What You're Up Against
Level 531 paints Citrus with 325 tiles across 5 colors, split into 14 cubes in the tray. You have 5 waiting slots and two nest holes.
- Green: 136 tiles → cubes of 35, 28, 28, 22, 19, 4
- Forest: 84 tiles → cubes of 52, 32
- Pink: 80 tiles → cubes of 37, 19, 19, 5
- Brown: 20 tiles → cubes of 20
- Coral: 5 tiles → cubes of 5
⚠️ 2 hidden “?” cubes in the tray.
Spoiler: what they hide
Coral 5, Brown 20
🔒 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 Forest 52 cube.
- Send the Pink 19 cube.
- Send the Pink 37 cube.
- Send the Green 22 cube.
- Send the Green 28 cube.
- Send the Green 19 cube.
- Send the Pink 19 cube.
- Send the Green 28 cube.
- Send the Green 4 cube.
- Send the Forest 32 cube. Only ~31 of its 32 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Pink 5 cube.
- Send the Green 35 cube. Only ~20 of its 35 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Brown 20 cube. Only ~16 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 Coral 5 cube. Only ~4 of its 5 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.
