What You're Up Against
Level 249 paints Butterfly with 194 tiles across 4 colors, split into 7 cubes in the tray. You have 5 waiting slots and two nest holes.
- Yellow: 90 tiles → cubes of 34, 31, 25
- Orange: 72 tiles → cubes of 45, 27
- Red: 22 tiles → cubes of 22
- Jade: 10 tiles → cubes of 10
⚠️ 1 hidden “?” cube in the tray.
Spoiler: what they hide
Orange 45
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 25 cube.
- Send the Yellow 31 cube. Only ~24 of its 31 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Orange 27 cube. Only ~21 of its 27 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Orange 45 cube. Only ~20 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 34 cube. Only ~21 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 Red 22 cube.
- Send the Jade 10 cube.
Finish without boosters for 3 stars and bonus coins. If the board jams anyway, a Shuffle or Vacuum booster is the cheapest way out.
