What You're Up Against
Level 22 paints Boat with 148 tiles across 4 colors, split into 8 cubes in the tray. You have 5 waiting slots and two nest holes.
- Lime: 62 tiles → cubes of 27, 23, 12
- Forest: 53 tiles → cubes of 28, 14, 11
- Coral: 17 tiles → cubes of 17
- Jade: 16 tiles → cubes of 16
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 Lime 27 cube.
- Send the Lime 12 cube.
- Send the Forest 11 cube.
- Send the Lime 23 cube. Only ~18 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 Forest 14 cube.
- Send the Forest 28 cube. Only ~19 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 Jade 16 cube. Only ~10 of its 16 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Coral 17 cube. Only ~13 of its 17 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.
