What You're Up Against
Level 870 paints Swan with 484 tiles across 5 colors, split into 15 cubes in the tray. You have 5 waiting slots and two nest holes.
- Cream: 231 tiles → cubes of 51, 49, 39, 38, 27, 27
- Indigo: 147 tiles → cubes of 48, 36, 31, 29, 3
- Aqua: 87 tiles → cubes of 53, 34
- Orange: 14 tiles → cubes of 14
- Purple: 5 tiles → cubes of 5
⚠️ 2 hidden “?” cubes in the tray.
Spoiler: what they hide
Indigo 36, Indigo 3
🔒 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 Indigo 31 cube.
- Send the Indigo 29 cube.
- Send the Cream 27 cube.
- Send the Indigo 3 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.
