What You're Up Against
Level 282 paints Butterfly with 194 tiles across 4 colors, split into 7 cubes in the tray. You have 5 waiting slots and two nest holes.
- Pink: 90 tiles → cubes of 48, 42
- Magenta: 72 tiles → cubes of 53, 19
- Aqua: 22 tiles → cubes of 19, 3
- Teal: 10 tiles → cubes of 10
⚠️ 1 hidden “?” cube in the tray.
Spoiler: what they hide
Magenta 19
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 Magenta 19 cube.
- Send the Aqua 3 cube.
- Send the Pink 42 cube. Only ~28 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.
- Send the Magenta 53 cube. Only ~21 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.
- Send the Pink 48 cube. Only ~29 of its 48 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 19 cube.
- Send the Teal 10 cube.
Finish without boosters for 3 stars and bonus coins. If the board jams anyway, a Shuffle or Vacuum booster is the cheapest way out.
