- Cyan: 66 tiles → cubes of 20, 20, 17, 9

- 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.
- Send the Black 24 cube.
- Send the Navy 18 cube.
- Send the Cyan 17 cube.
- Send the Black 16 cube.
- Send the Navy 16 cube.
- Send the Cyan 20 cube.
- Send the Cyan 9 cube.
- Send the Orange 17 cube.
- Send the Orange 14 cube.
- Send the Yellow 6 cube.
- Send the Black 6 cube.
- Send the Navy 8 cube.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Send the Magenta 12 cube.
- Send the Pink 6 cube.
- 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.
