Beads Out Level 167 Walkthrough
Beads Out Level 167 is a double-ring figure-8 shell with cyan and pink ear caps and three stacked bead rings over a 1x4 ladder pair row, a 4-column x 3-row color-pair ladder, and a red curtained chamber marked `6`. Pop the ears and drain the three rings first, step the curtain from `6` to `0` second, then collapse the purple, red, green, and cyan ladder columns.

How to Solve Beads Out Level 167 — Full Solution
- Clear the cyan left ear cap and the pink right ear cap of the figure-8 shell so the outer red-orange-brown-gray ring becomes accessible.
- Drain the outer red-orange-brown-gray ring and the middle white-yellow-green ring, letting the early matched runs fall into the 1x4 ladder pair row.
- Pull the inner blue-purple-red-orange ring while the red curtained chamber sits at `6`, using each matched pair to step the chamber down toward `4` and then toward `2`.
- Hold the 4-column ladder still until the pair row has matched all four slots and the curtain has reached `2`, so the late white and gray singles from the figure-8 inner ring still have somewhere to land.
- Spend the 4-column ladder once the curtain reaches `0`; the purple, red, green, and cyan stacks collapse column by column into the now-empty pair row.
- Finish with the last brown, white, and gray singles that drop from the top of the figure-8 once the chamber has fully opened and the ladder is empty.
Colors in this level:
Cyan, Pink, Red, Orange, Brown, Gray, White, Yellow, Green, Blue, Purple
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Popping the pink and cyan ear caps after the inner ring is already collapsing, which jams the early purple and blue singles into the still-empty pair row and forces the curtain to step down out of order.
- Treating the red `6` curtain chamber like a normal pair slot and trying to match it from the 4-column ladder instead of feeding it from the figure-8 inner ring.
Quick Tips for Beads Out Level 167 (spoiler-free)
- If the red `6` curtain chamber has already stepped down to `2` while the figure-8 inner ring is still half full, the shell was drained in the wrong order and the chamber will close its slot before the last singles can land.
- With 11 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 double-ring figure-8 with two top ear caps (cyan left, pink right) and three stacked bead rings around the main loop, packed with red, orange, brown, gray, white, yellow, green, blue, and purple stripes. Below the shell sits a 1x4 ladder pair row, a 4-column x 3-row ladder of color-pair stacks (purple, red, green, and cyan/white columns), and an orange-bordered red curtained chamber marked `6` at the bottom center.
- Goal
- Drain the figure-8 shell before the curtained chamber starts opening, because the chamber counts down `6 -> 4 -> 2` on its own and the late shell runs need room in the pair row before the curtain closes its slot.
- Opening
- Pop the cyan left ear cap and the pink right ear cap first, drain the outer red-orange-brown-gray ring and the middle white-yellow-green ring next, and let the early matched runs feed the 1x4 ladder pair row while the 4-column ladder stays clear.
- Danger Zone
- The 1x4 pair row, the 4-column x 3-row ladder, and the red `6` curtain chamber all share the same narrow vertical lane, so the late white and gray singles pile up on the still-full ladder columns if the chamber drops to `2` before the figure-8 inner ring is gone.
- Mechanics
- Level 167 is a double-ring figure-8 shell over a 4-column ladder with a high-count `6` curtain chamber, where matching the three stacked rings into the pair row, feeding the chamber six times, and then collapsing the ladder columns is the whole solve.
Frequently Asked Questions
What should you clear first in Beads Out Level 167?
The cyan left and pink right ear caps of the figure-8, then the three stacked bead rings, before you spend anything from the 1x4 ladder pair row or the 4-column ladder.
How does the red curtain chamber open in Beads Out Level 167?
It counts down from `6` to `0` on its own as matched pairs from the figure-8 inner ring feed it, and the 4-column ladder only collapses cleanly once the chamber is fully open.
