Yarn Loop level guide
Yarn Loop Level 888 Walkthrough
Unpick the brown honey pot with yellow honey dripping from its lid and twin blue bands from a purple striped field, working linked purple/blue pairs and two rounds of icy countdown bobbins.
Verified Board Notes
- Initial Layout Geometry
- A brown honey pot with yellow honey dripping from under its lid and two blue bands sits on a purple striped field. Four supply columns start with purple 40, black 40, purple 40 and purple 30 in front and purple 40, blue 20, dark red 40 and blue 20 behind. Purple and blue are tied by link bars. Icy cyan countdown bobbins appear later and shatter twice to release more bobbins.
- Goal / Target Area
- Strip the purple stripes and both blue bands early with the linked purple/blue pairs. Then peel the brown rings, dark red shading and black outline, and finish the yellow honey drips and the last purple streaks above the lid.
- Opening Moves
- Send purple 30 from column 4 first to open the right-side stripes and uncover blue 20. Next send the linked purple 40 + blue 20 pair: purple empties fast on the stripes, but blue has nothing exposed yet, so the pair returns to storage and goes out again once the bands open. Then send black 40 on the outline and the column 1 purple 40 + blue 20 pair on the left stripes. Send orange 10/brown 30 when the pot rings are reachable.
- Danger Zone
- The track fills up during the yellow and brown stretch, and again when the dark red 40 + black 50 link is out. Black 24 and yellow 1 remainders then sit in storage for a long stretch while the second set of icy bobbins counts down. Wait for a return instead of opening another column.
- Unique Mechanics
- Linked purple/blue pairs travel together even after purple hits 0. Two rounds of icy cyan countdown bobbins block columns until they shatter, first turning into dark red 40 and brown 40, then into yellow 20 and another purple 40.
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 888
- Purple empties almost immediately on the stripes, but its 0 partner stays tied to blue and still holds a track place. On the first lap blue takes nothing, so the pair comes back to storage until the bands are exposed.
- The icy cyan bobbins cannot be sent. Keep sending other bobbins; the counter falls and the ice shatters, releasing dark red 40 and brown 40 in the first round, then yellow 20 and another purple 40 in the second.
- Save yellow for the honey. Send it after a few brown rings around the drips are gone, and park small yellow remainders in storage.
How to Solve Yarn Loop Level 888 — Full Solution
- The pot sits on a purple striped field with two blue bands across its belly. The supply has four columns: front row purple 40, black 40, purple 40, purple 30; second row purple 40, blue 20, dark red 40, blue 20. Several purple bobbins are tied to a blue one by link bars.
- Send purple 30 from column 4 first. It strips purple stripes along the right side of the field and uncovers blue 20 in that column.
- Send the linked purple 40 + blue 20 pair (columns 3 and 4). Purple runs down to 0 on the stripes, but blue cannot reach the bands yet, so the pair returns to storage as purple 0 / blue 20. Send it again once the bands are exposed. The empty purple stays attached to blue and still takes a track place.
- Send black 40 for the black outline around the pot. A small black remainder goes back to storage. Then send the column 1 purple 40 + blue 20 pair to take the left-side stripes.
- Orange 10 linked to brown 30 shows up next. Send it while the outer pot rings are open: brown peels the pot rings and orange takes the orange undersides of the honey drips. Two icy cyan bobbins with a small number also appear. They cannot be sent. Keep sending other bobbins until they shatter. The column 1 ice becomes dark red 40 and the column 3 ice becomes brown 40.
- Send yellow 20 once a few brown rings around the honey are gone. It eats into the dripping honey from the top. The track fills up around this point; when the track is full, let a bobbin return before you send another.
- Send the dark red 40 + black 50 link for the dark shading lines between the brown rings. Both come back with large remainders, and those wait in storage.
- Cycle the blue remainders until both blue bands are gone. Keep the yellow remainders on the honey, and park the yellow 1 remainder in storage.
- A second round of icy cyan bobbins appears, first one in column 1 and later one in column 3. Keep sending black 24, the dark red remainders and the orange/brown links until both count down and shatter, which reveals yellow 20 and another purple 40.
- Send the purple 40s on the last purple stripes above the lid and in the side corners, alternating with the brown bobbins on the lid and upper rim. The track is full or nearly full for most of this stretch, so wait for returns.
- The final supply is yellow 30 linked to orange 20, purple 30 and black 40. Send the yellow/orange pair on the last honey drips and their orange undersides, purple 30 on the purple streaks under the top, and black 40 on the last outline.
- Return the small brown, dark red and purple remainders (1s and 2s) until the last yellow honey row and purple flecks disappear.
Colors in this level:
Purple, Blue, Brown, Yellow, Black, Dark red, Orange
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Calling the dark tones gray. This level has only black and dark red bobbins for the outline and shading.
- Sending the dark red 40 + black 50 link while the track is already nearly full leaves both large remainders blocking storage.
- Stopping when the pot outline is gone. The last yellow honey row and small purple streaks above the lid still need clearing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does purple show 0 but stay on the track in Level 888?
Purple and blue are tied by link bars. The purple half runs out on the stripes first, but it rides with blue until the blue 20 finishes on the bands. On the first lap blue has nothing exposed, so the pair returns to storage as purple 0 / blue 20 and still occupies a place.
What are the cyan bobbins with small numbers?
They are icy countdown bobbins. You cannot send them; the number falls as you send other bobbins, and at zero they shatter. The first round turns into dark red 40 and brown 40, the second into yellow 20 and another purple 40.
When should I send the dark red and black linked pair in Yarn Loop Level 888?
The dark red 40 + black 50 link works the dark shading lines between the brown rings, but both halves come back with large remainders that wait in storage. Send it only when the track has places free, not when it is nearly full.
