One strategy for Angry Birds Bad Piggies level 22-1 is to send the first Orange bird through the two ropes in the middle of the level, clearing the right tower and most of the center. Loft another Orange bird barely over the left tower, detonating the left TNT and destroying the rubble. Use one Black bird to destroy the left tower and finish the level. The score in the video below is 114,130.
Minimum 3-star Score: In the original release (v3.0.0), the 3-star minimum was set at 110,800. Rovio has stated that this was a mistake, and in a the v3.1.0 update, the threshold has been dropped to 110,000-even.
At the risk of personal embarrassment, but perhaps for the benefit of all, I entered all my Bad Piggies 19 scores on the leaderboard. Most of them are 1 and 2*, hopefully not for long. But while they last the averages will be low (at least on some levels).
Still 5 left that are not 3*. : (( I’m trying to encourage everyone to enter scores even if low, to keep the averages realistic. This will help those of us enrolled in AB Anonymous.
@MVNLA2 There is seriously an AB anonymous?! Is it a group?
@Sixxygrrl — You bet! There is a forum called AB anonymous. Won’t claim that it has cured anyone yet, though.
I think I have a better method to this level.
1) Launch first Orange Bird so he lands between second and third pig, then inflate upon contact, he should clean up center section including balloon structure.
2) Launch second Orange Bird to strike bottom of upper right structure, then inflate upon contact, the falling debris should kill right bottom pig and detonate right bottom TNT, in 1 out of 7 tries the left side TNT detonates as well.
3) Launch Black Bird at bottom of upper left structure and explode upon contact.
1 Bonus Bird = 10000 Points
Correction for above strat step #1 only, the rest remains the same as above.
1) Launch first Orange Bird so he lands between second and third pig, wait for it to break the wooden wheel then inflate, he should clean up center section including balloon structure.
@werewolf69 When does the TNT on the right explode? I can get the right TNT to blow from the right tower debris. But there isn’t that much debris from the left tower and the TNT is protected pretty well.
@ohforfive,
I’m re-reading your inquiry and I think you’re talking about the left side TNT, not the right side.
It only happens approximately every 7 to 10 tries.
@werewolf69 I’m glad you realize I meant left TNT. I could never get it to blow using your method. Also, I never had falling debris from the second bird; the expansion of the orange bird blew everything to the left.
The first orange I arced onto the gold wrench; it may clip the right balloon. When it inflates, it clears out the right side and when it deflates, it may take out the balloons holding the truck in the middle. If the truck is still hanging, use the second bird to clip any balloons before hitting the bottom of the right tower, inflate on contact. I arced the 3rd bird, the bomb bird, so it came down right inside the tower, landing on the TNT enclosure. The blast cleared everything on the ground. If necessary, use the 4th bird to blow the tower and get the last bird. The points you get vary greatly from one attempt to the next, so hope you get lucky.
I did everything here, it all worked. Yet my score is still only 101K! There was barely anything left. Where is the other 9K supposed to come from. I have never wanted to swear more over a level. If it were allowed here, you would all be running away from your devices, covering your eyes until you could wash the image away at your sink. SO furious!!!
First level but was stuck for a long time. @WereWolf69, your strategy helped, Thanks.
@ayan, you’re welcome, glad I was able to help you.
I tried it this way:
1. High arc let the yb land in the far right corner on top the the golden wrench..inflate manually
2. straight into the midlle part of the left section to let it fall into the middle
3. bb to the bottom of the right strucure..do NOT explode manually so that the debris can fall to the left
think there is more potential in it than 116k..had a lot of debris left
Thanks @gerdl987. For some reason this level has given me fits. Your strat finally got me 3 stars. I plan to revisit this level….never!
Thank you @gerd1987. I almost gave up on this one. I’m with @waimea. Never again.
I guess I shouldn’t say never. It seemed so easy this round. I wonder if they made it easier?
Thanks, you got me three stars. Finally! Did it in style, 123,130.
Awesome. After many, many, many, many attempts replicating the video, I tried your method three times before getting it on four – score = 116290. Thanks!
Came back to this level to try for points beyond my current 120k and gave this a try. Didn’t get beyond 120k, but many times got 2 and 3 birders between 115k and 119k.
I do first bird slightly differently. I aim to just skim over the first tower, let bird bounce against right tower, then let it fall and inflate on it’s own. Frequently the right tower will fall towards the middle. This happens most when the bird hits the small stone in the middle of the tower before falling.
@gerd1987 — Thanks! This strat got me above average on 1st try, after multiple attempts at strats above. I almost restarted, because I didn’t think it would work.
Finally 3* with your method. TFTS.
This is the technique that finally worked best for me on my android phone. Thanks. Never looking back!
Nice approach gerdl – I obtained 12K in points with your approach. Great achievement.
After trying on my own, trying the video strategy, too many times to count, tried yours and – in a reasonable number of tries – finally got 3 stars. Points do seem to depend on some unknowable amount and type of rubble. Thank you.
Never thought I’d 3-star this on my MacBook – thanks!
TY @gerdl987 — this strat worked wonderfully for me. First OB almost completely cleared the middle.
@gerdl987 This strategy seems to be the only way I can consistently get over 110K. Thanks!
Thank you…this was the only way I could get 3 stars!!
Thanks.
I was working on a similar strategy (109k) but you gave the decisive clue: Do not explode the third bird manually.
120.760
Wow! Thanks! Your tactic really did the trick.
First bird similar to video, but I like to hit the right tower in the middle, sending it crashing to the outside, while bird bounces back wiping out the fallen structure.
Second bird to the crack right of the wrench and inflate. This placement can set off both TNTs. In my best effort, it only set off one, but the deflating bird knocked the left tower over for 119k.
After many more attempts, I do not recommend this approach.
After days of trying, finally using your strat got 3 stars thanks
The 3-star threshold for this level is set to 110,800. Please see the disclaimer above the walkthrough video for an explanation on how this will change in the future.

I cleaned up the comments to remove the “hunting”, but I truly appreciate all of the help!
For me this was the most frustrating level of them all. Finally made 3 stars after over 200 attempts – getting over 110.000 enouggh times, but just wanted that third star! My shout of joy must have been heard miles away! Did it with 4 birds:
1) as in the video – bang in the middle (inflating on contact)
2) over the top onto the golden spanner
3) to the bottom of the left tower (exploding manually), this left the left pig on top of the TNT
4) on the left TNT
So far I have found out that a) you need the 3000 points from the golden spanner, b) the right tower has to been destroyed and c) at least one of the TNTs has to explode.
As a guideline you need the following amount of points after the birds:
1 – over 40.000
2 – over 70.000
3 – over 100.000
I will try a 3 bird solution some time soon, but will celebrate with a cup of coffee and them some “Seasons”…..
I did it with one bird! Flung it towards the right golden wrench, and inflated just before it hit, taking out the right tower. When it deflated, it took the middle structure and left tower out. 116,100 points.
Current score of 125k obtained with four birds. No special strategy, just lucky with total destruction. First bird to lower left, igniting TNT. Second bird to lower right, taking out that TNT, followed by a bird each to each tower. I’ve done this many times before, but always with much less success.
Up to 141k now with the first two birds only. This level is much easier than it once was, so no tricky first bird to the inner left was required, Orange bird simply seems to have more umph now. Just fling a tight arc to land somewhere close near the left TNT and hope it blows. Then the second bird to the gold wrench.
Whoa @thetoddman23, 134k!!! I’m not even going to ask how you did it, chances are I wouldn’t be able to duplicate it anyway ;)
Haha, I used a strat that ernor came up with. High arc shot to hit the triangle part of the left wheel in the hanging stucture. Hitting the triangle correctly will bounce the OB off and land on top of the bottom left tnt. A good detonation will cause the tnt to detonate and the left tower to be damanged enough that it will tip over. Next bird to the gold spanner to detonate the other tnt. Third bird a slightly arced shot to the bottom left of the far tower, so it slowly collapses to the left and when the bird is detonated causes debri to go flying.
@bonneypattycat
That is exactly what I have been trying to do, but I have only managed on the first bird to take out the TNT and the tower twice, and then both times messed up the following birds. As I suspected, I probably won’t get it, at least not for some time.
Thanks for the tip aiming for the triangle, maybe that will help :)
Got it! Alas, only 120k. @thetoddman23 ‘s score will be very difficult to beat!
@thetoddman23 Thanks for the post on the alternate strategy. Could not get OB to bounce off the hanging triangle correctly so I high-arc it to bounce off the ground pig-wheel-triangle-area and it went to the left. Took out the left tnt and left tower for 43,740. My aiming tip was to have the white dotted lines go through the second tree trunk from the left in the background group of four tree trunks. This will take some minor adjustments and one should be zoomed out.
Second OB to the gold spanner like you mentioned for 76,430.
Bomb Bird into the base of the right tower for the present score.
Previously obtained 121K with two birds: first OB to the gold spanner which took out the right tower, tnt, spanner and a lot of the stone, wood, etc.; second OB to the left structure.
Wow, great strategy, thanks for sharing it. ;-)
The first bird is really tricky and is the key to really high scores. Here is a screen shot of the trajectory: http://www.imagebb.net/images/ab211bird1.jpg
The idea is to put the ob in the place of the gray wrench.
Timing is very important because of the movement of the hanging structure. For a – somewhat – easier shot you can wait for the structure to stop moving (it takes around 30 seconds).
When everything is going right the left tower is toppling, most of the time to the right, but for my highest score to the left leaving almost nothing on the platform.
At this point the score should be around 72k (adjust if pigs are still alive below).
The second shot is easy and you have two options.
If the right balloon is destroyed, you should aim to the middle of the debris like this: http://www.imagebb.net/images/ab211bird2.jpg
If it is not destroyed it is best to aim at the gold wrench, destroying the right balloon in the process. Again you must time your shot well to deal with the balancing movement.
A 90k+ score is needed to hope for 132k+ scores. I had 93k for my highest score.
For the last shot you have again 2 options depending on a still existing obstacle between the bird and the base of the right tower.
You can aim low (better horizontal debris dispersion) of high above the remaining balloon if you have no choice.
Here is the trajectory and the resulting damages:
http://www.imagebb.net/images/ab211bird3.jpg
And here is the highscore screenshot:
http://www.imagebb.net/images/ab211highs.jpg
Hope it helps.
Another strategy.
1st: on the golden wrench, with high arc taking out 1 balloon, with a little luck the 2nd is taken out by debris
2nd: against the left tower, inflate manually to let the tower drop to the right. aim for the top part of the middle standing stone, the tower should fall as fast as possible to cause the most damage. there should be at most 1 balloon left, no rope, and at least 68k. 70+k is not so hard.
3rd: aim for the bottom of the right tower. don’t detonate manually, wait for the tower to fall to the left, then the explosion will lift the tower and it will crash down.
4th: bonus 10k
I almost never succeed in detonating the left TNT, if that would have happened (by chance) then 130+k is possible.
@chrchr, it’s amazing. Got no more than 1 (one!) star. I am late with playing these levels of BP, cause of the flood of new games from Rovio. This strat doesn’t bring your score, yet, but it is a start. Thanks
I’ve tried most of strategies posted here. Many (I mean it – over 200) times. It was 106K, then it was 108K. Now I stuck at… 110780. I’m going insane…
http://angrybir.de/W3YtV8
Followed @chrchr strategy and had some favorable fall-out. I also had some decent scores with a high arc on the second shot trying to denote the left TNT.
Four bird method for 123,970:
1. First bird, high arc, to left triangle in the suspended wooden wagon. The goal was only to take out the left balloon clear a path for the second bird to fall into the gap in the very middle. Sometimes the bird will take out both balloons, this is fine, but not required of the first bird. Sometimes the first bird will fall into that center gap on the first shot. That’s a bonus.
2. Second bird, exact same trajectory, falling into the gap between the block. Will pop both TNTs when it expands. Must also bring down the second balloon if it did not fall on the first shot. If only the right TNT poops, that’s okay….sometime you can get the left TNT along with the third shot. If the right TNT doesn’t go off or the right balloon has not fallen, start over.
3. Third shot into the bottom block of the left tower. This is a simple shot, will topple it to the left for maximum points. Must also set off the left TNT if you missed it with the second shot. If the black bird breaks the bottom stone and the small stone behind it, you get the left TNT about half the time.
4. Last bird into the bottom stone of the right tower. Do not detonate. Let the tower topple as far as possible and the TNT bid will throw debris further for maximum points.
I found this method has 4 simple, very repeatable shots. I get 115k to 122k is very repeatable. Above 122k is less common depends on how much debris you get. I suspect about 127k is possible with this method.
This method will not yield 134k like the record, but will get you in the top 50.
Sometimes the first bird falls to the left and takes out that TNT. Once it toppled the left tower for me …..which is the start of the method someone described above for a little higher scores. I.e., the method I was working to replicate when I finally gave up and went this route.
I found this level to be a major pain for some reason. The far right tower needs to fall inward which I could never seem to get it to do. I ended up going after the far left TNT first, the far right tower next and finished off the left tower with old blackie bird. I was able to get the points relatively quick doing this method…I must’ve tried the one above 100 times with no better score than 104K
The min. 3-star score isn’t 110k. I got 110.610; however it is still a 2-star score.
Here is the proof: http://tinyurl.com/d2zg7fg
Please read the red text in the post.
Then Rovio still didn’t correct it on PC.
The threshold was fixed in v3.1.0 of ABo. This version has not yet landed for PC.
Thanks for the info ;) Is there any rumor about its release date for PC around?
We don’t have that information, sorry.
I FINALLY got 116k using a mishmash o some of the strats listed above. I couldn’t score past 96k using ANY ONE method, so I kinda just smashed a few together. I tossed the first OB on top of the gold spanner taking out the right balloon and damaging the right tower. The second OB I dropped on the top of the LEFT TNT kind of like @wrw01 by rolling it from the wheel next to the pig, took out right tower and ton of debris including most of the truck thing that was suspended by the balloons. The third bird, first BB, destroyed the right tower and much debris… leaving one bonus bird. For a score of 116k thanks to @wrw01 @MVNLA2 @gerdl1987 and @werewolf69 for your strats they ALL kept me busy retrying this freaking level so I could BE DONE WITH IT!!!!:-)
Okay, I only play to kill time so I am no wher near as good as the others here. So I found the strategy in the video almost impossible. I just couldn’t get the orange birds to detonate the TNT and knock over the towers. But after reading the posts and watching the birds I found this strategy worked best for me and got me about 121k.
1) Send the first Orange bird through the two ropes in the middle of the level, inflating on impact with right tower. This should clear the right tower and most of the center.
2) Loft another orange bird over the left tower, into wherever the most wood has piled-up, hopefully detonating the TNT and destroying the rubble.
3) Use one black bird to destroy the left tower and finish the level
Wow, these scores are really easy on a full sized computer. Let’s see you do this on an iPhone.
@dody Is your score of 146k a typo?
@admins
Nope. Not a typo. I’ve looked at it several times to make sure I wasn’t making a mistake. 146,160 on 22-1. If it helps, I can probably provide a screencap.
Following up on my last post because I sense some doubt. I too find a lot of these scores too high to be true. All of a sudden I got one and that’s when I starting posting my scores. On this level, I had been getting in the low 130,000’s on my best scores. The 146,160 was a huge jump that I don’t really understand. Once again, the scoring seemed to be illogical. Although I knew it was going to be a new high for me, it didn’t seem like there was enough destruction to get that many more points. I do have a couple of theories. (Forgive me if I’m repeating what’s already obvious or common knowledge, but I’ve never read anything on these boards before). Total destruction of all objects, of course, is the goal on most or all levels — not killing all the pigs with the least number of birds. On all levels, it seems that total destruction is not possible. There’s always a problematic area that is left relatively untouched even with the highest scores. I’m thinking the developers have a point system that focuses on how many objects remain undestroyed. Bonus points get substantially higher the closer you get to 0 objects left undestroyed. For example, instead of getting the standard 500 points for destroying a brick, they might give 5000 points for the same type of brick if it’s unusually hard-to-get in addition to killing off all pigs. Destruction in these areas is what gets the big points that lead to the scores that seem impossible. Maybe that’s what happened in my game. I just lucked into destroying a few of those objects that most people never get. Just my theory. I could be completely wrong.
Anyway, my “strategy” on 22-1 is generally the same as what chrchr posted in January of 2013. The first airbag bird needs to go deep into that lower-right crevice where the gold wrench is. How you get there isn’t important. What IS important is the collateral damage caused by the deflating airbag. If the right column does not tumble after the first shot, I start over again. Destruction of that column (on the first shot) is necessary for a high score (130,000+). For the second shot, I tried hitting the outside of the left column and activating the airbag at the moment of contact, but found more success with lofting the airbag just over the left column. Ideally, the bird will roll into the area where the gray wrench is before inflating. The explosion, or the deflating airbag, needs to take out the left column and hopefully detonate the left-side TNT. I don’t care about the hanging balloon things. The deflating airbags usually take those out.
IMO, this is a “two-shooter” level. It’s possible to take out all the pigs on the first bird, but there won’t be enough collateral destruction to result in a high score. I’ve been as high as 133,000 using three birds, but I think it has to be two for 140,000+.
While writing this, I re-played the level several times to make sure everything is correct. While doing so, I managed to score a new high, 146,770. The first time I tried to enter that, the website game me a rejection message saying the score was too high. Second attempt was allowed. Screencaps are very easy to photochop, so for whatever it’s worth, here it is:

Sorry for the long post. Wouldn’t blame anyone for not reading it.
@dody Sorry for not following up sooner, I just now noticed your post. Thank you for responding and sharing.
That is an amazing score! Congratulations!
There are quite a few levels in ABO (classic) that have recently produced higher scores. This might be one of them. I will add it to the list here as a “possible”
https://www.angrybirdsnest.com/forums/topic/abo-levels-worth-another-try/
@admins Will someone please fix my link above? I accidentally got the “edit” address in there. Thank you!
@bonneypatcat, fixed. ?
Yep, this level has certainly changed. It used to be difficult for me to get much above 120k, my highest was 125k. Within a short time had numerous slightly higher scores without trying very hard.
Great strat. Thanks. The first shot is pretty straightforward and I have scored 80k with it. I was having trouble with the second not causing the damage required as there is an element of luck involved when it lands. I reversed the order and if it didn’t come off I reset. Also got 133k using 3 birds so there’s more in this. Thanks again @dody
I used the more difficult trajectory for the 1st bird, that means to destroy first the left part.
Then the right part with the second bird.
https://www.angrybirdsnest.com/members/bastieroxxor/album/picture/16734/
it has become easier after update AB (classic)
2-Birder
first bird high arc, target is the golden wrench, self activate.
Bird break the right tower
second bird high arc, the target is the pig over the left tnt, activate, before bird hit the
stone under the pig.
the tnt exploded and the left tower break.
thx all for the good details

Note to players with AB Original version 6.1.2: Don’t be tempted to “Watch a video to improve your aim for the next 10 minutes.” Doing so will activate the Mighty Scope power up for 10 minutes of play, and scores achieved with Mighty Scope are not eligible for the Underdog badge. To avoid having to close the video pop up every time you start a level, we recommend playing in airplane mode.
Clicking that add is sooo tempting, just to make it go away for ten minutes
Before you play the game, use airplane mode then start ABO. You shouldn’t get any popups.
It’s very annoying to have to ‘X’ the popup every time you start or reset a level, so that’s why I use airplane mode. Then, when I get the desired underdog score, I make my screenshot of the tally screen, turn airplane mode off, then enter my score in the leaderboard and upload my screenshot.
@admins I still can not enter my scores on the site. I get a message {“Msg”: You have to enter a score.”}This happens with my Android tablet, a windows 7 computer and a windows 10 computer. I am starting to worry that I have been banned or blocked. This started about 6 days ago.Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks for your help.
@hoy49 Same here, on my MacBook Pro and my iPad.
A couple of others are reporting the same issues on the “All Things in the Nest” forum, under “Bugs in the Nest”.
@hoy49 @bonneypattycat Yeah, I’m having a heck of a time figuring out this issue because I can’t recreate it. If you go to the end of https://www.angrybirdsnest.com/forums/topic/bugs-in-the-nest/page/ we’re discussing it.
