Bobbin Trail

Button matching puzzle

Phones and computers

Bobbin Trail is a button matching puzzle that plays in the browser on phones, tablets and computers, for one player.

Draw one thread through neighbouring buttons that switch between two kinds at every step, then let go to sew them away. Threads need four buttons or more, so a button of the other kind becomes a bridge between the ones a goal needs. There are 40 campaign levels with goals, knots and a move limit, and an endless cushion where long threads win moves back.

Tips

Count bridges, not just targets: four red buttons need three of another kind between them, so look for a second kind that weaves through the reds.
Threads can run diagonally, and every step may turn, so a zigzag through a crowded corner often reaches eight or more buttons.
In endless mode a thread of 6 earns a move back, then the bar rises to 7, then 8, so spend your longest threads when the bar is low.

Can the cushion run out of possible threads?

No. After every sew the game checks that a thread of four still exists, and if none does the buttons are reshuffled until one appears. Knots stay where they are and only leave when a thread passes beside them.

How are the move limits set?

A bot plays each of the 40 levels from the same starting cushion and falling buttons, using threads of six buttons at most, and the limit is its move count with room to spare: 60 percent extra at first and 35 percent by the last level.
