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 Red 26 cube.
- Send the Yellow 13 cube.
- Send the Green 5 cube.
- Send the Red 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 Cyan 32 cube. Only ~30 of its 32 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Yellow 48 cube. Only ~24 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.
- Send the Cyan 42 cube. Only ~28 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 33 cube. Only ~24 of its 33 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Green 55 cube. Only ~24 of its 55 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 53 cube. Only ~39 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 Yellow 41 cube. Only ~28 of its 41 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.
