- Violet: 47 tiles → cubes of 47
- Yellow: 24 tiles → cubes of 21, 3
- Teal: 18 tiles → cubes of 18

Yellow 3
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 Jade 25 cube.
- Send the Jade 23 cube.
- Send the Jade 6 cube.
- Send the Yellow 3 cube.
- Send the Violet 47 cube. Only ~15 of its 47 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Jade 30 cube. Only ~20 of its 30 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Yellow 21 cube. Only ~15 of its 21 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Teal 18 cube. Only ~14 of its 18 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.
