What You're Up Against
Level 551 paints Puzzle with 342 tiles across 5 colors, split into 11 cubes in the tray. You have 5 waiting slots and two nest holes.
- Cream: 78 tiles → cubes of 54, 24
- Red: 75 tiles → cubes of 30, 23, 22
- Green: 75 tiles → cubes of 42, 33
- Pink: 75 tiles → cubes of 46, 29
- Brown: 39 tiles → cubes of 21, 18
⚠️ 1 hidden “?” cube in the tray.
Spoiler: what they hide
Pink 29
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 33 cube.
- Send the Red 30 cube.
- Send the Pink 29 cube.
- Send the Cream 24 cube.
- Send the Red 23 cube.
- Send the Red 22 cube.
- Send the Brown 18 cube.
- Send the Cream 54 cube. Only ~31 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 Pink 46 cube. Only ~29 of its 46 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 42 cube. Only ~28 of its 42 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 21 cube. Only ~13 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.
Finish without boosters for 3 stars and bonus coins. If the board jams anyway, a Shuffle or Vacuum booster is the cheapest way out.
