How to Solve Colony Flow! Level 262 — Full Solution
- Tap blue 25, white 35, white 35 and dark 30 from the opening front row.
- When the first ants leave, tap dark 35 and keep the fifth buffer slot free while the long white/dark routes begin to shorten.
- Follow the visible staircase: 30/28/35, then 23/28/26/29/32, then 16/22/20/23/26.
- Continue through the shorter white/dark rows 10/16/13/16/19 and 3/9/6/9/12, waiting for a bay after every long group.
- Take the blue 25 return route only after the staircase has opened the creature body, then let the blue ants reach the eye and lower body.
- Tap pink 8 for the hearts when a slot returns, and wait for its short train before adding another blue or dark stack.
- Use the remaining blue and white routes around the eye, then route the framed red-brown 20 tile when its matching ants are visibly circulating.
- Finish the last white and dark tails around the lower body and upper-left tile, then wait for the blank grid before accepting Victory.
Colors in this level:
Blue, Cyan, White, Dark purple, Pink, Red, Brown
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Launching pink 8 before the white/dark count staircase drains can fill the five buffers and hide the next blue route.
- Treating the framed red-brown 20 tile as an ordinary free stack skips the body timing and leaves the upper-left target uncleared.
Quick Tips for Colony Flow! Level 262 (spoiler-free)
- Treat the white/dark 30/28/35 through 3/9/6/9/12 sequence as one staircase and wait between rows.
- Keep pink 8 behind the white/dark trains; it is a finishing route for the hearts, not the opener.
- Reserve a returned bay for the framed red-brown 20 tile after the creature body has thinned.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- White grid with a blue cartoon creature, large cyan eye and two pink hearts. A red-brown framed 20 tile sits at upper left. The opening stacks visibly show blue 25, white 35, white 35, dark 30, dark 35, pink 8, additional white 35 and a lower blue 25 above five empty buffer slots.
- Goal
- Clear the creature, eye, hearts and upper-left framed 20 tile by matching the blue, cyan, pink, white, dark and red-brown ant routes until the grid is empty.
- Opening
- Follow the visible front row blue 25, white 35, white 35 and dark 30, then take dark 35 and the revealed white/dark staircase. Let each long row drain before moving to pink 8.
- Danger Zone
- White 35 and dark 35 lanes can fill the buffer while pink 8 and blue 25 remain tempting below. Starting those short colored routes too early hides the next white/dark row and stalls the upper-left 20 tile.
- Mechanics
- Long white/dark perimeter trains clear the grid in descending count rows—30/28/35, 23/28/26/29/32, 16/22/20/23/26 and shorter tails—before blue, pink and red-brown details finish the creature.
Frequently Asked Questions
What order should I use at the start of Level 262?
Use blue 25, white 35, white 35 and dark 30, then dark 35 and the revealed white/dark staircase.
When is pink 8 safe?
After the white/dark rows have moved past the 30-class counters and a buffer slot has returned. Pink 8 should clear the hearts after the long routes, not before them.
