Brain Test Level 226 Walkthrough & Answer
Level 226★★★★★
Guide by LevelWalks
When I ran through Brain Test: Tricky Puzzles myself, Level 226 was one of the puzzles where I had to put the phone down and think for longer than I wanted to admit. The walkthrough below is what I worked out, plus the reason the trick works.
## Question
**Brain Test Level 226:** Help the ant carry food 10x its weight
## Answer
Drag the '10x' text from the question and place it on the ant to power it up.
## Step-by-Step Walkthrough
The ant is too small to carry the large food item. The text '10x' in the question is interactive — drag it onto the ant. The ant gains 10x strength and easily lifts the food.
Here is exactly how to solve Brain Test Level 226:
1. Read the question carefully — Brain Test loves wordplay and misdirection.
2. Look at every element on screen, including the question text itself.
3. Drag the '10x' text from the question onto the ant to give it super strength.
4. If you are stuck, remember that Brain Test rewards lateral thinking over logical answers.
## Why It's Tricky
Question-text interaction is a well-established Brain Test mechanic by now, but each new variation still catches players. The '10x' functions as a power-up when removed from its textual context and applied as a game element.
## Why This Level Is Tricky
You're in the advanced zone now. These levels frustrate even veteran Brain Test players, so getting stuck is completely normal. The key insight for difficulty 4 is that the answer often involves doing something the game hasn't explicitly asked you to do. Think about what's possible, not just what's prompted. Late-game levels (151-300) frequently require device interaction — tilting your phone, using multiple fingers, shaking the device, or manipulating screen elements outside the puzzle area. Think beyond the touchscreen for these multi-step solutions.
## Common Mistakes
Players frequently make these errors on Level 226:
- Applying real-world logic to a puzzle that rewards absurd lateral thinking.
- Overlooking small UI elements like the level counter, hint button, or settings icon, which sometimes play a role in the solution.
- Assuming the puzzle has only one interactive element when multiple objects might need to be combined.
Tips
- The game's interface (buttons, text, counters) can be manipulated as puzzle elements.
- After 100+ levels, sometimes the trick is that there IS no trick. Accept simple answers too.
- Remember: Brain Test Level 226 has a difficulty rating of 4/5 — it requires advanced lateral thinking.
