What You're Up Against
Level 509 paints Ice Cream with 132 tiles across 4 colors, split into 4 cubes in the tray. You have 5 waiting slots and two nest holes.
- Purple: 54 tiles → cubes of 54
- Indigo: 52 tiles → cubes of 52
- Magenta: 20 tiles → cubes of 20
- Aqua: 6 tiles → cubes of 6
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 Purple 54 cube. Only ~19 of its 54 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 52 cube. Only ~15 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 Magenta 20 cube. Only ~18 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 Aqua 6 cube. Only ~5 of its 6 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.
