What You're Up Against
Level 1257 paints Citrus with 325 tiles across 5 colors, split into 12 cubes in the tray. You have 5 waiting slots and two nest holes.
- Navy: 136 tiles → cubes of 48, 38, 32, 18
- Aqua: 84 tiles → cubes of 32, 31, 21
- Orange: 80 tiles → cubes of 38, 34, 8
- Violet: 20 tiles → cubes of 20
- Lime: 5 tiles → cubes of 5
⚠️ 2 hidden “?” cubes in the tray.
Spoiler: what they hide
Lime 5, Violet 20
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 Aqua 32 cube.
- Send the Aqua 31 cube.
- Send the Orange 34 cube.
- Send the Orange 8 cube.
- Send the Orange 38 cube. Only ~21 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 Navy 38 cube.
- Send the Navy 32 cube.
- Send the Aqua 21 cube.
- Send the Navy 18 cube.
- Send the Navy 48 cube. Only ~27 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 Violet 20 cube. Only ~16 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 Lime 5 cube. Only ~4 of its 5 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.
