Beads Out Level 342 Walkthrough
Level 342 wraps an hourglass route around a curtain marked 4, a purple key box, and a blue chained reserve column. Complete the preloaded purple receiver, work through olive, red, and gray, then open the lock before committing the late orange and covered-column colors.

How to Solve Beads Out Level 342 — Full Solution
- Keep the starting purple receiver, click olive beside it, then add red and gray to fill the opening four slots.
- Let purple and gray complete and leave; click mint and dark green into the reopened slots while olive and red continue filling.
- Complete the first curtain-linked receiver to change the left curtain from 4 to 3; orange becomes exposed directly beside the counter.
- Click orange only when the orange hourglass band reaches the outlet, then use yellow for the following pale-yellow group.
- The next linked completion changes the curtain from 3 to 2; cycle blue and pink without occupying the slot reserved for the next reveal.
- Complete the next matching receiver to change 2 to 1, then use brown and cream while the final curtain fill arrives.
- Make the fourth linked completion to open the curtain and expose the lower-left purple key carrier and its buried colors.
- Send that purple key box on a purple band; its completion removes the blue chain and reveals the right column's blue, cream, and covered lower boxes.
- Clear the revealed right column from the top down with blue, cream, green, and the final red/pink receivers, then finish the two feeder tails.
Colors in this level:
Purple, Olive, Red, Gray, Mint, Dark-green, Orange, Brown, Blue, Pink, Cream, Green, Yellow, Cyan
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Pulling orange before the curtain has advanced and filling the fourth active slot.
- Parking the purple key box before a purple band reaches the outlet.
Quick Tips for Beads Out Level 342 (quick clues)
- Let purple and gray leave before adding orange; that is the fill that exposes the curtain's 3 stage.
- At curtain 2, keep one slot open for yellow instead of parking another pink box.
- Do not select the covered right column by appearance; it becomes usable only after the purple key receiver removes the blue chain.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Two question-mark feeder arms enter an hourglass loop. Purple 0% starts active; a left reserve column contains a 4 curtain and purple key box, the center holds loose olive, mint, pink, red, navy, green, gray, and brown boxes, and a blue chain covers the right column.
- Goal
- Reduce the 4 curtain, complete the purple key box to open the blue lock, and drain both feeder arms with the newly exposed reserve.
- Opening
- Complete purple, add olive, then use red and gray before replacing them with mint and dark green.
- Danger Zone
- Selecting orange while purple, olive, red, and gray still occupy the row removes the only free slot needed at the next hourglass color change.
- Mechanics
- A curtain begins at 4, a purple key box releases a blue lock, and three right-side reserve cells start covered.
Frequently Asked Questions
What opens the chained reserve in Level 342?
Complete the purple key-carrying receiver when purple reaches the outlet; it releases the blue lock.
Why should orange wait?
It arrives after the early purple, olive, red, and gray cycle, so selecting it early blocks the needed fourth slot.
What appears at each curtain stage?
Orange is exposed at 3, later yellow and lower-left colors become usable through 2 and 1, and the purple key carrier is reachable only after the curtain opens.
