How to Solve Colony Flow! Level 173 — Full Solution
- Tap purple 22, blue 36, and lime/green 44, then wait for the charcoal ants to establish the upper side lanes.
- Follow purple 14/4, blue 31, black 34/21, and blue 37/36 while keeping the central hole visible.
- Feed pale-cyan 24, green 35, lime 45, and cyan 30 to open the toe and upper; pause if blue ants still occupy the right edge.
- Route green/lime 33/28/27/24 with blue 30/29/28/26. Let the upper thin into separate clusters before adding more pink.
- Start the sole phase with pink 22/27/24, purple 24, and black 45/48. Leave the last white pad free while the dark tread remains connected.
- Clear cyan/blue 40/35/30, green 35, pink 25, and black 48 as the shoe breaks into top, toe, sole, and tread fragments.
- Continue through green 22/17/14/11, pale-cyan 13/9/5, lime 43/40/35/29, and blue 36/8/7/3, waiting between the small cards.
- Finish with green 16, pale-cyan 5, green 3, lime 15, blue 3, then purple 30 and cyan 30. Wait for the tread bar and final cyan cluster to vanish before Victory.
Colors in this level:
Green, Blue, Lime, Black, Cyan, Pale-cyan, Pink, Purple
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Opening pink sole cards while the charcoal frame and blue toe ants still fill the lower perimeter, which strands the sole fragments.
- Using all five pads during the green/lime upper phase and leaving no room for black 48 or the separated purple strip.
- Counting the shoe as solved when only the main silhouette is gone; the purple 30 bar, tiny purple square, and cyan 30 cluster are still active.
Quick Tips for Colony Flow! Level 173 (spoiler-free)
- Use purple 22, blue 36, and lime/green 44 to open the side lanes before feeding the big green upper.
- Keep one white buffer pad free when black 45/48, pink 22/27/24, and blue toe traffic overlap.
- Do not stop at the empty-looking shoe; follow green 16/3, pale-cyan 5, lime 15, purple 30, and cyan 30 to Victory.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- The opening art is a large blue-and-purple sneaker/boot with lime and green upper panels, a cyan/light-blue toe, a pink sole and heel, purple lower tread, and charcoal blocks in both upper corners and the lower outline. Five white buffer pads are empty. The visible queue begins green 33, blue 30, lime 44, black 7, blue 36; then pale-cyan 24, black 45, green 35, lime 45, cyan 30, followed by blue 40, pink 22, pink 27, pink 24, purple 24, cyan 29, pink 25, and green 35.
- Goal
- Drain charcoal from the corner frame and tread, green/lime from the upper, cyan/blue from the toe and highlights, pink from the sole, and purple from the lower tread and isolated strip. The level is complete only after the late green 16/3, pale-cyan 5, lime 15, blue 3, purple 30, and cyan 30 fragments reach the central hole.
- Opening
- Tap purple 22, blue 36, and lime/green 44 first; the active row then moves through purple 14/4, blue 31, lime 44, black 34/21, and blue 37/36. Let the charcoal side loop establish before opening the large green/lime rows.
- Danger Zone
- Opening pink 22/27/24 while the charcoal border and blue toe traffic still occupy the bottom edge isolates the sole and tread. The shoe can look clear while black 48, purple 30, and cyan 30 still have active routes.
- Mechanics
- Layered sneaker routing with a charcoal perimeter, green/lime upper phase, cyan/blue toe phase, pink/purple sole phase, and a highly fragmented tread-and-cyan finish.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does purple 22 lead this sneaker board?
Purple 22 and blue 36 open the lower and side lanes while lime/green 44 exposes the upper. The charcoal perimeter can then circulate without the large green stacks sealing the central route.
When should the pink sole groups enter?
Wait until black 34/21 and the blue toe traffic have moved through the side lanes. Pink 22/27/24 then clears the sole without trapping the dark tread or the last cyan toe pieces.
What are the real final fragments?
The late source shows green 16/3, pale-cyan 5, lime 15, blue 3, a purple 30 strip, and cyan 30. Those separate groups must all reach the central hole for Victory.
