What You're Up Against
Level 1290 paints Citrus with 325 tiles across 5 colors, split into 11 cubes in the tray. You have 5 waiting slots and two nest holes.
- Violet: 136 tiles → cubes of 52, 46, 38
- Blue: 84 tiles → cubes of 38, 24, 22
- White: 80 tiles → cubes of 41, 33, 6
- Cyan: 20 tiles → cubes of 20
- Brown: 5 tiles → cubes of 5
⚠️ 1 hidden “?” cube in the tray.
Spoiler: what they hide
Brown 5
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 Blue 38 cube.
- Send the Blue 24 cube.
- Send the White 33 cube.
- Send the White 6 cube.
- Send the White 41 cube. Only ~19 of its 41 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Violet 38 cube.
- Send the Blue 22 cube.
- Send the Violet 52 cube. Only ~33 of its 52 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Violet 46 cube. Only ~26 of its 46 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Cyan 20 cube. Only ~16 of its 20 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Brown 5 cube. Only ~4 of its 5 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.
