Before scrolling: Level 61 of Cut the Rope has a one-step solution, but the step is buried under a layer of misdirection. If you want a nudge instead of the full answer, the progressive hints further down go from gentle to explicit.
## Cut the Rope — Foil Box, Level 11
**Box:** Foil Box | **Level:** 61 (Foil Box #11)
## Walkthrough
This level uses candy transformers, bubbles, magic hats and rocket boosters. 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 candy transformers** 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 candy transformers.
- 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 Foil Box introduces candy transformers 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
New mechanics can feel overwhelming, but each one follows consistent rules. Bubbles always float up at the same speed, cushions always push at the same angle. Once you learn the timing for one level, that knowledge transfers directly to similar puzzles ahead.
## Common Mistakes
Players frequently make these errors on Level 61:
- Popping bubbles too early or too late — bubbles need precise timing to redirect the candy toward stars.
- Forgetting that air cushions have a fixed direction and strength, so the candy's entry angle matters.
- Cutting multiple ropes in rapid succession when the level requires waiting for the candy to reach a specific position first.
Tips
- Cut ropes in order from top to bottom for the most control over candy movement.
- In the Foil Box, candy transformers are key — learn their timing patterns.
- You don't need all 3 stars to progress, but replay levels later for a perfect score.
