Yarn Loop level guide
Yarn Loop Level 863 Walkthrough
Unpick the curtain, clouds and floor around a green statue, let its scissors cut through the yellow pedestal, then strip the statue and the last left-hand curtain folds.
Verified Board Notes
- Initial Layout Geometry
- A green statue with a black outline and yellow scissors in its pointed top stands on a yellow pedestal before a pink-and-rose curtain, with gray/white clouds, an orange sun and a red, white and gray floor. Four supply columns with hidden ? bobbins and barred links; five empty storage slots.
- Goal / Target Area
- Clear the light-pink and rose curtain, the gray and white clouds, the orange sun and floor strip, the red floor corners, the yellow pedestal and the green statue with its black outline.
- Opening Moves
- Dark green 20, then the linked rose 20 + white 20 pair, then yellow 10 into the pedestal; pink 50 and gray 20 follow on the curtain and clouds while the green 20 and the rose/white pair wait in storage.
- Danger Zone
- Before the scissors fall, storage fills with green 20, two yellow 10s, pink 46 and rose 2 and flashes red. Later an orange 0 + dark green 7 pair sits in storage while linked rose, red and black pieces keep the track nearly full.
- Unique Mechanics
- Yellow scissors sit in the top of the green statue; once the stitches around them are pulled, they drop and cut a large piece out of the yellow pedestal. Many bobbins are joined by bars and leave as a pair, and a spent partner (0) stays tied to the live one in storage.
Storage: the five slots where returning bobbins park until their color is reachable again. Linked: bobbins joined by a bar leave together and take one track place each.
Quick Tips for Level 863
- Work the statue's pointed top early so the scissors fall and cut most of the yellow pedestal for you.
- Linked bobbins leave together, so count both before sending a pair while the track is nearly full.
- An orange 0 tied to dark green 7 can sit in storage a long time; plan around four free slots, not five.
How to Solve Yarn Loop Level 863 — Full Solution
- The board is a tall green statue with a black outline and a pair of yellow scissors set into its pointed top. It stands on a yellow pedestal in front of a pink curtain with darker rose folds, gray and white clouds, an orange sun and a red, white and gray floor. The supply has four columns, and many bobbins are joined by a bar to a neighbor, so a linked pair leaves the supply together.
- Send dark green 20 first against the green edge of the statue, then send the rose 20 that is linked to white 20; both enter the track as one pair. Follow with yellow 10 for the pedestal front.
- The picture changes slowly in the opening. Park dark green 20 and the spent rose 0 still tied to white 20 in storage rather than circling them, and keep sending pink 50 and gray 20 into the curtain and the clouds.
- Work the right side next: pink 50 and the rose 40s pull the curtain panels, gray and white bobbins strip the cloud bands, and orange takes the sun and the orange floor strip. The track often fills up here, so wait for a bobbin to run out before sending another linked pair.
- Keep yellow 10 and the green bobbins cycling around the statue's top. Once the stitches around the scissors are pulled, the scissors drop onto the yellow pedestal and cut a large piece out of it, which leaves only broken yellow strips for the yellow 10s to finish.
- Watch storage while this happens: green 20, two yellow 10s, pink 46 and a short rose 2 can fill all five slots, and the slots flash red. Send the yellow and pink pieces back out before parking anything else.
- With the pedestal gone, send the parked dark green 20 and the green 10s into the statue's body, and use red 10 on the small red floor corners. The right curtain clears completely and only the right-hand clouds remain on that side.
- An orange 0 linked to a dark green 7 sits in storage for most of the middle, because that dark green cannot find a stitch yet. Leave the pair alone and keep the other four slots free for the rose, black and pink pieces now shuttling through.
- Work the left curtain from the outside in: rose 40 and pink 50 for the curtain folds, black 10 and 20 along the statue's outline, and white 10 and gray 20 on the floor pieces and the last right-hand cloud.
- The last supply is a green 20 linked to gray 20 above a hidden bobbin that turns out to be rose 30. Send the pair into the leftover green and gray pixels, then send rose 30, pink 19 and white 3 at the thin strip of left curtain.
- Finish with the small rose, pink, black and white remainders against the scattered pixels. The final pink 1 pulls the last curtain stitch.
Colors in this level:
Green, Dark green, Pink, Rose, Red, White, Gray, Orange, Yellow, Black
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Filling all five storage slots with yellow, pink and rose remainders before the scissors fall, leaving no room for the next linked pair.
- Sending a linked pair while the track has only one free place, so the partner has nowhere to go.
- Spending yellow 10s on the solid pedestal instead of waiting for the scissors to cut it.
Frequently Asked Questions
What should I send first in Level 863?
Dark green 20 into the statue's edge, then the rose 20 that is linked to white 20, then yellow 10. Pink 50 and gray 20 start on the curtain and clouds after that.
What do the scissors on the statue do?
When the stitches around them are pulled, the scissors drop onto the yellow pedestal and cut a large piece out of it. Only a few yellow strips are left for the yellow 10s.
Why does a bobbin showing 0 stay in storage?
It is linked by a bar to a partner that still has thread, such as the orange 0 tied to dark green 7. The pair only leaves when that partner finds its stitches.
