Birds
-
"Angry Birds Lite" features only three types of birds: red, blue and yellow. The red bird is an average-sized bird without any special abilities. Aim this bird at weak points in structures where it can provide enough force to topple the entire thing. The blue bird explodes into three birds. Time the separation correctly to spread out the birds, but have all of them attack the same area. The yellow bird can blast off in a burst of speed, smashing through multiple blocks at once.
Blocks
-
There are three main types of blocks that build the structures in the game: wood, glass and stone. When you can, use blue birds against glass blocks as they are strong against those, but weak against wood and stone. The yellow bird can smash through multiple wooden blocks in one blast. The red bird isn't strong against any kind of block in particular, but does knock wood and glass blocks with some force in the early levels.

Pigs
-
The evil green pigs also come in different types. Some are small, some large and some wear protective metal helmets. The smaller pigs are easy to defeat; almost any contact will cause them to blow up. Larger pigs are stronger, but causing blocks to drop on them is effective. The ones that wear helmets are hardest to kill. The most effective ways to defeat these tougher pigs is to attack them directly with yellow birds, cause them to fall off a ledge or have blocks fall on them from high up.
Mix and Match
-
Only levels four, six, nine and 11 require you to use more than one bird type in the same level. In these levels, fling the birds to places where they can do the most damage, as destroying more blocks in a level earns you more points. For example, level six gives you a blue bird, two yellow birds and a red bird. The pig is hiding in a behind several wooden blocks surrounded by glass blocks. Use the blue bird to destroy as many glass blocks as you can; this frees up the wooden blocks for your yellow bird attacks.
