What You're Up Against
Level 18 paints Butterfly with 100 tiles across 4 colors, split into 7 cubes in the tray. You have 5 waiting slots and two nest holes.
- Orange: 42 tiles → cubes of 28, 10, 4
- Jade: 34 tiles → cubes of 27, 7
- Navy: 16 tiles → cubes of 16
- Aqua: 8 tiles → cubes of 8
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.
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 Orange 10 cube.
- Send the Jade 7 cube.
- Send the Orange 4 cube.
- Send the Orange 28 cube. Only ~16 of its 28 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 8 cube.
- Send the Jade 27 cube. Only ~17 of its 27 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Navy 16 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.
