Colony Flow! Level 473 Walkthrough
Clear the 100-cube rainbow house pixel-art by removing small stacks first to open routing paths, managing the large pink and orange reserves in batches, and saving dark blue for last without deadlocking perimeter traffic.

How to Solve Colony Flow! Level 473 — Full Solution
- Tap green 20 (Row A slot 2) first to open the green route without overwhelming the buffers. The small green 2 (Row C) follows immediately to clear the minor green reserve.
- Tap light blue 22 (Row A slot 1) to begin cyan routing. The light blue 30 (Row C) is cleared in sequence as buffer slots open.
- Tap dark blue 32 (Row A slot 3) to start purple routing. This clears the third buffer slot and begins perimeter traffic flow for dark blue.
- Tap orange 38 (Row B) and wait for the first orange ants to clear before tapping orange 35 (Row B) to avoid congestion.
- Tap pink 45 (Row B) only after orange routes are clear. The second pink 45 (Row D) follows once buffers free up.
- Tap the remaining dark blue stacks (35, 27, 12, 8) in sequence as the last cubes on the board. The perimeter must be clear before the final dark blue batch completes the rainbow house clear.
Colors in this level:
Light blue, Green, Dark blue, Pink, Orange
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Tapping both pink 45 stacks at the same time floods the perimeter and deadlocks all routes.
- Clearing dark blue before pink and orange leaves the perimeter congested for the final batches.
- Tapping large stacks before small ones fills the buffer slots and stalls the board.
Quick Tips for Colony Flow! Level 473 (spoiler-free)
- Tap small green 20 first to open routing without overwhelming buffers.
- Never tap two large stacks (45+) at the same time—clear one color batch fully before starting the next.
- Save dark blue/purple for last as their perimeter route wraps around the entire board.
- Reveal the gray mystery stack early before committing to a routing plan.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- A rainbow house pixel art with diagonal stripes of pink, green, light blue, yellow/orange house shape, and dark blue/purple on a light blue grid. Central counter shows 100. Below the board are 5 white buffer slots. Row A has light blue 22, green 20, dark blue 32, white empty, white empty. Row B has pink 45, orange 38, orange 35. Row C has green 2, light blue 30, gray mystery. Row D has green 2, pink 45, pink 44.
- Goal
- Clear all 100 colored cubes from the board by routing them to matching colored holes around the perimeter. The rainbow house image empties as cubes are carried away. Final clear requires dark blue/purple cubes to be the last color routed off the board.
- Opening
- First tap the small green 20 stack in Row A slot 2 to open a route for green ants without filling all 5 buffers. Immediately after, tap light blue 22 in Row A slot 1 to start cyan routing. The small green 2 in Row C is tapped early to clear a minor color before large reserves are engaged.
- Danger Zone
- The large pink 45 stacks in Row B and Row D flood the perimeter and block orange routes if tapped early. The gray mystery stack in Row C must be revealed before committing to a routing plan. The 5 buffer slots fill quickly if multiple large stacks are tapped before the first batch finishes.
- Mechanics
- Multi-stack perimeter routing on a large 100-cube board. Five colors compete for limited buffer space. The rainbow house pixel art requires clearing colors in an order that prevents perimeter congestion. Ants physically carry cubes around the board edge, creating traffic jams if routes overlap.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the main danger on Level 473?
The two pink 45 stacks total 90 cubes. Tapping them at the same time floods the perimeter and deadlocks all routes. Clear one color batch fully before starting the next.
What is the gray mystery stack?
The gray mystery stack in Row C must be revealed before committing to a routing plan. It may contain a color that affects the overall strategy.
What order should I clear the colors?
Start with small green and light blue, then alternate between orange and pink. Save dark blue/purple for last as their perimeter route wraps around the entire board.
