Level 38: Loaded Bridge 38

Level 38 uses a loaded bridge made from Wood, Stone. Its 10 targets reward a low opening shot and patience between impacts.

Quick answer

Level 38 uses a loaded bridge made from Wood, Stone. Its 10 targets reward a low opening shot and patience between impacts.

Shot-by-shot plan

1. Use shot one on the lowest wood element nearest the shared center.
2. Remove the lowest shared support and wait for gravity before cleaning up. Watch all 10 targets before firing again.
3. Keep the final 5 reserve shots for anything left near an edge.

Why this works

The loaded bridge concentrates weight through a small number of contact points. Removing the wood path transfers that weight sideways, so gravity does more work than a direct hit on every target.

Common mistakes

• Firing again while the loaded bridge is still moving wastes the 14-ball budget.
• Aiming high can leave a stable base and force an avoidable cleanup shot.
