What is Bobbin Bunch?
Bobbin Bunch is a triple-match tile puzzle in the browser where you clear a stacked sewing table by sending notions to a 7-seat tray, three alike at a time. Only tiles with nothing on top can be taken; from level 9 some lie face down until uncovered, and from level 17 pins hold tiles until 1 to 3 triples are sewn. With no timer and 30 levels growing from 9 to 57 tiles, it suits a calm, think-ahead break.

How do you play Bobbin Bunch?
Clear the sewing table. Tap or click any tile with nothing lying on it and it drops into the tray beside its own kind. When three of one notion meet in the tray they are sewn away at once, freeing their seats. Seven tiles in the tray with no three alike ends the level, and so does a table where no tile can be taken. Covered tiles look dimmer; from level 9 some lie face down until uncovered, and from level 17 pins hold tiles until enough triples are sewn. Undo, Hint and Start over help along the way.
Tips & strategy
- Before taking a new kind, check that two more of it are free or about to be uncovered; a lone tile can block a seat all level.
- Keep the tray at 4 tiles or fewer: that earns a star and leaves 3 seats free for the tile that finishes a pair.
- Prefer tiles that uncover others: a free tile resting on two or three covered tiles opens more choices than one at the table's edge.
- With pins on the table, read their numbers first and sew the easiest triples early, so pinned tiles are free when you reach them.
- Stuck with 5 or 6 tiles in the tray? Press Hint: it only lights a tile from an order that can still clear the table.

Bobbin Bunch FAQ
What happens when three of the same notion reach the tray in Bobbin Bunch?
They are sewn away at once and their three seats empty. The sewing happens before the tray is checked, so the third tile of a kind always fits, even when the tray already holds six. Each triple sewn also counts towards the pins on Ribbon Drawer and Grand Quilt tables.
Why does Bobbin Bunch care how full the tray gets?
Because one of the three stars depends on it. A level gives a star for clearing the table, one for finishing without Undo and one if the tray never held more than 4 tiles. Every level ships with a winning order that stays within 4, so all three stars are always reachable.
What do the numbers on pins mean in Bobbin Bunch?
A pin's number is how many more triples must be sewn before that tile can be taken. Pins appear from level 17 and ask for 1 to 3 triples; the number drops each time three alike leave the tray, and the pin pops off at zero. A pinned tile can lie uncovered while it waits.
How do face-down tiles work in Bobbin Bunch?
A face-down tile shows a gingham back while something lies on it, so its notion stays hidden. It turns face up as soon as the last tile on top is taken. They appear from the Button Jar chapter (level 9), 3 to 10 per table, so uncover them before you commit a new kind to the tray.
What ends a Bobbin Bunch level before the table is clear?
You lose when the tray holds 7 tiles with no three alike, or when no tile on the table can be taken, for example because every free tile is still pinned. The sheet that opens offers Undo, which puts the last tile back, or Start over. There is no timer and there are no lives.
Can the Hint in Bobbin Bunch get you out of a crowded tray?
Only if a win is still possible. Hint searches for a winning order from the current table and lights its next tile; if no order can win any more, the helper says so and Undo is the way back. Hints never cost a star, while each Undo costs the no-undo star.
