What You're Up Against
Level 1285 paints Sun with 484 tiles across 4 colors, split into 16 cubes in the tray. You have 5 waiting slots and two nest holes.
- White: 360 tiles → cubes of 46, 46, 45, 44, 36, 36, 24, 23, 22, 19, 19
- Sand: 70 tiles → cubes of 37, 33
- Lime: 48 tiles → cubes of 33, 15
- Aqua: 6 tiles → cubes of 6
⚠️ 2 hidden “?” cubes in the tray.
Spoiler: what they hide
Aqua 6, Sand 33
🔒 1 locked cube — free the cube above them before they can be picked.
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 White 46 cube.
- Send the White 46 cube.
- Send the White 45 cube.
- Send the White 44 cube.
- Send the White 36 cube.
- Send the White 36 cube.
- Send the Lime 33 cube.
- Send the White 24 cube.
- Send the White 23 cube.
- Send the White 22 cube.
- Send the White 19 cube.
- Send the Sand 37 cube. Only ~22 of its 37 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the White 19 cube. Only ~17 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.
- Send the Lime 15 cube.
- Send the Sand 33 cube. Only ~14 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 Aqua 6 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.
