What You're Up Against
Level 236 paints Flower with 124 tiles across 4 colors, split into 5 cubes in the tray. You have 5 waiting slots and two nest holes.
- Red: 69 tiles → cubes of 42, 27
- Green: 21 tiles → cubes of 21
- Orange: 20 tiles → cubes of 20
- Cream: 14 tiles → cubes of 14
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 Red 27 cube.
- Send the Red 42 cube. Only ~23 of its 42 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 14 cube.
- Send the Orange 20 cube.
- Send the Green 21 cube. Only ~12 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.
Finish without boosters for 3 stars and bonus coins. If the board jams anyway, a Shuffle or Vacuum booster is the cheapest way out.
