What You're Up Against
Level 397 paints Heart with 336 tiles across 3 colors, split into 11 cubes in the tray. You have 5 waiting slots and two nest holes.
- Cyan: 248 tiles → cubes of 49, 49, 41, 38, 26, 26, 19
- Aqua: 68 tiles → cubes of 33, 19, 16
- Yellow: 20 tiles → cubes of 20
⚠️ 1 hidden “?” cube in the tray.
Spoiler: what they hide
Aqua 16
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 Cyan 49 cube.
- Send the Cyan 41 cube.
- Send the Cyan 38 cube.
- Send the Cyan 26 cube.
- Send the Cyan 26 cube.
- Send the Aqua 19 cube.
- Send the Cyan 19 cube.
- Send the Aqua 16 cube.
- Send the Cyan 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.
- Send the Aqua 33 cube. Only ~29 of its 33 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Yellow 20 cube. Only ~12 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.
Finish without boosters for 3 stars and bonus coins. If the board jams anyway, a Shuffle or Vacuum booster is the cheapest way out.
