🔒 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 Sand 9 cube.
- Send the Purple 7 cube.
- Send the Sand 48 cube. Only ~22 of its 48 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 29 cube. Only ~18 of its 29 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the White 6 cube.
- Send the Dark 38 cube. Only ~14 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 Jade 16 cube.
- Send the Jade 38 cube. Only ~29 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.
