🔒 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 Dark 52 cube.
- Send the Dark 48 cube.
- Send the Dark 45 cube.
- Send the Dark 43 cube.
- Send the Dark 37 cube.
- Send the Dark 31 cube.
- Send the Dark 27 cube.
- Send the Dark 25 cube.
- Send the Dark 25 cube.
- Send the Indigo 30 cube. Only ~27 of its 30 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 31 cube. Only ~28 of its 31 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 43 cube. Only ~20 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 Dark 22 cube. Only ~14 of its 22 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 12 cube.
- Send the Navy 13 cube. Only ~11 of its 13 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.
