How to Solve Bubble Match Level 172 — Full Solution
- Merge plaid-shirt glasses deer -> gray round-glasses deer, then tall tan red-beanie reindeer -> small tan red-beanie reindeer. Return to tan and red-glasses deer -> the deer partial; Deers with Glasses clears at 1/9 at Move 41.
- As the preserved reindeer pair is extended, the `Move +1` overlay and post-reward counter both read 40. Add the red-green and green-red beanie reindeer; Reindeers with Christmas Beanies clears at 2/9 near Move 39.
- Interleave Lady Santas with Santa Claus: build the dark-haired/dark-skinned Lady pair, start dark-skinned/round Santa, then finish the four women. Lady Santas clears at Move 34; the `Move +1` overlay reads 34 and the post-reward counter settles at 35. The refill exposes DO NOT DISTURB.
- Build four microphone snowmen while preserving the Santa pair; Snowmen with Microphones clears around Move 31. Add white-bearded and glasses Santa to the earlier pair; Santa Claus clears around Move 27.
- Prepare four late groups in parallel: gold -> silver bell, green -> white tree, broad cabin -> dark cottage, and luggage cart -> DO NOT DISTURB. The `Move +1` overlay and post-reward counter both read 24 during this staging. Extend each while finishing the bells; Types of Bells clears at 6/9 at Move 21.
- Use the refill to finish the light-timber/red-snowy house partial, blue-white/white-gold tree partial, and service-bell/bellhop-hat hotel partial. These are interleaved manual clicks, not isolated blocks.
- The closing house merges lower Move 20 -> 19 -> 18, and Winter Houses resolves at 7/9 with Move 18 displayed. The `Move +1` overlay and post-reward counter both read 18; Christmas Trees and Hotel Items then resolve automatically at 8/9 and 9/9 before WELL DONE.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Combining glasses deer with Christmas-beanie reindeer ignores the accessory split.
- Treating the board's DO NOT DISTURB door hanger as a phone overlay loses a Hotel Item.
- Mixing a service bell with Types of Bells breaks the function-based hotel set.
Quick Tips for Bubble Match Level 172 (quick clues)

Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Move 45 and 0/9 open with thirty-six deer, reindeer, Santa characters, snowmen, bells, houses, trees, and hotel items.
- Goal
- Clear Deers with Glasses, Reindeers with Christmas Beanies, Lady Santas, Snowmen with Microphones, Santa Claus, Types of Bells, Winter Houses, Christmas Trees, and Hotel Items; the final label reaches 9/9 at Move 18.
- Opening
- Merge a glasses-deer pair, start the red-beanie reindeer pair, then finish the glasses deer. Move 45 -> 41 proves the future reindeer group begins before the first label.
- Danger Zone
- Glasses deer stay outside the Christmas-beanie reindeer set; the board's DO NOT DISTURB door hanger is a Hotel Item, unlike the transient phone overlay.
- Mechanics
- Refills add bells, trees, houses, and the hotel hanger. The four visible `Move +1` overlays and post-reward stable values are 40 -> 40, 34 -> 35, 24 -> 24, and 18 -> 18 before the automatic tree/hotel finish.
