Beads Out level guide
Beads Out Level 16 Walkthrough
Beads Out Level 16 introduces stone blockers inside the reserve pit. Let the upper shelf do the opening work, bridge through orange, brown, cream, and red, and save the rock-split green-pink endgame until the half-ring is already thin.
Board Notes
- Layout
- The board is a wide half-ring under two feeders, while the reserve pit below is split by dark stone blockers. Brown, cream, red, blue, yellow, pink, and green boxes are packed into stepped pockets that do not all connect to each other.
- Goal
- The first goal is to keep the upper shelf moving while the blocker-split bottom row stays untouched. The late goal is to release the trapped green and pink boxes only after the upper arch is no longer crowded.
- Opening
- Open with orange, rotate into brown and cream, then use red through the lower lip. Yellow remains useful in the middle, while green and pink stay parked behind the blockers.
- Danger Zone
- The bottom row creates fake recovery paths because the stone blocks cut it into separate pockets.
- Mechanics
- Level 16 is the first blocker puzzle. The route depends on which colors can actually be extracted around the stones, not just on what color is visible.
Quick Tips for Beads Out Level 16 (spoiler-free)
- Visible does not mean playable on this board; the blockers decide which bottom colors are live.
- 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.
How to Solve Beads Out Level 16 — Full Solution
- Start with the orange box to break the lower-left edge of the half-ring.
- Move into brown and then cream while the outlet is still rotating through upper-shelf colors.
- Use red once the lower-right strip reaches the drain and let yellow take the next late-middle sweep.
- Keep the blocker-split green and pink boxes parked until the upper colors are mostly gone.
- Finish with green, pink, and the last pale tail only after the blockers stop pinning those colors in dead pockets.
Colors in this level:
Orange, Brown, Cream, Red, Yellow, Green, Pink
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Using green or pink before the upper half of the ring has thinned.
- Treating the blocked bottom row as if it were one shared tray.
