What You're Up Against
Level 486 paints Owl with 140 tiles across 4 colors, split into 7 cubes in the tray. You have 5 waiting slots and two nest holes.
- Brown: 60 tiles → cubes of 53, 7

- Cream: 38 tiles → cubes of 27, 11
- Green: 2 tiles → cubes of 2
⚠️ 1 hidden “?” cube in the tray.
Spoiler: what they hide
Green 2
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 Brown 7 cube.
- Send the Cream 11 cube.
- Send the Brown 53 cube. Only ~26 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 Purple 19 cube. Only ~14 of its 19 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Cream 27 cube. Only ~16 of its 27 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Green 2 cube.
- Send the Purple 21 cube. Only ~15 of its 21 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.
