Colony Flow Level 137 presents a vibrant floral challenge that tests your spatial planning and color coordination from the very first tap. You face a massive blooming lotus blossom set against a thick border of yellow food tiles, demanding careful path clearing to reach the inner petals. Managing your five waiting slots while dealing with locked tiles and connected blocks requires a deliberate order of operations.
Colony Flow Level 137 Board Breakdown
Starting Colors and Blocks
The pixel art board displays an elaborate water lily blossom composed of deep blue, bright cyan, sky blue, and emerald green food tiles, all resting on a solid background of bright yellow food tiles. The nest sits directly below the artwork, positioned adjacent to the lower yellow border. Because the yellow tiles surround the entire blossom, every other color remains completely sealed off at the start. Your ants cannot reach the green leaves or the blue petals until you carve a passage through the yellow barrier.
Below the board, the block tray holds multiple rows of numbered colored blocks. The top visible row includes Green 29, Light Blue 38, Yellow 42, Blue 35, and Light Blue 40. Beneath these starting options, several deeper rows hide essential values including multiple yellow blocks, additional blue blocks, and paired tiles. Understanding that yellow must be cleared first is the fundamental concept for opening the entire layout.
Paths, Obstacles, and Limited Space
The primary obstacle on this board is the perimeter layout. With yellow tiles encasing the lotus, sending ants of any other color too early will cause those blocks to sit completely idle in your waiting slots. You have only five waiting slots at the top of the tray. If all five slots become occupied by blocks that have no open food paths, the colony halts and you instantly fail the puzzle.
In addition to the restricted pathways, the tray features connected boxes and a locked block. The connected boxes are tied together by colored bridges, meaning uncovering and moving them involves handling paired colors together. Lower in the tray, a yellow block marked with a padlock icon obstructs an entire column. You must clear the tiles covering the matching key blocks to release this locked piece and keep the lower rows flowing smoothly.
Colony Flow Level 137 Complete Solution
Step 1: Deploy Yellow to Pierce the Outer Border
Begin by selecting the Yellow 42 block from the top row of your tray. Because yellow food tiles sit directly above the ant nest, the yellow ants immediately surge forward and start devouring the lower perimeter tiles. Watch the block number rapidly drop as the workers carve an opening into the bottom edge of the board. As the lower yellow tiles vanish, the first emerald green leaf tiles and the outer edge of the cyan petals become visible. You can now also take the Green 29 block into a waiting slot, knowing its path will open shortly.
Step 2: Carve into the Right Petals with Light Blue
With the lower right edge of the lotus exposed, select the Light Blue 38 block and place it into an open waiting slot. Cyan and light blue ants march toward the right side of the flower, chewing through the outer petals. This movement reduces the Light Blue 38 down toward the low thirties while your yellow ants continue finishing their initial run. By opening the right flank of the blossom, you create a wide corridor that connects deeper blue petals directly to the colony nest.
Step 3: Introduce Blue to Deepen the Breach
Now that the right petal cluster has lost its outer shell, select the Blue 35 block. The blue ants enter the newly cleared corridor and begin dismantling the darker petal contours on the right half of the flower. The Light Blue block counts down past 25, while the Blue block quickly drops toward 19. Meanwhile, your Yellow 42 completely empties and leaves the waiting slots, freeing up valuable room for your next choices.
Step 4: Clear the Lower Leaves with Green
Select the Green 29 block that was waiting on deck. Green ants stream toward the base of the flower to chew through the horizontal green leaves that support the petals. As the green food clears, you expose the central stem area and reveal even more interior blue and cyan tiles. Bringing in a fresh Cyan 30 block allows the ants to feast on the lower center petals, rapidly shrinking the bottom half of the artwork into scattered fragments.
Step 5: Release Connected Boxes in the Tray
Look down into the tray where your earlier picks have exposed connected boxes. Two blue blocks linked by a sturdy bridge must be addressed. Move these connected blue boxes into your active rotation as the inner petal layers open up. The ants chew through the dark blue outlines in tandem, draining both connected values simultaneously. This synchronized clearing prevents the tray from jamming and exposes the deeper rows beneath them.
Step 6: Unlock the Padlock Block with the Key
Dig down the left side of the tray where the yellow padlock block sits. By clearing the preceding numbers, you uncover the key block situated near the bottom. Collecting this key releases the padlock on the yellow block, transforming it into an active, usable piece. Place this newly freed yellow block into your slots so that yellow ants can begin eating through the left and top outer borders of the board.
Step 7: Push Through the Upper Left Blossom
With the left side of the flower now accessible through the newly cleared yellow border, select the remaining cyan and light blue blocks from the tray. Ants swarm the upper left petals, tearing away the medium blue and cyan clusters. The Green counter drops down to single digits and finishes completely, eliminating all green tiles from the board. Your waiting slots now hold low numbered cyan and yellow blocks, leaving plenty of empty space to absorb incoming colors.
Step 8: Clear the Core Petals and Outer Ring
Bring in the final Dark Blue 17 and Yellow 21 blocks. Dark blue ants march toward the remaining crown petals at the top of the flower, while yellow ants spread along the very top edge of the board. Because both paths are wide open, neither block stalls. Watch the remaining petal tiles disappear from top to bottom, leaving only a thin yellow frame along the upper corners.
Step 9: Consume the Final Yellow Food
Select the final Yellow 19 and Light Blue 22 blocks to mop up the last fragments. The light blue ants consume the final inner highlights, while the yellow swarm clears the top horizontal strip of food tiles. Every counter reaches zero, the board empties completely, and the level is won.
Key Moments in Colony Flow Level 137
The Move That Opens Up the Board
The critical turning point occurs when you clear the lower right yellow perimeter and immediately deploy Light Blue 38 followed by Blue 35. Many players hesitate and try to clear all the yellow tiles around the entire flower before touching the petals. That approach fills your waiting slots with duplicate yellow blocks and leaves no room for the necessary inner colors. Carving directly into the right petals early creates an expansive breach that lets multiple colors work at the exact same time.
Finishing the Remaining Food
The endgame succeeds because you manage the deep blue and cyan petals before trying to clear the very top yellow border. By leaving the top yellow edge until your blue numbers are small, your blue ants finish their work without being blocked by lingering background tiles. Once the entire flower core is erased, the remaining yellow ants have an unobstructed run across the top of the board, allowing you to empty your waiting slots cleanly.
How to Avoid Getting Stuck on Level 137
The biggest danger on this board is pulling green or blue blocks into your waiting slots before the outer yellow food has actually been consumed. Because the lotus blossom is completely encapsulated by yellow tiles at the beginning, ants of other colors cannot walk through the barrier. If you fill three or four waiting slots with blue and green blocks while waiting for yellow to finish, a single delayed path will completely lock your board and cause an instant loss.
Another major hazard involves the connected boxes in the lower tray. When two boxes are linked together, selecting one brings both into play. If you unlock them when their matching color paths on the board are still narrow or blocked, you will waste two of your five waiting slots on stagnant numbers. Always verify that the path to the dark blue petals is wide and active before you activate those linked blocks.
Finally, keep a close watch on the yellow padlock block on the left side. Do not ignore the column holding the key. If you burn through all your open yellow blocks before releasing that locked piece, you may find yourself with leftover yellow food on the board and no accessible yellow blocks in the tray. Work your way down to the key steadily so that the final yellow numbers become available right when you need them.
Final Thoughts
Patience and strict color sequencing are the keys to mastering Colony Flow Level 137. By dismantling the lower yellow perimeter first, branching into the right petals, and carefully timing your connected boxes, you keep your waiting slots open and maintain a continuous flow of busy ants. If you find yourself struggling with the timing of any particular move, be sure to watch the helpful video walkthrough above this guide to see the exact block selections in action.
