⚠️ 2 hidden “?” cubes in the tray.
Spoiler: what they hide
Lime 20, Lime 40
🔒 1 locked cube — free the cube above them before they can be picked.
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 Cyan 27 cube.
- Send the Lime 20 cube.
- Send the Yellow 20 cube.
- Send the Cyan 39 cube. Only ~25 of its 39 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Brown 21 cube.
- Send the Brown 53 cube. Only ~29 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 22 cube.
- Send the Yellow 16 cube.
- Send the Yellow 44 cube. Only ~34 of its 44 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Jade 24 cube.
- Send the Jade 12 cube.
- Send the Jade 50 cube. Only ~32 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 Lime 40 cube. Only ~34 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.
Finish without boosters for 3 stars and bonus coins. If the board jams anyway, a Shuffle or Vacuum booster is the cheapest way out.
