How to beat Food Hunt: Pixel Puzzle Level 196 — full solution
- Tap the front Grey 40 and Yellow 20 jars from the top row to begin peeling the lower frame. As lower slots open, tap incoming Yellow and Grey jars. By the end of this opening rush, the bays hold Grey, Purple, Yellow, White, and Orange jars eating the exposed base.
- Allow the front Yellow and White jars to deplete completely. Tap exposed Brown and Blue jars as they uncover in the grid. The bays now hold Brown 2, Blue 19, Grey 4, and Orange 14, stripping the lower rim and exposing the cyan cup beneath.
- Let the active Brown and Orange jars finish stripping the lower border. Tap incoming Cyan and Yellow jars from the front row. Orange 13 and Grey 4 remain active in the bays while the ants finish the yellow edging and expose the creature's cheeks.
- Tap Cyan, Yellow, and Lilac jars to clear the exposed cup body and face. By now all five bays are filled with Orange 4, Beige 10, Grey 4, Lilac 10, and Brown 10, with ants actively stripping the hamster's facial features.
- Let the facial pixels clear to free up bay space, then tap exposed Beige, Yellow, and Orange jars. The bays hold Orange 2, Beige 2, Grey 4, Yellow 6, and Beige 2, dismantling the hamster's snout and uncovering the deeper blue hood.
- Clear the remaining facial beige and yellow pixels so bays do not deadlock. Tap the incoming Blue 12 and Grey 5 jars. The bays hold Orange 1, Beige 10, Grey 4, Blue 12, and Grey 5, and the Plank drops to two hits remaining.
- Tap the Hammer 48 jar and incoming Cyan jars. The hammer ants deliver hits to smash the Plank completely, destroying the barrier. The bays fill with Blue 44, Blue 41, Grey 23, Cyan 15, and Cyan 7, targeting the upper hood and teacup rim.
- Allow the large Blue and Cyan swarms to strip the upper cup structure. Tap the final Brown jar from the grid. Only Blue 5, Blue 10, Cyan 9, and Brown 1 remain in the bays as the last edges of the hood are eaten.
- Tap the final Grey 42 jar from the bottom of the grid. Ants clear the last dark pixels along the upper rim to complete the level.

Moves that cost you the level
- Tapping Blue or Cyan jars early in the solve → those colours are buried under the grey and yellow outer rim, so the jars stall in the bays and cause an immediate jam.
- Ignoring the Hammer jar once uncovered → the Plank blocks critical bottom pixels from being eaten, leaving later jars unable to finish.
Quick tips for Level 196
- Work from the outer bottom layers inward; the creature's face and hood cannot be eaten until the outer grey and yellow shell is gone.
- Keep at least one bay open while cycling through face colours (Beige, Brown, Lilac) to avoid filling the rack with stalled jars.
Board breakdown5 notes
- Layout
- The picture shows a small creature nestled inside a blue teacup, with a 3-hit Plank anchored across the bottom center. Beneath the bays, the jar grid displays three rows of four jars, hiding deeper layers underneath.
- Goal
- Clear all pixels of the picture by matching jars to exposed colours and smash the 3-hit Plank using the Hammer jar.
- Opening
- Tap the front-row Grey 40 and Yellow 20 jars to peel the lower exterior border, immediately revealing the inner jar layers.
- Trap
- Large Cyan and Blue jars appear early in the grid layers but their pixels are mostly trapped behind the animal face and upper rim. Tapping them before the face is cleared locks down the bays.
- Mechanic
- The wooden Plank starts at 3 and requires hammer strikes delivered by the Hammer jar to break before the underlying pixels can be targeted.
Level 196 questions
-
How do I break the wooden plank in Level 196?
Uncover and tap the Hammer 48 jar in the grid. Its ants gather pixels to swing the hammer and reduce the plank's counter to zero.
-
Why do my blue jars stop eating pixels early in Level 196?
Blue pixels form the upper hood and cup body, which are blocked by outer grey, yellow, and beige face pixels. Clear those colours first.
