What You're Up Against
Level 485 paints Cactus with 106 tiles across 4 colors, split into 5 cubes in the tray. You have 5 waiting slots and two nest holes.
- Red: 56 tiles → cubes of 35, 21
- Orange: 24 tiles → cubes of 24
- Forest: 18 tiles → cubes of 18
- Lime: 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 Red 21 cube.
- Send the Red 35 cube. Only ~20 of its 35 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Orange 24 cube. Only ~12 of its 24 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Forest 18 cube.
- Send the Lime 8 cube. Only ~6 of its 8 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.
