What You're Up Against
Level 987 paints Balloon with 109 tiles across 4 colors, split into 5 cubes in the tray. You have 5 waiting slots and two nest holes.
- Forest: 94 tiles → cubes of 51, 43
- Yellow: 8 tiles → cubes of 8
- Pink: 6 tiles → cubes of 6
- Navy: 1 tiles → cubes of 1
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 Pink 6 cube.
- Send the Navy 1 cube.
- Send the Forest 51 cube. Only ~30 of its 51 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 43 cube. Only ~20 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 Yellow 8 cube. Only ~7 of its 8 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.
