Colony Flow Level 1224 Walkthrough Solution & Guides | How to solve Colony Flow 1224

Colony Flow Level 1224 throws a beautifully detailed potted plant right into the middle of your screen. You have to break down a massive light blue background before you can even touch the delicate flowers and thick brown pot. I found this board heavily relies on managing massive number blocks without clogging up your waiting slots. You need to keep a steady stream of ants moving at all times to survive and conquer this puzzle.

Colony Flow Level 1224 Overview

What You Are Working With

The picture shows a large brown pot holding a green leafy plant decorated with bright yellow and orange flowers. A dense grid of light blue tiles completely surrounds the plant acting as the sky background. Your tray is packed with very high value blocks early on. You will see light blue blocks holding forty and thirty eight. You also have large dark green and light green blocks for the plant leaves. Later in the tray you will encounter heavy connected boxes. Several brown blocks link together to form a massive chain that you must manage carefully.

What It Takes to Clear Level 1224 Board

Clearing this board means peeling the picture away like an onion from the outside in. You must strip away the light blue sky first to give your ants plenty of walking room. Once the sky falls away you can attack the green leaves and the brown pot. The biggest threat is the connected box mechanic. Pulling a linked chain fills multiple waiting slots at the exact same time. If your ants do not have a clear path to the colors in those linked boxes your board will jam and you will fail. You clear the level by ensuring every block you pull matches a fully exposed tile on the picture. Keep at least one slot open at all times to prevent a dead end.

Colony Flow Level 1224 Step by Step Solution

Step 1: Clear the huge light blue background grid to create walking paths

You need to open up the board immediately by attacking the light blue tiles that make up the massive sky background. Look closely at your tray and locate the light blue blocks holding the very large numbers of thirty four and forty. Pull one of the forty blocks into your waiting slots at the bottom of the screen. The ants will pour out of the nest hole and march up the sides of the board to eat away the sky tiles. Do not pull every light blue block at the exact same time. You always want to keep at least two waiting slots completely empty. Let the number on your first block drop down significantly before you bring up the next thirty four block. This steady pace keeps the ants moving efficiently without risking a slot jam if they suddenly hit a tight corner they cannot easily reach.

Step 2: Chip away at the light green outer leaves to expose the center

With the sky starting to thin out the outer edges of the plant become exposed and ready to eat. Find the light green thirteen block and the dark green twenty five block in your tray and pull them up. The ants will branch off from the background and start munching on the soft outer leaves on both sides of the plant. Pulling these green blocks early is a very safe move because the leaves stick out far from the main stem. The ants have direct access to these tiles from the open sides of the board. You will watch the green shape shrink inward toward the middle. This gradual clearing exposes the bright yellow flower petals hidden closer to the center of the plant.

Step 3: Manage your first connected chain of blue and green blocks

Your tray contains a connected set linking a light blue block to a dark green twenty one block. This is where your waiting slot management becomes critical. Tapping either of these blocks pulls the entire chain into your tray. Wait until the ants open a clear path to the darker green leaves near the middle of the plant before you touch this piece. Once you confirm the dark green tiles are exposed you can safely pull this chain into the open slots. The ants will split their focus perfectly across the board. One group will finish off the leftover background tiles while another group tackles the newly exposed dark green stems. Your slots will empty out evenly and keep the game flowing perfectly.

Step 4: Attack the top rim of the heavy brown pot to open a new front

The base of your picture is a giant brown pot that blocks the entire bottom section of the grid. You cannot clear the pot from the bottom up because the tiles are packed way too tight against the floor. Instead you must attack it from the top rim. Pull the brown twelve block into your tray. The ants will march straight down the middle and begin devouring the top edge of the pot. Clearing this top layer is absolutely required right now. It breaks the solid shape and creates multiple entry points for the ants to reach the deeper layers of brown tiles later on.

Step 5: Send your colony to eat the yellow and orange flowers

The top half of your plant now shows several yellow and orange flower heads completely out in the open. Your tray has a yellow fourteen block and an orange six block ready to go. Make sure the green leaves blocking the flowers are completely gone before you pull these bright colors. Send up the yellow fourteen block first and watch the ants climb. The ants will march all the way to the peak of the plant and clear the yellow petals. Once the yellow number drops low bring up the connected orange six block. The orange tiles sit right next to the yellow ones. Your ants will transition smoothly between the two colors without wasting any travel time.

Step 6: Deploy the massive connected brown chain to demolish the pot

This is the most dangerous moment of the entire level and requires total patience. Your tray holds a massive chain of three connected brown blocks carrying the numbers twenty six thirty two and eighteen. Pulling this huge chain fills three of your five waiting slots instantly. You absolutely must wait until the pot is completely exposed from all sides before you touch this chain. If you pull it too early the ants will bottleneck at the top rim and your slots will jam causing a massive fail. Once the board is wide open around the base pull the chain. A massive swarm of ants will descend on the pot. Watch the huge numbers tick down rapidly as the solid pot dissolves into nothing.

Step 7: Clean up the remaining dark green inner stems

The massive brown chain will take a long time to clear out completely. While the ants are busy tearing down the pot you can manage the top half of the board. The plant is now reduced to a few dark green skeletal stems floating in the middle. Pull the dark green two block and the light green five block into your remaining open slots. Having these small numbers running at the same time as the massive brown chain is a very smart strategy. It keeps your ants constantly busy on both halves of the screen. The ants will quickly snap up the last green pieces while the main group continues working hard on the dense pot base.

Step 8: Clear the final scattered brown pieces of the pot

The giant brown chain will eventually run dry and leave just a few loose brown tiles scattered near the bottom of the screen. Your tray will offer smaller single brown blocks to finish the job. Bring these up one by one into your slots. Do not rush and pull them all at once. The ants have very little walking distance left because the board is mostly completely empty. They will grab the closest brown pieces and bring them back to the nest in a flash. Just monitor the remaining shapes and ensure you only pull a brown block if you actually see that color left on the board.

Step 9: Sweep the last remaining tiles to finish the level

You are now looking at a nearly blank screen with only a tiny fraction of the original picture left. A few stubborn light blue background tiles might remain floating near the very top edges. You also have a tiny yellow two block left in your tray. Pull the remaining light blue blocks and the final yellow block into your slots to clear these final stragglers. The ants will make one last long trek to the top corners of the screen to eat the final pieces. Keep your hands off the tray and just watch them finish the job. When the final tile vanishes the level ends and you claim your victory.

Final Thought

Colony Flow Level 1224 tests your patience with those incredibly heavy connected blocks. You always have to look ahead and prepare the board by opening a clear path before you pull any massive chain into your tray. If any of these written steps feel confusing or hard to picture I highly recommend watching the video above this article. Seeing the exact timing in motion makes understanding the slot management much easier. Good luck building your massive colony and keeping those paths wide open.
