What You're Up Against
Level 406 paints Tree with 173 tiles across 4 colors, split into 8 cubes in the tray. You have 5 waiting slots and two nest holes.
- Cream: 115 tiles → cubes of 50, 33, 25, 7
- Green: 26 tiles → cubes of 21, 5
- Cyan: 22 tiles → cubes of 22
- White: 10 tiles → cubes of 10
⚠️ 1 hidden “?” cube in the tray.
Spoiler: what they hide
Green 5
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 33 cube.
- Send the Cream 25 cube.
- Send the Green 21 cube.
- Send the Cream 7 cube.
- Send the Green 5 cube.
- Send the Cream 50 cube. Only ~22 of its 50 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Cyan 22 cube. Only ~17 of its 22 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the White 10 cube. Only ~9 of its 10 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.
