- Aqua: 72 tiles → cubes of 36, 36
- Black: 22 tiles → cubes of 19, 3
- Blue: 10 tiles → cubes of 10
⚠️ 1 hidden “?” cube in the tray.
Spoiler: what they hide
Aqua 36
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 Black 3 cube.
- Send the White 41 cube. Only ~26 of its 41 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 36 cube. Only ~20 of its 36 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the White 49 cube. Only ~19 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 Blue 10 cube.
- Send the Aqua 36 cube. Only ~26 of its 36 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 19 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.
