Wool Sort: Yarn Color Puzzle

Wool Sort: Yarn Color Puzzle is about grabbing a loose yarn end and feeding it into a basket of the same dye. You can only pull a strand that is on top of the pile; buried colors stay stuck until the yarns covering them are cleared. A basket closes when it holds a full set of one color. You pass the level when every skein is sorted and no mixed pile remains.

How to play

Gameplay

  1. 1

    Tap an exposed yarn end on the pile — buried strands cannot be grabbed yet.

  2. 2

    Send that strand into a basket showing the same color, or into an empty basket.

  3. 3

    Fill a basket with one color to close it and stop using it as overflow.

  4. 4

    Peel the pile from the top down so trapped colors become the new top layer.

  5. 5

    If baskets overflow with the wrong color, restart and open a second empty basket sooner.
