What You're Up Against
Level 687 paints Robot with 182 tiles across 4 colors, split into 6 cubes in the tray. You have 5 waiting slots and two nest holes.
- Cyan: 72 tiles → cubes of 52, 20
- Green: 70 tiles → cubes of 46, 24
- Purple: 22 tiles → cubes of 22
- Cream: 18 tiles → cubes of 18
⚠️ 1 hidden “?” cube in the tray.
Spoiler: what they hide
Cyan 20
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 Cyan 20 cube.
- Send the Cyan 52 cube. Only ~27 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 Green 24 cube.
- Send the Green 46 cube. Only ~22 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 Purple 22 cube. Only ~14 of its 22 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Cream 18 cube. Only ~16 of its 18 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.
