Colony Flow Level 244 presents a dense pixel art face packed with distinct color zones that can easily overwhelm your tray if you rush. To solve this puzzle, you need to open pathways from the bottom mouth upward while carefully balancing which blocks enter your five waiting slots. Maintaining free slots throughout the run is your single highest priority, because letting the tray jam halts your entire swarm.

The puzzle opens with a large yellow square face featuring bright green cheek spots, large white and light blue cartoon eyes, black eyelashes, and a wide black smile exposing white teeth and a red tongue. The bottom nest sits directly under the mouth, meaning your initial ants must dig through the lower yellow chin and mouth outline before reaching interior details.

Two large patches of Hidden Food sit on the left and right cheeks, disguised as grey squares with question marks. These food tiles remain locked and unreachable until your ants chew away the neighboring yellow tiles along their borders. Down in your block queue, you have standard numbered blocks in yellow, black, red, green, white, and light blue. You will also notice a yellow Connected Box and a grey Hidden Box marked with a question mark sitting deeper in the queue. The main obstacle is the sheer volume of yellow tiles surrounding delicate pockets of red, white, and blue. If you grab high numbered yellow blocks without leaving room for the smaller accent colors, your five waiting slots will lock up and end your run immediately.

Success on this board comes down to peeling away layers from the bottom up while keeping at least two waiting slots open whenever possible. The mouth contains red and white tiles trapped behind black and yellow barriers. If you pick colors that cannot find a straight path to their target food, those blocks sit idle in your waiting slots and block incoming options.

Your overall order must prioritize breaking the yellow chin, engaging the black outline of the smile, and releasing the red tongue and white teeth. Once the lower center is hollowed out, the ants gain vertical corridors to reach the eyes and the upper facial features. You also need to deliberately reveal the Hidden Food patches on the cheeks by stripping away surrounding yellow tiles, allowing those mystery tiles to turn into accessible colors before the tray runs out of matches.

Begin by selecting the yellow blocks from the front of the queue to send your yellow swarm directly into the bottom edge of the face. The nest sits centrally, so the yellow ants immediately begin carving out the chin area beneath the mouth. As those yellow chin tiles vanish, the bottom black boundary of the smile becomes exposed.

Pick the black 30 block to deploy black ants against the lower smile border. Having both yellow and black ants chewing at the bottom creates a wide opening that leads directly into the mouth cavity. Watch the numbers count down on your yellow blocks. As soon as one empties, it leaves an open slot in your tray, giving you the breathing room needed to bring in the next necessary color.

With the lower black outline partially consumed, the red tongue inside the mouth becomes fully exposed to incoming ants. Select the red 29 block from the queue. Red ants will stream straight through the newly created chin gap and start eating the tongue.

At the same time, keep feeding yellow blocks into the waiting slots to widen the chin opening toward the left and right sides. The red block counts down quickly because the tongue is a compact cluster. Let the red ants finish their work completely so that the red block leaves your waiting slots before you introduce more delicate colors like light blue or green.

Now that the red tongue is cleared, the white teeth and the upper black line of the mouth need attention. Select the black block and another yellow block to maintain momentum along the lower jawline. Your black ants will finish off the teeth outlines and the curved corners of the grin.

Clearing these black tiles is critical because it creates open lanes straight into the teeth. As the yellow ants strip away the cheeks below the Hidden Food zones, you will notice the lower border of the grey question mark tiles starting to become accessible. Make sure you do not grab any block whose food tiles remain walled off. Keep your slots focused only on yellow, black, and the emerging white teeth.

Once the mouth is cleared out, select a white block from the queue to start eating the teeth and the lower edges of the eyes. White ants will rush up through the center of the face, devouring the teeth and carving a path right into the large white eye sockets.

As soon as the white sclera around the pupils opens up, bring the light blue block into your tray. Light blue ants will travel along the white corridors to begin eating the blue irises. Because the irises are completely enclosed by white and black tiles, sending light blue ants before clearing enough white would have jammed your tray. Now that the path is open, both white and light blue blocks count down side by side without taking up unnecessary waiting space.

As you dig deeper into your tray, the yellow Connected Box will become available alongside the mysterious Hidden Box. Tap the yellow Connected Box to trigger the linked yellow swarms. They will automatically coordinate to devour large swaths of the remaining yellow face, particularly around the mid cheeks and forehead.

Around this time, your yellow ants eating near the sides will clear the adjacent tiles bordering the Hidden Food on the cheeks, transforming those grey question mark tiles into normal colored food. In your tray, the Hidden Box will reveal its true color once its target food on the board has an open route. Pull this revealed block into your waiting slots to keep the ants chewing through the newly exposed cheek food.

With the center face and eyes mostly eaten away, select the green 25 block to direct green ants toward the clusters of green freckles on the cheeks and upper corners. Since the yellow tiles around them have been stripped down, the green swarms have direct, unobstructed lines to every green patch.

Simultaneously, select the black blocks that target the thick black eyelashes and pupil centers. Black ants will climb through the hollow eye sockets to eat the pupils and the expressive lash lines above the eyes. Monitor your five waiting slots closely here. You should have green, black, and remaining yellow blocks active, leaving at least one or two slots empty to catch whichever block drops next.

The final phase leaves only the top yellow border, the upper corner spots, and the tips of the eyelashes. Bring the final high value yellow blocks and any remaining black or green blocks into your tray. Your swarms will spread across the top rim of the board, chewing away the forehead from left to right.

Because all internal obstacles and Hidden Food tiles have already been dismantled, the remaining ants encounter zero blockages. The yellow swarm sweeps through the top corners, the black ants take down the last lash pixels, and the remaining blocks in your tray rapidly hit zero. Once the final yellow tile is consumed, the level clears successfully.

The primary reason players get stuck on this level is premature block selection. The face looks like a giant field of yellow, tempting you to tap whatever yellow blocks show up. However, the yellow tiles wrap tightly around the mouth, teeth, eyes, and cheek spots. If you fill your waiting slots with yellow blocks while the paths to interior colors remain blocked, your tray runs out of room before you can clear the barriers.

Starting from the mouth creates a natural chimney right through the middle of the board. Clearing the black smile line and red tongue first allows the white and light blue swarms to travel directly north into the eyes. Without that central chimney, white and blue ants would have no viable path, meaning any white or blue block sitting in your waiting slots would be completely useless dead weight.

Handling the Hidden Food patches on the cheeks requires equal patience. Trying to guess what lies beneath the grey question marks is unnecessary when you simply eat the adjacent yellow tiles. Peeling back the yellow borders naturally unlocks the Hidden Food, seamlessly integrating those tiles into your active color routes.

Managing the five waiting slots demands that high count blocks share space with quick, low count blocks. When you pair a large yellow block with a smaller red or white block, the smaller block finishes quickly and disappears. That constant turnover ensures you always have an open slot to accept the next critical color, avoiding the deadly full tray deadlock that ruins so many attempts.

Patience and path creation are the secrets to mastering this puzzle. By carving out the chin and mouth first, you establish wide pathways that let every accent color reach its destination without stalling your swarms.
