Food Hunt:Pixel Puzzle Level 401 Solution Walkthrough - Game Answer Hub

Tips

1The largest exposed edge colors are Brown, Purple, and Pastel Pink; those boxes are usually the safest early picks.
2Keep one of the five waiting slots open before staging inner colors such as Black, Yellow, and White.
3This layout has match 3 boxes 18, swap boxes 10, switch boxes 5. Let matching colors clear reachable pixels before opening more queue heads.

Steps

1Compare the queue heads first: Purple 25 / Pink 18 / White 10 / Pastel Pink 26 / Beige 20 (Match 3). Pick a head whose color already appears on the exposed edge.
2Use Brown, Purple, and Pastel Pink boxes to remove the outer shell and create paths into the picture.
3Once new pixels are exposed, alternate with Black, Yellow, and White boxes instead of filling all five slots with blocked colors.
4When a box empties and leaves a slot, use that opening to advance another queue head with a currently reachable color.
5Finish by spending the remaining boxes in the queue order, checking that each staged color can immediately clear pixels.

This Level 401 guide is generated from the extracted level configuration. It is a configuration-based strategy: use the queue order below to decide which boxes are safe to stage, and keep a free waiting slot so blocked colors do not fill all five spaces.

Recommended Strategy

Start with boxes matching the exposed edge colors: Brown, Purple, and Pastel Pink.
Avoid filling all five waiting slots with colors that are still buried inside the picture.
Use each emptied slot to bring forward the next queue head that can clear visible pixels.
Save deeply buried colors such as Black, Yellow, and White until the outer layer has been opened.
After the major exposed colors are cleared, follow the queue order to finish the remaining pixel groups.
