What You're Up Against

Level 283 paints Cupcake with 120 tiles across 4 colors, split into 7 cubes in the tray. You have 5 waiting slots and two nest holes.

  • Dark: 55 tiles โ†’ cubes of 23, 21, 11
  • Lime: 38 tiles โ†’ cubes of 19, 19
  • Purple: 15 tiles โ†’ cubes of 15
  • Sand: 12 tiles โ†’ cubes of 12

โš ๏ธ 1 hidden โ€œ?โ€ 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 โ€œ?โ€ 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 Dark 11 cube.
  2. Send the Dark 23 cube. Only ~12 of its 23 tiles are open at this point โ€” park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
  3. Send the Lime 19 cube. Only ~16 of its 19 tiles are open at this point โ€” park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
  4. Send the Purple 15 cube. Only ~13 of its 15 tiles are open at this point โ€” park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
  5. Send the Dark 21 cube. Only ~14 of its 21 tiles are open at this point โ€” park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
  6. Send the Lime 19 cube. Only ~15 of its 19 tiles are open at this point โ€” park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
  7. Send the Sand 12 cube. Only ~8 of its 12 tiles are open at this point โ€” 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.
