About Yarn Untangled
Yarn Untangled is a colour-sorting puzzle with a cozy twist: instead of tubes or jars, you're moving yarn balls into matching groups so a bunch of kittens can nap on them. The core loop is simple — pick up a ball of yarn by clicking and dragging, then drop it onto a pile of the same colour. The first few levels are almost meditative, but once you have five or six colours sharing the same space, the puzzle tightens. You'll find yourself squinting at tangled strands, planning three moves ahead. Who will like it? Anyone who enjoys colour-sorting games (Water Sort, Ball Sort) but wishes they had a cuter aesthetic. Who won't? Players who want time pressure, combos, or any hint system — this one is pure, unhurried logic. The cats don't do anything except sit there, which somehow makes the whole thing feel like a lazy Sunday afternoon.
There’s something so satisfying about untangling yarn in this cute puzzle game. With unlimited levels, you’ll drag and drop colorful yarn balls into the right spots while playful kitties cheer you on. Each move takes a little strategy—figuring out the perfect order to sort everything out. It’s simple, addictive, and oddly calming.

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if I drop a yarn ball on the wrong colour pile?
Nothing bad — the ball just sits on top of that pile. You can pick it up again and move it later. There's no penalty for mistakes.
How do I know when a level is finished?
The level ends when every yarn ball sits on a pile containing only balls of its own colour. The kittens will celebrate with a short animation.
Are there any hints or undo buttons?
No. The game provides no hints, no undo, and no reset for the current level. You have to solve it with your own planning.
Can I play on a phone or tablet?
Yes. The controls work with tap and drag on touchscreens, just like left-click and drag on a computer.
Do the cats do anything besides sit there?
They don't help with gameplay, but they do react with a happy meow or stretch when you finish a level. They're mostly for company.
