Food Hunt Level 709 Walkthrough
Start Food Hunt level 709 with dark grey, then use the available orange shades and yellow to uncover the robin and its nest of light blue eggs. Work through the 11 colors by opening their surrounding layers. Save the enclosed reds and the eggs until their surrounding pixels have been eaten.
The main problem is the number of colors that cannot work immediately. Red, dark red, light blue and both pale orange shades begin completely surrounded, while dark grey has a large hidden portion despite being your opening choice. Loading several of these boxes together leaves too little room to uncover their neighbors. A spider on a web and numbered wooden plaques are also visible over the picture.

Answer Key for the Robin and Its Hidden Eggs
Dark grey first; orange, yellow and medium orange as offered; both pale orange shades after their neighbors clear; green and dark teal toward the later stages; light blue once the nest opens; red and dark red last.
Use this sequence to judge what can work from the queue at the bottom. It is not a command to load every shade as soon as you see it on the robin. Medium orange provides an especially useful opening because nearly all of it is accessible, whereas the two pale orange shades need their covering colors removed first. Yellow and green help move the queue while dark grey continues its longer job. Light blue belongs to the eggs, so its place depends on the nest becoming reachable rather than on how clearly you can recognize the eggs in the picture.
Robin Walkthrough: Open the Nest Before the Reds
- Give dark grey the first slot. Choose dark grey at its first available turn in the queue. Its 17.9% share of the board makes it the largest color here, so it needs an early start on its exposed pixels. About 52% of that color is hidden by others, which explains why its counter will not reach zero in one uninterrupted pass. Let the ants eat the accessible portion while you use the remaining space for colors that can open more of it.
Video walkthrough of level 709
The level 709 video follows the dark grey opening, the orange and yellow work around the nest, and the late light blue eggs. Watch how the red detail waits for its surrounding colors before the final red pixel disappears.
- Work through the orange openings. Take orange and medium orange when they become available below the picture. Medium orange is 98% exposed, with only 2% covered, and can release its slot much sooner than the enclosed shades. Orange has some pixels beside the closed red areas, so part of its work may pause. Feed these shades in turn instead of filling the available spaces with several similar-looking boxes that still need their neighbors removed.
- Bring in yellow and green. Use yellow and green in the slots released by the orange stage. Their ants can keep chewing without waiting for the grey and red areas to finish completely. This lets dark grey continue in the background while the lower queue advances through accessible colors. Leave at least one opening for the next useful box rather than using every position for a color that has no route yet.
- Expose both pale orange shades. The two pale orange shades start with all their pixels enclosed. Placing either one early commits a slot before its ants can reach the picture. Wait for the neighboring layers to disappear, then bring these shades into play as their access opens. At that point they can clear quickly, so delaying them is more useful than having them sit idle beside the long-running dark grey box.
- Reach the nest and the eggs. Handle dark teal as its box comes forward in the queue. Light blue is a different case because its eggs are entirely surrounded by the nest area. Check that the pixels around those eggs have been eaten before choosing light blue. Once the approach is clear, the light blue ants can reach the egg pixels and bring their box down to zero instead of occupying a slot without progress.
- Clear the final red detail. Red and dark red belong to the closing stage because both begin fully blocked. Red is hemmed in by dark grey, orange and four additional colors, so several neighboring areas must disappear before it can finish. Add the red shades once those routes are open and let their ants remove the remaining detail. The final pixel in this level is red, after the surrounding robin and nest layers have been cleared.
Five Slots, Two Different Reasons for Waiting
Count the occupied slots before diagnosing a stalled counter. With five positions available, the practical limit is no more than two enclosed boxes waiting at once. An early light blue egg box plus both pale orange shades can tie up space before you reach the colors that free them. Prefer an exposed area offered by the queue, and preserve a place for the next box that can actually chew.
Dark grey and red can both look inactive, but they are waiting for different reasons. Dark grey is large and has roughly half its pixels hidden, so it alternates between reachable work and covered patches. Red starts completely enclosed by dark grey, orange and four more colors. Continue opening those neighbors instead of treating their stationary counters as instructions to tap the same boxes again.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you beat Food Hunt level 709?
Open with dark grey and use orange, medium orange, yellow and green to uncover the robin. Keep room across the 5 slots instead of loading the enclosed pale orange shades and light blue eggs together. Finish the accessible nest layers before red and dark red.
Which color should go first on level 709?
Dark grey is the opening choice because it accounts for 17.9% of this board. Start it when offered, then let the quicker medium orange area work alongside it; that shade is 98% exposed.
Why does the red box sit without making progress?
Red has dark grey, orange and 4 other colors around its pixels. The ants need those neighboring areas cleared before they can reach the enclosed red detail. Its late movement fits the robin solution.
What should I do when the slots are full?
Light blue and the 2 pale orange shades are likely waiting for access if you selected them early. For the remaining sequence, keep no more than 2 enclosed boxes waiting together and favor the exposed orange, yellow or green work offered below.
When can the light blue eggs be cleared?
Light blue is one of the 11 colors, but its egg pixels are completely enclosed at first. Clear the surrounding nest pixels before committing that box. Its ants can then reach the eggs instead of waiting through the earlier orange and dark grey work.
