Colony Flow Level 33 Walkthrough Solution & Guides | How to solve Colony Flow 33

Welcome to Colony Flow Level 33 where you tackle a giant bitten popsicle. You face a mix of standard colored food tiles alongside some tricky tray mechanics like hidden boxes and connected blocks. I play every single level myself to find the absolute safest route through the puzzle. This particular board requires careful tray management to keep your ants moving without filling up your limited slots. Follow my moves below to clear the board smoothly without ever dead ending your progress. I will guide you through exactly which colors to pull and when to pull them.

Colony Flow Level 33 Overview

What You Are Working With

The picture on this board is a bright red popsicle with a large bite taken right out of the top left corner. The shape features a solid red center surrounded by a dark black outline that keeps your ants out of the middle. A bright yellow stick sits at the very bottom right of the shape. A white shadow edge runs along the left side of the popsicle and lines the inside of the bite mark. Light orange tiles fill all the background space surrounding the main picture. Down in your tray you will find standard numbered blocks in white red light orange yellow and black. You also have hidden boxes marked with question marks. These keep their true color a secret until they move. Later in the tray you will run into connected boxes where two blocks are securely linked together and must move as a pair.

What It Takes to Clear Level 33 Board

To win you must feed all the colored food tiles on the board to your ants. You do this by pulling numbered blocks from the tray up into the five waiting slots at the bottom of the screen. The ants immediately stream out of the nest hole and travel to the matching colored tiles. Each time an ant eats a single tile the number on your active block goes down by one. When a block reaches zero it completely disappears from the waiting slot. You lose the level if all five waiting slots fill up with blocks and no ants can reach the matching colors on the board. You clear the level by completely eating the popsicle and all the background tiles without ever dead ending your board.

Colony Flow Level 33 Step by Step Solution

Step 1: clear the yellow stick and outer edges to open up the board.

Your very first move is to tackle the bright yellow stick pointing toward the bottom right corner of the board. Pull the yellow fifteen block from the tray up into your waiting slots. This instantly sends a stream of ants to munch through the entire stick section. You also need to start working on the white border and the light orange background tiles at the same time. Pull the white twenty two block and the white twenty four block to clear the white shadow along the left side. Bring up the light orange thirty five block to thin out the background. This combination of different colors keeps your ants spreading out in multiple directions instead of bunching up in one spot. Keeping multiple paths open across the board is the best way to prevent a sudden jam. The ants will systematically eat through the tiles and count the numbers down until those blocks completely vanish from your screen. You will notice the white shadow slowly disappearing from the bottom up. This creates a wide empty lane on the left side of the screen for future ants to travel through.

Step 2: reveal the hidden boxes to keep your tray organized and visible.

With the initial top layers of the tray removed you will expose the mysterious hidden boxes. These blocks have large question marks printed on them and you cannot tell what color they are until they have a free path to move. As the ants finish eating the yellow stick and the white border your waiting slots will open back up. Use this newly freed space to pull a few of the top layer red and light orange blocks. This action unblocks the hidden boxes in the tray and reveals their true colors to you. Some of them turn out to be more white and red blocks that you will need very soon. Always reveal hidden boxes as soon as you have some breathing room in your waiting slots. You absolutely need to know what colors you are dealing with before the board gets too crowded and you run out of safe moves.

Step 3: attack the black outline around the main popsicle shape to gain entry.

Now that you can see your upcoming blocks clearly you must focus on the dark border separating the red interior from the empty background. You will find a black twenty five block and a black three block available in your tray. Pull the black twenty five block up into a waiting slot. The ants will march up the right side of the shape and begin eating away the black outline tiles. You must clear these black tiles quickly to give your ants access to the huge pile of red tiles sitting inside the popsicle. Pull a light orange nineteen block alongside the black block to keep the ants working on the background at the exact same time. Balancing the colors you pull ensures you do not fill all five waiting slots with blocks that have no clear path forward. The black tiles form a protective wall around the center. Once you punch a hole through that dark wall your ants can bypass the outer edges completely and focus entirely on the interior.

Step 4: flood the red interior with high number blocks to shrink the center.

The black outline is now broken and the ants have a totally clear road straight into the red center. The center of the popsicle contains a massive amount of red tiles packed tightly together. Pull the red thirty one block and the red twenty nine block into your open waiting slots. Watch as a huge swarm of ants rushes into the core of the shape. Because the red section is so incredibly large these high number blocks will count down very fast. The ants have plenty of surface area to attack from multiple angles. Keep a close eye on your waiting slots as the red blocks disappear one by one. You want to immediately replace them with more red blocks from the tray like the red thirty eight and red thirty five. Maintaining a steady flow of red blocks is strictly crucial to shrinking the heavy center as quickly as possible.

Step 5: manage the connected boxes to avoid filling your slots and causing a jam.

Deep in the tray you will encounter the tricky connected boxes. These are a white block and a red block joined together by a strong visual link. When you pull one block you automatically pull both of them into your waiting slots. This specific move takes up two slots instantly. You must make sure you have at least two completely empty slots before you touch them. Ensure your ants have clear access to both white background tiles and red interior tiles before making your move. Pull the connected pair up. The white block will send ants to clean up the remaining white shadow tiles near the top left bite mark. The red block will direct ants to continue eating the remaining red interior. Because both colors have wide open paths the numbers will count down together and free up your slots safely without causing a loss.

Step 6: clear the remaining background and bite mark area to isolate the shape.

The board is now mostly empty except for a large chunk of red in the top left corner and some scattered white and light orange tiles around the far edges. Pull the light orange sixteen and the white twenty five blocks into the slots. This clears out the final background sections on the right side and near the bottom edge. The ants will rapidly wrap around the empty spaces and finish off the entire outer shell. You must keep the path to the top left corner completely clear of any stray obstacles. Pulling these background colors right now prevents them from clogging your tray later when you need to focus entirely on the final red pieces. Your ants will sweep the outer perimeter clean and leave only the core popsicle shape remaining on the board.

Step 7: finish the final corner and clear the very last tiles to complete the puzzle.

You are now down to the final few blocks in your tray and a small cluster of red and black tiles resting in the top left corner. Pull the last black twenty four block to remove the final pieces of the dark outline blocking the top edge. Once that dark outline is completely gone pull the remaining red thirty five block and the red thirty three block. The ants will swarm the top left corner and rapidly eat away the last tiny bit of the popsicle shape. You will have one stray light orange block left sitting in the tray. Pull it up to clear the very last background tile on the screen. The final numbers will hit zero and the ants will all return safely to the nest hole located at the bottom of the board. Watching the very last pixel vanish gives a great sense of satisfaction. The board is now completely clean and you have successfully beaten the level.

Final Thought

Clearing this huge popsicle shape requires patience and a really good eye for managing your tray. Revealing the hidden boxes early and planning ahead for the connected boxes makes all the difference in keeping your waiting slots totally clear. Always remember to balance your pulls between the main shape and the background colors. If you find yourself getting stuck or if any specific move feels tricky to follow in text you can always watch the video above this article. Seeing the ants clear the paths in real time will help you deeply understand the exact timing for pulling your blocks. Good luck with the next puzzle on your list.
