What You're Up Against
Level 874 paints Puzzle with 342 tiles across 5 colors, split into 12 cubes in the tray. You have 5 waiting slots and two nest holes.
- Magenta: 78 tiles → cubes of 35, 28, 15
- Sand: 75 tiles → cubes of 54, 21
- Red: 75 tiles → cubes of 43, 20, 12
- Purple: 75 tiles → cubes of 54, 21
- Lime: 39 tiles → cubes of 28, 11
⚠️ 2 hidden “?” cubes in the tray.
Spoiler: what they hide
Purple 54, Purple 21
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 Magenta 35 cube.
- Send the Purple 21 cube.
- Send the Sand 21 cube.
- Send the Red 20 cube.
- Send the Magenta 15 cube.
- Send the Red 12 cube.
- Send the Lime 11 cube.
- Send the Sand 54 cube. Only ~31 of its 54 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Purple 54 cube. Only ~30 of its 54 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Red 43 cube. Only ~23 of its 43 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Magenta 28 cube. Only ~20 of its 28 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 28 cube. Only ~17 of its 28 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.
