Beads Out level guide
Beads Out Level 38 Walkthrough
Beads Out Level 38 is a wide half-ring with a single `2` gate inside a tiny reserve. Shorten the left red-green shoulder first, sweep the long blue lower arc next, and leave the gated mini-column for the very end.
Board Notes
- Layout
- The half-ring opens with red on the lower-left, green on the left shoulder, blue across the long bottom arc, and purple plus white on the right shoulder while lime feeds in from both tall upper chutes. The reserve is tiny: a loose purple tile sits on the left, a magenta-gray-green stack stands in the center, a brown tile waits on the right, and a white `2` gate sits under a mint tile.
- Goal
- The shell should soften before the vertical reserve is asked to do much work.
- Opening
- Cut the left red-green shoulder first, then ride the long blue bottom arc before you spend the purple right shoulder or the little `2` gate.
- Danger Zone
- The reserve is simpler than earlier boards, but the single gate still decides whether the lower column recovers.
- Mechanics
- Level 38 is a simplified shell-plus-column board where one gate tile controls the late route.
Quick Tips for Beads Out Level 38 (spoiler-free)
- A simple reserve can still be dangerous if one tile controls all of it.
- With 4 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 38 — Full Solution
- Clear the red strip on the lower-left mouth so the shell can rotate.
- Feed green across the left shoulder and into the long blue arc under the opening.
- Use the purple and white on the right shoulder only after the bottom half-ring is shorter.
- Keep the white `2` gate and the mint tile above it for late, when only short shell runs remain.
- Finish with the center gray-green stack and the brown right tile after the gate is open.
Colors in this level:
Green, Yellow, Purple, White
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Spending the gate early because the reserve looks short.
- Ignoring the late yellow sweep and overusing the early colors.
