Beads Out level guide
Beads Out Level 402 Walkthrough
Level 402 wraps a smaller U inside a wide outer U and gates its lower reserve behind paired `6/8` counters. Complete the open-grid colors in outlet order so both numbered side columns fall together, then save room for the center `2` covers and incoming-tail colors.

How to Solve Beads Out Level 402 — Full Solution
- Load dark green, pink, cyan, and cream for the first lower-U bands, replacing a receiver only after it fills and leaves.
- Add orange and bright green from the open grid as their bands reach the outlet; their departures move both side columns from `6/8` to `5/7`.
- Use gray, light green, cyan, and pink around the inner U, keeping red and purple out of the active row until their turns.
- Send red and then purple while the shared counters pass through `4/6`, `3/5`, `2/4`, and `1/3`.
- After the upper side covers open, use the exposed dark blue and burgundy receivers for the outer-U bands and continue until the lower side covers open.
- Complete yellow and advance the two center covers marked `2` through normal receiver departures.
- Use the revealed green and navy boxes for the arriving feeder tails while preserving a slot for the next outer-band color.
- Finish orange, pink, olive, and dark green; the final pink receiver leaves after the last tail segment drains.
Colors in this level:
Dark green, Pink, Cyan, Cream, Orange, Bright green, Gray, Light green, Red, Purple, Dark blue, Burgundy, Yellow, Navy, Olive
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Loading the visible red and purple boxes together before either band reaches the outlet.
- Treating the left and right numbered columns as separate puzzles instead of one synchronized completion clock.
Quick Tips for Beads Out Level 402 (quick clues)
- Choose a receiver that can finish immediately because every departure advances both side columns.
- Leave red and purple in the open grid until their bands reach the bottom half of the U.
- Do not forget the two center covers after the side stacks disappear.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Two feeder tails enter nested U-shaped tracks above one outlet. The reserve has an open color grid, mirrored side columns marked `6` over `8`, and two narrow center covers marked `2` beside a yellow receiver.
- Goal
- Drain the inner and outer U while receiver departures reduce both numbered side columns, open the center covers, and expose the final lower boxes.
- Opening
- Start with dark green, pink, cyan, and cream, then introduce orange and bright green as the first receivers leave.
- Danger Zone
- Red and purple are clickable well before their lower-curve bands arrive. Holding both with unfinished cyan and pink fills all four slots and stalls the next counter-reducing completion.
- Mechanics
- The mirrored `6/8` columns count down together on receiver completions; the two center `2` covers remain for a later release stage.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do the two `6/8` columns count down separately in Level 402?
No. Each completed receiver reduces the matching values on both sides together.
What remains after the side numbered stacks open?
The two narrow center covers marked `2` still gate the late green and navy layer, so keep completing current outlet colors.
