What You're Up Against
Level 49 paints Moon with 400 tiles across 4 colors, split into 16 cubes in the tray. You have 5 waiting slots and two nest holes.
- Magenta: 295 tiles → cubes of 40, 38, 36, 34, 31, 31, 28, 22, 21, 14
- Lime: 81 tiles → cubes of 32, 30, 16, 3
- Cyan: 12 tiles → cubes of 12
- Sand: 12 tiles → cubes of 12
⚠️ 2 hidden “?” cubes in the tray.
Spoiler: what they hide
Lime 3, Sand 12
🔒 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 Magenta 40 cube.
- Send the Magenta 38 cube.
- Send the Magenta 36 cube.
- Send the Magenta 34 cube.
- Send the Magenta 31 cube.
- Send the Magenta 31 cube.
- Send the Magenta 28 cube.
- Send the Magenta 22 cube.
- Send the Magenta 21 cube.
- Send the Lime 16 cube.
- Send the Lime 3 cube.
- Send the Lime 32 cube. Only ~24 of its 32 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Lime 30 cube. Only ~13 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 Cyan 12 cube.
- Send the Magenta 14 cube. Only ~13 of its 14 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Sand 12 cube. Only ~11 of its 12 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.
