What You're Up Against
Level 85 paints Rainbow with 388 tiles across 5 colors, split into 13 cubes in the tray. You have 5 waiting slots and two nest holes.
- Sand: 102 tiles → cubes of 37, 27, 19, 19
- Indigo: 86 tiles → cubes of 52, 34
- Jade: 74 tiles → cubes of 49, 25
- Lime: 66 tiles → cubes of 34, 26, 6
- Dark: 60 tiles → cubes of 41, 19
⚠️ 2 hidden “?” cubes in the tray.
Spoiler: what they hide
Dark 19, Dark 41
🔒 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 Lime 26 cube.
- Send the Dark 19 cube.
- Send the Sand 19 cube.
- Send the Lime 6 cube.
- Send the Lime 34 cube. Only ~24 of its 34 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Jade 25 cube.
- Send the Jade 49 cube. Only ~28 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 Sand 37 cube.
- Send the Sand 19 cube.
- Send the Sand 27 cube. Only ~22 of its 27 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Indigo 34 cube.
- Send the Indigo 52 cube. Only ~28 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 Dark 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.
Finish without boosters for 3 stars and bonus coins. If the board jams anyway, a Shuffle or Vacuum booster is the cheapest way out.
