What You're Up Against
Level 860 paints Apple with 196 tiles across 4 colors, split into 7 cubes in the tray. You have 5 waiting slots and two nest holes.
- Lime: 116 tiles → cubes of 53, 49, 14
- Navy: 55 tiles → cubes of 51, 4
- Green: 16 tiles → cubes of 16
- Dark: 9 tiles → cubes of 9
⚠️ 1 hidden “?” cube in the tray.
Spoiler: what they hide
Dark 9
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 Navy 4 cube.
- Send the Navy 51 cube. Only ~38 of its 51 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 14 cube.
- Send the Lime 49 cube. Only ~30 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.
- Send the Lime 53 cube. Only ~21 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 Green 16 cube. Only ~10 of its 16 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Dark 9 cube. Only ~8 of its 9 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.
