Yarn Loop Level 898 Walkthrough
Clear the framed picture of a red bowl stacked with orange, blue and green layers by peeling the light gray backdrop and yellow diamond before working the layers.
Verified Board Notes
- Initial Layout Geometry
- A brown wooden frame holds a light gray backdrop with beige upper corners and a dark brown base. A yellow diamond sits at the upper right above a green layer, a blue layer with navy shading, an orange layer with tan shading and a red bowl. Supply columns include several linked bobbins, starting with a brown 30 that matches the frame and a dark brown 30 in the third column.
- Goal / Target Area
- Peel the light gray backdrop, frame edges and yellow diamond, then clear the green, blue, orange and red layers as each one touches cleared space, ending on the last green and blue rows.
- Opening Moves
- Send the brown 30 on the frame border, then the dark brown 30 on the base cells. Early gray 40 and beige 40 may lap without draining until more backdrop reaches the edge. Hold the blue 30; early on it circles at 30 and parks in storage.
- Danger Zone
- Linked bobbins return with members at 0 that still occupy storage slots: the green 20, beige 0, yellow 0 trio early and the blue 0, brown 4, navy 0 group late, which with a green 5 fills four of five places.
- Unique Mechanics
- Several bobbins are linked and enter the track together, so a member with work left can be stuck waiting on enclosed targets while its partners return empty. Each colored layer only drains once the backdrop around it is gone.
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 898
- Spend the opening on the brown frame border and the dark brown base; gray, beige and the colored layers drain only as the backdrop around them opens.
- Launch a linked group only when the track has room for every member.
- Bring parked blue and green back from storage as soon as their layer edge opens, before adding new long bobbins.
How to Solve Yarn Loop Level 898 — Full Solution
- Send the brown 30 at the top of the first column first; it unpicks the wooden frame border and drains completely. Then send the dark brown 30 from the third column on the dark base cells beside the bowl. The board is a framed picture of a red bowl stacked with orange, blue and green layers under a yellow diamond, on a light gray backdrop with beige upper corners inside a brown wooden frame.
- Send the gray 40 and beige 40 onto the light gray backdrop and the beige corners. Gray carries most of the early work, because the backdrop has to be peeled away before any colored layer touches cleared space.
- Hold the blue 30. Sent early, it circles at 30 because the blue band is still boxed in by gray and green, and ends up parked in storage for a long stretch.
- The green 20, beige 30 and yellow 20 in the middle columns are linked and enter together. Yellow bites the exposed corner off the diamond (leaving a C shape) and beige finishes a corner, but green stays at 20 while its layer is enclosed; the trio returns as green 20, beige 0, yellow 0 and takes three storage slots.
- Keep sending gray (the gray 50, and the gray 40 linked to a dark red 30) plus the brown 30 and brown 10 for the wooden frame, working the backdrop down until gray is gone above the green layer. Then relaunch the linked trio so the green 20 drains on top of the green band.
- Once gray is cleared beside the right end of the blue band, bring the blue 30 back from storage; it now drains steadily on the blue layer. Add the green 30 and green 20 on the green layer as more of its edge opens.
- Send the navy 10 for the dark shadow at the right end of the blue band and the orange 20s for the orange band with its tan shading. Let returned leftovers drain before adding the next long bobbin.
- Watch the linked blue 20, brown 20 and navy 10: it can come back as blue 0, brown 4 and navy 0 beside a green 5, filling four of the five storage slots. Make room by sending the gray 50 onto the remaining backdrop and letting those small leftovers finish.
- With the top of the bowl open, send the red 30s, the dark red 30 and the red 20 into the bowl; the dark brown 30 and 20 clear the dark base cells beside it.
- Finish with the orange 30, the beige bobbin for the top-left beige patch and the blue bobbins on the thin leftover rows, then the green 30 on the last green mound.
Colors in this level:
Gray, Beige, Yellow, Green, Blue, Navy, Orange, Tan, Red, Dark red, Brown, Dark brown
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Sending the blue 30 at the start; it finds no open blue edge and parks in storage.
- Relaunching the linked green, beige and yellow trio before gray has cleared above the green layer.
- Letting linked leftovers and a green 5 fill storage before the late red bowl work.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the yellow shape a crescent or a diamond?
It starts as a yellow diamond at the upper right. The linked yellow 20 eats its exposed corner first, which leaves a C-shaped remnant until later yellow work finishes it.
Why does the green bobbin stay at 20?
The green layer is enclosed by the light gray backdrop. Green only drains after gray bobbins clear the backdrop above it, so relaunch the linked trio at that point.
Why does the blue 30 keep returning to storage in Yarn Loop Level 898?
Early on the blue band is boxed in by gray and green, so blue 30 circles at 30 and parks in storage. Bring it back once gray is cleared beside the right end of the blue band, where it drains steadily.
