How to beat Colony Flow! Level 276 — full solution

  1. With Black 45 and Black 50 already active in the slots attacking the base, tap Cyan 55, Cyan 50, the linked Cyan 45 + Cyan 55 pair, and Cyan 67 from the front row in any order. The cyan ants peel away the outer background border.
  2. Tap Cyan 15, Cyan 50, and Grey 14 (revealed as Cyan 14) from the front row, then tap Purple 3, Black 8, and Orange 25 in any order. Ants strip the lower cyan borders and begin peeling the orange beak and purple outline edges.
  3. Tap Cyan 40, Yellow 20, Grey 15, and Orange 25 as they reach the front row in any order. The ants strip the upper-right cyan sky and begin dismantling the yellow forehead and orange beak, leaving four busy slots.
  4. Tap Cyan 20, Orange 25, and Yellow 25 as they unlock, followed by White 60 from the stack. Ants consume the white eye patch, finish the orange beak, and hollow out the central yellow face.
  5. Tap Yellow 35 and the linked Black 35 + Black 30 pair once two slots are clear, then tap Red 12. Black ants carry away the outline frame while red ants start eating the top-left anger symbol.
  6. Allow Yellow 2 to collect the final yellow forehead blocks and Red 10 to strip the remaining red anger mark blocks. Once every block enters the nest, the level is complete.

Moves that cost you the level

  • Tapping the linked Black 35 + Black 30 pair with only one free slot → linked boxes require two open slots at the same time, preventing other boxes from sliding in.
  • Tapping Red 12 early in the run → the red anger mark is isolated at the top-left corner and stalls a slot while outer cyan and yellow layers still need clearing.

Quick tips for Level 276

  • Always work from the outer background colours inward so inner colour ant boxes do not stall without exposed targets.
  • Keep at least two slots open whenever a linked box pair approaches the front of the stack.
Board breakdown5 notes
Layout
A square board displaying a chick face on a cyan background, with heavy base countdown blocks along the bottom. Five slots sit above a five-column stack of ant boxes.
Goal
Clear all pixel blocks making up the chick, background, and numbered base blocks using ant boxes from the stack.
Opening
Use the front row cyan boxes to remove the surrounding sky while the initial black boxes chip away the numbered base blocks.
Trap
Tapping Red 12 or the linked Black 35 + Black 30 pair before enough slots are free and target blocks are fully exposed.
Mechanic
Linked boxes must enter two free slots simultaneously. Mystery grey boxes reveal their true colour upon reaching the front row.

Level 276 questions

  • How do I fit the linked black boxes in Level 276?

    Wait until two slots are completely empty before tapping the linked Black 35 + Black 30 pair, ensuring their outline targets are already uncovered.
