What You're Up Against
Level 516 paints Crown with 190 tiles across 4 colors, split into 9 cubes in the tray. You have 5 waiting slots and two nest holes.
- Green: 99 tiles → cubes of 35, 27, 20, 17
- Magenta: 80 tiles → cubes of 31, 30, 19
- Yellow: 6 tiles → cubes of 6
- Red: 5 tiles → cubes of 5
⚠️ 1 hidden “?” cube in the tray.
Spoiler: what they hide
Magenta 19
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 Green 35 cube.
- Send the Green 27 cube.
- Send the Green 20 cube.
- Send the Magenta 19 cube.
- Send the Red 5 cube.
- Send the Magenta 30 cube. Only ~29 of its 30 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 31 cube. Only ~22 of its 31 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Green 17 cube.
- Send the Yellow 6 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.
