What You're Up Against
Level 117 paints Butterfly with 194 tiles across 4 colors, split into 6 cubes in the tray. You have 5 waiting slots and two nest holes.
- Orange: 90 tiles → cubes of 52, 38
- Cyan: 72 tiles → cubes of 48, 24
- Blue: 22 tiles → cubes of 22
- Coral: 10 tiles → cubes of 10
⚠️ 1 hidden “?” cube in the tray.
Spoiler: what they hide
Cyan 24
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 Orange 52 cube. Only ~26 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 Cyan 24 cube. Only ~22 of its 24 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Cyan 48 cube. Only ~22 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 Orange 38 cube. Only ~22 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 Blue 22 cube.
- Send the Coral 10 cube.
Finish without boosters for 3 stars and bonus coins. If the board jams anyway, a Shuffle or Vacuum booster is the cheapest way out.
