What You're Up Against

Level 478 paints Moon with 484 tiles across 4 colors, split into 15 cubes in the tray. You have 5 waiting slots and two nest holes.

  • Dark: 355 tiles → cubes of 52, 48, 45, 43, 37, 31, 27, 25, 25, 22
  • Indigo: 104 tiles → cubes of 43, 31, 30
  • Navy: 13 tiles → cubes of 13
  • Red: 12 tiles → cubes of 12

⚠️ 2 hidden “?” cubes in the tray.

Spoiler: what they hide

Indigo 31, Navy 13

🔒 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 Dark 52 cube.
  2. Send the Dark 48 cube.
  3. Send the Dark 45 cube.
  4. Send the Dark 43 cube.
  5. Send the Dark 37 cube.
  6. Send the Dark 31 cube.
  7. Send the Dark 27 cube.
  8. Send the Dark 25 cube.
  9. Send the Dark 25 cube.
  10. Send the Indigo 30 cube. Only ~27 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.
  11. Send the Indigo 31 cube. Only ~28 of its 31 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
  12. Send the Indigo 43 cube. Only ~20 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.
  13. Send the Dark 22 cube. Only ~14 of its 22 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
  14. Send the Red 12 cube.
  15. Send the Navy 13 cube. Only ~11 of its 13 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.
