What You're Up Against
Level 1173 paints Rainbow with 388 tiles across 5 colors, split into 12 cubes in the tray. You have 5 waiting slots and two nest holes.
- Jade: 102 tiles → cubes of 55, 40, 7
- Violet: 86 tiles → cubes of 48, 38
- Coral: 74 tiles → cubes of 42, 32
- Yellow: 66 tiles → cubes of 40, 23, 3
- Cream: 60 tiles → cubes of 33, 27
⚠️ 2 hidden “?” cubes in the tray.
Spoiler: what they hide
Cream 33, Cream 27
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 Yellow 23 cube.
- Send the Jade 7 cube.
- Send the Yellow 3 cube.
- Send the Yellow 40 cube. Only ~26 of its 40 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 32 cube. Only ~30 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 Jade 55 cube. Only ~24 of its 55 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 42 cube. Only ~28 of its 42 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 38 cube. Only ~24 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 Cream 33 cube. Only ~22 of its 33 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 48 cube. Only ~24 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 Cream 27 cube.
- Send the Jade 40 cube. Only ~28 of its 40 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.
