What You're Up Against
Level 438 paints House with 276 tiles across 5 colors, split into 11 cubes in the tray. You have 5 waiting slots and two nest holes.
- White: 100 tiles → cubes of 42, 38, 20
- Indigo: 78 tiles → cubes of 48, 20, 10
- Teal: 60 tiles → cubes of 32, 20, 8
- Green: 20 tiles → cubes of 20
- Violet: 18 tiles → cubes of 18
⚠️ 1 hidden “?” cube in the tray.
Spoiler: what they hide
Teal 8
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 Teal 32 cube.
- Send the Indigo 20 cube.
- Send the Teal 20 cube.
- Send the White 20 cube.
- Send the Indigo 10 cube.
- Send the Teal 8 cube.
- Send the White 42 cube. Only ~19 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 Indigo 48 cube. Only ~16 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 White 38 cube. Only ~21 of its 38 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Violet 18 cube. Only ~16 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.
- Send the Green 20 cube. Only ~14 of its 20 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.
