What You're Up Against
Level 1 paints Star with 177 tiles across 3 colors, split into 18 cubes in the tray. You have 5 waiting slots and one nest hole.
- Orange: 100 tiles → cubes of 16, 14, 12, 10, 10, 10, 9, 8, 6, 5
- Yellow: 65 tiles → cubes of 16, 11, 11, 10, 7, 5, 5
- White: 12 tiles → cubes of 12
Step-by-Step Solution
This loading order was computed from the web level layout with a reachability-first strategy: always feed the ants colors they can actually reach, and never let all 5 slots fill with blocked colors.
Load the cubes in this order, letting the ants work between picks. Unless noted, a cube's tiles are fully reachable when you send it.
- Send the Orange 16 cube.
- Send the Orange 14 cube.
- Send the Orange 12 cube.
- Send the Yellow 11 cube.
- Send the Yellow 11 cube.
- Send the Orange 10 cube.
- Send the Orange 10 cube.
- Send the Yellow 10 cube.
- Send the Orange 10 cube.
- Send the Orange 9 cube.
- Send the Orange 8 cube.
- Send the Yellow 7 cube.
- Send the Orange 6 cube.
- Send the Orange 5 cube.
- Send the Yellow 5 cube.
- Send the Yellow 5 cube.
- Send the Yellow 16 cube. Only ~11 of its 16 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the White 12 cube. Only ~10 of its 12 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
Finish without boosters for 3 stars and bonus coins. If the board jams anyway, a Shuffle or Vacuum booster is the cheapest way out.
