What You're Up Against
Level 972 paints Gift with 236 tiles across 4 colors, split into 8 cubes in the tray. You have 5 waiting slots and two nest holes.
- Brown: 130 tiles → cubes of 46, 30, 28, 26
- Forest: 42 tiles → cubes of 34, 8
- Black: 38 tiles → cubes of 38
- Teal: 26 tiles → cubes of 26
⚠️ 1 hidden “?” cube in the tray.
Spoiler: what they hide
Brown 46
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 Brown 30 cube.
- Send the Brown 28 cube.
- Send the Forest 8 cube.
- Send the Brown 26 cube. Only ~23 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.
- Send the Forest 34 cube. Only ~23 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 Brown 46 cube. Only ~22 of its 46 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 38 cube. Only ~25 of its 38 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Teal 26 cube. Only ~18 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.
