Food Hunt Level 969 Walkthrough

Published: 2026-11-13

Beat Food Hunt level 969 by filling the opening five slots with blue 29, light blue 79, light blue 90, light blue 80 and blue 7, then feed the large charcoal boxes as their turns arrive. This 44-box picture shows a grey mouse riding a green crocodile against a light blue background, with framed cheese on the right and numbered wooden panels over the image. Continue through the smaller colors to green 46, which eats the final green pixel.

Orange-brown 28 parks in slot 5, while blue 29 and green 50 can also wait a long time for neighboring pixels to clear. Some boxes arrive frozen, and one white box has a cracked face with no number. There are also gaps with no accessible new color, when slots 4 and 5 can both remain empty despite the general aim of keeping all five spaces useful.

Blue Opening and Green Finish Color Order

Blue and light blue waves, then orange-brown and green, followed by the two charcoal 150 boxes with mauve grey in the middle; finish through orange 21, charcoal 62, green 61, sandy 33, teal 20 and green 46.

The background supplies frequent light blue refills, so several similar-looking arrivals belong to this route. Track their numbers as well as their colors: seven replacements use the same color as the box before them. The charcoal 150 pair is the major outline work, while the final green 46 is a separate closing job on the crocodile. Use the slot assignments in the steps to distinguish a refill from an ant box that is still waiting.

Mouse and Crocodile Solution in Seven Stages

1. Fill the background opening. Put blue 29 in slot 1, light blue 79 in slot 2, light blue 90 in slot 3, light blue 80 in slot 4 and blue 7 in slot 5. Make these five picks consecutively so the exposed background has ants working across the available spaces. The light blue food around the crocodile is already open and is eaten quickly. Establish that opening before moving on to the slower colors beneath it.

Compare the five-slot blue opening with the later release of orange-brown 28 and the unnumbered white arrival. The video also shows the large charcoal passes before green 46 removes the last crocodile pixel.

2. Park the first orange-brown. The first replacements are light blue 99 in slot 1 and orange-brown 28 in slot 5. Orange-brown stays there because neighboring colors cover the food it needs. Extra taps on the parked box will not open that path. Continue using the spaces that are actually free, allowing the background and surrounding colors to expose the waiting patch.
3. Read the unnumbered white correctly. Send green 50 to slot 2, where it waits while light blue clears its route. Light blue 57 goes into slot 3 and sandy 11 into slot 1, followed by another light blue 99 in slot 3. Place the white box with no number in slot 4 as an ordinary white pick. Its cracked face does not turn it into a different action, and the missing number is not a reason to skip it.
4. Release orange-brown 28. Return blue 29 to slot 1 and light blue 90 to slot 3. White 20, sandy 5 and orange-brown 7 then pass through slot 4. Around this part of the sequence, orange-brown 28 in slot 5 finally begins eating as its neighbors uncover the route. That movement is the result of clearing the surrounding pixels, so keep watching the other slots instead of retapping the stalled resident.
5. Give the outline its large boxes. Use slot 5 for teal 1, mauve grey 55 and charcoal 150 as their turns come. White 37 and green 49 pass through slot 2, while light blue 49 goes to slot 3. Across the run, the two charcoal 150 boxes and mauve grey 55 account for about 355 cells, more than a sixth of the picture. Put those large outline runs to work early enough that they can eat alongside the smaller colors.
6. Follow counters through the refills. Continue with green 34 in slot 3, green 41 in slot 1 and pink 17 in slot 2. Yellow 46 goes to slot 3, orange-brown 57 to slot 4 and sandy 45 to slot 5. Seven same-color replacements occur during this level, so an upward jump in the counter is the clue that a new box has arrived. Mauve grey 49 and white 43 finish this refill group; confirm each landing before making the next pick.
7. Close on the crocodile green. The later sequence includes the second charcoal 150, mauve grey 48 and 49, pink 46 and 17, yellow 46, orange-brown 57 and sandy 45. White 43, teal 5 and deep pink 9 lead into the closing run. Finish that run with orange 21, charcoal 62, green 61, sandy 33, teal 20 and green 46. The last falling pixel is green, so the final green box matters even after the large charcoal work has gone.

Check Landings Before Filling a Crocodile Slot

First confirm that a moving box has actually landed. An airborne box can resemble one already sitting in a slot, and acting on that impression can waste a tap. Next inspect the counter: a color staying the same does not mean the old box is still there, because seven replacements repeat a color with a higher number. These visual checks are especially useful around the dense light blue sequence.

The main long waits are orange-brown 28 in slot 5, blue 29 in slot 1 and green 50 in slot 2. Their pixels are obstructed by adjacent colors, and frozen arrivals also need the board to open naturally. When the queue offers no reachable color, slots 4 and 5 may both sit empty. Do not fill that gap at random: another covered color would create an additional occupied slot without helping the ants reach food.
