What You're Up Against
Level 17 paints Rainbow with 198 tiles across 4 colors, split into 14 cubes in the tray. You have 5 waiting slots and one nest hole.
- Dark: 64 tiles → cubes of 22, 15, 15, 12
- Black: 48 tiles → cubes of 20, 12, 9, 7
- Cyan: 46 tiles → cubes of 23, 14, 9
- Coral: 40 tiles → cubes of 22, 9, 9
⚠️ 1 hidden “?” cube in the tray.
Spoiler: what they hide
Coral 9
🔒 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 Cyan 14 cube.
- Send the Black 12 cube.
- Send the Dark 12 cube.
- Send the Coral 9 cube.
- Send the Cyan 9 cube.
- Send the Coral 9 cube.
- Send the Dark 15 cube.
- Send the Black 7 cube.
- Send the Dark 15 cube.
- Send the Coral 22 cube.
- Send the Cyan 23 cube. Only ~19 of its 23 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 9 cube.
- Send the Black 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 Dark 22 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.
