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 โ?โ 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 Yellow 50 cube. Only ~31 of its 50 tiles are open at this point โ park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Yellow 39 cube. Only ~22 of its 39 tiles are open at this point โ park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Dark 30 cube. Only ~26 of its 30 tiles are open at this point โ park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Yellow 37 cube. Only ~17 of its 37 tiles are open at this point โ park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Black 20 cube. Only ~14 of its 20 tiles are open at this point โ park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Indigo 15 cube. Only ~10 of its 15 tiles are open at this point โ 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.
