- Yellow: 125 tiles → cubes of 51, 49, 25
- Jade: 90 tiles → cubes of 48, 42
- Red: 54 tiles → cubes of 30, 24
- Indigo: 38 tiles → cubes of 21, 17
- White: 36 tiles → cubes of 36
- Orange: 12 tiles → cubes of 12
⚠️ 1 hidden “?” cube in the tray.
Spoiler: what they hide
White 36
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 48 cube. Only ~22 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 White 36 cube. Only ~21 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 Jade 42 cube. Only ~15 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 Indigo 17 cube.
- Send the Yellow 25 cube. Only ~20 of its 25 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
- Send the Yellow 51 cube. Only ~20 of its 51 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 Red 24 cube.
- Send the Yellow 49 cube. Only ~21 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.

Finish without boosters for 3 stars and bonus coins. If the board jams anyway, a Shuffle or Vacuum booster is the cheapest way out.
