Colony Flow Level 247 Walkthrough Solution & Guides | How to solve Colony Flow 247

Colony Flow Level 247 presents a delightful pixel art mouse holding a chunky piece of cheese. You will need to carefully manage your tray slots because the path starts out very restricted and narrow. We will break down every phase of the puzzle so you know exactly which colors to pull and when to pull them to keep your board moving smoothly.

Colony Flow Level 247 Overview

What You Are Working With

The board features a large pixel art mouse constructed from several distinct colors. You can clearly see pink feet and inner ears. There is a large white belly and white sections inside the ears. The main body of the mouse is brown with a dark brown outline that defines the shape. The mouse holds a chunky piece of orange cheese near its lower left side. Above the mouse head there are two bright red question marks. The entire background behind the mouse is a solid field of light green tiles. The nest hole is located at the absolute bottom center of the screen. The tray at the bottom provides blocks in orange, white, pink, green, black, brown, and red. You have exactly five waiting slots to hold these blocks. Managing these five slots is the core challenge of the game.

What It Takes to Clear Level 247 Board

To win you must clear every single tile from the board. The ants start their journey from the bottom center and can only reach the lowest exposed tiles first. You must open paths by matching the lowest available colors right near the nest. As you clear the bottom edge you can slowly reach the cheese, the belly, and the feet. Once the lower sides open up, your ants will stream up the left and right edges to tackle the ears and the floating question marks. You will absolutely lose if you pull blocks that the ants cannot reach causing your five slots to jam completely. The key strategy is pulling blocks only when a clear unbroken path exists to their matching tiles. This ensures your ants are always busy and your slots continuously clear out to make room for new blocks.

Colony Flow Level 247 Step by Step Solution

Step 1: Open the bottom edge of the mouse figure.

You begin the level with the nest at the bottom center and the lowest tiles sitting right above it. You need to target the pink feet, the orange cheese, the white belly, and the dark brown outline to get things moving. Pull a pink block, an orange block, a white block, and a black block into your slots. I refer to the dark outline as black for simplicity based on the block color. The ants will immediately stream out of the nest and start eating the pink feet, the white belly, and the lowest parts of the cheese. The dark brown outline tiles at the very bottom will also clear away as the ants reach them. This action opens up the entire lower section of the board and gives your ants much more room to maneuver. You still have one completely empty slot left which keeps you completely safe from jamming early on. Keeping one slot open is always a smart habit.

Step 2: Clear more of the lower body and the surrounding green background.

With the absolute lowest tiles gone, the ants can now reach the light green background tiles on the bottom left and bottom right corners. Pull a green block into your slots to take advantage of this new access. You can also pull another white block and another pink block to keep working on the upper parts of the belly and the feet. The ants will divide their attention naturally. Some groups will march left and right to eat the green border along the bottom edges. Other groups will continue moving straight up into the white belly and the rest of the orange cheese. Watch the numbers on your tray blocks drop rapidly as the ants consume the matching tiles. This continuous flow of busy ants prevents your slots from staying full and keeps the board progressing smoothly.

Step 3: Push up the left and right sides of the board.

As the green background clears away from the bottom corners, the ants gain full access to the outer sides of the mouse. The cheese on the left side becomes completely exposed on multiple edges. Pull another orange block to let the ants finish off the cheese entirely. Pull more green blocks to keep the ants eating the background all the way up the sides of the screen. You will soon notice the ants marching in long continuous lines up the left edge and the right edge. This is exactly what you want to happen. By clearing the green tiles on the sides, you peel back the layers protecting the upper parts of the mouse. This exposes the outer edges of the ears and creates a path toward the question marks at the top of the board.

Step 4: Target the red question marks at the top.

Once the ants reach the top left corner, they can finally touch the red question marks. Pull a red block into your slots right now. Since the path is completely open, the ants will quickly climb the left wall and start eating the red tiles. Do not pull the red block until you actually see the ants reach that top area. If you pull it too early, it will sit in your slot uselessly and block you from pulling other needed colors. Pull a black block as well to chip away at the dark brown outline around the upper ears and the top of the head. Timing your block pulls based on exactly where the ants are standing is the best way to prevent a dead end scenario. You always want the ants to have immediate access to the colors you select.

Step 5: Work on the pink and white inner ears.

The sides of the mouse head are now wide open and fully accessible. The ears have large distinct sections of pink and white tiles. Pull a pink block and a white block from the tray to send the ants deep into the ears. They will stream into the left ear and the right ear at the exact same time. The numbers on your white and pink blocks will decrease rapidly because there are many of these tiles available for the ants to grab. You can also pull another red block to finish off the remaining parts of the question marks. Keeping a diverse mix of active colors ensures your ants are always moving in different directions. This spreads out the colony and ensures your slots never get stuck waiting on a single tight pathway.

Step 6: Clear the top green background.

The ants have eaten most of the side borders and are now spreading across the top green background area. Pull a large green block from the tray to fuel this progress. The ants will swarm the top edge and eat away the remaining light green tiles above the mouse head. This leaves only the main brown body and the dark brown outline remaining on the entire board. You will see a few scattered red or pink tiles left around the ears so monitor your slots carefully. As long as you have tiles of those colors exposed, the ants will finish them off without any trouble. Clearing the background completely gives the ants an incredible amount of space to surround the remaining central tiles.

Step 7: Consume the brown body and the remaining outline.

The final phase involves clearing the solid brown body of the mouse and the rest of the dark brown outline. Pull your brown blocks and your remaining black blocks into the tray. The ants now have a completely wide open board with no restrictions. They will attack the brown body from all possible sides. The top, the bottom, the left, and the right are all easily accessible to the colony. The ants will quickly devour the thick brown tiles and the remaining dark outline. The numbers on your brown blocks will count down to zero very fast because the ants can grab so many tiles at once. Once the last brown tile vanishes, the board is completely empty and you win the level.

Final Thought

Level 247 teaches you the true importance of patience and precise timing. By slowly opening the bottom edge and deliberately pushing up the sides, you create a massive surface area for your ants to work with later on. Never rush to pull colors that are trapped deep inside the picture before the ants can reach them. If you follow this steady methodical progression, you will keep your slots moving smoothly and avoid any frustrating stuck boards. If you find any part of this written guide hard to picture or difficult to execute, I highly recommend watching the video above this article to see the exact timing in action. The visual demonstration will clarify exactly how the ants move and when to make your pulls.
