Beads Out level guide
Beads Out Level 96 Walkthrough
Beads Out Level 96 is a teardrop shell with a key route feeding a `5 -> 2 -> 1` reserve finish. Open the lower-left and right shell sides first, bridge through the upper shoulder next, and then send the key so the lock, the `5`, the late `2`, and the final right `1` resolve in order.
Board Notes
- Layout
- The teardrop broadens at the shoulders and narrows at the bottom neck. The reserve is a key-and-countdown tray with a low-left key, a center-right lock, a mid-board `5` tile near the key lane, and a finish that runs through a late `2` into a final right-side `1`.
- Goal
- Shrink the shell before the key route and the `5 -> 2 -> 1` chain are used.
- Opening
- Attack the yellow-cyan lower-left curve and the blue-purple right side, then move into the orange-green upper shoulder.
- Danger Zone
- The reserve is shallow, so the lock route and the countdown finish share the same lower corridor.
- Mechanics
- Level 96 blends one visible unlock with a short countdown relay.
Quick Tips for Beads Out Level 96 (spoiler-free)
- If the right-side `1` still looks buried, the key route is still too early.
- With 6 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 96 — Full Solution
- Clear the yellow-cyan lower-left curve and the blue-purple right side of the teardrop shell.
- Rotate through the orange-green upper shoulder while the reserve keeps its key route, lock, and `5` tile closed.
- Let the shell tighten before sending the low-left key toward the center-right lock.
- Open the lock, then spend the `5` and the late `2` only after the nearby rows have already thinned.
- Finish with the final right-side `1` after the lower corridor has already simplified to a few singles.
Colors in this level:
Yellow, Cyan, Blue, Purple, Orange, Green
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Sending the key while the shell still has a broad first teardrop turn.
- Treating the `5` tile like a setup move instead of the start of the late countdown finish.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the reserve order in Beads Out Level 96?
Key first, then the lock, then the `5`, then the late `2`, and finally the right-side `1`.
Why is the final `1` so late in Level 96?
Because it shares the same lower corridor as the whole earlier countdown chain. That space has to open first.
