- Yellow: 78 tiles → cubes of 32, 25, 21
- Black: 75 tiles → cubes of 50, 19, 6
- Green: 75 tiles → cubes of 53, 22
- Red: 75 tiles → cubes of 45, 30
- Magenta: 39 tiles → cubes of 39
⚠️ 1 hidden “?” cube in the tray.
Spoiler: what they hide
Red 30
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 Yellow 32 cube.
- Send the Red 30 cube.
- Send the Yellow 25 cube.
- Send the Green 22 cube.
- Send the Black 19 cube.
- Send the Black 6 cube.
- Send the Black 50 cube. Only ~31 of its 50 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Green 53 cube. Only ~31 of its 53 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Red 45 cube. Only ~29 of its 45 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Yellow 21 cube. Only ~20 of its 21 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Magenta 39 cube. Only ~20 of its 39 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.
