What You're Up Against
Level 185 paints Penguin with 142 tiles across 4 colors, split into 7 cubes in the tray. You have 5 waiting slots and two nest holes.
- Black: 82 tiles → cubes of 55, 27
- Aqua: 48 tiles → cubes of 23, 19, 6
- Dark: 8 tiles → cubes of 8
- Brown: 4 tiles → cubes of 4
⚠️ 1 hidden “?” cube in the tray.
Spoiler: what they hide
Dark 8
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 Black 27 cube.
- Send the Dark 8 cube.
- Send the Black 55 cube. Only ~36 of its 55 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 19 cube.
- Send the Aqua 6 cube.
- Send the Brown 4 cube.
- Send the Aqua 23 cube. Only ~15 of its 23 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.
