What You're Up Against
Level 317 paints Penguin with 142 tiles across 4 colors, split into 5 cubes in the tray. You have 5 waiting slots and two nest holes.
- Sand: 82 tiles → cubes of 42, 40
- Lime: 48 tiles → cubes of 48
- Cream: 8 tiles → cubes of 8
- Violet: 4 tiles → cubes of 4
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 Cream 8 cube.
- Send the Sand 42 cube. Only ~38 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 Sand 40 cube. Only ~26 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.
- Send the Violet 4 cube.
- Send the Lime 48 cube. Only ~20 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.
Finish without boosters for 3 stars and bonus coins. If the board jams anyway, a Shuffle or Vacuum booster is the cheapest way out.
