What You're Up Against
Level 697 paints Rainbow with 388 tiles across 5 colors, split into 13 cubes in the tray. You have 5 waiting slots and two nest holes.
- Navy: 102 tiles → cubes of 28, 26, 26, 22
- Purple: 86 tiles → cubes of 41, 24, 21
- Red: 74 tiles → cubes of 38, 36
- Jade: 66 tiles → cubes of 42, 24
- Coral: 60 tiles → cubes of 42, 18
⚠️ 2 hidden “?” cubes in the tray.
Spoiler: what they hide
Coral 42, Coral 18
🔒 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 Jade 24 cube.
- Send the Coral 18 cube.
- Send the Jade 42 cube. Only ~26 of its 42 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 36 cube. Only ~30 of its 36 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Navy 22 cube.
- Send the Red 38 cube. Only ~24 of its 38 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Navy 28 cube.
- Send the Navy 26 cube.
- Send the Navy 26 cube. Only ~24 of its 26 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.
- Send the Purple 21 cube.
- Send the Purple 41 cube. Only ~31 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 Coral 42 cube. Only ~36 of its 42 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.
