What You're Up Against
Level 288 paints Owl with 140 tiles across 4 colors, split into 5 cubes in the tray. You have 5 waiting slots and two nest holes.
- Purple: 60 tiles → cubes of 53, 7
- Jade: 40 tiles → cubes of 40
- Violet: 38 tiles → cubes of 38
- Cream: 2 tiles → cubes of 2
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.
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 Purple 7 cube.
- Send the Purple 53 cube. Only ~25 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 Violet 38 cube. Only ~16 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.
- Send the Cream 2 cube.
- Send the Jade 40 cube. Only ~18 of its 40 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.
