What You're Up Against
Level 16 paints Moon with 256 tiles across 4 colors, split into 16 cubes in the tray. You have 5 waiting slots and one nest hole.
- Indigo: 188 tiles → cubes of 26, 25, 22, 21, 20, 17, 16, 15, 14, 12
- Purple: 51 tiles → cubes of 26, 14, 11
- Blue: 12 tiles → cubes of 9, 3
- Magenta: 5 tiles → cubes of 5
⚠️ 1 hidden “?” cube in the tray.
Spoiler: what they hide
Magenta 5
🔒 1 locked cube — free the cube above them before they can be picked.
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 Indigo 26 cube.
- Send the Indigo 25 cube.
- Send the Indigo 22 cube.
- Send the Indigo 21 cube.
- Send the Indigo 20 cube.
- Send the Indigo 17 cube.
- Send the Indigo 16 cube.
- Send the Indigo 15 cube.
- Send the Purple 14 cube.
- Send the Indigo 14 cube.
- Send the Indigo 12 cube.
- Send the Purple 11 cube.
- Send the Blue 9 cube.
- Send the Purple 26 cube. Only ~17 of its 26 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Magenta 5 cube.
- Send the Blue 3 cube.
Finish without boosters for 3 stars and bonus coins. If the board jams anyway, a Shuffle or Vacuum booster is the cheapest way out.
