Tricky Test 2 Level 45

Overview

The prompt reads "Try to smile at the camera as wide as you can!" A vintage brown camera body is shown in the center of the screen with a large octagonal blue lens. There is no visible face to smile with and no physical button to press. The trick is that the word "smile" in the instruction sentence is itself a draggable object. You must physically drag the word "smile" out of the text and drop it into the camera lens. Once the word is inside the lens, the camera "takes the photo" and the success message "That's an awesome smile!" appears.

• Difficulty: Regular
• Estimated moves: 1 drag

Step-by-Step Solution

1. Read the instruction: "Try to smile at the camera as wide as you can!" Look closely at the wording.
2. Do NOT tap the camera lens or try to make a facial expression at the screen — there is no face-tracking or camera feed involved.
3. Find the word "smile" inside the instruction sentence. It is the second word, located between "to" and "at".
4. Press and hold your finger on the word "smile" to grab it. It is draggable.
5. Drag the word "smile" downward off the text and move it into the blue octagonal camera lens in the center of the camera body.
6. Release your finger when the word "smile" is centered inside the blue lens.
7. The text in the sentence collapses (it now reads "Try to ____ at the camera as wide as you can!") and the word "smile" appears written inside the lens. The success message "That's an awesome smile!" then appears, confirming the level is cleared.

Strategy & Reasoning

This is a wordplay puzzle. The instruction tells you to "smile at the camera," but there is no person or face in the scene. The only thing in front of the camera is the written word "smile" itself. The designers made individual words in the prompt draggable, which is a recurring mechanic in Tricky Test 2. By dragging the word "smile" into the lens, you literally make the camera "see" a smile. Trying to tap the shutter area, swipe on the lens, or speak to the microphone does nothing. The correct behavior is tactile text manipulation. This is the same family of trick as level 46 (dragging "elephant") and level 61 (dragging "121 times"): a word in the prompt is a physical object you move.

Tips & Common Mistakes

• Mistake: Tapping the camera lens repeatedly expecting a photo shutter. Correct approach: the lens is only a drop target; do not tap it empty.
• Mistake: Speaking or miming a smile at the device. Correct approach: this game has no front-camera face detection here; the solution is purely drag-and-drop of text.
• Mistake: Dragging the wrong word (e.g. "camera" or "wide"). Correct approach: only the word "smile" can be picked up; drag exactly that word into the lens.
• Mistake: Dropping the word outside the lens. Correct approach: center it inside the blue octagonal glass; if it bounces back, re-drag until it sticks.
