What You're Up Against
Level 617 paints Cactus with 106 tiles across 4 colors, split into 6 cubes in the tray. You have 5 waiting slots and two nest holes.
- Cream: 56 tiles → cubes of 42, 14
- Magenta: 24 tiles → cubes of 21, 3
- Jade: 18 tiles → cubes of 18
- Pink: 8 tiles → cubes of 8
⚠️ 1 hidden “?” cube in the tray.
Spoiler: what they hide
Magenta 3
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 Cream 14 cube.
- Send the Magenta 3 cube.
- Send the Cream 42 cube. Only ~25 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 Magenta 21 cube. Only ~12 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 Jade 18 cube.
- Send the Pink 8 cube. Only ~6 of its 8 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.
