Tips and Tricks to Twisted Tangle 

Understanding the Basics

Before we delve into the advanced strategies, let's cover the basics of the game. Twisted Tangle is a puzzle game where you have to untangle ropes in as few moves as possible. The game consists of multiple levels, each of which has a unique layout and a unique color scheme for the ropes. Each level has a panel with holes where the ropes are attached at their ends. At the very top of the screen, you'll find a count of how many moves are still available to you.

To play the game, you have to tap on one end of a rope and drag it to another hole in the panel. This will detach the rope from its original hole and attach it to the new one. You will need to continue doing this until all of the ropes are untangled and no longer cross over one another. You will fail the level and have to give it another go if you run exhausted all the moves prior to you untangling all of the ropes.

Starting Out

Beginners should start with the initial levels to grasp the game's physics and mechanics. These early levels involve only a few ropes, making them relatively easy to solve. The level of difficulty substantially ramps up as you make progress through the game.

Strategy: Untangling the Ropes

The key to success in this game lies in identifying the rope you can move first. Once you untangle the first rope, the others will often follow suit. Look for ropes that are attached to the same hole or adjacent holes, as they are more likely to be tangled. Try moving them to opposite sides or away from each other to ease the untangling process.

Advanced Strategies

If you want to beat even the hardest stages in Twisted Tangle, you should think about using these advanced techniques once you've gotten the hang of the game.

Focus on Outer Ropes

One of the best tips for playing the game is to focus on the outermost strings first. These strings are usually easier to move and free up space for unraveling the inner ones. For example, look at this screenshot. By moving the pin on the top left corner, you can create a loop that clears the periphery and opens up possibilities for tackling the complex knots.

Utilize the Bounce and Elasticity

One of the most interesting aspects of Twisted Tangle is the physics simulation. You can manipulate the ropes in various ways by using the pins and the walls. For example, you can pull and release a rope to make it go under another rope. This can create a gap or a bridge between two ropes, allowing you to move them more easily. However, this might also cause more entanglements if you are not careful.

Another physics feature that you can use is bouncing the ropes off the side walls. This can help you reach pins that are blocked by other ropes or create loops that can be used to untangle other parts of the puzzle. But be careful; bouncing too hard might make the ropes go out of control.

Plan Ahead

Take a minute to examine the complete arrangement of the ropes and pins before you attempt to make any changes. Look for patterns, loops, or crossings that can be simplified by moving one or more pins. Identify the crucial pins that need to be moved first and those that can be left for later. 

Instead of randomly moving pins and hoping for the best, planning your moves ahead of time will help you avoid unnecessary actions and save precious moves. Believe me when I tell you that you won't believe how much simpler it will be separating the ropes.

Use Twisted Tangle Help Option More Carefully

If you find yourself stuck on a level, hints/help options can be a lifesaver. They show you the next move to make progress by highlighting the pins that need to be moved. Sometimes, they can reveal hidden solutions that you might have missed. 

However, given that there are only so many clues available, you should avoid using them too frequently if at all possible. Reserve them for particularly challenging levels, and consider replaying easier levels instead of using hints unnecessarily. Don't forget that solving the puzzles by yourself is more fun and rewarding.

Obstacles and Special Items

Some levels in Twisted Tangle feature obstacles and items that add more challenge and variety to the game. Obstacles like walls, spikes, or magnets can complicate rope movement by blocking, damaging, or altering them. While obstacles should be avoided as much as possible, items like scissors, bombs, or keys can assist you in clearing the levels by cutting, exploding, or unlocking ropes.

Take into account that there are only so many of each item, and you can only use it once on each level. Therefore, strategically employing these items to clear levels efficiently is important. For example, some ropes will be unmovable because of some obstacle; by using the scissors on the puzzles, you can cut some of the rope and free the pin that is locked by the key. Same as scissors, you can use the key to unlock the locks and make them movable.
