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 Coral 11 cube.
- Send the Aqua 38 cube. Only ~23 of its 38 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Aqua 52 cube. Only ~19 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 Red 17 cube.
- Send the Red 49 cube. Only ~20 of its 49 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 33 cube.
- Send the Cyan 21 cube.
- Send the Red 34 cube. Only ~23 of its 34 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Coral 25 cube. Only ~18 of its 25 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Black 38 cube. Only ~22 of its 38 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Red 25 cube. Only ~17 of its 25 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Forest 12 cube. Only ~10 of its 12 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.
