What You're Up Against

Level 5 paints Citrus with 248 tiles across 8 colors, split into 18 cubes in the tray. You have 5 waiting slots and one nest hole.

  • Cyan: 66 tiles → cubes of 20, 20, 17, 9
  • Orange: 52 tiles → cubes of 21, 17, 14
  • Black: 46 tiles → cubes of 24, 16, 6
  • Navy: 42 tiles → cubes of 18, 16, 8
  • Yellow: 22 tiles → cubes of 16, 6
  • Magenta: 12 tiles → cubes of 12
  • Pink: 6 tiles → cubes of 6
  • Lime: 2 tiles → cubes of 2

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.

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.

  1. Send the Black 24 cube.
  2. Send the Navy 18 cube.
  3. Send the Cyan 17 cube.
  4. Send the Black 16 cube.
  5. Send the Navy 16 cube.
  6. Send the Cyan 20 cube.
  7. Send the Cyan 9 cube.
  8. Send the Orange 17 cube.
  9. Send the Orange 14 cube.
  10. Send the Yellow 6 cube.
  11. Send the Black 6 cube.
  12. Send the Navy 8 cube.
  13. Send the Cyan 20 cube. Only ~17 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.
  14. Send the Orange 21 cube. Only ~14 of its 21 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
  15. Send the Yellow 16 cube. Only ~14 of its 16 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
  16. Send the Magenta 12 cube.
  17. Send the Pink 6 cube.
  18. Send the Lime 2 cube.

Finish without boosters for 3 stars and bonus coins. If the board jams anyway, a Shuffle or Vacuum booster is the cheapest way out.
