Cut the Rope Level 73 — Foil Box Walkthrough (3 Stars)
Level 73★★★★★
Guide by LevelWalks
When I ran through Cut the Rope myself, Level 73 was one of the puzzles where I had to put the phone down and think for longer than I wanted to admit. The walkthrough below is what I worked out, plus the reason the trick works.
## Cut the Rope — Foil Box, Level 23
**Box:** Foil Box | **Level:** 73 (Foil Box #23)
## Walkthrough
This level uses teleportation, air cushions, candy transformers and electric sparks. 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 using the air cushions to swing the candy wide.
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 time the electric sparks perfectly before the candy falls past it.
## Tips for This Level
The Foil 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
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 73:
- Rushing to feed Om Nom and skipping the hardest star — getting 2 stars is easy, but the third requires a specific trick.
- Cutting a rope when the candy is at the bottom of its swing instead of the top, resulting in a shorter arc.
- Ignoring the visual hint lines that some levels display briefly at the start, showing the intended cut order.
Tips
- Cut ropes in order from top to bottom for the most control over candy movement.
- In the Foil 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.
