What You're Up Against
Level 897 paints Rocket with 141 tiles across 5 colors, split into 5 cubes in the tray. You have 5 waiting slots and two nest holes.
- Brown: 52 tiles → cubes of 52
- Navy: 34 tiles → cubes of 34
- Black: 28 tiles → cubes of 28
- Coral: 18 tiles → cubes of 18
- Lime: 9 tiles → cubes of 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.
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 Brown 52 cube. Only ~16 of its 52 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Navy 34 cube. Only ~22 of its 34 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Black 28 cube. Only ~14 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 Coral 18 cube. Only ~10 of its 18 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 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.
