Playing it, step by step
World of Yarn is a puzzle set in a world made of coloured yarn. Each object is built from pieces of yarn, and you work on it by tapping pieces that match the colour of a container. When the colours match, the piece dissolves. Poki describes it as cozy and three-dimensional.
Two ideas make the puzzle more than colour matching. First, objects are peeled layer by layer, so the piece you want may be under another one. Second, you can rotate the object to find parts that are hidden from the front. Looking around the object is part of the solution.
Space is limited, according to Poki, so each move needs planning. The choice is not only which piece to tap, but when. Tapping the wrong one first can leave you without room for the next. The game uses a single input, a click or a tap, on desktop, phone and tablet.
Inputs by device
- Click / Tap
- Tap a matching yarn piece
- Rotate the object
- Look for hidden parts (see the in-game prompts)
Hints that help
- Rotate the object before you tap anything. Pieces hidden on the back can change which layer you should peel first.
- Plan around the limited space. Before each tap, ask whether that piece will leave room for the next one you need.
- Peel from the outside in. Because objects come apart in layers, the visible layer is usually the one to deal with first.
- Match the container's colour carefully. Similar shades of yarn are easy to confuse on a small screen.
- If you get stuck, slow down and rotate again. A hidden part you have not seen is a more likely cause than a missing move.
A good match if
Puzzle fans who like thinking a few steps ahead, players who enjoy a soft, tactile look, and anyone who prefers a quiet game with a clear rule set.
Honest minuses
- Poki shows ads around its games, which can interrupt a puzzle's rhythm.
- Limited space means a poor early move can leave you stuck. Expect to retry.
- Rotating a 3D object is harder on a small phone screen than on a larger display. Poki also links the developer's privacy policy on the game page.
