The primary goal is to complete the knitted pattern at the top of the screen by using the corresponding colored spools of thread. To do this, you tap on a spool, and its thread is automatically applied to the correct section of the pattern. A key mechanic is merging; you can drag and drop smaller spools of the same color onto each other to create a larger spool, which is necessary for filling larger pattern areas. The game includes obstacles like locks, which are removed by using a key of the same color, obtained after fully using a spool of that color. Other obstacles include numbered blocks, which require a specific number of merges of that color to be cleared.
Each spool displays a percentage indicating how much thread has been used; the spool is consumed and disappears once it reaches 100%. You are given a limited number of lives, so incorrect moves that lead to a dead end will cost you a life. It is crucial to plan your moves carefully, as using the wrong color or merging spools in the wrong order can prevent you from completing the level.
Strategically prioritize clearing locks and numbered blocks to open up more of the game board. Before making a move, you can tap on a section of the pattern to see which color is required. Always look ahead and plan which spools you will need to merge to tackle larger sections or clear the numbered blocks efficiently. If you have multiple options, choose the move that opens up the most possibilities for future turns.
