What You're Up Against

Level 442 paints Rainbow with 388 tiles across 5 colors, split into 13 cubes in the tray. You have 5 waiting slots and two nest holes.

  • Yellow: 102 tiles → cubes of 44, 22, 20, 16
  • Jade: 86 tiles → cubes of 50, 24, 12
  • Brown: 74 tiles → cubes of 53, 21
  • Cyan: 66 tiles → cubes of 39, 27
  • Lime: 60 tiles → cubes of 40, 20

⚠️ 2 hidden “?” cubes in the tray.

Spoiler: what they hide

Lime 20, Lime 40

🔒 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 Cyan 27 cube.
  2. Send the Lime 20 cube.
  3. Send the Yellow 20 cube.
  4. Send the Cyan 39 cube. Only ~25 of its 39 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
  5. Send the Brown 21 cube.
  6. Send the Brown 53 cube. Only ~29 of its 53 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
  7. Send the Yellow 22 cube.
  8. Send the Yellow 16 cube.
  9. Send the Yellow 44 cube. Only ~34 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.
  10. Send the Jade 24 cube.
  11. Send the Jade 12 cube.
  12. Send the Jade 50 cube. Only ~32 of its 50 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 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.
