Mine and Dine level 17-7 is one of the most difficult levels in the entire Angry Birds app to earn 3 stars. The best strategy is to lob the Boomerang bird over the structure and spin it back through the wooden block on the right side. Ideally, the Boomerang bird should go far enough so as to break the hollow wooden square within. In any event, the whole right side should be cleared with significant damage. Fire a Yellow bird horizontally, through both pieces of wood on the left side. To earn 3 stars, it is important to break the jewel in the trough. Be careful of the encased pig that falls leftward, since he doesn’t always pop. The score in the video below is 125,200.
Version 2022:
There once was a pig in a square
That made people pull out their hair
The first shot was great
And yellow flew straight
But the swine in the square was still there…
sigh…..
Good job, and thanks for a chuckle!
Love it!
Ain’t it the TRUTH! ARGH!
He’s the piggie who just won’t die
No matter how hard we try
He didn’t care if we even cry
He’s in a box, won’t take our knocks
He’s the piggie who just won’t die!!!
Lol, nice.
ha ha, that’s great @kpnanny!
@bird-addict Try to use the “Reply” button when possible. Regards.
10-4 @birdleader!
This is the worst level yet-2 days so far, 2 birded it three time & got the jewel-still only up to 121,970-near impossible.
try try & try again and FINALLY GOT IT! only scored 125340 but who cares…..outta here…..
I finally did it!! That is all I have to say!
This level deserves all the animosity directed at it! For anyone who is still looking for tips and doesn’t want to read through 100+ comments, here’s what worked for me
For the first shot, aim the boomerang bird to just clear the top helmeted pig. After it passes the right side of the structure, reverse when it is about at the same level as the top right horizontal wooden plank. This helps the bird travel nearly horizontally into the narrow vertical wooden support on the right side and can yield scores of around 60k.
For the second shot, aim basically horizontally or a hair above, and accelerate right before hitting the lower left left narrow vertical wooden support.
Or, just fling and pray. ;)
@halliesginsb ty for the time saving of going back 4 pages……ive made the 2 shots perfectly a gazillion times…and still can’t make average!! Please please tell me there is a hidden message in your post..some secret tip something:( please..this is about as close to whining I’ll get before the full force …ooops it slipped out i swear by accident….;) ty for you’re tips:)
@kathy if the whine factor has not helped, here are a couple of suggestions. The boomerang bird needs to barely clear the top helmeted pig, and you need to get at least 50k points on that shot, better if it’s 55-60k.
On the second shot, it helps if the bird stays on the platform after breaking the second board. Debris will still fall to the right to get the crystal, but a lot will also roll off the bird and to the left, including that obnoxious pig in the hollow box.
Last, if it’s just not working for you, get some sleep! You know how to do it and the method will coalesce in your brain while you sleep. GL!
Thanks for reply and tips @halliesginsb :) it’s still alluding me I’ve got up to 125k+ but alas.I’ve made both shots perfectly but i guess not getting the debris needed:( I’ve conquered this 2 times before..a while ago but lost progress and averages driven up..it’s maddening they seem like easy shots but are not..Ive even got the partial collapse several times more of a hindrance than a help..i hate to leave a level under average but i may just move along, finish episode and come back for more torture:(..again ty for help:) stop in the BP sometime , put a drink on my tab:)
This is making NO sense to me at all!!! I had 56k after first shot..then hit second shot perfectly and end up with 10k less points..it’s almost like they’re not counting both leftover birds!!! I got 125k with a worse shot..i don’t get it ¿
Hey @halliesginsb I’m Back..finally made some points..not enough for average,BUT i Ruud get 3 stars without the crystal..:) soo thank you very much for all your help:)
A few more tries but i think against my beliefs i may leave an under average score:(
@kathy and you are so close! Sometimes I feel like the game somehow senses when you really, really want a higher score, and it won’t give you one just to be spiteful! Like an obstinate child. Oh wait, is the game being childish or am I? ;)
Maybe we should play like we don’t really care what the score is and it will get bored and accidentally let a good score slip through. Or you could just ignore for a couple more months and then try again. Maybe it just needs a timeout.
Ahaha @halliesginsb yes a stubborn child !! every couple months I’ll return haha
One more fling for now then on to 15 my last one here…:) ty for support:)
Wooo Hooo!!! @halliesginsb not 2 minutes after last post iDid it!!!!
I am soooo outta here hahaha thank you for sticking with me
I owe you a virtual drink..stop by the Bloated Pig forum tell whoevers there your drinks on me:) :) :)..
@kathy So glad you didn’t have to wait 2 more months to beat the average on this level. Sayonara MAD 17-7!
124060 I love Angry Birds but I really hated this level Am grateful for the video and to move on. ARG. :-)
For the record ~ I hate the Boomerang Bird !!!
Always have ~ always will…. And this level epitomizes the frustration of having to use BB that underlies my feelings towards that vile bird!
Got 133570 by normal 2 bird way. Boomerang bird through wooden section near bottom of right section. 55000 until there, then yellow through the 2 wooden blocks into the trough hitting crystal
Ackkkk after almost a year from my previous posts I came back for the daily challenge and with reading my previous posts I’m very very scared! ! Lol Here goes good luck all!!
Hi @kathy, I just read through your comments as well. AB DOES behave like an obstinate child! A few days ago, on the Hamoween challenge level, I was stuck just below 95. The day AFTER the challenge, I went back got over 100 for a top 3! Another day, 10 points below a puppy. 10. The game would NOT give me ten lousy points. So, if that’s how it’s playing me lately, I’m whining now. An hour into challenge. Give it up AB. I want a top 50!
Lol @maiasatara Ohh man thats Just Wrong!10 lousy points away from apuppy!!! Well good luck on this one I think inreading up
@hallieginsb has the best tips on this one;) lets get us a puppy;) hey and if you need to whine head on over to the bloated pig forum and whine all ya want; ) whining is allowed loud and clear;)
If anyone cares, the semi-collapse of this level still works. 3-5 seconds after reset, the top right plank and a few blocks will fall over, giving about 8,500 points. It occurs in clusters, i.e. twice in 10 attempts, then none for the next 100.
Thanks @kelani — There weren’t many details on the list of self-destroying levels. Please @mention me or also post in the self-destroying forum. It was mere luck that I saw this.
I counted about 70, waiting before a fling, then got distracted by Big Bang Theory and just sent boomerang and watched the top falling as the bird sailed over.
@maiasatara Sheldon strikes again. :) That’s how it happened to me every time. Things are moving right at the beginning, but it doesn’t actually fall until around the time boomerang bird flies by.
1st Bird damage is so variable, I don’t know if waiting for the collapse has any benefit :/
Lmao! Nice @Kelani!
@mvnla2 I also posted a few more details in the SD forum when I posted here. Totally forgot to mention ya. Sorry. :)
@Kelani — I wondering if the really great scores come from fortuitous timing of the first bird with the collapse?
@HallieGinSB — How on earth did you get 60K out of the first shot.
Don’t know if this helps, but there is a suggestion on the last page that you don’t want to accelerate the second shot.
Not above average yet, but at least improved slightly. @HallieGinSB‘s first shot is great. Would only add that you want to leave as little room as possible above the top helmeted pig, Activate just a hair above the top of the upper right-most pig. Of, course, I haven’t gotten 60K for this. I’ve been trying the tip from @Laurence not to activate the second bird. More consistently leaves bird on left platform, which help get rid of the pesky pit in the wood box.
I must be quite sleep deprived from working this Tax Season, because until just now, I hadn’t put 2+2 together to realize my 124860 was below average … absolutely no idea what I was thinking last night.
Nothing too spectacular, but I’d been following @hallieginsb year old post, but this time I managed to improve to 127530. The 1st shot was so close to the helmeted pig that he got a haircut as the Boomerang bird flew by. I thought I activated in the right spot, but about 1/3-1/2 of the left most part of the right side still remained.
YB at a slight downward diagonal, boosting immediately, to pierce the narrow & thick vertical wood. As the left side fell left & smallest piggie rolled off & died, the remaining part of the right side destabilized & falling wood & concrete put me above average : -)
Came back to this to try and get my score above the average and I couldnt remember it from before. I will never forget it now. So so annoying to hit two ‘perfect’ shots and still only get anywhere from 110k to 120k, but I will persevere
Finally and they weren’t even good shots and the pig in the square fell down into the middle gap rather than off the left edge
where’s @e-star when you are stuck on a hard level?
@birdleader , your strategy works perfectly…after 23 attempts, doesn’t matter, I made it thanks to you… (Image of the score right here : http://nest-eggs3.angrybirdsnest.com/wp-content/uploads/album/77067/17-7-640×359-100×100.png)
On a return ticket. The high score is 143k and there is one other 140k. How’s about a heads-up here @knichychy or @yor-el. Thanks.
@steviep147 or you, by about a hundred. but i’ll try to fix that 8*)
@steviep147 @cc-admins I entered this a year ago on a device that is now bricked with no backup and before I realized it would be useful to take notes. I will update to my current high. You had an extra chy in my name so I didn’t get the mention.
BTW I am playing with a strat that once yielded 130+ by tossingBB straight ahead with what is usually the second YB shot. the structure witt the stone trapeze came left and pulled that horizontal wood bock with it, destabilizing the right structure and collpasing nearly everything. I got a lucky lob in with chuck and almost everything over there was destroyed.
didn’t quite beat the @halliesbgin shot though
Thanks @knichy I’m no further on here!
@steviep147 no prob. at least I picked up an extra 117 offset my losses
The 3-star score should be in top-100.
Like what the heck.
