How to Solve Beads Out Level 140 — Full Solution
- Clear the red-pink left side and the blue-red right side of the hourglass shell.
- Shorten the throat while the long pin, the `2` bar, and the score pockets stay closed.
- Let the shell relax before the reserve starts using the bottom passage.
- Open the pin lane only after the tray has enough room to absorb the paired score chips without blocking the `2` bar.
- Finish with the late chip pairs and the final `1` cleanup once the board has mostly flattened out.
Colors in this level:
Red, Pink, Blue, Yellow, Green, Orange, White, Purple, Brown
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Opening the pin lane while the narrow throat still feeds a heavy sweep into the tray.
- Trying to clear the score pairs before the `2` bar has a clean lane to finish.
Quick Tips for Beads Out Level 140 (spoiler-free)
- If the `2` bar is already active while both score pairs still crowd the bottom row, the pin tray opened too early.
- With 9 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 pinched hourglass with a wide lower basin and narrow throat. The reserve is a pin-and-countdown tray with a long horizontal pin, a central `2` bar near the bottom, and paired score chips that step down from `350` to `250`, `130`, `55`, and finally `1`.
- Goal
- Thin the hourglass before the pin lane and the `2` bar start releasing the score pockets.
- Opening
- Start on the red-pink left side and the blue-red right side, then shorten the narrow throat.
- Danger Zone
- The pin lane, the `2` bar, and the score pockets all depend on the same bottom passage, so the finish clogs if they start before the shell is light.
- Mechanics
- Level 140 is a score-countdown hourglass board where the long pin controls the whole tray timing.
