Yarn Loop level guide
Yarn Loop Level 917 Walkthrough
A smiling green recycling bin with a dark green lid, pink cheeks and a white recycling symbol stands on a gray floor, with two four-color yarn blocks in the upper corners that clear themselves as the bin's colors pass.
Verified Board Notes
- Initial Layout Geometry
- A smiling green recycling bin with black eyes, pink cheeks and a white recycling symbol stands on a gray floor, with a dark green and lime lid and thin black arms. Two small blocks with white, pink, green and black yarn balls sit in the upper corners. Four supply columns show gray 20, pink 10, dark gray 30 and black 30 on top, with '?' bobbins lower down; storage has five empty slots and the track is empty.
- Goal / Target Area
- Clear the bright green body, the white recycling symbol, the dark green lid, the black outline and arms, the pink cheeks and the gray floor, plus both four-ball yarn blocks in the corners.
- Opening Moves
- Dark gray 30 from column three and gray 20 from column one go onto the floor. Black 30 from column four follows, then the dark green 20 behind it, then pink 10 from column two. Column one's first black 40 leaves alone, its gray 30 follows, and the '?' below turns into a second black 40 linked to the pink 10 under column two's green 50. After the black 30s from columns four and three, the green 50 goes, and the linked pair boards together.
- Danger Zone
- A white 29 parks in storage for a long stretch. Late on, the chain of two dark green 30s and a white 40 parks beside it, at dark green 23 and 24 and again at 5 and 6, so only one slot is free; re-send the chain before the white.
- Unique Mechanics
- Linked bobbins board together once every member stands at the front: the second black 40 with a pink 10, a white 30 with a dark green 30, and later two dark green 30s with a white 40. Several '?' bobbins show their color only as they come up; one under column one becomes the linked black 40, and the one linked to column three's gray 30 becomes dark green 20. Two corner yarn blocks each hold a white, pink, green and black ball that passing bobbins of those colors take one at a time.
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 917
- Column one holds two black 40s. The first leaves on its own; the second starts as a '?' and is linked to the pink 10 under column two's green 50, so send the green 50 before expecting that pair to move.
- Each corner block holds one white, one pink, one green and one black yarn ball. Any bobbin of those colors passing by takes its ball, so the blocks clear on their own as you work the bin.
- One white bobbin can sit in storage for most of the second half. That is fine, but the late dark green and white chain parks beside it with three pieces, so keep the other slots clear before sending that chain.
How to Solve Yarn Loop Level 917 — Full Solution
- Send the dark gray 30 from column three onto the gray floor, then the gray 20 from column one; '?' bobbins wait further down the four supply columns.
- Send black 30 from column four for the black outline around the bin. Column four then shows dark green 20; send it on the dark green brim of the lid.
- Send pink 10 from column two for the pink cheeks. On its laps it also takes the pink yarn ball from each corner block. Column two now shows green 50, with a second pink 10 under it whose link bar runs to a '?' in column one.
- Send column one's black 40 on its own, then the gray 30 behind it for more floor. The '?' under them comes up as a second black 40, linked to that pink 10. Send the last black 30s from columns four and three on the outline meanwhile.
- Send green 50 from column two first for the bin body; this brings the pink 10 linked to column one's black 40 up to the front. Then send the black 40 and pink 10 together. The pair parks briefly as a small black and pink leftover; re-send it as soon as places open.
- The gray 30 in column three's second row is linked to a '?' in column four. When both reach the front the '?' shows as a dark green 20. Send the pair together: gray finishes the floor while dark green works the lid.
- Send the white bobbins as they surface from columns one, three and four onto the recycling symbol. A white 30 in column one is linked to the dark green 30 beside it in column two; send that pair once both stand at the front. One white comes back at 29 and stays in storage; leave it there.
- Watch the corner blocks while the black, white and green bobbins circle. Each ball vanishes when a bobbin of its color passes: the right block goes first, around the middle of the level, and the left block clears a little later.
- Send the later green 50s for the bright green body. Next, two dark green 30s at the front of columns one and two are linked to the white 40 beside them in column three; send that linked chain of three for the lid, the darker body edge and the symbol.
- That chain comes back beside the white 29 more than once, smaller each time and with its white member, so four slots are taken and only one stays free. Re-send the chain first, then the white 29 once the remaining white of the symbol sits near the track.
- Supply ends with a black 30 linked to a green 40. Send the pair on the last black outline and green body pixels, then re-send any small black, white and green leftovers until the bin is gone.
Colors in this level:
Green, Dark green, White, Black, Gray, Pink
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Expecting the linked black 40 to board while the green 50 still covers its pink 10; the pair moves only after the green 50 is sent and both stand at the front, and then it takes two places on the track.
- Rushing the white 29 back out of storage while the symbol is still hidden behind other colors; it just returns, so let it wait until the white pixels are exposed.
- Saving a pink or black bobbin just for the corner blocks; the balls are taken automatically by bobbins already working the bin.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the four-ball squares in the corners of Yarn Loop Level 917?
They are yarn blocks holding a white, a pink, a green and a black ball. A bobbin of each color takes its ball while it circles the track, and the block disappears after all four are gone.
Why won't the second black 40 in column one leave by itself in Yarn Loop Level 917?
That black 40 starts as a '?' and is linked to the pink 10 under column two's green 50. Once the green 50 leaves, the pink comes to the front and the two board together.
Is it a problem that a white bobbin stays in storage for so long in Level 917?
No. A white leftover of 29 sits in storage for most of the second half while other colors cover the symbol. Keep the remaining slots open for the three-piece dark green and white chain, and re-send the white once the white symbol pixels reach the edge.
