Beads Out Level 489 Walkthrough

How to Solve Beads Out Level 489 — Full Solution
- Keep olive 0% and red 0% preloaded and add yellow and purple only into the two empty slots.
- Complete the opening matches as the center displays fall from 550/500/750 through 455/405/655.
- Replace departures while the counters continue through 400/350/600 and 300/250/500.
- Use cyan, brown, pink, and green as the values pass 200/150/400 and 150/100/350.
- Reserve a mystery slot while the displays reach 100/50/300 and continue toward zero.
- After the center counters clear, follow the bottom arrows and process the boxes moved onto the revealed track.
- Use a later completion to change the right counter from 4 to 3 and expose its next position.
- Change the left counter from 3 to 2 to 1 to clear, using each box moved from the left track.
- Return right and change its remaining 3 to 2 to 1 to clear, releasing the last right-side boxes.
- Alternate blue, gray, orange, lavender, navy, white, and brown with the mystery feeder tails.
- Replace only departed receivers as the final track boxes move into accessible positions.
- Finish yellow, pink, green, red, and blue until `Great!` appears.

Quick Tips for Beads Out Level 489 (quick clues)

- After each release, watch which lower box moves onto the track.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Mystery feeders enter a crossing loop. Olive and red preload two slots above central 550/500/750 displays and side counters marked left 3 and right 4.
- Goal
- Clear the three central counters, use their track reveal, then finish the left and right counter releases.
- Opening
- Keep olive and red loaded and use only the two empty slots for the next yellow and purple matches.
- Danger Zone
- The numeric plates never occupy active slots; filling the row before a mystery reveal can block a box moved from a newly exposed track.
- Mechanics
- Three center counters descend together, reveal bottom tracks at zero, and are followed by a right-4 stage, a left-3 clear, and the remaining right clear.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the 550, 500, and 750 objects?
They are board counters that decrement while real colored receivers fill; they never occupy active slots.
How do the side counters resolve?
The right 4 begins first, the left 3 counts to clear, then the remaining right count finishes.
