What You're Up Against

Level 49 paints Moon with 400 tiles across 4 colors, split into 16 cubes in the tray. You have 5 waiting slots and two nest holes.

  • Magenta: 295 tiles → cubes of 40, 38, 36, 34, 31, 31, 28, 22, 21, 14
  • Lime: 81 tiles → cubes of 32, 30, 16, 3
  • Cyan: 12 tiles → cubes of 12
  • Sand: 12 tiles → cubes of 12

⚠️ 2 hidden “?” cubes in the tray.

Spoiler: what they hide

Lime 3, Sand 12

🔒 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 Magenta 40 cube.
  2. Send the Magenta 38 cube.
  3. Send the Magenta 36 cube.
  4. Send the Magenta 34 cube.
  5. Send the Magenta 31 cube.
  6. Send the Magenta 31 cube.
  7. Send the Magenta 28 cube.
  8. Send the Magenta 22 cube.
  9. Send the Magenta 21 cube.
  10. Send the Lime 16 cube.
  11. Send the Lime 3 cube.
  12. Send the Lime 32 cube. Only ~24 of its 32 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 30 cube. Only ~13 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.
  14. Send the Cyan 12 cube.
  15. Send the Magenta 14 cube. Only ~13 of its 14 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
  16. Send the Sand 12 cube. Only ~11 of its 12 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.
