Thread Snip
A tangled skein of threads hides a tiny charm; swipe to snip the threads in the right order to free the charm without cutting the wrong ones.
Each round shows a knot of color-coded threads; player swipes across the correct sequence (e.g., outer-first, color order) to unravel the knot and reveal the charm.
Swipe across a thread to snip it; multi-thread combos require continuous swipes.
