- At 09:42 take column 1 yellow 20. Re-send independent dark purple 6 and the red-1 trio; its red finally exhausts. Re-send lime 0/purple 3, then take column 4 olive 10.
- At 09:52 send linked column-4 black 30/orange 40 revealed below olive. Re-send dark purple 6, lime 0/purple 3 and olive 3. Hold the returning black 9/orange 16 pair while purple and olive reduce their targets.
- At 10:02 re-send black 9/orange 16 and independent dark purple 4. Take the final column-4 yellow 20. All fresh supplies are gone. Purple exhausts and black reaches 0 while staying attached to orange. Orange 4 reaches 0, then yellow 2, 1 and 0 pull the last stitches. The source shows an empty board at 5/5 before the outro.
Colors in this level:
Green, Lime, Dark purple, Purple, Black, Red, White, Silver, Yellow, Olive, Orange
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Treating the late dark purple 7 as the zero dark-purple member of the red-1 trio selects the wrong return and uses different track capacity.
- Counting lime 0/purple 5 as one bobbin can leave no room for the three-bobbin return, because the exhausted lime is still attached.
- Taking a white supply as a replacement for the silver metal 20 ignores the visibly separate silver patches and metal return sequence.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the tray fill with only two colored groups near the end of Level 842?
Lime 0/purple 5 is a two-bobbin pair and dark purple 0/red 1/lime 0 is a three-bobbin group. Their zero members remain attached, so together they use all five places. Re-send the pair when two track places open.
Which supply handles the silver patches on the ball?
The source takes the visibly silver metal 20 from column 3 around 06:42. It returns at 7, 6, 4, 2 and 1 during later laps. Ordinary white is selected separately for white patches.
