What You're Up Against

Level 272 paints Rainbow with 388 tiles across 5 colors, split into 11 cubes in the tray. You have 5 waiting slots and two nest holes.

  • Red: 102 tiles → cubes of 53, 49
  • Purple: 86 tiles → cubes of 43, 43
  • White: 74 tiles → cubes of 50, 24
  • Indigo: 66 tiles → cubes of 53, 13
  • Navy: 60 tiles → cubes of 29, 27, 4

⚠️ 1 hidden “?” cube in the tray.

Spoiler: what they hide

Navy 4

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 Indigo 13 cube.
  2. Send the Navy 4 cube.
  3. Send the Indigo 53 cube. Only ~28 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.
  4. Send the White 24 cube.
  5. Send the White 50 cube. Only ~28 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.
  6. Send the Red 49 cube. Only ~42 of its 49 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
  7. Send the Red 53 cube. Only ~34 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.
  8. Send the Purple 43 cube. Only ~34 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.
  9. Send the Purple 43 cube. Only ~28 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.
  10. Send the Navy 29 cube.
  11. Send the Navy 27 cube. Only ~25 of its 27 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.
