What You're Up Against
Level 561 paints Rainbow with 374 tiles across 4 colors, split into 10 cubes in the tray. You have 5 waiting slots and two nest holes.
- Lime: 116 tiles → cubes of 47, 41, 28
- Red: 94 tiles → cubes of 47, 30, 17
- Blue: 82 tiles → cubes of 53, 29
- Magenta: 82 tiles → cubes of 55, 27
⚠️ 1 hidden “?” cube in the tray.
Spoiler: what they hide
Magenta 55
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 Blue 29 cube.
- Send the Red 17 cube.
- Send the Blue 53 cube. Only ~27 of its 53 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 30 cube.
- Send the Magenta 55 cube. Only ~24 of its 55 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Lime 28 cube.
- Send the Lime 47 cube. Only ~24 of its 47 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 47 cube. Only ~26 of its 47 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Lime 41 cube. Only ~35 of its 41 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Magenta 27 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.
