- Dark: 54 tiles → cubes of 23, 15, 9, 7
- Yellow: 52 tiles → cubes of 27, 18, 7
- Cream: 52 tiles → cubes of 30, 12, 10

⚠️ 1 hidden “?” cube in the tray.
Spoiler: what they hide
Indigo 12
🔒 1 locked cube — free the cube above them before they can be picked.
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 Cream 30 cube.
- Send the Yellow 27 cube.
- Send the Dark 23 cube.
- Send the Indigo 22 cube.
- Send the Yellow 18 cube.
- Send the Indigo 18 cube.
- Send the Dark 15 cube.
- Send the Navy 15 cube.
- Send the Cream 12 cube.
- Send the Cream 10 cube.
- Send the Dark 9 cube.
- Send the Dark 7 cube.
- Send the Yellow 7 cube.
- Send the Indigo 12 cube. Only ~11 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.
- Send the Navy 12 cube. Only ~10 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.
