Colony Flow! Level 217 Walkthrough
Level 217 features an intricate diamond tapestry covered by outer purple borders and nested diamond layers. Strip the dark purple outer frame first, then systematically peel the pink, red, and orange diamond borders inward. Stalling slots with inner yellow boxes too early causes a jam.

How to beat Colony Flow! Level 217 — full solution
- Tap the Purple 18 box (front row, left), the Purple 18 box (front row, middle), and the Purple 18 box (front row, right). These clear the entire outer purple perimeter of the tapestry and expose the second row of the stack.
- Tap the Red 20 box (front row, left), the revealed Pink boxes, and the Yellow 16 box (front row, right). The ants strip the exposed pink outer edges and yellow corner accents, opening up the upper diamond rows.
- Tap the Yellow 20 boxes and Red 20 box from the front row as they become available. They remove the red and yellow diamond lattice borders across the top and sides, freeing two slots.
- Tap the Orange 15 box, Yellow 20 box, and Red 20 box from the front row. They carry away the red diamond nodes and orange border accents across the centre, exposing the light blue and pink inner tiles.
- Tap the Light Blue 3 box, Pink 18 box, and Purple 5 box to target the inner diamond frames. Light blue and pink ants strip the inner motifs and clear the middle section of the picture.
- Tap the Red 16 box, Light Blue 2 box, Pink 17 box, and the remaining Purple and Yellow boxes in any order. The ants collect the remaining core tiles and upper diamond vertices, clearing the board completely.

Moves that cost you the level
- Tapping the Yellow 16 box or Yellow 20 boxes before the outer purple and pink layers are removed → yellow blocks sit deep inside the diamond centres, causing the yellow boxes to stall in the slots.
Quick tips for Level 217
- Clear all outer border colours fully before committing to boxes matching the diamond centres.
- Keep at least one slot empty when dealing with multi-box layers so newly unlocked front-row boxes can be played immediately.
Board breakdown5 notes
- Layout
- The picture is a repeating diamond tapestry pattern with purple borders, pink and red outer bands, and yellow centres with light blue accents. Below the picture are five empty slots and a three-column stack of boxes.
- Goal
- Dismantle every block of the diamond tapestry pattern by sliding matching ant boxes from the stack into the slots.
- Opening
- Tap the three Purple 18 boxes in the front row. All three immediately find exposed purple blocks along the outer border, clearing them without risking a stuck slot.
- Trap
- The Yellow 16 and Yellow 20 boxes sit near the top of the stack, but yellow pixels are nested at the very centres of the diamonds; sending them early clogs slots indefinitely.
- Mechanic
- Mystery boxes marked with question marks unlock and reveal their colours and numbers only once the boxes in front of them are removed.
