What You're Up Against
Level 256 paints Pizza with 248 tiles across 4 colors, split into 9 cubes in the tray. You have 5 waiting slots and two nest holes.
- Dark: 130 tiles → cubes of 53, 40, 29, 8
- Indigo: 92 tiles → cubes of 42, 34, 16
- Lime: 23 tiles → cubes of 23
- Orange: 3 tiles → cubes of 3
⚠️ 1 hidden “?” cube in the tray.
Spoiler: what they hide
Lime 23
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 Indigo 42 cube.
- Send the Indigo 34 cube.
- Send the Dark 29 cube.
- Send the Dark 8 cube.
- Send the Dark 53 cube. Only ~30 of its 53 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 3 cube.
- Send the Dark 40 cube. Only ~21 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 Indigo 16 cube.
- Send the Lime 23 cube. Only ~20 of its 23 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.
