What You're Up Against

Level 816 paints Rainbow with 388 tiles across 5 colors, split into 12 cubes in the tray. You have 5 waiting slots and two nest holes.

  • Violet: 102 tiles → cubes of 43, 35, 24
  • Sand: 86 tiles → cubes of 50, 26, 10
  • Brown: 74 tiles → cubes of 42, 32
  • Teal: 66 tiles → cubes of 46, 20
  • Aqua: 60 tiles → cubes of 30, 30

⚠️ 2 hidden “?” cubes in the tray.

Spoiler: what they hide

Aqua 30, Aqua 30

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.

  1. Send the Teal 20 cube.
  2. Send the Teal 46 cube. Only ~28 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.
  3. Send the Brown 42 cube. Only ~30 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.
  4. Send the Violet 24 cube.
  5. Send the Violet 43 cube. Only ~24 of its 43 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
  6. Send the Sand 10 cube.
  7. Send the Sand 26 cube.
  8. Send the Sand 50 cube. Only ~28 of its 50 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
  9. Send the Aqua 30 cube.
  10. Send the Aqua 30 cube. Only ~28 of its 30 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
  11. Send the Brown 32 cube. Only ~24 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.
  12. Send the Violet 35 cube. Only ~26 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.

Finish without boosters for 3 stars and bonus coins. If the board jams anyway, a Shuffle or Vacuum booster is the cheapest way out.
