Beads Out Level 36 Walkthrough

hard 5 colors

Beads Out Level 36 is a barrel-shaped double-S with a cyan bridge across the top and two tiny gate blocks in the pit. Open the orange lip and red left wall first, walk the white right pinch and yellow pocket next, and spend the `4` and `3` gates only after the shell is already short.

Board Notes

Layout
The shell looks like a fat barrel: orange sits on the outlet lip, red climbs the lower-left wall, yellow fills the left pocket, cyan bridges the top, and white pinches both sides before purple wraps the lower-right return. The pit is a compact tray with a gray `4` on the upper-left, a white `3` gate on the right, loose orange, red, cyan, pink, and purple tiles, plus two black end-cap blocks that only matter late.
Goal
The upper shell has to shrink before the little numbered blockers can be spent safely.
Opening
Break the orange outlet lip first, then take the red left wall and yellow pocket before you feed the white pinch, the cyan top bridge, or either tiny gate block.
Danger Zone
The numbered blockers are small but still dangerous if the upper shell is thick.
Mechanics
Level 36 is a shell-plus-gate board where the lower pit behaves like a delayed reserve.

Quick Tips for Beads Out Level 36 (spoiler-free)

  • Small numbered blocks are still blockers.
  • With 5 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 36 — Full Solution

  1. Clear the orange strip at the outlet so the lower half of the shell starts moving.
  2. Run the red left wall and the yellow pocket while the barrel is still pressing on the outlet.
  3. Use the white right pinch and the cyan top bridge once the first long loops have shortened.
  4. Spend the gray `4` and the white `3` only after the shell has dropped to a few short bands.
  5. Finish with the black end-caps and the loose pit colors after the gates are open.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Chasing the pit gate before the upper shell is lighter.
  • Ignoring the orange bridge and forcing the same lane twice.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What should happen first in Beads Out Level 36?

    The upper double-S shell should be reduced first. The numbered pit blocks are safer once the shell is already thinner.

  • Why does orange matter in Level 36?

    Orange bridges the crowded middle after red and yellow have opened the upper shell.
