What You're Up Against
Level 428 paints Shroom House with 173 tiles across 4 colors, split into 5 cubes in the tray. You have 5 waiting slots and two nest holes.
- Black: 84 tiles → cubes of 43, 41
- Lime: 47 tiles → cubes of 47
- Coral: 24 tiles → cubes of 24
- Pink: 18 tiles → cubes of 18
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 Black 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.
- Send the Black 43 cube. Only ~17 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 Lime 47 cube. Only ~21 of its 47 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Coral 24 cube. Only ~16 of its 24 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Pink 18 cube. Only ~14 of its 18 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.
