What You're Up Against
Level 998 paints Mushroom with 170 tiles across 4 colors, split into 7 cubes in the tray. You have 5 waiting slots and two nest holes.
- Coral: 76 tiles → cubes of 49, 27
- Aqua: 38 tiles → cubes of 20, 18
- Orange: 32 tiles → cubes of 32
- Purple: 24 tiles → cubes of 19, 5
⚠️ 1 hidden “?” cube in the tray.
Spoiler: what they hide
Orange 32
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 Coral 27 cube.
- Send the Orange 32 cube. Only ~22 of its 32 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 49 cube. Only ~22 of its 49 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Aqua 18 cube.
- Send the Purple 5 cube.
- Send the Aqua 20 cube. Only ~15 of its 20 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Purple 19 cube. Only ~16 of its 19 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.
