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.

  1. Send the Magenta 35 cube.
  2. Send the Purple 21 cube.
  3. Send the Sand 21 cube.
  4. Send the Red 20 cube.
  5. Send the Magenta 15 cube.
  6. Send the Red 12 cube.
  7. Send the Lime 11 cube.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
