What You're Up Against
Level 263 paints Shroom House with 173 tiles across 4 colors, split into 6 cubes in the tray. You have 5 waiting slots and two nest holes.
- Sand: 84 tiles → cubes of 43, 41
- Lime: 47 tiles → cubes of 38, 9
- Green: 24 tiles → cubes of 24
- Purple: 18 tiles → cubes of 18
⚠️ 1 hidden “?” cube in the tray.
Spoiler: what they hide
Green 24
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 Lime 9 cube.
- Send the Sand 41 cube. Only ~28 of its 41 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Sand 43 cube. Only ~17 of its 43 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 38 cube. Only ~21 of its 38 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Green 24 cube. Only ~16 of its 24 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 18 cube. Only ~14 of its 18 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.
