How to beat Colony Flow! Level 185 — full solution
- With Brown 47 and Orange 20 already placed in slots 1 and 2, tap the White 286 box from the front row, left, followed by Red 45 in the front row, middle, and Green 28. White strips the large background grid while Brown, Red, and Green strip the beast's outer back and muzzle.
- Tap the Brown 50 box from the front row left, the Dark Green 40 box from the front row middle, and the Grey 24 box into the remaining slots. The ants carry away the foliage and begin clearing the grey woven pack on the animal's flank.
- Tap the Pink 25 box from the front row left to clear the pink blooms sitting atop the pack. Follow with the White 25 box and Red 23 box as earlier boxes deplete, carving away the interior muzzle blocks and the animal's belly.
- Tap the Yellow 45 box to begin stripping the saddle and chest patches. Deploy the Light Green 20 box and Light Green 25 box to finish off the remaining greenery on the upper pack.
- Tap the White 20 box and Brown 45 box as slots open up, clearing the remainder of the beast's legs and body outline. Maintain free slots by letting the Yellow and Pink boxes finish their counts.
- Tap the Orange 16 box and White 41 box to strip the remaining saddle highlights and internal torso blocks, clearing everything down to the black structural outline.
- Tap the final column of Black boxes in order: Black 35, Black 30, then Black 25. The ants dismantle the remaining dark outline and tail, finishing the picture and clearing all slots.

Moves that cost you the level
- Tapping Black 35 or internal Brown boxes before stripping the outer White background → the dark outline blocks are completely covered, leaving slots trapped until outer layers are removed.
- Tapping Pink 25 while all foliage is still covered by Green → Pink flowers cannot be reached, stalling the slot indefinitely.
Quick tips for Level 185
- Always exhaust the large White background box early, as White blocks surround the entire perimeter and free access to internal colours.
- Keep at least one slot open or occupied by a fast-draining outer colour so newly exposed inner tones can be processed immediately.
Board breakdown5 notes
- Layout
- A rectangular grid displaying a pack animal facing left, loaded with a basket of green leaves and pink flowers, set against a light beige-white grid.
- Goal
- Clear all pixel blocks from the picture using the boxes in the stack without permanently filling all five slots with stuck boxes.
- Opening
- Brown 47 and Orange 20 begin in the slots. Tapping White 286 immediately strips the outer grid, creating wide exposed edges for Red, Brown, and Green.
- Trap
- The Black boxes at the bottom of the stack form the internal outline of the animal; if tapped while still locked beneath white and coloured body blocks, they will stall.
- Mechanic
- Stack reveals: uncovering lower rows in the stack requires clearing boxes directly above them, revealing hidden single and multi-coloured counts.
