- Cyan: 38 tiles → cubes of 35, 3
- Aqua: 26 tiles → cubes of 26
⚠️ 1 hidden “?” cube in the tray.
Spoiler: what they hide
Magenta 40
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 Magenta 20 cube.
- Send the Magenta 20 cube.
- Send the Cyan 3 cube.
- Send the Magenta 40 cube. Only ~28 of its 40 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Pink 42 cube. Only ~22 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 Magenta 50 cube. Only ~25 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 Cyan 35 cube. Only ~23 of its 35 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Aqua 26 cube. Only ~18 of its 26 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.
