How to Solve Beads Out Level 438 — Full Solution
- Match pink, bright green, gray, and navy to the first visible hourglass bands, leaving no receiver assigned to either hidden feeder.
- After one opening box departs, clear mint and cyan, then red and the first box released from its copper sleeve.
- Use brown, yellow, and orange in outlet order; their completion moves the independent left release from `2` to `1`.
- Rotate purple and pink through the freed slots while keeping one space for the next color revealed beneath a black `?` section.
- When the left count reaches `0` and its covers withdraw, clear the newly exposed gray and red rather than entering the chevron column.
- Continue green, yellow, orange, and navy until the separate center release changes from `3` to `2` and the right barrier begins to retract.
- Only after the chevrons open, clear purple and red, then yellow, orange, and brown from the exposed column.
- Finish the revealed feeder tail with red, cyan, brown, and dark green until the last receiver departs and the hourglass is gray.

- Wait for the chevrons to retract before planning the right-column boxes.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Black ? feeder stems enter an hourglass loop above a reserve with copper sleeves, gray covers, releases marked 2 and 3, and a chevron-enclosed right column.
- Goal
- Drain revealed bands, lower both numbered gates, and open the chevron tail.
- Opening
- Match pink, bright green, gray, and navy before using mint, cyan, red, and copper-supported boxes.
- Danger Zone
- The visible chevron column is unavailable early, and hidden feeder colors require one empty slot.
- Mechanics
- Hidden feeders, two independent releases, sleeves, covers, and a chevron gate share four receiver slots.
