What You're Up Against
Level 97 paints Sun with 484 tiles across 4 colors, split into 14 cubes in the tray. You have 5 waiting slots and two nest holes.
- White: 360 tiles → cubes of 53, 46, 43, 38, 35, 34, 31, 28, 26, 26
- Violet: 70 tiles → cubes of 43, 27
- Navy: 48 tiles → cubes of 48
- Lime: 6 tiles → cubes of 6
⚠️ 2 hidden “?” cubes in the tray.
Spoiler: what they hide
Lime 6, Violet 27
🔒 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 White 53 cube.
- Send the White 46 cube.
- Send the White 43 cube.
- Send the White 38 cube.
- Send the White 35 cube.
- Send the White 34 cube.
- Send the White 31 cube.
- Send the White 28 cube.
- Send the Navy 48 cube. Only ~44 of its 48 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the White 26 cube.
- Send the Violet 27 cube. Only ~20 of its 27 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Violet 43 cube. Only ~19 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 Lime 6 cube.
- Send the White 26 cube. Only ~20 of its 26 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.
