Colony Flow! Level 157 Walkthrough
Colony Flow Level 157 hides a purple-and-white raccoon portrait inside a wide yellow field, so yellow 45 must open the perimeter before purple tail traffic, dark outline stacks, and the final pale cleanup share the single ant hole.

How to Solve Colony Flow! Level 157 — Full Solution
- Tap yellow 45 first and wait for its ants to leave the lower edge and enter the central hole route.
- Add yellow 60, then purple 45, allowing both trains to round the left and right perimeter before the dark tail is opened.
- Bring brown 40 and the next yellow 35 / 30 batches into the active row; keep the broad yellow field shrinking while the brown tail-side cells begin to open.
- Continue the large yellow family through yellow 60, 45, 46, and 35, pausing between waves so the ants can pass the hole and one white pad remains free.
- Route brown 33 / 20 / 40 and black 50 / 40 / 20 after the yellow wall has broken into corners. These clear the right tail shadow, lower bar, eye patches, and dark contour.
- Use purple 37 / 30 / 45, then the smaller purple 21 / 16 / 17 groups, against the ears, cheeks, tail stripe, and remaining body blocks; wait whenever the lower center is crowded.
- Send white 40 / 30 through the muzzle and belly, then take the late brown 18 / 17 / 12, black 10 / 30, and white 22 groups as they appear.
- Finish with the mixed small row: purple 5, white 22, brown 12, purple 17, yellow 19, and the remaining black 30. Wait for the residual face, tail, and top yellow cells to disappear together.
Colors in this level:
Yellow, Purple, Brown, Black, White
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Opening the purple tail and black outline while yellow ants still fill both lower corners, which creates a queue at the only hole and strands yellow background cells.
- Filling every white buffer pad during the first yellow wave, leaving no slot for the later white 40 / 30 cleanup.
- Treating the first large yellow field as the finish and clicking dark cleanup batches before the lower purple strip has cleared.
Quick Tips for Colony Flow! Level 157 (spoiler-free)
- Let yellow 45 and yellow 60 establish the perimeter route before committing the purple tail batches.
- Keep one of the five white pads empty while yellow ants are still crossing below the raccoon.
- Use brown and black after the field breaks into open corners; they are safer cleanup colors than opening colors on this board.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- A yellow background surrounds a purple-blue raccoon portrait with white muzzle and belly, charcoal eye patches, a long dark strip along the bottom, and a large dark tail on the right. Five white buffer pads start empty above the grid. The visible stacks include yellow 45, brown 33, yellow 45, black 50, yellow 60; purple 37, brown 20, brown 40, purple 30, purple 45; yellow 60, brown 40, white 40, yellow 30, yellow 35; and lower yellow 45, black 40, yellow 46, yellow 30, black 20. One ant hole sits below the frame.
- Goal
- Drain the yellow field and long lower border first, then route purple into the raccoon body, ears, cheeks, and tail. Brown and black clear the tail shadow and dark outline, while white 40 / 30 removes the muzzle and belly. The final clear is the remaining face-and-tail silhouette disappearing through the same lower hole.
- Opening
- Start with yellow 45. After its ants leave the lower crossing, add yellow 60 and purple 45, then let brown 40 and the next yellow batches join the active route. The opening is a field-first sequence; the five pads should not be filled before the first yellow perimeter train rounds the hole.
- Danger Zone
- Launching purple tail or black outline stacks while the yellow wall still occupies both lower corners makes the colors queue at the central hole and strands the background edge. Keep one white pad open until the yellow crossing clears, then use it for the later white and small dark batches.
- Mechanics
- Perimeter-traffic routing with a long yellow background drain. The purple raccoon and dark right tail sit inside a nearly continuous yellow field, so the solve alternates long yellow runs with short purple, brown, white, and black cleanup waves.
Frequently Asked Questions
What should I tap first in Colony Flow Level 157?
Tap yellow 45 first. It starts the long background route; follow it with yellow 60 and purple 45 only after the first yellow ants have crossed the lower edge.
Why does the raccoon tail jam this level?
The dark tail shares the perimeter and the central hole with the yellow wall. If purple or black enters too early, those ants meet the yellow train at the bottom and leave the tail and background competing for one route.
When should the white stack be used?
Reserve the open pad for the white 40 / 30 wave after the yellow wall has broken into corners. White then clears the muzzle and belly without displacing the larger yellow perimeter traffic.
