About Yarn Words
Every puzzle is a tangle of letters with a phrase hidden inside. Draw one unbroken thread through every letter — up, down, sideways, or diagonal — and the words unwind in your hand. The clock stays out of your way while you think. Then there's the Loom — a wide, calm canvas that's yours to fill. Every puzzle you solve earns more yarn to weave with, and you can share whatever you make. • 262 hand-tangled puzzles, from quick warm-ups to real knots • Hints when you need them — the first letter, the first word, or halfway • The Loom — a canvas you weave from the puzzles you've solved • Play the first 14 free. The rest come in two packs — one purchase each, yours to keep. No subscription, no ads. Pull the thread. See what it spells.
What’s new
Version 1.1 · Updated October 13, 2026
A gentler start: the first puzzle is front and center, How to play is quicker, and the intro plays on its own. New hint button: get the first letter, the first word, or half the thread — your pick, one step at a time. Puzzles 1–14 are free. The rest come in two packs, Warm-ups & Skeins and Tangles & Great Knots — one purchase each, yours to keep. Links to puzzles now open right in the app, and you can ask for a gentle reminder when your next puzzle's waiting.
