Our strategy for Mighty Hoax level 5-15 is to fire the first Yellow bird horizontally into the lower wooden plank holding the stone block. This should expose a path to arc a Yellow bird or two into the two remaining pigs. For extra damage points, take out a plank from the right side. The score in the video below is 62,250.
Version 2022:
I used the same strategy as on this video for first bird and I launched second bird on the same trajectory as the first. That was enough to kill all the pigs and to make 73640 for this level. But it was far from the first attempt.
The goal to get high scores here is to have one bird left and to have made the right half collapse.
Your review is so simple, yet so precise, @kartflyer. Here’s the more complicated one :
1. Aim the first Yellow a bit lower than the official video so it’ll only destroy a pair of wooden and glass rectangular block (even better if it also destroys the wooden plank just below said blocks) without inflicting any damage to the other plank above the blocks. The undamaged plank will then act as a “forklift” and throw everything above it (including killing 2 top-most pigs) down the left. This shot should also destroy 2 glass blocks (glasses are bad for Yellow) in the way to helmet pig. Notice that in the official video, one of the glass block, albeit damaged (with 1 undamaged wooden block), is still getting in the way while the other one sliding down the left last.
2. Fire the second Yellow slightly higher directly at the helmet pig as it usually won’t die by falling debris, largely thanks to whoever made it’s helmet. I mean pig leader (mmm, it sounds quite familiar somehow), old grandpa pigs, nasty freckled pigs, even monstrous huge pigs are okay, but helmet pigs?! Come on, Rovio. Get real!. Fine, back to business. It’ll best if the right side of the structure remains unscratched for the time being. We’re going to need as much blocks as possible to fall down the “already-messy” left side.
3. High-arc the third Yellow so it’ll dive just barely to the left of the remaining right side, hitting the wooden plank to the top right of last pig, and rolling down to kill the pig. Us? Well, just watch and wish for favorable collapse… :D
Thank you @BirdJo for a nicely detailed strategy. I did get my 78K score attempting your strategy, but I had such good destruction from the second bird, with the right side collapsing in quite completely, I only had to clean up with a horizontal shot to get the last pig and a bit of debris.
@birdjo I dunno that kind of “favorable collapse” you mean! Because lest bottom row is undestroyed, there is no enough room for making reasonable damage from & to falling blocks. All I get by your’s 3rd turn is few destroyes blocks and score around 70k. Seems better score can be obtained only with 2 bird solution (skip your’s 2nd turn).
Similar to the great strategy from @birdjo with a couple of modifications.
1st shot the same, to take out the bottom wood & glass blocks & the plank between them. You want a good collapse of everything off to the left. A good score is 28k+, my highest was 32k.
2nd on a slightly higher trajectory but aiming at the bottom half of the helmet pig, so yellow carries on to destroy the wood & glass blocks to the right of it. If you find the sweet spot the yb can go further & damage or destroy the next pair of blocks. The right side should collapse & the falling stone blocks hopefully do a lot of damage.
If you’re lucky you’ve got a pretty clear path to the last bottom pig. The 2nd shot can destroy or crack the glass just above & left of this pig making the shot even easier.

@bonneypattycat is this level on your list? I’m thinking it’s a new & improved one.
2 birds ty @birdjo and @karen68 for tips and strategy. Took out plank above bottom blocks then aimed for plank behind helmet pig. Didn’t take ‘high score’ photo as I didn’t realise I had a puppy
Link for @kelani and @sweetp – thanks
https://www.angrybirdsnest.com/members/windwalker/album/picture/16320/
This score was achieved with 3 birds, the first two as before, the third was shot high and driven through the remaing pig and debris
Go for it kid lol
wow less than 30 goes , 3 birds like @windwalker ( thanks for the heads up Ma xx) on fire u are ..
Thanks @birdjo for the strat , and the crazy sexy @karen68 ( i dont get out much Karen ) lol

@karen68 @angrychicken Thanks for the heads up! This level is absolutely going on the list!
Same two birds as described by @karen68 for 86k and top score for now

The List: https://www.angrybirdsnest.com/forums/topic/abo-levels-worth-another-try/
Wow @bonneypattycat what a score!
The trick is to complete it with one bird. TBH I just got quite lucky I aimed for the first slanted wooded block
Launched the first two YB as shown in the AMslimfordy ABN video, straight on to the right. Launched the third up high to take out the bottom pig and collapse the right half of the structure. Increase score 5k.
First YB to the center left. Lots of debris fell to the left. Cleared a path to the helmet pig. Second YB directly at the helmet pig. Right side fell and took out a lot of remaining debris and last pig. Two birds remaining. Still some debris for additional points. I expect that this is the first of a long list of puppy adopters for this challenge.
https://www.angrybirdsnest.com/members/wicket182/album/picture/16312/ @sweetp
Likewise, two birds. I got a screenshot showing second shot trajectory and damage. Lots of debris left, but got 80700:

@sweetp
I believe my video shows pretty much the 2 bird strat of @wicket182, @gladvold and @windwalker as well:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=c6bOUDohKRE
Seems like it´s puppy-inflation-weeks. Not that I´m complaining, oh no, absolutely not. So, thanks for another one, @sweetp!
I used three birds. First bird slightly lower than video to hit slanted plank below the wooden rectangular block. That makes left part of the structure collapse, opening the path to the second bird slightly above the helmeted pig at the slanted plank above it, and then the third bird low again at the slanted plank below helmeted pig (the one that holds right part of the structure). That makes the remaining structure fall apart, killing the last pig. I’ve had only few blocks left intact when I got my current score.
@sweetp here is the screenshot https://www.angrybirdsnest.com/members/aleksch/album/picture/16315/
@aleksch Followed the strategy you used and after about 12 attempts I have a score worthy of a puppy. Thanks for posting it.
@sweetp Here is the link for proof of Underdog score.
https://www.angrybirdsnest.com/members/jtwade/album/picture/16317/
83400/3 much like that but with the 2nd a bit lower (was aiming to clip the glass block to the left of the helmeted pig, but only just so such that the bird follows through).
Pleased to join the others at the Puppy Party today ~ Congratulations to all Puppy Winners !!! This score was obtained using the 3-bird strategy posted by @aleksch ~ Thank You for sharing!

@sweetp @kelani
https://www.angrybirdsnest.com/members/comex666/album/picture/16340/
I used a three-bird strategy similar to that posted by @aleksch. First bird to the gap between the wooden and ice blocks. Second – to the slanted plank just above the helmeted pig. The third shot depends on the outcome of the first two. If there is a clear path to the slanted plank under the helmeted pig, it is best to use a straight shot at it as described by aleksch. However, in my case there was a stone block on the way, so instead I used a high arc shot to the same plank from above. Not a very high score, but good for a puppy. @sweetp – my proof https://www.angrybirdsnest.com/members/annach/album/picture/16318/
@annach same here. Enough for puppy nr. ?
Thanks.

Not the best score, but good enough for a puppy, used 3 birds to destroy planks and piggies as described by so many above.

Cc @sweetp
80650 for the daily challenge.
First shot like described by many above, into the slanted plank at the bottom left. I got a favorable collapse allowing me to break through most of the bottom debris and the slanted plank at the bottom right with the second bird. A third bird at roughly the same arc, breaking through some more blocks and the last pig sealed the deal.
First pic shows the remaining debris, second pic as proof for @sweetp.

@3sjs Love the round ones! Nice even 80K
I just joined today’s Puppy Parade with 80,120 points. I used the @birdjo strategy of three birds.
@sweetp – https://www.angrybirdsnest.com/members/meanguy/album/picture/16336/
Congrats to all of today’s new puppy owners !!
Good luck & happy flinging to all !!!
Same strategy as before,a slight score improvement- 81,380. No glitch this time!
@sweetp – https://www.angrybirdsnest.com/members/meanguy/album/picture/16350/
Quite a puppy parade today !!
@admins – Earlier today I got my current puppy worthy score (80,120) while playing on my PC. A few minutes ago,while playing on my android-based Thrive tablet, I got a really high score of 100,000 points. After I launched the second yellow bird it made contact with the helmet wearing pig and then everything blew up & disappeared,leaving behind this unbelievable score. I’ve posted a screenshot in my album. I’m leaving it up to the Admins to decide if this score is valid,as I did nothing to cause this. I only posting in ‘comments’ as I don’t really know what else to do.
https://www.angrybirdsnest.com/members/meanguy/album/picture/16339/
@meanguy, looks like you found a glitch! However, glitch scores are not allowed on the leaderboards. Thank you for letting us know, and congrats on getting another puppy!
cc: @admins
A three-birder, 1st almost straight ahead and took a lot of the left part out – scored almost 32k. 2nd bird the same tracejtory, got the right diagonal plank but not the last bottom bird. 3rd bird high trajectory and activate late so you almost get a vertical shot. Very little debris left. Proof of score:
https://www.angrybirdsnest.com/members/parohl/album/picture/16341/
@sweetp (looks like you’ll be busy today)
Bottom pig of course…
It was harder than what I thought, but I made it in the end. Thanks to all the people who posted useful tips.

cc: @sweetp
Congrats @sglouk! Could you please comment on what strategy you used? Thanks a bunch!
@sweetp
I do not think I invented anything. I never succeeded to have a good 2-birder as in MicroMax vid, however, my first two shots were more or less as in this vid, but with the lowest pig that survived. Then I used a 3r bird to get rid of the last pig and damage structure as much as possible. I usually made a high lob for this last shot, however, I was trying both low and high shot at the moment I finally went above 80k (after tons of 77k, 78k, 79k). So I cannot say whether it was a high lob or not. I was quite relieved when I made it and forgot to remember what I had just done 20 seconds ago.
Haha! You’re funny @Sglouk. Awesome score, anyway!
Holy Shnikes @bonneypattycat nice fling! I’m still wailing away in the low 70s
Although I did get to the puppy threshold with the 3 bird strat, my best score came when I missed high on the first shot. I almost reset because there wasn’t that much apparent damage, but the second bird cut right through everything and gave me a nice 2 birder.

I thought I was going to miss the great puppy parade today, but I finally got it!
Not a great puppy but still a puppy.
https://www.angrybirdsnest.com/members/steely59/album/picture/16348/
@sweetp
..and the strategy was the same as the others above. Got it with two birds.
I think this is true in general, although I have never heard it mentioned myself…. but the yellow bird hits a little bit harder if you ignite him as early as possible…..i think he must be traveling just a bit faster, but I swear I’ve done experiments and this seems to hold true
Wow @Sweetp it looks like you will have your work cut out for you with all the new puppies today. Thanks for all your hard work.
I used three birds similar to everyone above.
https://www.angrybirdsnest.com/members/mg516/album/picture/16349/
@MG516, you’re so right! Good thing I have a PC to gather all the info, or I’d surely need that straitjacket! HAHA!
Woot!! 91k using the first shot of @micromax ,somehow i hit a sweet spot and yb went all the way through the bottom of the structure, sent second yb at the same angle pretty much and everything fell squishing the piggie in the middle that’s usually the I’ve left in between the slanted planks, not an explosion our disappearance as @meanguy reports
Hees screenshot @sweetp. I can’t take a screen until the level closes, due to the way my tablet is set to take it from the recent apps window
Screenshot_2015-09-16-18-14-21.jpg
Congrats to everyone on their new puppies, @kathy that score is insane :P
@sweetp https://www.angrybirdsnest.com/members/gumby/album/picture/16354/ for my second puppy :)
Woot!! Ty @micromax I was aiming for that spot all along, but your video helped narrow it down and then I got really lucky and hit that p sweet spot. I haven’t been able to repeat it, it must be pixel perfect i guess:/
Congrats to you as well, and all owners of new pups, i have a feeling there will be Many more b4 it ends, wouldn’t be surprised if someone takes my trophy lol..
Good luck to all those still trying..keep flinging ,the pup will eventually come running to you:D
Thanks for the screenshot @gumby, but I need to know what strategy you used? Can’t release your puppy until I get both, please.
Congrats!
@sweetp @micromax stragegy as per micromax video, sorry forgot to post this part its only my second puppy.
Wtg @Kathy! Almost said above that there is a chance of 90k+ here with all the debris left. However decided it would have been way too optimistic :^D
Oh @mictomax I sooo wish i coulda got a screen of the remains, but it times out so fast, and as i mentioned not possible on my tablet the way its set to take a screenshot :(
Thanks @gumby is my 3rd, congratulations on your 2nd !! Wtg:D
Congrats on that massive score @kathy! Wow! I was already in awe at the 86k that @bonneypattycat earned – then you flew right in and grabbed the trophy. This Challenge has been tremendous for a lot of us – another slam bang parade of puppies. Someone may need to go refill the Puppy Plantation soon!
As of right now, I count 34 winners with over 2 hours left on this Challenge!
I also won a puppy! Yay! started out with 63k and over the course of today jumped up in increments until I finally got over 81k. I used 3 birds, sending all three on similar straight on trajectory. Last bird was a little lower then the 1st two. Finally that last piggy was pulverized. In his honor, I named this one ‘Chuck’ of course. (He is a yellow Lab).
For @sweetp and @kelani, here is the screenshot:
https://www.angrybirdsnest.com/members/gypsybird/album/picture/16355/.
Congratulations @gypsybird Woot! Yep another Grand Parade of Puppies!
Is only my 3rd, but I’m very happy I joined the march:)
I too was blown away by @bonneypattycat score of 86k, as i was typically struggling for 77k lol, i had 80k at one time but lost it in trying to take a screenshot, that was all i was striving for. Boy did my jaw drop as i hit a 2 birder and the tally screen was going up:D
@kathy, you are a great flinger, I really thought you had more than 3 puppies. At any rate, you are sure to start winning more of them from here on! (that is my prediction). :-)
Glad I joined as well, I only had to unlock 20 levels to get to it LOL. Wish I never had to get that new phone. SweetP is going to be one busy girl handing out all those puppies.
Well done @gumby! I started later than most with ABSp and thus needed to play today 21 previous levels to reach this one ;-D Really happy, it was worth it.
Well I am currently on Mighty Hoax 4-15, I am replaying each level until I beat my old score. It will be a long time before I get thru all of ABO, then I will get back to Space which I was about halfway thru if you don’t count the mirror worlds. Also thanks for the video @micromax, usually its @e-star videos I am used to seeing. Always helpful to see aiming trajectory if I am stuck with a lower score :)
Woo hoo @kathy!!!!! Congratulations!!!
I thought maybe you had achieved a 1-birder with that score!
Ty @bonneypattycat, sorry about the trophy, i was amazed at Your score great flinging! !
Ty again @gypsybird ,i never usually play the challenge basically had no luck, and i had my one puppy i was happy, but seeing all the puupy parades lately enticed me ;)
Woot-woot, Super awesome score, @Kathy! Congrats on your second puppy and the trophy!
Just another not-so-good score, but still good enough to join the puppy stampede! Still trying for a better score though. Is this a record number for one challenge?
Congrats especially @kathy on your awesome top score.

Thanks @peejaydee27 and Congrats on the puppy!
Just keep flinging at the gap between the glass and the plank, eventually you’ll hit that sweet spot!
@marykater Holy moly!! Great score!
You left me in the basement… :-(
I haven’t given up on improving my score in today’s Challenge. I just got 87,050 points using only 2 birds. Unfortunately,the only evidence of this score,on my tablet,will be the screenshot I’ve saved in multiple files. I also posted it in my album. I used the same nearly straight ahead strategy posted by many others. Because of the glitch induced score of 100,000 that I got earlier today,it will always be shown as the high score on this level,but I was able to get a good pic of the 87,050 screen.
@sweetp – https://www.angrybirdsnest.com/members/meanguy/album/picture/16357/
Congrats @kathy on a great score ! It almost makes my glitch induced 100,000 seem possible.
Again, Congrats to the incredible number of new puppy owners !!
Good luck & happy flinging to all !!!
I am a late party crasher for today’s underdog awards. By my count there are 32 of us and only 15 minutes left.
I have no idea whose strategy I used, so I will call it my own. I scored 81200 with 3 birds. The first to the middle on a flat arc. The second one was a high arc to take out some of the right side debris. The third took out the last piggie and most of the remaining debris.
I think @sweetp @kelani have to be notified and here is my screen capture.

You all have earned an Underdog Badge, but I can’t award them to you unless you post your strategy and a screenshot for proof.
ALSO, it would be a record-breaker if we could add you to the puppy parade!
Please add your comments and link to the screenshot on this page. Thank you!
I need some help. I figured how to take a screenshot, but can’t figure out how to make the link to here? I have an IPad Air.
@smithda44 – you need to upload the picture to your album here. Go to album, click “upload picture”, then “choose file” and follow directions.
I used the method described above by BirdJo. I have saved the screenshot to my album.

Thanks for the reminder SweetP — like many others I used first Chuck to take out the slanted wood bar, ice block, and wood block to the left of the helmeted pig (my goal was to score around 30,000 points with 1st Chuck) then aimed 2nd Chuck to take out either 1 or both slanted wood bars helmeted pig is sitting on, flung either straight on or high lob depending on destruction of 1st Chuck, had at least six 80,000+ scores but could not get over the 81,000 threshhold — here is the screen shot of my score
@annach, thanks for replying to @smithda44! I was doing “real life” errands and didn’t see the question until now.
Here is the link to the screenshot: https://www.angrybirdsnest.com/members/smithda44/album/picture/16366/
Ok I will post my screen shot tomorrow, but for strat, I fired straight ahead igniting quickly, one time I got lucky and busted thru for 33 or 36k…. from there it was fairly easy as I just tried to not blow it… I think I did it in two birds but not 100%, second bird I believe I fired straight as well rather then lob. Thanks for the shout out, will post shot tomorrow
Okay, ignore my recollection of how it happened that I posted yesterday, A found four screenshots I took showing all three shots and the final score screen which a picture is worth 4,000 words so here it is

@sweetp – looks like @tmax (crash) should be added to the list of those who got puppies on Mighty Hoax 5-15.
I also uploaded my screenshot to my album. The followed strategy was: first bird almost straight into the pile, then second bird higher to let the top fall down
