What You're Up Against

Level 279 paints Gift with 236 tiles across 4 colors, split into 6 cubes in the tray. You have 5 waiting slots and two nest holes.

  • Jade: 130 tiles → cubes of 55, 38, 37
  • Navy: 42 tiles → cubes of 42
  • White: 38 tiles → cubes of 38
  • Purple: 26 tiles → cubes of 26

⚠️ 1 hidden “?” cube in the tray.

Spoiler: what they hide

Jade 55

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 Jade 38 cube. Only ~31 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.
  2. Send the Jade 55 cube. Only ~27 of its 55 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
  3. Send the Navy 42 cube. Only ~24 of its 42 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 Jade 37 cube. Only ~20 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.
  5. Send the White 38 cube. Only ~25 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.
  6. Send the Purple 26 cube. Only ~18 of its 26 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.
