Cut the Rope Level 217 — DJ Box Walkthrough (3 Stars)
Level 217★★★★★
Guide by LevelWalks
Level 217 lands in Cut the Rope's hard band, and most players who Google it are stuck not because the answer is hard, but because the puzzle frames the question in a way that sends you down the wrong path.
## Cut the Rope — DJ Box, Level 17
**Box:** DJ Box | **Level:** 217 (DJ Box #17)
## Walkthrough
This level uses teleportation, magic hats, bubbles, candy transformers and anti-gravity. The candy starts from the right side and Om Nom is waiting at the bottom.
### Step-by-Step Solution
1. **First, observe the layout.** Look at where the candy hangs and trace a path to Om Nom. Note every rope, bubble, and obstacle.
2. **Cut the first rope** — the one holding the candy closest to the top. This drops the candy toward the first star.
3. **Use the teleportation** to redirect the candy toward the second star. Timing is important here — wait until the candy swings to its peak before activating.
4. **Collect the final star** by popping the bubble at the right moment.
5. **Guide the candy to Om Nom.** If you miss a star, the candy should still reach Om Nom — just replay for a perfect score.
### Getting All 3 Stars
- Star 1: Drops naturally when you cut the first rope.
- Star 2: Requires precise timing with the teleportation.
- Star 3: The hardest one — you need to use the bubble to float up before the candy falls past it.
## Tips for This Level
The DJ Box introduces teleportation which add a new dimension to your puzzle-solving. Don't rush — watch the candy's momentum and plan two moves ahead.
## Why This Level Is Tricky
These levels take multiple attempts even for experienced players. Don't reset after every failed attempt — watch how the candy moves when things go wrong. Failed attempts teach you the physics interactions you'll need for the correct solution.
## Common Mistakes
Players frequently make these errors on Level 217:
- Using teleporters without first checking where the exit teleporter is positioned relative to stars.
- Not accounting for gravity switches that reverse the candy's fall direction mid-level.
- Attempting to collect stars in visual order (left to right) when the physics require a different sequence.
Tips
- Cut ropes in order from top to bottom for the most control over candy movement.
- In the DJ Box, teleportation are key — learn their timing patterns.
- You don't need all 3 stars to progress, but replay levels later for a perfect score.
