Colony Flow Level 23 Walkthrough guides you through one of the game’s trickier puzzle stages, where you need to connect colored flows across a grid without overlaps while managing limited space.
This level introduces tighter constraints than earlier stages, making it easy to box yourself into dead ends if you don’t plan your pipe routes carefully. This walkthrough focuses on the most efficient solve path for Level 23, breaking down which color pairs to connect first and how to route flows around the colony grid’s obstacles.
You’ll find step-by-step moves that avoid common traps, plus tips on recognizing when you’ve taken a wrong turn early enough to backtrack without restarting the full puzzle.
Colony Flow Level 23 Walkthrough
Colony Flow Level 23 is a four-row hamburger puzzle where white, cream, orange, red, green, dark-brown, and yellow ants share a single dirt path.
The board opens with five top-row slots—white 20, cream 24, cream 23, and two empty cells—plus stacks in rows two through four. The rightmost top-row cell acts as a refill buffer.
Clear the cream/white bottom bun first, then the orange top bun, followed by red, green, dark-brown, and yellow. The main trap is filling the buffer cell too early, which strands the orange refill and leaves a visible gap in the top bun.
How to Solve Colony Flow Level 23— Full Solution
-
Tap white 20 in the leftmost top-row cell. White ants walk the dirt path toward the cream/white bottom bun.
-
Tap cream 24, then cream 23 in the second and third top-row cells. Both waves follow the same route and continue clearing the bottom bun. Keep the far-right top-row cell open.
-
Tap orange 20, orange 30, then orange 20 across the third row from left to right. Orange ants clear the large top bun from the bottom up.
-
Tap the orange refill immediately when it rises into the rightmost top-row buffer cell. Filling that slot with cream or green before the refill appears strands the orange and leaves a gap.
-
Tap red 35 in the second row, then wait a beat before tapping the red 11 refill. Both use the same narrow path.
-
Tap green 23 after the red patty is cleared, then tap the green 29 refill when it rises. Green ants share the route with red, so sending them too early causes congestion.
-
Tap dark 35 at the right of row two and any dark refill. This removes the dark-brown outline around the burger.
-
Finish with yellow 23, followed by yellow 18, yellow 26, and yellow 11 as they appear. These clear the small yellow accent beneath the lettuce.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
-
Filling the buffer cell too early: Tapping cream 24 or green 23 before the orange refill rises strands the orange behind active white ants and leaves a visible gap at the top of the burger.
-
Tapping dark 35 or red 35 before the bottom bun is half-cleared: This strands dark and red ants on remaining bun cells and blocks the orange refill waiting in the buffer.
-
Tapping green 23 before the red patty is cleared: Green ants stall on lettuce cells that red still needs to clear.
Quick Tips for Colony Flow Level 23
-
Clear white and cream first. Tap white 20, then cream 24 and cream 23. These three waves clear the wide bottom bun and open the dirt path for the orange refills that follow.
-
Keep the buffer cell open for refills. The rightmost top-row cell receives an orange refill, a red 11 refill, and two yellow refills. The orange top bun only clears if the buffer stays available. Filling that slot with cream or green before the refills rise strands the orange and leaves a gap.
-
Drain bottom layers before middle layers. Clear the white 20, cream 24, and cream 23, then the three orange stacks, before tapping red 35, dark 35, or green 23. All colors use the same dirt path, and premature red, dark, or green tap strands ants on remaining bun cells and blocks the buffer.

Key Challenges in Colony Flow Level 23
Four-row hamburger layout: The board contains an orange top bun, red patty, green lettuce, cream/white bottom bun, dark-brown outline, and a small yellow accent. The large bun layers occupy the most space and must clear first.
Shared-route congestion: Cream, orange, red, dark-brown, and green ants all use the same dirt path. Sending too many waves before earlier layers clear stalls the ants and blocks later stacks.
Refill-dependent flow: The orange refill arrives in the top-right buffer first, followed by red and yellow refills. The level cannot be completed without leaving that space available at the right time.
