Beads Out Level 102 Walkthrough
Beads Out Level 102 is a rounded star shell over a stepped reserve with paired counters. Smooth out the star first, then let the reserve descend through `600`, `350`, `200`, and `50`, and only after that spend the `3`, `5`, and late `2` finish.

How to Solve Beads Out Level 102 — Full Solution
- Clear the orange top arc and the cyan-magenta lower-left arm of the star shell.
- Reduce the purple-brown lower-right arm while the paired counters and the center `3` stay closed.
- Wait until the star has rounded into a smaller loop before the reserve starts dropping from `600` into `350`.
- Let the paired ladder continue through `200` and `50` before touching the bottom `5` pocket.
- Use the center `3` and the late right-side `2` only after the reserve has narrowed to its last lane.
Colors in this level:
Orange, Cyan, Magenta, Purple, Brown, Yellow, Green
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Opening the `600` stages while both lower star arms are still thick.
- Treating the bottom `5` like an opener instead of a late reserve step.
Quick Tips for Beads Out Level 102 (spoiler-free)
- If the reserve counters are moving while the star still has four full tips, the tray is early.
- With 7 colors in play, clear the pair with the fewest blockers first so the board opens up instead of tightening.
- Think in chain clears. The best move is the one that sets up the next two moves, not just the quickest current match.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- The shell is a rounded four-point star around a hollow center. The reserve below carries paired high counters that drop from `600` to `350` to `200` to `50`, a center `3`, a bottom `5`, and a late right-side `2` with a gray end canister.
- Goal
- Open the star shell first so the reserve values can fall one wave at a time.
- Opening
- Start on the orange top arc and the cyan-magenta lower-left arm, then work the purple-brown lower-right arm.
- Danger Zone
- The reserve shares a cramped middle lane, so the whole counter pocket piles up if the `600` stages start dropping before the star has softened.
- Mechanics
- Level 102 combines a four-point star shell with a paired descending reserve ladder.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the safest order for the reserve in Beads Out Level 102?
Let the paired counters drain first, then use the center `3`, then the bottom `5`, and save the late `2` for the end.
Why does Level 102 jam so easily?
Because the star shell and the reserve both feed the same narrow middle lane if you start the counters too soon.
