What You're Up Against
Level 278 paints Ice Cream with 132 tiles across 4 colors, split into 5 cubes in the tray. You have 5 waiting slots and two nest holes.
- White: 54 tiles → cubes of 54
- Magenta: 52 tiles → cubes of 43, 9
- Lime: 20 tiles → cubes of 20
- Indigo: 6 tiles → cubes of 6
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.
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 9 cube.
- Send the White 54 cube. Only ~19 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.
- Send the Magenta 43 cube. Only ~14 of its 43 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Lime 20 cube. Only ~18 of its 20 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. Only ~5 of its 6 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.
