Colony Flow Level 52 is a challenging puzzle stage where cyan and pink flows must fill a sunglasses design on a yellow background, with both lenses, the gray frame, and yellow background all starting from a single shared ant hole.
The key mechanic here is timing: cyan openers need to complete the left lens before the pink flow’s 25-tile opener can begin filling the right lens, making sequencing critical to success. This walkthrough breaks down the exact move order, opener priorities, and flow paths you need to clear Level 52 without wasting moves.
You’ll learn which tiles to target first, how to manage the shared starting point, and where players typically get stuck so you can avoid common mistakes.
Colony Flow Level 52 Walkthrough
Colony Flow Level 52 is a sunglasses-on-yellow-background board where the cyan left lens, pink right lens, gray frame, and yellow fill all share one ant hole. Timing matters more than speed—leave one beat between waves to prevent ants from blocking the route.
Start by opening the cyan left lens with the cyan 26 and cyan 25 stacks. Then tap the pink 25 to begin the right lens before moving through the gray frame and yellow background. Keep the fifth-cell white buffer pad free for late pink refills and cleanup.
How to Play Colony Flow Level 52 - Full Solution
-
Tap the cyan 26 in the far-left cell of the active row. Wait for the first cyan ants to clear the dirt path toward the left lens.
-
Tap the cyan 25 in cell 2. This continues clearing the cyan lens. Do not select cyan 39, pink 25, gray stacks, or yellow stacks yet.
-
After one beat, tap the pink 25 in cell 4 to start the pink right lens. Pink and cyan share the same route, so avoid sending them together.
-
Tap the cyan 39 in cell 3. This finishes the cyan lens and its white highlight cell. Let the wave clear before releasing source-row stacks.
-
Drain source row 2 in order: gray 25, gray 30, then gray 35. These stacks clear the top sunglasses frame. Leave one beat between each release.
-
Drain source row 1: yellow 25, yellow 30, then yellow 30. The yellow stacks fill the remaining background once the gray frame traffic is gone.
-
Keep the empty white buffer pad available for the late pink 25 and pink 22 refills from source row 3, along with any small cleanup stacks.
Common Mistakes
Firing the gray 35 too early strands gray ants on remaining frame cells while the lenses are still clearing, blocking the yellow background waves.
Tapping yellow30 stacks while pink ants are walking the dirt path strands yellow ants on background cells behind active pink traffic.
Letting the pink 25 refill rise before the gray 35 frame wave clears blocks the pink 22 cleanup wave and leaves remaining right-lens cells uncovered.
Quick Tips
-
Tap cyan 26 and cyan 25 before touching pink 25. The left cyan lens must be at least half-cleared before the pink right lens wave enters the dirt path.
-
Drain cyan 39 after the pink 25 wave starts but before any gray source stack rises. Cyan 39 is the largest cyan opener and must finish the left lens before the gray frame wave is allowed to rise.
-
Save the empty white buffer pad for pink 25 and pink 22 refills from source row 3 plus late small cyan, gray, and yellow cleanup. Filling it with a yellow 30 source click strands the pink cleanup waves.
Which stack should I tap first?
The safest opener is cyan 26 at the far left of the active row, then cyan 25 in cell 2, then pink 25 in cell 4, then cyan 39 in cell 3. This clears the left cyan lens and starts the right pink lens before any gray or yellow source stack is allowed onto the dirt path.

Why does the gray 35 stack clog the route?
The gray 35 in source row 2 column 3 is the largest gray wave on the board. The dark gray frame bar only sits in positions that are still open while the cyan and pink lens waves are clearing. A premature gray click strands gray ants on remaining frame cells and blocks the yellow 30 background waves that have to rise after the frame is cleared.
