What You're Up Against
Level 276 paints Swan with 484 tiles across 5 colors, split into 15 cubes in the tray. You have 5 waiting slots and two nest holes.
- Lime: 231 tiles → cubes of 49, 42, 41, 31, 29, 20, 19
- Sand: 147 tiles → cubes of 54, 43, 30, 20
- Cyan: 87 tiles → cubes of 47, 40
- Pink: 14 tiles → cubes of 14
- Indigo: 5 tiles → cubes of 5
⚠️ 2 hidden “?” cubes in the tray.
Spoiler: what they hide
Sand 20, Sand 54
🔒 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.
