- Lime: 38 tiles → cubes of 19, 19
- Purple: 15 tiles → cubes of 15
- Sand: 12 tiles → cubes of 12
⚠️ 1 hidden “?” cube in the tray.
Spoiler: what they hide
Purple 15
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 Dark 11 cube.
- Send the Dark 23 cube. Only ~12 of its 23 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Lime 19 cube. Only ~16 of its 19 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Purple 15 cube. Only ~13 of its 15 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Dark 21 cube. Only ~14 of its 21 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Lime 19 cube. Only ~15 of its 19 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Sand 12 cube. Only ~8 of its 12 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.
