What You're Up Against
Level 823 paints Sun with 484 tiles across 4 colors, split into 15 cubes in the tray. You have 5 waiting slots and two nest holes.
- Lime: 360 tiles → cubes of 51, 50, 41, 39, 32, 28, 26, 26, 25, 22, 20
- Sand: 70 tiles → cubes of 39, 31
- Orange: 48 tiles → cubes of 48
- Navy: 6 tiles → cubes of 6
⚠️ 2 hidden “?” cubes in the tray.
Spoiler: what they hide
Sand 31, Navy 6
🔒 1 locked cube — free the cube above them before they can be picked.
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 Lime 51 cube.
- Send the Lime 50 cube.
- Send the Lime 41 cube.
- Send the Lime 39 cube.
- Send the Lime 32 cube.
- Send the Lime 28 cube.
- Send the Lime 26 cube.
- Send the Lime 26 cube.
- Send the Lime 25 cube.
- Send the Lime 22 cube.
- Send the Orange 48 cube. Only ~46 of its 48 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Lime 20 cube.
- Send the Sand 31 cube. Only ~24 of its 31 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Sand 39 cube. Only ~19 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.
- Send the Navy 6 cube.
Finish without boosters for 3 stars and bonus coins. If the board jams anyway, a Shuffle or Vacuum booster is the cheapest way out.
