What You're Up Against
Level 417 paints Crown with 190 tiles across 4 colors, split into 7 cubes in the tray. You have 5 waiting slots and two nest holes.
- Forest: 99 tiles → cubes of 41, 31, 27
- Lime: 80 tiles → cubes of 55, 25
- Cream: 6 tiles → cubes of 6
- Brown: 5 tiles → cubes of 5
⚠️ 1 hidden “?” cube in the tray.
Spoiler: what they hide
Lime 25
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 Forest 41 cube.
- Send the Forest 31 cube.
- Send the Lime 25 cube.
- Send the Brown 5 cube.
- Send the Lime 55 cube. Only ~27 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 Forest 27 cube. Only ~25 of its 27 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 6 cube.
Finish without boosters for 3 stars and bonus coins. If the board jams anyway, a Shuffle or Vacuum booster is the cheapest way out.
