What You're Up Against

Level 262 paints Sun with 484 tiles across 4 colors, split into 14 cubes in the tray. You have 5 waiting slots and two nest holes.

  • Purple: 360 tiles → cubes of 51, 49, 48, 47, 44, 37, 34, 24, 23, 3
  • Black: 70 tiles → cubes of 40, 30
  • Violet: 48 tiles → cubes of 48
  • Cyan: 6 tiles → cubes of 6

⚠️ 2 hidden “?” cubes in the tray.

Spoiler: what they hide

Black 30, Cyan 6

🔒 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.

  1. Send the Purple 51 cube.
  2. Send the Purple 49 cube.
  3. Send the Purple 48 cube.
  4. Send the Purple 44 cube.
  5. Send the Purple 34 cube.
  6. Send the Purple 24 cube.
  7. Send the Purple 23 cube.
  8. Send the Purple 3 cube.
  9. Send the Violet 48 cube. Only ~35 of its 48 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
  10. Send the Purple 47 cube. Only ~35 of its 47 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
  11. Send the Purple 37 cube. Only ~31 of its 37 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
  12. Send the Black 40 cube. Only ~24 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.
  13. Send the Black 30 cube. Only ~14 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.
  14. Send the Cyan 6 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.
