What You're Up Against
Level 181 paints Moon with 484 tiles across 4 colors, split into 18 cubes in the tray. You have 5 waiting slots and two nest holes.
- Magenta: 355 tiles → cubes of 37, 36, 34, 34, 31, 30, 29, 25, 24, 21, 21, 20, 13
- Navy: 104 tiles → cubes of 51, 47, 6
- Coral: 13 tiles → cubes of 13
- Blue: 12 tiles → cubes of 12
⚠️ 3 hidden “?” cubes in the tray.
Spoiler: what they hide
Navy 51, Coral 13, Navy 6
🔒 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 Magenta 36 cube.
- Send the Magenta 34 cube.

- Send the Navy 6 cube.
- Send the Navy 51 cube. Only ~31 of its 51 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 47 cube. Only ~21 of its 47 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Blue 12 cube.
- Send the Magenta 13 cube. Only ~12 of its 13 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 13 cube. Only ~11 of its 13 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.
