Our strategy for Mine and Dine level 17-12 is to fire the Red bird into the vertical pile of stone towards the right side of the level. This will cause wood to topple onto the TNT, clearing the right side. It is a tough trajectory to go below the stalactite and above the roof of the second structure, but it is possible. With a similar trajectory, bomb the right side of the left structure and ricochet the White bird into the stalactites above the second structure. If necessary, use a Yellow bird to clean up. The score in the video below is 101,790.
Version 2022:
Just got 3 stars with 96480 points.
I got 114160 points. =O
First, I sent the red bird high up so that on its way down, it collided with the purple crystal and the two icicles. The icicles would come down and destroy the pigs in the middle section. The leaning debris that results from the icicle destruction luckily caused all the pigs in the left side to die as well. Then, as a sort of accident, I sort of rammed the white egg bird into the concrete before the rightmost pigs. Everything somehow fell over and got me an epic score. An overall satisfying and lucky experience.
This is the same method I’ve been putting through a little trial and error, although I haven’t gotten a final score (flubbed my second shot), i have gotten a similar first shot; once resulting in the stone ‘chimney’ to topple to the left. Thanks for the post! Let’s me know I’m on the right track!
After a couple of hours I managed to get a score of 106,590 with you method. I’m moving on…congrats r3d.
Not pertaining to 3 stars but if you bust the treasure cheat on top screen with yellow bird a golden egg appears
Thus the “Golden Egg Alert” above the video.
can somebody help me get three stars in all levels?also i have 20 golden eggs
.
There are walkthroughs for every level…
114880 :) same method.
I had the hardest time passing this level, it’s this and 17-7 (which I still can’t 3-star). Finally I just got angry and started throwing birds around, ignoring the strategy in the walkthrough and not trying to complete the level. I don’t even know what the heck I did, but before I knew it all the pigs were down, and my last bird was sitting on top of the amethyst, with a stone brick on his head. At the last second, my bird popped and the brick fell on the amethyst, and suddenly I had completed the level with 3 stars!!!
FINALLY! 95340 to squeak by :). followed video, but needed three birds. Now, I only need to 3 star 17-7, which has to be one of the most difficult levels ever!
how to get 3 star i got score 90210
Careful with the language, Filbert. No cussing, please.
I really don’t like this level although I think my strategy is sound. First red as explained above, over the top taking out crystal and the dark stalactite, although doesn’t matter if it takes out the left structure or not. Second shot with the white bird, you need to release the egg in a way that shoots the bird up brushing the bottom of the left s’tite and carries on to dislodge the one on the right too. You need comfortably over 60k at this point for a decent score. Finally use the yellow bird to push what’s left of the right structure onto the TNT and hope for a good fall out. I’m pretty sure this strategy is better than my score would suggest but life’s too short to keep trying!
This strategy gives a lot of 3 stars easiers than other methods.
If you’re looking for that top10 spot you’ll want the other 2bird method but also some time for triall and error.
95410 on the first try. I’ll live with that.
+1 on this method ! (just got 96xxx in about 5 tries)
This level is similar to 17-7, in that it requires a great deal of small scale precision to make your shots. It’s the sort of thing that just gets under your skin, or gives you that feeling you get when someone scratches a chalkboard with their fingernails. All the ways to line up and take your shots that one comes to rely on in other levels, are very muted and subdued here, adding to the difficulty.
What a nice try!! First bird no lob. Direct shot into the 2 small vertical pieces of the chimney. The small pieces plus the bird made the right structure collapse. Cleared ot the entire right side. Then w/b shot just under the first stalactite dropping the egg
on the right corner of the left structure. W/b went upwards, breaking the 2 black stalactites, even the purpel cristal on top. W/b and stalactites fell downwards taking out all pigs and causing a lot of debris.
First shot sounds about the same as my technique, which gave me the high score on this level for 3 or 4 months until you came along.
Well, how did you place the second bird?
It was months ago. Best I recall the first bird did so much damage that the second bird was for cleaning up a couple pigs on the left side.
Thanks guys! Nice score both of you!
This level was a challenge. Used emider’s alternate strategy to obtain a respectable score. The second White Bird shot seems to be the key in obtaining the higher scores in hitting the stalactites and crystals. The only other tip I can offer is patience and to keep trying.
The key to this level is definately patience but be sure to have the trajectory for your white bird figured out so you don’t choke when you get good fallout from your first bird.
@emider, I was trying to replicate your strategy but I accidentally clipped the first stalactite, and my bird just hit the roof of the middle structure. Killed the pig on the bottom when it rolled of the roof. I then shot the white bird just a bit higher and activated the egg, just as I was located between the two stalactites. The rightmost stalactite actually went horizontal and together with the bird pushed over the cement wall, causing the complete right structure to explode. Unfortunately, the left structure was still somewhat intact and I had to waste a bird to kill the remaining pigs. Ended up with 113k, but 120+ would have been possible. Will keep trying as it seems like another way to get a similar result.
Not sure what I think about the current high here, just hard to imagine another 10K to be gotten here. It’s the user’s only high in M&D. Opinions? What do you think @amslimfordy ?
Typo fixed by user.
Okay, wow, I guess I spoke too soon. Just got a +130k score, no PUs obviously. S I guess this should be considered an alternate strategy. I skipped the red bird of the bottom of the first stalactite. This time, the first tower fell to the right, some pieces to the left, and somehow dislodged the middle tower and the whole thing collapsed. I then send the white bird on a path just a tad higher, activate the egg right as I was. In the middle of the stalactites. Bird and stalactite pushed over the wall against the right-most structure, score just kept flowing well over 110k and had two birds leftover. There is more to destroy here, so I think there could be more to get here.
I took a screen shot right after the second bird did its magic, so I can upload this if anybody in interested in seeing how much was left.
@pointdexter5, I always love seeing screenshots of total devastation on a level, especially a level like this one that I find particularly interesting. You may have to pick my jaw up off the floor, though…
@austinrhl, I will work on getting them up tomorrow, and will update here. There was actually still stuff to be destroyed, which amazed me given the score. I was going for the 120k range and things just happen to fall the right way.
@austinrhl, here are the screenshots. I added a watermark, to avoid duplication. Hope I’m doing the links correctly.

@pointdexter5 – Thanks! That really is an amazing result. Your second shot is very interesting, and extremely well executed under pressure. I really don’t think there’s anything more to gain here. Those stuck-together wooden elements just don’t break when they fall. And you even managed to destroy one of the boulders! This is definitely one of the most spectacular top scores I’ve seen.
@austinrhl, what is funny about this, is that I did not think 130k or more was possible. Could not see it based on and previews tries. But what happened one the first bird must have been one of those exception shots we sometimes see. I was getting ready to line up bird two and stuff kept falling down and points racking up. I was really worried about bird two at this point, as it woud have been very easy to mess up. I just happened to hit it perfectly, and the rest is history.
I used to hold the top spot in M&D for over half a year, but was pushed down as I focused on other episodes. This score pushed me back in the top 5 in his episode, so going to keep paying to gain some more points.
@pointdexter5, congratulations! Your score seems unbeatable. I realized that the left and middle structure start “hopping” a bit after contact with stalactite(s)on rare occasions. Thats when they will collapse decently. Second shot has to break all three stalactites for high scores, just like you described. Chapeau!
@emider, coming from a shooter like you, that’s nice to know as far as trying to retain a high score.
Funny too to hear the term “chapeau”, no longer used to hearing that regularly since I left Belgium for the US.
@pointdexter5, I am from Stuttgart, Germany, means not too far from Belgium…
@emider, I know where that is, lived for 22 years in Belgium, so generally know where places around us are. I grew up very close to Aachen, and still go there for shopping when I go back home to visit family. Small world.
wow, amazing result @pointdexter5 .. Maybe I should play some angry birds again, this strategy is interesting.
Thank you @emider!
Something strange happened on my 117k attempt. On the first bird, I did not manage to completely clear the right side, but the TNT did blow and the shelf remained. I went ahead with the second bird, as sometimes with that shot flying debris can knock out the shelf, and that is exactly what happened. What was strange, there was an explosion around the shelf, almost like a fourth TNT had been set off. I’m quite certain all the TNT was set off by the first bird.
This web site is THE best………got the golden egg too! (but my arm is sore from trying…..lol)
Argh isn’t there a rule against so many evil hard levels in one game! This is the 3rd one to get me so into Kathy’s whiiiinnnee factor! At this point I’ll try Anything to get over avg!! Grrrrr!!! :/
@kimmiecv — See you made it above average, as did I. I went back to @emider‘s strat. First shot is very difficult, but then so is first shot on Poindexter’s.
@Poindexter — Couldn’t figure out exactly what you meant by “skipping red bird off bottom of first stalactite.”
I believe he meant the red bird barely grazes the bottom of the stalactite, which causes the stalactite to fall, but the red bird continues to sail to the right hitting the second building.
Finally above average!! The whine factor kicked in :) went above with red came down on crystals.wb to the right hand structure dropping egg on the edge:)
Yay!! Congrats on your score @kathy, this level was a tough one for sure!
Thanks @bonneypattycat now I’m on 14 that’s a tough one too, without that high shot!!
@mvnla I did NOT get the avg! :( I’m like a measley 87 pnts from it still! I’m still working on it and I’ll add another Whiiinnnee! Because i am sooo close!! :/
You missed my nickname, but luckily I’m subscribed to this thread. Yes, you have to slightly touch it, enough to break it, but not disrupt the path of the bird. When you pull the bird back, try to use visual pointers on the screen to find the right angle on your device.
Hahahaa!! Finally I got it!! @mvnla2 it’s doooonnnee!!! Yeehaa I’m so outa here :D
@kimmiecv, Me too, doing it exactly as the video shows it done, but I’ll eventually come back and raise it just a tad more.
Ooh good luck @werewolf69 I Hated this level! Hope you can stomach it better than I did!! LOL
@kimmiecv, thank you for wishing me luck, I can certainly use all I can get and as a Werewolf I can stomach just about anything, including these sadomasochistic and quadriplegic swine. Good luck to you as well.
LOL @werewolf69 you tell em!! :D
@kimmiecv, I came back just as I said I would and raised my score some more, guess I’ll be eating a swine roast tomorrow, only bad thing is, they look like boogers.
Gah eeeewwww they do don’t they!! LOL Think I’ll pass on eating my dead ones, green meat is just wrong on every level I can think of, werewolf or not!! Congrats on a great score @werewolf69! :D
95040 on a 1-bird clear, aiming Red as per the official strat. :)
This level is an easy three star… Don’t even worry about killing everything on the right first shot. Do it just like the video, and then come back with third bird and knock over everything left on the right. Should break 95k every time, almost.
No problem clearing the level,3 stars, 96k…. it was getting to the “Treasure Chest”!! I found it frustrating trying to get the exact angle down, to get the Golden Egg.
These “small window of opportunity” games are just plain boring and
an insult to Angry Birds players! Sitting for two hours trying to
fit into that slot is mind-numbingly tedious.
@kurai80 I agree, it can get tedious and boring, but oh so satisfying when things fall your way. GL!
Well, well, well… I can tell that I am quite proud of this one ;-)
I was 8k below @pointdexter5 top score to start with and despite multiple attempts I did not see how to even got close to it.
While flinging mechanically (and quite randomly) the first bird it once lead to the destruction of the middle structure. It was quick but I saw that it was the white stalactite doing.
So I tried to replicate it and indeed it is possible to fling the red bird so that it dislodges the white stalactite, making it fall horizontally, rolls over the falling bird to the right and destroy the bottom of the middle structure.
Here is the trajectory of the red bird before it hits the stalactite, and the expected ongoing destruction.
At this point you can be around 42 to 49k depending on the fallout.
After a good first shot a 125k score is quite easy to get, 130k definitely within grasp, more… well much harder ;-)
Compared to the first one the second bird may seem easy… but it can still bring a lot of points.
The idea is fourfold:
1. Destroy all the remaining stalactites
2. Use the egg to clear the path to the boulder
3. Destroy the boulder with the brown stalactite (it’s worth around 10k)
4. Push the right structure to the right with the help of the horizontally falling white stalactite
Not easy but definitely doable.
Anyway, here are the resulting damages after a very successful second bird.
And the highscore screenshot.
Hope it helps.
WOW! Amazing score @asher, congratulations!
Time I gave this level another try!
121650/2
similar like @asher ?
can´t see the pictures
second all stalactites

@admins The comments seem to have gone!
Ah as soon as I posted this they came back. Glitch?
Over 100k is extremely hard to get.
141722/3
Firstly, I just want to say this is a tremendously good level, which huge opportunity for different approaches and needs a combination of very high skill and very high luck.
This looks like a formidable score but it was ultimately a disappointment because it was a whisker away from much higher, certainly 146k, maybe even 148k. It has the advantage of Classics, which allows a different approach.
1st bird: Send Chuck into the lower wooden structure, hitting just under the protruding beam. On 1 in 5 occasions (ish) it will fall and cause about 50k damage.
2nd bird: Fire Matilda on arc just beneath the first stalactite and detonate so that it both destroys the three other stalactites and bounces back to take out the first one. Again, about a 1 in 5 shot. Damage now should be at least 90k, preferably 95k for a really big score.
3rd bird: This is where you need some good fortune from the previous bird., The idea is to send Check high and back down between the two rocks, destroying the upper crystal is necessary but primarily to hit the right hand wooden structure low down on its left hand base. This is where the luck comes in because not often is there a clear route – very often there will be rocks in the way, but not always. Hitting the base of the structure causes the whole structure, including the stone beams, to fall onto the TNT which is where you get the critical extra points.
On my high score this all happened perfectly apart from the fact that the lower crystal, and some wood and rock around it, teetered at the end, but did not fall to the left, losing about 6k.
What I also need to add is that it took me 8 days of playing, on and off, to achieve this score. What kept me going was that I was so close so many times and I knew I would get there in the end. But in my mind I was targeting 145k plus. In fact, I think 150k could be fluked with 2 birds – I did come close once.
