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 โ†’ cubes of 22, 15, 15, 12
  • Black: 48 tiles โ†’ cubes of 20, 12, 9, 7
  • Cyan: 46 tiles โ†’ cubes of 23, 14, 9
  • Coral: 40 tiles โ†’ cubes of 22, 9, 9

โš ๏ธ 1 hidden โ€œ?โ€ cube in the tray.

Spoiler: what they hide

Coral 9

๐Ÿ”’ 1 locked cube โ€” 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 โ€œ?โ€ 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 Cyan 14 cube.
  2. Send the Black 12 cube.
  3. Send the Dark 12 cube.
  4. Send the Coral 9 cube.
  5. Send the Cyan 9 cube.
  6. Send the Coral 9 cube.
  7. Send the Dark 15 cube.
  8. Send the Black 7 cube.
  9. Send the Dark 15 cube.
  10. Send the Coral 22 cube.
  11. Send the Cyan 23 cube. Only ~19 of its 23 tiles are open at this point โ€” park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
  12. Send the Black 9 cube.
  13. Send the Black 20 cube. Only ~16 of its 20 tiles are open at this point โ€” park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
  14. 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.
