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.

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.
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.
Board notes 5 details
- 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.
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.
