What You're Up Against

Level 85 paints Rainbow with 388 tiles across 5 colors, split into 13 cubes in the tray. You have 5 waiting slots and two nest holes.

  • Sand: 102 tiles → cubes of 37, 27, 19, 19
  • Indigo: 86 tiles → cubes of 52, 34
  • Jade: 74 tiles → cubes of 49, 25
  • Lime: 66 tiles → cubes of 34, 26, 6
  • Dark: 60 tiles → cubes of 41, 19

⚠️ 2 hidden “?” cubes in the tray.

Spoiler: what they hide

Dark 19, Dark 41

🔒 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.

  1. Send the Lime 26 cube.
  2. Send the Dark 19 cube.
  3. Send the Sand 19 cube.
  4. Send the Lime 6 cube.
  5. Send the Lime 34 cube. Only ~24 of its 34 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 Jade 25 cube.
  7. Send the Jade 49 cube. Only ~28 of its 49 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
  8. Send the Sand 37 cube.
  9. Send the Sand 19 cube.
  10. Send the Sand 27 cube. Only ~22 of its 27 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 Indigo 34 cube.
  12. Send the Indigo 52 cube. Only ~28 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.
  13. Send the Dark 41 cube. Only ~35 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.

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