What You're Up Against
Level 457 paints Umbrella with 140 tiles across 4 colors, split into 5 cubes in the tray. You have 5 waiting slots and two nest holes.
- Magenta: 71 tiles → cubes of 55, 16
- Blue: 47 tiles → cubes of 47
- Indigo: 14 tiles → cubes of 14
- Cream: 8 tiles → cubes of 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.
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 Magenta 16 cube.
- Send the Magenta 55 cube. Only ~24 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 Blue 47 cube.
- Send the Indigo 14 cube.
- Send the Cream 8 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.
