What You're Up Against
Level 255 paints Rainbow with 388 tiles across 5 colors, split into 15 cubes in the tray. You have 5 waiting slots and two nest holes.
- Aqua: 102 tiles → cubes of 30, 29, 26, 17
- Violet: 86 tiles → cubes of 55, 21, 10
- Lime: 74 tiles → cubes of 50, 20, 4
- Cyan: 66 tiles → cubes of 30, 28, 8
- Green: 60 tiles → cubes of 50, 10
⚠️ 2 hidden “?” cubes in the tray.
Spoiler: what they hide
Green 50, Green 10
🔒 1 locked cube — free the cube above them before they can be picked.
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 Cyan 28 cube.
- Send the Aqua 17 cube.
- Send the Green 10 cube.
- Send the Cyan 8 cube.
- Send the Lime 4 cube.
- Send the Green 50 cube. Only ~22 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 Violet 21 cube.
- Send the Violet 10 cube.
- Send the Violet 55 cube. Only ~34 of its 55 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 30 cube.
- Send the Aqua 26 cube.
- Send the Cyan 30 cube. Only ~21 of its 30 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Lime 20 cube.
- Send the Lime 50 cube. Only ~30 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 Aqua 29 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.
