What You're Up Against
Level 496 paints Heart with 336 tiles across 3 colors, split into 10 cubes in the tray. You have 5 waiting slots and two nest holes.
- Yellow: 248 tiles → cubes of 49, 44, 44, 43, 38, 30
- Violet: 68 tiles → cubes of 42, 19, 7
- Indigo: 20 tiles → cubes of 20
⚠️ 1 hidden “?” cube in the tray.
Spoiler: what they hide
Violet 7
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 49 cube.
- Send the Yellow 44 cube.
- Send the Yellow 43 cube.
- Send the Yellow 30 cube.
- Send the Violet 19 cube.
- Send the Violet 7 cube.
- Send the Yellow 38 cube. Only ~31 of its 38 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Violet 42 cube. Only ~22 of its 42 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 44 cube. Only ~26 of its 44 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Indigo 20 cube. Only ~12 of its 20 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.
