Yarn Loop level guide
Yarn Loop Level 889 Walkthrough
Clear the explorer portrait (dark red hat, orange face, white shirt, tan trousers, torch and dark cape outline) along with the two green pencil bars, working through linked bobbins and blue-gray countdown boxes.
Verified Board Notes
- Initial Layout Geometry
- An orange-faced explorer wears a dark red hat, a white shirt with a brown strap and yellow buckle, tan trousers and red boots. A torch sits on the left and a dark cape outline on the right. Green pencil bars run along the left edge and the top. Four supply columns start with green 20, orange 40, dark brown 20 and gray 10; green 20 (linked to orange 40), two blue-gray countdown boxes (5) and white 20 (linked to dark brown 20) sit behind them, with red 20, two hidden '?' cups and black 20 in the third row.
- Goal / Target Area
- Shorten both green pencil bars and clear the dark cape outline, white shirt and dark red hat. Then eat the orange face inward and finish the trousers, boots and last hat, face and pencil cells with the final linked chain and stored remainders.
- Opening Moves
- Send green first, then the linked orange 40 + green 20 pair to shorten the pencil bars. Orange returns as 37 and parks in storage. Send gray 10 and the dark brown 20 + white 20 link on the strap and shirt. Yellow 10 for the torch and buckle then comes to the front of column 3.
- Danger Zone
- The track fills up right after gray 10 and the dark brown/white link go out, with orange 37 and green 0 already in storage. Later, light tan 13 and gray 7 remainders also wait in storage. Bring stored bobbins back before you send a new column.
- Unique Mechanics
- Blue-gray countdown boxes in the supply drop by one each time the bobbin in front of them in the same column is sent, and open at zero (the column 3 box releases red 20). Hidden '?' cups reveal bobbins such as dark red 50. Linked pairs (orange/green, dark brown/white, brown/dark brown) and a final four-bobbin chain (orange 30, green 10, light tan 10, white 10) travel together.
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 889
- Park the orange 37/green 0 pair early. The face only opens to orange after the shirt, strap and hat edges thin out.
- The blue-gray boxes in the supply count down only when the bobbin in front of them in the same column is sent, and they open at zero. Yellow 10 for the torch and buckle shows up in the front of column 3 after the dark brown/white link leaves.
- Dark red 50 from a hidden cup is the hat bobbin. Let it loop several times rather than sending more columns on top of it.
How to Solve Yarn Loop Level 889 — Full Solution
- The board shows an explorer: dark red hat, orange face, white shirt, brown strap with a yellow buckle, tan trousers, red boots, a torch on the left and a dark cape outline on the right. Two green pencil shapes run along the left edge and the top. The supply has four columns: green 20, orange 40, dark brown 20 and gray 10 in front; green 20 (linked to orange 40), two blue-gray countdown boxes showing 5, and white 20 (linked to dark brown 20) behind; red 20, two hidden '?' cups and black 20 in the third row.
- Send green first, then the linked orange 40 + green 20 pair. Green shortens both pencil bars. Orange starts on the face edge but most of the face is still covered, so the pair comes back as orange 37/green 0 and parks in storage. Leave it there for now.
- Send gray 10 from column 4, then the dark brown 20 + white 20 link. White works the shirt and sleeves, and dark brown takes the strap and hat shading. The track is full here. Wait for gray or white to come back.
- Yellow 10 moves to the front of column 3 once the dark brown/white link has gone. Send it on the torch flame and the belt buckle. Each box drops by one when the bobbin in front of it in its column is sent.
- Send the light tan 20 on the trousers and the red 20 on the small red details. A light tan 13 and a gray 7 remainder collect in storage. Send them back whenever more of their color is exposed.
- Orange 30 and orange 40 surface, with green 10 linked to red 10. Now take the stored orange 37 out of storage, and send orange to eat the face from the edges inward. Green 10 keeps shortening the pencils.
- A hidden cup opens to dark red 50. Send it on the hat. It loops several times while black 20 clears the eye and mouth outlines.
- Brown 20 linked to dark brown 10, an unlinked white 20 and a white 10 follow. Send them on the boots, trousers and remaining shirt rows. The figure now splits into a floating head and a separate lower body.
- Keep the orange remainders on the head and the white remainders on the shirt. Leave dark red 5 and black 1 in storage until the last hat and eye cells are all that is left.
- The last supply is a four-bobbin chain: orange 30, green 10, light tan 10 and white 10. Send the chain together. It works the last face fragment, trouser cells and the stub of the left pencil, then returns to storage with small remainders such as orange 6 and green 2.
- Send the stored dark red 5 and black 1, and send the chain's remainders again, until the last hat, face and pencil cells disappear.
Colors in this level:
Green, Orange, Dark brown, Gray, White, Red, Yellow, Tan, Dark red, Black, Brown
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Treating the green bars as an outline. They are two pencil shapes that only green bobbins shorten.
- Sending the orange pair back in before the face edges are open. It returns almost unused and fills the track.
- Ignoring storage remainders (dark red 5, black 1). Together with the chain's remainders they are needed for the final hat, face and pencil cells.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the green bars on Level 889?
They are two green pencil shapes, one down the left edge and one across the top. Green bobbins shorten them over the whole level, and the last green 10 in the final chain removes the left stub.
How do the gray boxes in the supply work?
Each box shows a number that drops by one when the bobbin directly in front of it in the same column is sent. At zero the box opens and releases a bobbin, for example red 20 in column 3.
When should I resend the parked orange 37 pair in Yarn Loop Level 889?
Leave the orange 37 / green 0 pair in storage until the shirt, strap and hat edges have thinned out and the face edges are open. Once orange 30 and orange 40 surface, send it back out so orange eats the face from the edges inward; sending it earlier just returns it almost unused and fills the track.
