Colony Flow Level 940 presents an intricate board shaped like a giant watermelon slice resting on a plate against a broad cyan background. Your main challenge is navigating the dense layering of food tiles without clogging your five waiting slots. Success requires carefully clearing the perimeter background first so that your ants can reach the rind, flesh, and seeds within.

When you open this stage, the playfield features a massive pixel art watermelon slice sitting across a golden yellow base. Surrounding the entire fruit is a wide frame of light teal background tiles, dotted with four pointed yellow sparkle designs. The watermelon itself is constructed with multiple distinct layers. The outermost curved base consists of light green and dark green rind tiles. Above the green rind sits a soft pink transition band, which leads directly into the thick crimson core of the watermelon flesh. Scattered throughout the red center are dark seeds that remain trapped until the surrounding fruit is consumed.

Beneath the main board lies the ant nest, flanked by the five crucial waiting slots and your supply tray. The tray holds stacks of color blocks showing numbers such as 24, 25, 26, and 28. In the starting layout, you have immediate access to teal, green, and red blocks on the top layer of the tray. However, your ants cannot fly directly into the center of the board. They emerge from the nest and must walk through open territory. Because the teal background wraps around both the left and right flanks, almost all paths to the upper watermelon and background sparkles are completely cut off at the start. The main obstacle is this physical barrier. Tapping blocks whose matching colors are locked behind other tiles will cause those blocks to sit completely idle in your waiting slots, rapidly causing a game over.

The winning approach on this stage revolves around an outside in peeling strategy. Teal must be your primary focus in the opening phase. By sending teal ants up the left and right edges, you carve open wide transit lanes. These lanes allow ants to access the side borders of the watermelon slice and reach the upper background.

Managing your five waiting slots dictates every choice you make in the tray. You can afford to hold one or two temporarily stalled blocks if tapping them reveals a desperately needed color underneath, but you should never fill four or five slots with dormant colors. The correct color order transitions logically from the teal perimeter into the green rind, then inward through the pink borders, deep into the dark red flesh, across the isolated dark seeds, and finally down into the yellow foundation. By maintaining clear access routes and timing your block picks to match exposed surfaces, you will keep the ants continuously marching without ever stalling your queue.

Begin the stage by selecting the teal blocks available in your bottom tray. You will see values such as teal 25 and teal 26. Tapping these sends waves of light cyan ants pouring out of the nest. Because the center of the board is blocked by the lower plate and rind, the ants naturally stream out toward the lower left and lower right corners. They immediately begin eating away at the light teal background tiles along both bottom borders. As these tiles disappear, your teal block counts begin ticking down rapidly. This initial move creates the foundation for the entire puzzle by opening the first clear paths up the left and right sides of the watermelon slice.

Continue feeding teal blocks into your waiting slots to keep the outer clearing process going. The teal ants work their way upward along both flanks, gradually exposing the outer edges of the red watermelon flesh, the tips of the green rind, and the yellow sparkle clusters in the upper corners. While teal ants are actively running, you can pull a light green 24 or red 25 block from the tray if doing so uncovers another useful teal block below it. The green or red block will sit in a waiting slot momentarily. Because the teal ants are steadily chewing away the background, your waiting slots remain safe, and path access toward the fruit continues to expand with every bite.

With the lower corners cleared of teal background tiles, the ends of the watermelon rind are now exposed and ready for consumption. Tap the light green and dark green blocks in your tray. Green ants charge up from the nest and latch onto the rind, eating from the outer edges toward the center. As the green numbers count down toward zero, the rind gradually shrinks. This action is critical because the green rind directly walls off the yellow plate below it and the pink fruit layer above it. Once the green blocks complete their work, they vanish from your waiting slots, leaving plenty of room for the upcoming interior colors.

Now that the green rind is broken and the outer flanks are completely open, select the pink blocks and the dark red blocks. Pink ants head toward the lower border where the rind used to sit, as well as the angled edges of the watermelon slice. At the same time, dark red ants begin attacking the newly accessible outer portions of the red flesh. Watch your numbers drop from the twenties down into single digits. By running pink and red blocks in tandem, you carve away the outer shell of the watermelon, widening the open floor space and exposing the deeper layers of the fruit.

Maintain continuous pressure on the red flesh by tapping additional red blocks from the tray. Your red ants swarm into the center of the fruit, rapidly devouring the bulk of the watermelon. As the thick red meat disappears, the small dark seed tiles become fully visible and isolated. At this stage, you must also monitor the upper section of the board. The top band of teal background still contains a large number of tiles. Introduce another teal block into the queue so teal ants can finish chewing through the upper sky while your red ants finish clearing the middle section of the board.

With the surrounding red flesh eaten away, the dark seeds are now completely freestanding on the playfield. Tap the dark blocks that have been uncovered in your bottom tray. Dark ants move swiftly into the newly created gaps in the watermelon core, targeting and consuming each seed one by one. Because the paths leading straight into the center are entirely clear, these dark blocks clear out very quickly. This step eliminates the interior clutter, ensuring that no stray tiles remain trapped in the middle of the board.

Step 7: Clear the yellow plate and remaining background tiles

With the watermelon flesh, rind, and seeds completely removed, the only remaining elements on the board are the golden yellow plate along the bottom and any residual tiles along the upper background. Select the yellow blocks from your tray. Yellow ants rush across the bottom of the board to devour the wide plate foundation, while others collect the yellow sparkle tiles scattered across the upper field. Pair this with your final teal block to clean up the very last pixels of the background. As the yellow and teal blocks reach zero, the ants finish off every single food tile on the board, successfully completing the level.

This puzzle is won or lost based on how you manage physical access routes. Colony Flow requires ants to travel across open spaces from the nest to reach matching food. The watermelon artwork is designed as a set of nested barriers. The yellow plate and green rind block the bottom, while the wide teal background wraps tightly around the sides and top. If you try to select yellow, red, or dark blocks at the start, those blocks will simply sit in your waiting slots unable to do anything, because the ants cannot reach the interior tiles.

By starting strictly with teal, you take advantage of the only immediately available food along the lower flanks. As the teal borders vanish, they create wide highways along both sides of the screen. This allows you to introduce green, pink, and red blocks with complete confidence, knowing that the ants have an unobstructed route to reach those colors. The rind disappears next, which in turn unlocks the pink and red flesh, which subsequently isolates the seeds. Every move directly enables the next move in a clean chain reaction.

Queue safety is the other pillar of this walkthrough. You only have five waiting slots, and allowing them to fill with blocked colors ends your run instantly. By keeping at least two slots actively clearing at all times, you ensure a steady turnaround. When you must pull an inactive block to reveal a needed color underneath in the tray, the active blocks guarantee that slots will open up before a total jam can occur. Following this strict order of teal, green, red, dark, and finally yellow keeps your slots fluid from the opening move to the final tile.

Patience and perimeter control are what make Colony Flow Level 940 completely manageable. As long as you resist the urge to tap inner watermelon colors prematurely and focus on clearing the surrounding teal frame first, your ants will always have an open path to march along. If you find yourself unsure about which block to draw next during a tense moment, take a quick look at the video above the article to verify the exact board state and ant pathing.
