What You're Up Against
Level 494 paints Puzzle with 342 tiles across 5 colors, split into 9 cubes in the tray. You have 5 waiting slots and two nest holes.
- Forest: 78 tiles → cubes of 55, 23
- Teal: 75 tiles → cubes of 52, 23
- Yellow: 75 tiles → cubes of 45, 30
- White: 75 tiles → cubes of 51, 24
- Blue: 39 tiles → cubes of 39
⚠️ 1 hidden “?” cube in the tray.
Spoiler: what they hide
White 24
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 Yellow 30 cube.
- Send the White 24 cube.
- Send the Teal 23 cube.
- Send the Forest 23 cube.
- Send the White 51 cube. Only ~29 of its 51 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 55 cube. Only ~31 of its 55 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Teal 52 cube. Only ~31 of its 52 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Yellow 45 cube. Only ~30 of its 45 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Blue 39 cube. Only ~20 of its 39 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.
