What You're Up Against
Level 817 paints Puzzle with 342 tiles across 5 colors, split into 11 cubes in the tray. You have 5 waiting slots and two nest holes.
- Lime: 78 tiles → cubes of 53, 22, 3
- Pink: 75 tiles → cubes of 50, 25
- Violet: 75 tiles → cubes of 36, 35, 4
- Indigo: 75 tiles → cubes of 41, 34
- Purple: 39 tiles → cubes of 39
⚠️ 1 hidden “?” cube in the tray.
Spoiler: what they hide
Indigo 41
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 Violet 36 cube.
- Send the Indigo 34 cube.
- Send the Pink 25 cube.
- Send the Lime 22 cube.
- Send the Violet 4 cube.
- Send the Lime 3 cube.
- Send the Lime 53 cube. Only ~29 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 Pink 50 cube. Only ~31 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.
- Send the Indigo 41 cube. Only ~27 of its 41 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Violet 35 cube. Only ~25 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.
- Send the Purple 39 cube. Only ~20 of its 39 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.
