What You're Up Against
Level 273 paints House with 276 tiles across 5 colors, split into 10 cubes in the tray. You have 5 waiting slots and two nest holes.
- Teal: 100 tiles → cubes of 46, 33, 21
- Aqua: 78 tiles → cubes of 34, 24, 20
- Blue: 60 tiles → cubes of 39, 21
- Cream: 20 tiles → cubes of 20
- Brown: 18 tiles → cubes of 18
⚠️ 1 hidden “?” cube in the tray.
Spoiler: what they hide
Blue 39
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 Aqua 24 cube.
- Send the Blue 21 cube.
- Send the Teal 21 cube.
- Send the Aqua 20 cube.
- Send the Blue 39 cube. Only ~33 of its 39 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Teal 33 cube. Only ~18 of its 33 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Teal 46 cube. Only ~13 of its 46 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Aqua 34 cube. Only ~20 of its 34 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Brown 18 cube. Only ~16 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.
- Send the Cream 20 cube. Only ~14 of its 20 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.
