What You're Up Against
Level 492 paints Balloon with 109 tiles across 4 colors, split into 6 cubes in the tray. You have 5 waiting slots and two nest holes.
- Forest: 94 tiles → cubes of 40, 31, 23
- Sand: 8 tiles → cubes of 8
- Teal: 6 tiles → cubes of 6
- Red: 1 tiles → cubes of 1
⚠️ 1 hidden “?” cube in the tray.
Spoiler: what they hide
Teal 6
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 Forest 23 cube.
- Send the Teal 6 cube.
- Send the Red 1 cube.
- Send the Forest 31 cube. Only ~26 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 Forest 40 cube. Only ~18 of its 40 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 8 cube. Only ~7 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.
