Beads Out Level 17 Walkthrough
Beads Out Level 17 is a corridor-reserve oval packed with brown and dark green shell pieces. Brown and cyan open the outlet first, cream and red hold the middle together, and the deep green alcoves should stay untouched until the corridor has opened.
Board Notes
- Layout
- The board is a narrow oval between two feeders, while the reserve below is a branching corridor with side alcoves. Brown, cyan, cream, pink, red, orange, and dark green boxes are split across those pockets, and the oval itself is heavily green and brown with red-orange seams.
- Goal
- The board only settles once the brown-green shell starts breaking. The deep green alcoves are much later than they appear.
- Opening
- Start on brown, then cyan, then cream while the lower outlet cycles through the oval. Red clears the first strong seam, orange tidies the side turn, and the deep green boxes stay protected.
- Danger Zone
- Touching the deep green alcoves too early cuts off recovery space for the middle corridor.
- Mechanics
- Level 17 is a corridor board where access order matters as much as color order.
Quick Tips for Beads Out Level 17 (spoiler-free)
- The forked reserve behaves like a maze, so deep alcove colors are usually finishers.
- With 6 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 17 — Full Solution
- Start with the brown box and clear the first exposed brown section along the lower outlet.
- Switch to cyan next so the pale-blue strip can replace brown without waking the deep green alcoves.
- Use cream and then red through the middle as the oval rotates into the drain.
- Bring orange in for the side turn once the central shell is already smaller.
- Finish with the deep green boxes after the corridor has opened and the late shell pieces are the only traffic left.
Colors in this level:
Brown, Cyan, Cream, Red, Orange, Dark-green
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Pulling a dark green alcove box out while the shell is still thick.
- Skipping cream and forcing red too early.
Frequently Asked Questions
What should start Beads Out Level 17?
Brown starts first, then cyan, because those two colors chip away at the shell without disturbing the deep green alcoves.
Why should dark green wait in Level 17?
The dark green boxes sit in tight alcoves and are safer once the oval has already narrowed.
