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.
- Send the Purple 51 cube.
- Send the Purple 49 cube.
- Send the Purple 48 cube.
- Send the Purple 44 cube.
- Send the Purple 34 cube.
- Send the Purple 24 cube.
- Send the Purple 23 cube.
- Send the Purple 3 cube.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
