What You're Up Against
Level 217 paints Cupcake with 120 tiles across 4 colors, split into 4 cubes in the tray. You have 5 waiting slots and two nest holes.
- Forest: 55 tiles → cubes of 55
- Jade: 38 tiles → cubes of 38
- Indigo: 15 tiles → cubes of 15
- Cream: 12 tiles → cubes of 12
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 Forest 55 cube. Only ~13 of its 55 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Indigo 15 cube.
- Send the Jade 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 Cream 12 cube. Only ~8 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.
