What You're Up Against
Level 456 paints Puzzle with 342 tiles across 5 colors, split into 12 cubes in the tray. You have 5 waiting slots and two nest holes.
- Purple: 78 tiles → cubes of 33, 19, 19, 7
- Sand: 75 tiles → cubes of 46, 29
- Red: 75 tiles → cubes of 49, 26
- Cyan: 75 tiles → cubes of 40, 35
- Aqua: 39 tiles → cubes of 26, 13
⚠️ 2 hidden “?” cubes in the tray.
Spoiler: what they hide
Cyan 35, Cyan 40
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 35 cube.
- Send the Purple 33 cube.
- Send the Sand 29 cube.
- Send the Red 26 cube.
- Send the Purple 19 cube.
- Send the Purple 19 cube.
- Send the Aqua 13 cube.
- Send the Purple 7 cube.
- Send the Sand 46 cube. Only ~29 of its 46 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Red 49 cube. Only ~29 of its 49 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 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 Aqua 26 cube. Only ~16 of its 26 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.
