Beads Out Level 73 Walkthrough
Beads Out Level 73 is an hourglass shell with one hook gate and three staggered countdown tiles. Reduce the yellow-white and brown-purple shoulders first, clear the red-orange bowl next, and then open the right hook so the `3`, `2`, and final `1` can land in order.

How to Solve Beads Out Level 73 — Full Solution
- Clear the yellow-white left shoulder and the brown-purple right shoulder of the hourglass.
- Rotate through the red-orange lower bowl while the reserve keeps its `3`, hook pair, and lower `2` closed.
- Wait for the shell to shrink before touching the upper-right `3` tile.
- Open the right-center hook pair so the tray can rebalance before the lower-left `2` is spent.
- Finish with the late `1` tile and the last two corner singles after the tray has thinned to only a few pieces.
Colors in this level:
Yellow, White, Brown, Purple, Red, Orange
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Using the upper-right `3` as an opener while the shell still has wide shoulders.
- Ignoring the hook pair and trying to force the lower `2` too soon.
Quick Tips for Beads Out Level 73 (spoiler-free)
- If the upper-right `3` still looks tempting, it is probably 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.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- The hourglass flares at the outer shoulders and tightens at the inner waist. The reserve is a split tray with an upper-right `3` countdown tile, a lower-left `2` tile, a hook-linked pair on the right-center, and a late `1` tile that remains after most of the tray collapses.
- Goal
- Soften the hourglass before the tray begins cashing in its staggered counters.
- Opening
- Start on the yellow-white left shoulder and the brown-purple right shoulder, then rotate through the red-orange lower bowl.
- Danger Zone
- The tray has several corners, but they are linked by the right-center hook. Spending the top `3` too early usually forces the lower `2` and the late `1` before the shell is ready.
- Mechanics
- Level 73 mixes one hook gate with three countdown tiles placed on different heights of the reserve.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is the hook important in Beads Out Level 73?
Because the reserve counters are staggered across different corners. The hook has to open before the later `2` and `1` can clear cleanly.
Which countdown tile should move first in Level 73?
The upper-right `3`, but only after the hourglass shell has already shrunk.
