Colony Flow Level 489 Answer Key, Walkthrough & Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

This loading order was computed from the web level layout with a reachability-first strategy: always feed the ants colors they can actually reach, and never let all 5 slots fill with blocked colors. Tap hidden “?” cubes only when you have slot room to absorb a surprise color.

Load the cubes in this order, letting the ants work between picks. Unless noted, a cube's tiles are fully reachable when you send it.

1. Send the Aqua 23 cube.
2. Send the Aqua 12 cube.
3. Send the Aqua 37 cube. Only ~21 of its 37 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
4. Send the Orange 20 cube.
5. Send the Orange 50 cube. Only ~23 of its 50 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
6. Send the Blue 22 cube. Only ~14 of its 22 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.
7. Send the Purple 18 cube. Only ~16 of its 18 tiles are open at this point — park it in a slot and let the surrounding colors clear the rest of the way.

Finish without boosters for 3 stars and bonus coins. If the board jams anyway, a Shuffle or Vacuum booster is the cheapest way out.
