What You're Up Against
Level 401 paints Flower with 124 tiles across 4 colors, split into 5 cubes in the tray. You have 5 waiting slots and two nest holes.
- Purple: 69 tiles → cubes of 43, 26
- Red: 21 tiles → cubes of 21
- Yellow: 20 tiles → cubes of 20
- Cream: 14 tiles → cubes of 14
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 26 cube.
- Send the Purple 43 cube. Only ~24 of its 43 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 14 cube.
- Send the Yellow 20 cube.
- Send the Red 21 cube. Only ~12 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.
Finish without boosters for 3 stars and bonus coins. If the board jams anyway, a Shuffle or Vacuum booster is the cheapest way out.
