- Tap White 45 (Row 3, first position) to clear more of the dog face.
- Wait for white ants to clear perimeter paths before tapping red stacks.
- Tap Red 16 (Row 2, second position) once white routes are clear to begin stripe clearance.
- Tap Red 45 (Row 3, first position) to continue red clearance.
- Tap Red 16 (Row 4, second position) to finish the main red sections.
- Tap Black 7 and Black 45 (Row 1, second and fourth positions) to clear the dog outline and details.

White, Red, Black, Brown, Pink, Orange, Gray
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Tapping Red 45 before clearing the white face blocks red routes and stalls progress.
- Filling the white buffer slots prematurely blocks the next required ant path.
- Tapping multiple stacks rapidly without waiting causes perimeter traffic congestion.
Quick Tips for Colony Flow! Level 457 (spoiler-free)
- Clear the white dog face completely before touching any red or pink stacks.
- Avoid filling the white buffer slots until the white route is open.
- Wait for ants to clear perimeter paths before tapping the next color group.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- A white dog head pixel art with red/orange stripe background. The bottom shows five rows of stacks: Row 1 (White 40, Black 7, Brown 18, Black 45), Row 2 (White 45, Red 16, Gray 33, Pink 20), Row 3 (Red 45, Green, Orange 33, Pink 35), Row 4 (White 45, Red 16, Gray 25, Orange 40), Row 5 (White 45, Red 16, Gray 25, Orange 50). Five white buffer slots are visible in the middle section.
- Goal
- Route all colored cubes into their matching holes to clear the board. The white dog head must be completely cleared, with white face removed first, then red stripes, then black outline and brown ear details.
- Opening
- Start with White 40 (top-left) to open the white perimeter routes and begin dog face clearance.
- Danger Zone
- Tapping Red 45 before the white face is cleared blocks ant routes to red holes. Filling the white buffer slots prematurely with the wrong color blocks the next required path. Rapid tapping causes perimeter congestion.
- Mechanics
- Multi-stack routing board with perimeter traffic patterns. Requires clearing a large white subject region before accessing the background colors. High stack density with varying counts demands careful route management.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why start with White 40?
It opens the white perimeter routes and begins dog face clearance, which is required before accessing the red stripe background.
Why not tap Red 45 first?
Red 45 is the largest red stack, but tapping it before clearing the white face blocks the ant routes to red holes.
What are the white buffer slots for?
They act as limited staging spaces; avoid filling them until needed to keep the main routes open.
