What You're Up Against
Level 1240 paints Cupcake with 120 tiles across 4 colors, split into 6 cubes in the tray. You have 5 waiting slots and two nest holes.
- Magenta: 55 tiles → cubes of 47, 8
- Red: 38 tiles → cubes of 22, 16
- White: 15 tiles → cubes of 15
- Purple: 12 tiles → cubes of 12
⚠️ 1 hidden “?” cube in the tray.
Spoiler: what they hide
White 15
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. Tap hidden “?” cubes only when you have slot room to absorb a surprise color.
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 Magenta 8 cube.
- Send the Magenta 47 cube. Only ~13 of its 47 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Red 22 cube.
- Send the White 15 cube.
- Send the Red 16 cube. Only ~14 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 Purple 12 cube. Only ~8 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.
