Colony Flow! Level 138 Walkthrough
Colony Flow Level 138 is a mushroom board where the green rectangular field has to open first, because the purple cap, yellow stalk, and tiny pale under-cap flaps all compete for the same single ant hole afterward.

How to Solve Colony Flow! Level 138 — Full Solution
- Start with the loaded field opener, especially green 28 and green 30, while pale 40 and gray 39 begin the first highlight and edge cleanup. That opens the rectangular background before the big cap arrives.
- Keep the broad field moving with the next green family, including green 30 and the later green 34, until the outer border is clearly shrinking on all sides.
- Bring in the first cap-and-stalk sequence only after the background is active. Purple 35 and yellow 25 / 22 are much safer once the field already owns the lane.
- Add the dark rim and cap-edge pieces in parallel, using several dark outline stacks while the purple cap and yellow stalk are still draining. This keeps the top arc from stranding until the end.
- Hold the tiny pale under-cap flaps for later. several pale stacks should arrive after the stalk and cap rim are already open, not while the big green field is still thick.
- Finish with the last purple cap edge, the remaining green border, and the final under-cap or highlight pieces. The board clears when the top arc, outer rectangle, and center stalk all disappear together.
Colors in this level:
Green, Purple, Yellow, Orange, White, Cyan, Black
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Sending the purple cap before the green field is already shrinking, which parks ants along the top arc and leaves the broad background untouched.
- Using the tiny under-cap flaps too early, which clogs the center while the stalk and cap rim are still thick.
- Treating the curved cap as the opener instead of solving the flat rectangular field first.
Quick Tips for Colony Flow! Level 138 (spoiler-free)
- Open the green rectangle before the purple cap.
- Let the dark rim move alongside the cap so the top arc does not strand until endgame.
- Save the tiny pale under-cap flaps for after the stalk and rim are already open.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Mushroom portrait inside the white frame. A bright green rectangular background clears the outer field, a broad purple cap with white star-like spots stretches across the top, pale-cyan shading runs along the right side of the cap, and a yellow-orange stalk rises through the middle with small pale under-cap flaps. A single dark ant hole sits below the portrait. The active row begins already loaded with pale 40, gray 39, green 28, and green 30, plus one empty pad, then rotates into yellow 25, purple 35, green 30, cyan 20, the several dark outline stacks, the heavy yellow center waves, the several pale stacks, purple 31 / 28, green 34, and later tiny cap-spot and stalk cleaners.
- Goal
- Green stacks clear the broad rectangular background. Purple drains the mushroom cap and later upper-left cap ridge. Pale-cyan and white finish the cap highlight patches and small under-cap flaps. Yellow and orange own the stalk. Dark stacks clear the cap outline and late edge cleanup under the rim. The board clears only when the final green border, remaining purple cap edge, and last pale under-cap cells disappear together.
- Opening
- The opener is background-first with a delayed cap. The loaded row already shows pale 40, gray 39, green 28, and green 30, so the safe start is to let the green field and first highlight lane open before the heavy purple cap joins. Yellow 25 and purple 35 become safe only once the outer wall is already shrinking.
- Danger Zone
- The cap family is the greed trap. If several purple stacks floods the row before the green field is already moving, ants park along the top arc and leave the huge rectangular background untouched. The second trap is sending the small pale under-cap flaps too early, because those tiny pockets clog the center if the stalk and cap rim are still thick.
- Mechanics
- Mushroom routing with a broad flat field opener and delayed curved cap drain. The board alternates between large rectangular field control and smaller curved cap / flap details.
Frequently Asked Questions
What should I tap first in Colony Flow Level 138?
Start with the loaded green field family, especially green 28 and green 30. The broad rectangular background controls the pace of the board, and the purple cap is much safer once the wall is already shrinking.
Why do the pale under-cap flaps jam Colony Flow Level 138?
Because they are tiny center pockets beneath a much larger cap and field. If they enter before the stalk and cap rim are already open, ants sit in those little flaps and block the same hole the broader field still needs.
