Sweet level! I got lucky, comparing to some other levels, around here: 6 tries only. :)
EDIT 2022, 5th Nov., Just coming back, after 10 years, re-beat and leave stars, to this cutie. :)
(14 years ago) 8 off in different ways, no idea right now. Edit: Done, don't know what I did wrongly before. Nice formation and well-thought tricks.

(6-11-2022) Now I can understand all the tricks well. Still enjoyed it.
(14 years ago) This one is not very difficult, but only I kept repeating the stupid mistake over and over.

(6-11-2022) Actually it is an interesting level. Adding stars now.
Thanks to the undo button now, this saved me many many tries as I often forgot to make the cuts.
As for a 2 off, there aren't much places to lose 2 steps, and seeing it is a yfkd record, I kind of what it is, and it did not take me long to find it again. :)
(10 years ago) Hehhehe, I have loooots of problems with some other 6 or 7 pts levels in this World (mostly being 2 off, unable to find the 2 cuts), but this one I got in the 3rd try. :) Cute! :D
*****************************
EDIT 2022, 5th Nov.,: came back to re-beat and give stars. :) Today I had some troubles figuring out how to start, and later found a two off, too. About 5 tries, this time. It was good fun, looking for solution. :))
