Beads Out level guide
Beads Out Level 286 Walkthrough
Level 286 coils two feeder arms around a nested U above four wooden stacks marked 2, 3, 4, and 6. Gray and purple begin at 0% and white shows only about 5% fill, so all three opening receivers still need substantial matching bands while the stack releases expose later colors.

How to Solve Beads Out Level 286 — Full Solution
- Keep gray 0%, white about 5%, and purple 0% active while their first bands rotate through the inner U.
- Continue feeding white across later white bands—it still has roughly 95% left—while gray and purple build from 0%.
- Reserve the fourth slot for the next short inner-U receiver instead of selecting a distant outer-arm color.
- Reduce the wooden 2 stack as its matching colors arrive, then take the receiver it exposes.
- Work the wooden 3 and 4 stacks through the middle rotations while preserving one empty slot at each handoff.
- Leave the wooden 6 release for the longer outer-arm sequence, adding each exposed color only when its band enters the nested U.
- Clear the remaining gray, purple, green, and orange tail bands after all four stacks are open.
Colors in this level:
Gray, White, Purple, Lavender, Yellow, Orange, Dark blue, Green, Cyan, Pink, Red, Brown
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Reading white's 5% fill as 5% remaining and expecting it to clear immediately.
- Treating the 2, 3, 4, and 6 wooden stacks as one simultaneous release.
Quick Tips for Beads Out Level 286 (quick clues)
- White at about 5% is almost empty, not almost complete; plan for several white bands.
- Treat the wooden 6 as the long gate; clear the 2 and 3 releases first when their colors reach the outlet.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Two tall arms wrap around a nested U with one bottom outlet. Gray 0%, white about 5%, and purple 0% occupy three opening slots; the reserve includes four wooden stacks marked 2, 3, 4, and 6.
- Goal
- Build gray, white, and purple from their low opening progress, then reduce the 2/3/4/6 wooden stacks without losing a receiver slot for the next inner-U color.
- Opening
- Keep gray 0%, white about 5%, and purple 0% active for their matching lower-U bands; do not expect white to clear after one short group, and reserve the fourth slot for the next outlet color.
- Danger Zone
- Starting a color from the outer arms while gray and purple are still building can occupy the fourth slot across several inner-U turns.
- Mechanics
- Three percentage receivers open the solve, while four separate wooden stacks—2, 3, 4, and 6—release the reserve in unequal stages.

Which wooden stack takes longest?
The stack marked 6 needs the most release stages; the 2 and 3 stacks can expose useful boxes earlier.
