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.

  1. Send the Blue 38 cube.
  2. Send the Blue 24 cube.
  3. Send the White 33 cube.
  4. Send the White 6 cube.
  5. 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.
  6. Send the Violet 38 cube.
  7. Send the Blue 22 cube.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
