What You're Up Against

Level 187 paints Rainbow with 388 tiles across 5 colors, split into 11 cubes in the tray. You have 5 waiting slots and two nest holes.

  • Navy: 102 tiles → cubes of 44, 32, 26
  • Violet: 86 tiles → cubes of 51, 35
  • Teal: 74 tiles → cubes of 49, 25
  • Yellow: 66 tiles → cubes of 54, 12
  • Lime: 60 tiles → cubes of 40, 20

⚠️ 1 hidden “?” cube in the tray.

Spoiler: what they hide

Lime 40

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.

  1. Send the Lime 20 cube.
  2. Send the Yellow 12 cube.
  3. Send the Yellow 54 cube. Only ~28 of its 54 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
  4. Send the Teal 25 cube.
  5. Send the Teal 49 cube. Only ~28 of its 49 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
  6. Send the Navy 32 cube.
  7. Send the Navy 26 cube.
  8. Send the Navy 44 cube. Only ~36 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.
  9. Send the Violet 35 cube. Only ~34 of its 35 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
  10. Send the Violet 51 cube. Only ~28 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.
  11. Send the Lime 40 cube. Only ~34 of its 40 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.
