What You're Up Against
Level 696 paints Citrus with 325 tiles across 5 colors, split into 10 cubes in the tray. You have 5 waiting slots and two nest holes.
- Jade: 136 tiles → cubes of 53, 44, 34, 5
- Dark: 84 tiles → cubes of 52, 32
- Aqua: 80 tiles → cubes of 54, 26
- Coral: 20 tiles → cubes of 20
- Green: 5 tiles → cubes of 5
⚠️ 1 hidden “?” cube in the tray.
Spoiler: what they hide
Green 5
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 Dark 52 cube.
- Send the Dark 32 cube. Only ~30 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 Aqua 26 cube.
- Send the Jade 5 cube.
- Send the Aqua 54 cube. Only ~38 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 Jade 34 cube.
- Send the Jade 44 cube. Only ~33 of its 44 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 53 cube. Only ~26 of its 53 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 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 Green 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.
