Beads Out Level 117 Walkthrough
Beads Out Level 117 is a deep U-shell over a long ice field. Shrink the tunnel first, then descend through `350`, `275`, `235`, `150`, and `100`, and finish with the smaller `75` and `35` stages in the center pocket.

How to Solve Beads Out Level 117 — Full Solution
- Clear the pink-yellow left wall and the white-green right wall of the U-shell.
- Shorten the inner U-channel while the ice field stays completely closed.
- Wait until the shell is much smaller before the tray begins descending from `350` into `275` and `235`.
- Let the field continue through `150` and `100` only after the lower tray has already opened more space.
- Finish with the smaller `75` and `35` stages once the reserve has narrowed to its last middle pocket.
Colors in this level:
Pink, Yellow, White, Green, Blue, Orange, Purple
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Starting the top ice rows while the shell still has full outer height.
- Ignoring the inner U-channel and leaving too much pressure on the center pocket.
Quick Tips for Beads Out Level 117 (spoiler-free)
- If the center ice values are moving while the U-shell still feels tall, the countdown 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 deep U-tunnel with a narrow inner channel. The reserve is a broad ice field that descends through `350`, `275`, `235`, `150`, and `100`, with smaller `75` and `35` stages above the center of the tray.
- Goal
- Reduce the U-shell before the ice field starts burning down.
- Opening
- Start on the pink-yellow left wall and the white-green right wall, then shorten the inner U-channel between them.
- Danger Zone
- The center of the tray has layered ice values, so the later `150`, `100`, `75`, and `35` stages collide if the first rows open while the shell is still tall.
- Mechanics
- Level 117 hides a long descending ice field under a U-shell instead of using a simple late ladder.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the reserve order in Beads Out Level 117?
The big field falls from `350` through `275`, `235`, `150`, and `100`, and only then leaves the smaller `75` and `35` cleanup.
Why does Level 117 jam in the middle?
Because the later ice stages all want the same center pocket once the early rows start to melt.
