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 โ?โ 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 Sand 31 cube.
- Send the Sand 24 cube.
- Send the Sand 19 cube.
- Send the Orange 10 cube.
- Send the Orange 33 cube. Only ~22 of its 33 tiles are open at this point โ park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Sand 14 cube. Only ~13 of its 14 tiles are open at this point โ park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Orange 43 cube. Only ~19 of its 43 tiles are open at this point โ park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Lime 10 cube.
- Send the Aqua 24 cube. Only ~12 of its 24 tiles are open at this point โ 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.
