Beads Out Level 5 Walkthrough
Beads Out Level 5 adds two side pipes and a purple closer. Orange starts the left pipe, blue and green carry the middle, red catches the right-pipe handoff, and purple is the last box you should spend.
Board Notes
- Layout
- The fifth board is a tall oval loop centered between two vertical side pipes. Orange enters from the left pipe, red enters from the right pipe, and the oval itself alternates purple, green, red, blue, and orange around its rim. Four boxes sit above the lower pit with orange, blue, green, and one empty slot, while red and purple wait in the recessed lower lane.
- Goal
- The real target is to preserve purple until the end. The top-shelf colors need to peel the oval open first, then red handles the right-pipe strip, and purple closes the surviving inner loop.
- Opening
- Start with orange from the top shelf, then switch to blue and green as the lower half rotates by the outlet. Pull red out of the lower recess only when the right pipe reaches the drain, and keep purple parked until every other color is gone.
- Danger Zone
- Purple is the main bait. It sits alone in the pit and looks ready, but using it early only blocks the middle relay and leaves the real pipe-fed colors uncollected.
- Mechanics
- Level 5 is the first board with two different feeder pipes entering one loop. That makes the lower recessed red box a mid-run tool and the lower recessed purple box an endgame closer.
Quick Tips for Beads Out Level 5 (spoiler-free)
- Treat the lower purple box as the finisher even if it looks easy to grab right away.
- With 5 colors in play, clear the pair with the fewest blockers first so the board opens up instead of tightening.
- If the board feels stuck, look for the color with the cleanest path and use that to regain space.
How to Solve Beads Out Level 5 — Full Solution
- Slide the orange box under the outlet first and clear the left-pipe orange plus the nearby orange strip on the oval.
- Move the blue box into place next when the blue section rotates down the right-lower side.
- Swap to the green box for the short green arc that follows through the outlet.
- Bring the red box up from the lower recess when the right-side feeder pipe delivers red to the drain.
- Finish with the purple box from the lower recess after every other color is gone and only the inner purple loop remains.
Colors in this level:

Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Using the purple box before orange, blue, green, and red have all had their turns.
- Ignoring the right feeder pipe and leaving red in the recess too long once it reaches the outlet.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is purple the first or last box in Beads Out Level 5?
Purple is the last box. It cleans up the final inner loop after the pipe-fed colors are gone.
When should the red recess box be used in Level 5?
