Much too verbose. Here is a one-liner (given the appropriate terminal):

: .sweetspot  0  #40 2^x 1-  begin  #40 0 do  dup i 2^x and if  swap 1+ dup 3 = if drop 0 swap  i 2^x xor  else swap  endif  endif  loop  dup power-of-2?  until nip log2 1+ . ;

I am sure y'all have 2^x POWER-OF-2? and LOG2 (Classics!).
