What You're Up Against
Level 471 paints House with 276 tiles across 5 colors, split into 9 cubes in the tray. You have 5 waiting slots and two nest holes.
- Magenta: 100 tiles → cubes of 48, 27, 25
- Green: 78 tiles → cubes of 48, 30
- Brown: 60 tiles → cubes of 37, 23
- Sand: 20 tiles → cubes of 20
- Black: 18 tiles → cubes of 18
⚠️ 1 hidden “?” cube in the tray.
Spoiler: what they hide
Brown 37
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 Brown 37 cube.
- Send the Green 48 cube. Only ~24 of its 48 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 25 cube.
- Send the Magenta 27 cube. Only ~21 of its 27 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Brown 23 cube. Only ~21 of its 23 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 48 cube. Only ~15 of its 48 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Green 30 cube. Only ~16 of its 30 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Black 18 cube. Only ~16 of its 18 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 20 cube. Only ~14 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.
