What You're Up Against
Level 1242 paints Crown with 190 tiles across 4 colors, split into 7 cubes in the tray. You have 5 waiting slots and two nest holes.
- Navy: 99 tiles → cubes of 51, 45, 3
- Cream: 80 tiles → cubes of 51, 29
- Aqua: 6 tiles → cubes of 6
- Indigo: 5 tiles → cubes of 5
⚠️ 1 hidden “?” cube in the tray.
Spoiler: what they hide
Cream 29
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 Navy 51 cube.
- Send the Indigo 5 cube.
- Send the Navy 3 cube.
- Send the Navy 45 cube. Only ~38 of its 45 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Cream 29 cube.
- Send the Aqua 6 cube.
- Send the Cream 51 cube. Only ~32 of its 51 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.
