What You're Up Against

Level 1280 paints Donut with 208 tiles across 4 colors, split into 9 cubes in the tray. You have 5 waiting slots and two nest holes.

  • Sand: 88 tiles โ†’ cubes of 31, 24, 19, 14
  • Orange: 86 tiles โ†’ cubes of 43, 33, 10
  • Aqua: 24 tiles โ†’ cubes of 24
  • Lime: 10 tiles โ†’ cubes of 10

โš ๏ธ 1 hidden โ€œ?โ€ cube in the tray.

Spoiler: what they hide

Aqua 24

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 โ€œ?โ€ 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.

  1. Send the Sand 31 cube.
  2. Send the Sand 24 cube.
  3. Send the Sand 19 cube.
  4. Send the Orange 10 cube.
  5. Send the Orange 33 cube. Only ~22 of its 33 tiles are open at this point โ€” park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
  6. Send the Sand 14 cube. Only ~13 of its 14 tiles are open at this point โ€” park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
  7. Send the Orange 43 cube. Only ~19 of its 43 tiles are open at this point โ€” park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
  8. Send the Lime 10 cube.
  9. Send the Aqua 24 cube. Only ~12 of its 24 tiles are open at this point โ€” 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.
