What You're Up Against
Level 231 paints Star with 124 tiles across 3 colors, split into 4 cubes in the tray. You have 5 waiting slots and two nest holes.
- Brown: 74 tiles → cubes of 46, 28
- Lime: 34 tiles → cubes of 34
- Navy: 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 34 cube. Only ~32 of its 34 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Brown 28 cube.
- Send the Brown 46 cube. Only ~29 of its 46 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. Only ~12 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.
Finish without boosters for 3 stars and bonus coins. If the board jams anyway, a Shuffle or Vacuum booster is the cheapest way out.
