What You're Up Against
Level 491 paints Turtle with 117 tiles across 4 colors, split into 5 cubes in the tray. You have 5 waiting slots and two nest holes.
- Teal: 52 tiles → cubes of 52
- Purple: 28 tiles → cubes of 24, 4
- Yellow: 19 tiles → cubes of 19
- Dark: 18 tiles → cubes of 18
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.
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 Teal 52 cube. Only ~21 of its 52 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Purple 4 cube.
- Send the Yellow 19 cube. Only ~15 of its 19 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Purple 24 cube. Only ~14 of its 24 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Dark 18 cube. Only ~12 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.
Finish without boosters for 3 stars and bonus coins. If the board jams anyway, a Shuffle or Vacuum booster is the cheapest way out.
