What You're Up Against
Level 526 paints Sun with 484 tiles across 4 colors, split into 14 cubes in the tray. You have 5 waiting slots and two nest holes.
- Forest: 360 tiles → cubes of 53, 52, 51, 49, 40, 31, 28, 24, 19, 13
- Orange: 70 tiles → cubes of 39, 31
- Violet: 48 tiles → cubes of 48
- Red: 6 tiles → cubes of 6
⚠️ 2 hidden “?” cubes in the tray.
Spoiler: what they hide
Orange 31, Red 6
🔒 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.
- Send the Forest 53 cube.
- Send the Forest 52 cube.
- Send the Forest 51 cube.
- Send the Forest 40 cube.
- Send the Forest 31 cube.
- Send the Forest 28 cube.
- Send the Forest 24 cube.
- Send the Forest 19 cube.
- Send the Forest 13 cube.
- Send the Violet 48 cube. Only ~40 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 Forest 49 cube. Only ~31 of its 49 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Orange 31 cube. Only ~24 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.
- Send the Orange 39 cube. Only ~19 of its 39 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Red 6 cube.
Finish without boosters for 3 stars and bonus coins. If the board jams anyway, a Shuffle or Vacuum booster is the cheapest way out.
