How to Solve Colony Flow! Level 686 — Full Solution
- Start purple 40 and purple 25, then add purple 30 as the third active stack.
- Load charcoal 25 and charcoal 22 into the fourth and fifth slots to cut the wing outline while the purple background drains.
- After a slot clears, route white 27, then red 24 and red 20 for the face patch and branch.
- Send green 33 into the belly and alternate purple 45/30/28 batches with the exposed charcoal 10/20 stacks.
- Clear the smaller magenta, white, green, and red details before starting the late purple 40.
- Drain the final purple border and charcoal specks, then wait until the parrot frame and all five slots are empty.
Colors in this level:
Purple, Black, White, Red, Green, Pink, Blue
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Loading white 27 into the already-full opening tray makes it wait without reaching the face patch.
- Running every remaining purple stack together leaves no slot for the short green and magenta details.
- Using the late purple 40 before the bird details are exposed stalls the cleanup behind one long background batch.
Quick Tips for Colony Flow! Level 686 (quick clues)
- Keep the first five stacks in the recorded order.
- Use white 27 only after a purple slot opens.
- Alternate purple and charcoal after the opener.
- Save the late purple 40 for the top border remnant.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Side-facing parrot with a magenta head, white face, green belly, charcoal wing, red branch, and broad purple background. The reserve includes purple 40/25/30/45/28 groups, charcoal 25/22/10/20 stacks, white 27, red 24/20, and green 33.
- Goal
- Remove the purple field and charcoal outline, then clear the white face, green belly, magenta head, and red branch until the picture frame and tray are empty.
- Opening
- Run purple 40, purple 25, purple 30, charcoal 25, and charcoal 22 as the first five-slot wave.
- Danger Zone
- Adding white 27 or red 24 before one opener finishes traps a useful detail color behind five still-active background and outline stacks.
- Mechanics
- A plain-stack parrot mosaic with no lock, key, counter, link, or mystery tile; success depends on full five-slot waves and alternating background with detail colors.
