What You're Up Against

Level 229 paints Sun with 484 tiles across 4 colors, split into 16 cubes in the tray. You have 5 waiting slots and two nest holes.

  • Sand: 360 tiles → cubes of 46, 44, 41, 39, 36, 35, 32, 28, 26, 22, 11
  • Navy: 70 tiles → cubes of 41, 29
  • Orange: 48 tiles → cubes of 30, 18
  • Indigo: 6 tiles → cubes of 6

⚠️ 2 hidden “?” cubes in the tray.

Spoiler: what they hide

Indigo 6, Navy 29

🔒 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.

  1. Send the Sand 46 cube.
  2. Send the Sand 44 cube.
  3. Send the Sand 41 cube.
  4. Send the Sand 39 cube.
  5. Send the Sand 36 cube.
  6. Send the Sand 35 cube.
  7. Send the Sand 32 cube.
  8. Send the Orange 30 cube.
  9. Send the Sand 28 cube.
  10. Send the Sand 26 cube.
  11. Send the Sand 11 cube.
  12. Send the Navy 41 cube. Only ~19 of its 41 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
  13. Send the Sand 22 cube. Only ~20 of its 22 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
  14. Send the Orange 18 cube.
  15. Send the Navy 29 cube. Only ~12 of its 29 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
  16. Send the Indigo 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.
