Yarn Loop level guide
Yarn Loop Level 97 Walkthrough
Level 97's chokepoint is the blue-and-orange striped background and the thin black outline around the mask. Shorten that poster first, or the white face panels, gray eyes, and red-orange cheek triangles keep coming back with the striped corner scraps while the square still behaves like a sealed field.
Quick Tips for Level 97 (spoiler-free)
- Shorten the striped field before spending loops on the mask face.
- Trim the black outline early so the white panels stop arriving in one block.
- Hold the cheek triangles until the top and side stripes are shorter.
How to Solve Yarn Loop Level 97 — Full Solution
- Attack the blue-and-orange striped background first so the mask is no longer locked inside a full square field.
- Trim the black outline next, especially the side edges that hold the face together.
- Bring in the white face panels once the outer stripes have already started to split.
- Manage the route carefully around 01:20-01:40, when the striped field, gray eye panels, and cheek triangles can all crowd the loop at once.
- Finish the gray eye pieces, the red-orange cheeks, and the last striped corners only after the backdrop is visibly shorter.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Clearing the easiest color first rather than the one blocking other loop routes.
- Closing a narrow lane that a same-colored yarn path needs later.
- Forgetting that each cleared loop creates new open paths — always reassess after each clear.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the mask keep reconnecting to the corners?
The striped field and the black outline still seal the square, so the face pieces keep feeding back into the background until that poster is shorter.
Are the cheek triangles early or late targets?
They are better as follow-up cleanup after the top and side stripes stop feeding the route.
What makes 01:20-01:40 unstable?
The striped field, the black mask edge, the gray eye panels, and the cheek triangles are all alive together, so the corners keep sending short runs into the loop.
