Colony Flow! Level 161 Walkthrough
Colony Flow Level 161 clears a pink flower in a cyan pot by draining the red/orange perimeter first, then routing the green stem, cyan pot, and tiny pink remnants through the five-slot buffer.

How to Solve Colony Flow! Level 161 — Full Solution
- Tap red 33, then continue the visible red sequence through 30, 37, 27, and 33 as slots free. Wait for the first red ants to leave the brown hole before filling a fifth slot.
- Add orange 35 and orange 39 after the red line is moving, then let the orange ants wrap the upper and side edges before another large red/orange tap.
- Run the falling mixed counters around 20/27/35/39, then use the revealed red 25 and light-cyan 1 groups; leave the green 35 for the next free buffer.
- Route cyan 1, green 26, red 25, and the next small pink/green groups, waiting for cyan ants to cross the pot rim before adding red 40 or orange 40.
- Clear the mid-board small groups pink 5, red 31, green 5, and light-cyan 20 while keeping one buffer blank for the central return lane.
- Take pink 5, red 2, green 2, then light-cyan 13 and green 1; the board should now show only separated petals, stem cells, pot pixels, and outline fragments.
- Queue orange 14/16, green 18, red/pink 35, and pale pink 23, then wait for the perimeter ants to finish before the next small card.
- Finish orange 4/8, green 1, pink/red 18, pale pink 6, and the remaining pale-pink 20. Confirm the empty frame and victory transition.
Colors in this level:
Red, Orange, Green, Pink, Cyan, Black
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Filling all five buffers with red/orange before the first perimeter wave has crossed the brown hole, which leaves no slot for the cyan pot route.
- Tapping green 35 or a second large red stack while the orange 35/39 traffic is still on the side rails, causing a lower-edge queue.
- Calling the level finished when the flower is broken apart but the green stem, cyan pot, or final pink fragments are still visible.
Quick Tips for Colony Flow! Level 161 (spoiler-free)
- Start with the red 33/30/37/27/33 queue and wait for its counters to fall before adding the orange 35/39 route.
- Keep one white buffer open while red and orange ants cross the brown hole; the cyan pot route needs that spare slot.
- Do not stop at the broken flower shape; finish orange 4/8, green 1, pink/red 18, pale pink 6, and the remaining pink 20.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- A pink flower with pale petals, a green stem, orange upper field, dark-pink lower blocks, and a cyan flowerpot fills the white frame. Five white buffers start empty above the brown ant hole. Visible stacks include green 35, pink 20, red 34, red 35; pink 20, magenta 15, light-cyan 15, pink 35; red 40, orange 40, pale pink 20, and dark 36.
- Goal
- Send red and pink into the dark-pink background and petals, orange into the upper arc, green into the stem/leaves, light-cyan into the pot, and dark 36 into the outline. The win cue is the empty frame after the final green, orange, pink, and cyan ants finish.
- Opening
- Use the observed red queue 33, then 30/37, then 27/33. Add orange 35 and 39 only after the first red ants have left the brown hole and one of the five buffers is free.
- Danger Zone
- Do not fill all five buffers with red/orange or tap green 35 too early. The central hole and lower frame are shared by the red/orange perimeter, cyan pot, and late green/pink routes, so premature traffic strands the small pot and stem pieces.
- Mechanics
- Layered flower-and-pot clearing with limited-buffer perimeter traffic: broad red/orange fields clear first, followed by separated cyan pot, green stem, dark outline, and pink petal remnants.
Frequently Asked Questions
What should I tap first in Colony Flow Level 161?
Follow the visible red queue 33, 30, 37, 27, and 33, then add orange 35 and 39 after the first red ants have left the brown hole.
Why must I save a buffer for cyan?
The cyan pot route shares the lower return lane with the red/orange perimeter. A free white slot prevents the pot and green stem remnants from waiting behind a full red/orange row.
What are the last Level 161 groups?
The video shows orange 4/8, green 1, pink/red 18, pale pink 6, and a remaining pale-pink 20 before the empty-frame cue.
