What You're Up Against

Level 973 paints Moon with 484 tiles across 4 colors, split into 15 cubes in the tray. You have 5 waiting slots and two nest holes.

  • Lime: 355 tiles → cubes of 53, 50, 50, 40, 38, 37, 32, 31, 24
  • Red: 104 tiles → cubes of 44, 34, 19, 7
  • Pink: 13 tiles → cubes of 13
  • Teal: 12 tiles → cubes of 12

⚠️ 2 hidden “?” cubes in the tray.

Spoiler: what they hide

Pink 13, Red 7

🔒 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.

  1. Send the Lime 53 cube.
  2. Send the Lime 50 cube.
  3. Send the Lime 50 cube.
  4. Send the Lime 40 cube.
  5. Send the Lime 38 cube.
  6. Send the Lime 37 cube.
  7. Send the Lime 32 cube.
  8. Send the Red 19 cube.
  9. Send the Red 7 cube.
  10. Send the Lime 24 cube. Only ~23 of its 24 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
  11. Send the Red 44 cube. Only ~25 of its 44 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
  12. Send the Red 34 cube. Only ~17 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.
  13. Send the Lime 31 cube. Only ~17 of its 31 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
  14. Send the Teal 12 cube.
  15. Send the Pink 13 cube. Only ~11 of its 13 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.
