What You're Up Against
Level 166 paints Heart with 336 tiles across 3 colors, split into 10 cubes in the tray. You have 5 waiting slots and two nest holes.
- Brown: 248 tiles → cubes of 50, 50, 38, 31, 31, 28, 20
- Cream: 68 tiles → cubes of 44, 24
- Indigo: 20 tiles → cubes of 20
⚠️ 1 hidden “?” cube in the tray.
Spoiler: what they hide
Cream 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 Brown 50 cube.
- Send the Brown 38 cube.
- Send the Brown 31 cube.
- Send the Brown 31 cube.
- Send the Brown 28 cube.
- Send the Cream 24 cube.
- Send the Brown 20 cube.
- Send the Brown 50 cube. Only ~31 of its 50 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 44 cube. Only ~32 of its 44 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Indigo 20 cube. Only ~12 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.
Finish without boosters for 3 stars and bonus coins. If the board jams anyway, a Shuffle or Vacuum booster is the cheapest way out.
