Yarn Untangle
Yarn Untangle is a relaxing yet deceptively challenging logic puzzle where your only goal is to unravel a messy web of colorful strings. Each level presents you with a tangled pile of yarn stretched between various pegs. Your job is to move those pegs around the board until no two strands of yarn are crossing each other. When a line is tangled, it appears red; once it is free and clear, it turns bright and satisfyingly untangled.
The pace is entirely up to you, with no timers or stressful penalties. The game starts with simple knots to teach you the ropes, but quickly scales up into complex, screen-filling tangles that require real spatial reasoning. Sometimes accompanied by a playful cat pawing at the yarn, it is a perfect game for zoning out and clearing your head while giving your brain a gentle workout.
Controls
The game relies entirely on a simple point-and-drag interface.
- PC: Click and hold the left mouse button on a peg, then drag it to an empty spot on the board and release.
- Mobile/Tablet: Tap and drag a peg to a new position using your finger.
Tips that actually help
- Start from the outside: Look for the strands of yarn that are clearly on the outer edge of the knot and pull them away from the center first. This creates breathing room to see the rest of the puzzle.
- Use the corners: If you are completely stuck, drag a few pegs into the far corners of the board. Stretching the puzzle out makes it much easier to spot which lines are crossing.
- Watch for anchored pegs: In later levels, some pegs are bolted down and cannot be moved. You will need to untangle the movable pegs around these fixed points, so identify them early.
Yarn Untangle is an excellent choice if you enjoy methodical, unhurried puzzle games that reward patience and logical thinking. It runs instantly in your browser with no installation required.
