What You're Up Against
Level 86 paints Penguin with 142 tiles across 4 colors, split into 6 cubes in the tray. You have 5 waiting slots and two nest holes.
- Jade: 82 tiles → cubes of 50, 32
- Blue: 48 tiles → cubes of 31, 17
- White: 8 tiles → cubes of 8
- Green: 4 tiles → cubes of 4
⚠️ 1 hidden “?” cube in the tray.
Spoiler: what they hide
White 8
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 Jade 32 cube.
- Send the White 8 cube.
- Send the Jade 50 cube. Only ~34 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 Blue 17 cube.
- Send the Green 4 cube.
- Send the Blue 31 cube. Only ~18 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.
Finish without boosters for 3 stars and bonus coins. If the board jams anyway, a Shuffle or Vacuum booster is the cheapest way out.
