Learn how to complete Level 9 of Apple Worm. Master the techniques and strategies needed to progress.

Apple Worm Level 9 Strategy

This level rewards patient planning. Work backward from the exit, then choose an apple route that keeps a safe turning space after the worm grows.

The extracted Apple Worm layout for Level 9 uses rows 4-12 and columns 4-9 with 17 solid blocks. The worm starts with 3 segments, with the head at row 5, column 7 and the tail at row 4, column 8.

The apple is placed at row 9, column 6, and the portal is at row 12, column 4. The saved replay is a 21-input solution, so this level is best treated as a controlled mid-length route rather than a guess-and-check stage.

No extra special tiles appear in this layout, so the challenge is mostly route shape and body spacing. A common mistake is reaching the apple from the nearest side and then discovering that the longer worm has no clean line back to the portal.

Level 9 Layout Notes

  • Apple count: 1
  • Portal: row 12, column 4
  • Starting worm length: 3 segments
  • Solid blocks: 17
  • Completing Level 9 awards 10 coins.

Level 9 Walkthrough Checklist

  1. 1.Start by matching the worm head position at row 5, column 7 to the portal at row 12, column 4.
  2. 2.Collect the apple at row 9, column 6 before lining up the portal approach.
