Beads Out Level 179 Walkthrough
Beads Out Level 179 is a 4-arm treble-knot shell with two `?` pin caps and a center `x 1` chip over a `300 -> 100` score-chip row and a 4x3 colored-block tray stamped `4, 3, 1, 1, 2, 2`. Unwind the two `?` caps and the four arms first, march the four score chips from `300` down to `100` second, and only then let the numbered tray counters drain into the open waist.

How to Solve Beads Out Level 179 — Full Solution
- Clear the upper-left `?` cap and the upper-right `?` cap of the 4-arm treble knot so the pink-red left arm and the blue-orange right arm become accessible.
- Unwind the pink-red left arm and the blue-orange right arm while the `300, 250, 150, 100` score chip row and the 4x3 colored-block tray all stay closed.
- Let the `x 1` center chip drop into the waist and step the `300` and `250` chips down to `200` and `150` before pulling the lower brown-yellow and green-white arms.
- Drain the lower brown-yellow and green-white arms once the `300` chip has reached `150`, using the matched runs to keep the waist clear for the orange and pink pads in the tray.
- Spend the `4, 3, 1, 1, 2, 2` tray counters in numeric order so the dark green, pink, and blue pads in the bottom row reach the waist before the score chips have all cleared.
- Finish with the last white, gray, and dark green singles that drop from the top of the knot once the chip row has reached `100` and the tray is empty.
Colors in this level:
Pink, Red, Blue, Orange, Yellow, Green, White, Gray, Brown, Dark green, Purple
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Popping the upper-left and upper-right `?` caps in the wrong order, which lets the `300` and `250` chips step down before the pink-red and blue-orange arms have unwound.
- Spending the `4, 3, 1, 1, 2, 2` tray counters out of numeric order, which strands the dark green, pink, and blue pads in the bottom row behind the orange and purple pads above them.
Quick Tips for Beads Out Level 179 (spoiler-free)
- Watch the `300` chip — when it reads `200`, both `?` caps should already be clear and the pink-red and blue-orange arms should be halfway unwound. Start the lower arms only after the `300` chip has passed `200`.
- 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 4-arm treble knot with two `?` pin caps on the upper-left and upper-right arms, a small `x 1` center chip, and a tight `? -> ?` connection across the top. The four arms twist around a narrow central waist and feed a single drain spout. The reserve below holds a 4-chip score pair row stepping from `300` to `250` to `150` to `100` (gray, dark brown, orange, pink) and a 4x3 colored-block tray (red, yellow, white, orange / red, brown, purple, dark green / green, pink, blue / orange, purple, blue) stamped with small `4, 3, 1, 1, 2, 2` counter chips.
- Goal
- Thin the 4-arm treble knot before the two `?` pin caps and the `300 -> 100` chip row start releasing the tray, because the late `4, 3, 1, 1, 2, 2` tray counters only drain cleanly while the waist still has room to pass them.
- Opening
- Start on the upper-left `?` cap and the upper-right `?` cap, then unwind the pink-red left arm and the blue-orange right arm while the `300, 250, 150, 100` chip row and the 4x3 tray stay closed.
- Danger Zone
- The two `?` caps, the four score chip pairs, and the 4x3 tray all share the same narrow waist under the treble knot, so if the `300` and `250` chips start spending before the upper arms have unwound, the late `4, 3, 1, 1, 2, 2` tray counters pin behind the dark green, pink, and blue pads in the bottom row of the tray.
- Mechanics
- Level 179 is a 4-arm treble-knot + 2-`?` cap + 4-chip score row + 4x3 numbered-tray board, where the two `?` caps control the upper arms, the `300 -> 100` chip row controls the score timing, and the `4, 3, 1, 1, 2, 2` tray counters are the real cleanup finish.
Frequently Asked Questions
When should the `300` chip start counting in Beads Out Level 179?
After the upper-left `?` cap and upper-right `?` cap have both opened and the pink-red left arm and blue-orange right arm have unwound enough to give the waist room.
Why is the 4x3 tray so crowded in Beads Out Level 179?
Because the dark green, pink, and blue pads in the bottom row all carry numbered counters (`1`, `2`, `2`) that only release once the `300 -> 100` chip row has stepped down far enough to free the waist.
