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.
- Send the Sand 46 cube.
- Send the Sand 44 cube.
- Send the Sand 41 cube.
- Send the Sand 39 cube.
- Send the Sand 36 cube.
- Send the Sand 35 cube.
- Send the Sand 32 cube.
- Send the Orange 30 cube.
- Send the Sand 28 cube.
- Send the Sand 26 cube.
- Send the Sand 11 cube.
- 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.
- 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.
- Send the Orange 18 cube.
- 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.
- 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.
