What You're Up Against
Level 816 paints Rainbow with 388 tiles across 5 colors, split into 12 cubes in the tray. You have 5 waiting slots and two nest holes.
- Violet: 102 tiles → cubes of 43, 35, 24
- Sand: 86 tiles → cubes of 50, 26, 10
- Brown: 74 tiles → cubes of 42, 32
- Teal: 66 tiles → cubes of 46, 20
- Aqua: 60 tiles → cubes of 30, 30
⚠️ 2 hidden “?” cubes in the tray.
Spoiler: what they hide
Aqua 30, Aqua 30
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 Teal 20 cube.
- Send the Teal 46 cube. Only ~28 of its 46 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Brown 42 cube. Only ~30 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 Violet 24 cube.
- Send the Violet 43 cube. Only ~24 of its 43 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Sand 10 cube.
- Send the Sand 26 cube.
- Send the Sand 50 cube. Only ~28 of its 50 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Aqua 30 cube.
- Send the Aqua 30 cube. Only ~28 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.
- Send the Brown 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.
- Send the Violet 35 cube. Only ~26 of its 35 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.
