Profile Perfect Level 172 Hints And Walkthrough
Profile Perfect Level 172 starts with two locked answers and a tangle of clues about umbrellas, their patterns, poles, accessories, occupants, and weather. Slash-separated cells show up in several spots—meaning a single umbrella can have two occupants or two accessories at once. Here’s how I made sense of it all step by step.
Step 1: Use the initial answers to place the alien and confirm misty weather
The puzzle already locks Umbrella A’s accessory as Bottle and Umbrella B’s weather as Misty. The first clue tells us a visitor from outer space shows up during misty weather. That visitor is an Alien, so Umbrella B’s occupant is Alien. The clue also reconfirms Umbrella B’s weather is Misty, which matches the initial answer.
Step 2: Pin down Umbrella A’s pattern and Umbrella D’s pole material
Clue 2 says the Bottle does not belong to a Plain or Striped umbrella. Since Umbrella A already has the Bottle, its pattern can’t be Plain or Striped—the only other option available is Polkadot. So Umbrella A’s pattern is Polkadot.
Clue 3 directly states that Umbrella D’s pole is made of Gold, so Umbrella D’s pole material is Gold.
Step 3: Link the Speaker to Umbrella E and the Flag to Umbrella B
Clue 4 mentions music coming from under umbrella E, which means Umbrella E’s accessory is a Speaker. Clue 6 adds that the Alien is examining a Flag attached to its umbrella, so Umbrella B gets a Flag as an accessory. That’s one of two accessories for B—the puzzle later shows B also has a Lantern.
Step 4: Place the Checkered pattern and the Striped pattern
Clue 7 says the Checkered pattern umbrella sits beside the one with a Gold pole. Umbrella D has the Gold pole, so its neighbors are C and E. The solved grid tells us Umbrella C is Checkered, and that’s the only fit. So Umbrella C’s pattern is Checkered.
Clue 8 follows directly: the umbrella with a Speaker has a Striped pattern. Umbrella E has the Speaker, so Umbrella E’s pattern is Striped.
Step 5: Determine Umbrella D’s pattern and confirm the Couple’s location
Clue 9 says the Couple has their own umbrella, which we already know is Umbrella E (from the Couple being its occupant). The same clue reveals that Umbrella D’s pattern is Plain. That makes sense because the only patterns left after A (Polkadot), C (Checkered), and E (Striped) are Plain for both B and D. Now D is Plain, so B must be Plain too—but we’ll confirm B’s pattern later through process of elimination.
Step 6: Lock in Umbrella A’s weather and Umbrella D’s occupants and weather
Clue 10 tells us the Polkadot umbrella holds strong under Stormy weather. Since Umbrella A is Polkadot, its weather is Stormy.
Clue 11 is a big one: a Sailor and his pet cat are hiding under an umbrella from the Sun. This points to Umbrella D, which gets two occupants—Cat and Sailor—and its weather turns out to be Sunny. The clue also repeats that Umbrella A’s pattern is Polkadot (already set).
Step 7: Assign pole materials from the “striped 4 columns away” clue and the “no Wood neighbor” rule
Clue 13 says the Striped umbrella (Umbrella E) is 4 columns away from the Wooden pole. Counting columns A through E, A is column 1, E is column 5—exactly 4 apart. So Umbrella A’s pole material is Wood.
Clue 14 then lays out the remaining pole materials. It tells us that Fiberglass and Plastic cannot be next to the Wood pole (Umbrella A). The only neighbor of A is B, so B cannot be Fiberglass or Plastic. The clue directly assigns: Umbrella B’s pole is Aluminum, Umbrella C’s is Fiberglass, Umbrella E’s is Plastic, and Umbrella D’s is Gold (already known). Clue 15 reinforces that Fiberglass (C) is stronger than Plastic (E) and also mentions Aluminum (B).
Step 8: Fill in Umbrella A’s occupants and Umbrella C’s occupant and weather
Clue 16 says the occupants under the Wood pole umbrella might be starting a war—that’s Pirate and Soldier. So Umbrella A gets both Pirate and Soldier in its occupant cell.
Clue 17 tells us Lights help a Lifeguard be wary of surroundings. Umbrella C has Lights (from Clue 12, which said B and C have lighting accessories—for C that means Lights), so Umbrella C’s occupant is Lifeguard. The same clue also notes C’s pole is Fiberglass, already set.
Clue 18 finishes with the Lifeguard ready to dash out under heavy winds, so Umbrella C’s weather is Windy.
Step 9: Fill the remaining blanks by elimination
Now we have most traits locked. Let’s see what’s left:
- Patterns: A Polkadot, C Checkered, D Plain, E Striped. The only pattern not assigned is Plain, which must go to Umbrella B.
- Accessories: A Bottle, B Lantern/Flag (Flag from Clue 6, Lantern from Clue 12), C Lights, E Speaker. The only remaining accessory is Towel for Umbrella D.
- Occupants: A Pirate/Soldier, B Alien, C Lifeguard, D Cat/Sailor, E Couple. All full.
- Weathers: A Stormy, B Misty, C Windy, D Sunny. The leftover weather is Rainy, which fits Umbrella E.
Clue 5 (Couple not next to Alien) is already satisfied because Umbrella E (Couple) and Umbrella B (Alien) are separated by C and D—not neighbors. No further adjustment needed.
Everything lines up perfectly with the solved grid.
Trickiest Clues In Profile Perfect Level 172
Clue 14: “Fiberglass and Plastic do not have Wood neighbor”
This one trips players up because it doesn’t directly say which umbrella is which—it just blocks possibilities. The key is realizing that only Umbrella B is adjacent to the Wood pole (A). So B cannot be Fiberglass or Plastic, leaving Aluminum as the only option for B. Then the clue goes ahead and names the materials for C, E, and D, effectively solving the entire pole row if you treat it as a direct assignment rather than a restriction.
Clue 12: “Umbrella B and C are equipped with lighting accessories”
This clue lists Lantern for B and Lights for C, but it also mentions Flag for B and Speaker for E. That’s confusing because it seems like it’s just repeating earlier clues. The takeaway: treat it as confirmation that B gets both a Lantern and a Flag (slash-separated), and that C gets Lights. Don’t assume “lighting accessories” means only one per umbrella—B’s Flag isn’t a light, but the clue is simply grouping the accessories for both B and C together.
Clue 11: “Sailor and his pet are hiding under the umbrella from the Sun”
This clue packs a lot into one sentence: it gives Umbrella D two occupants (Cat and Sailor) and its weather (Sunny). It also repeats Umbrella A’s pattern as Polkadot for some reason. The slash-separated occupant cell is easy to miss—you might think the Sailor and the cat are separate umbrellas, but the solved grid shows they share one cell. Always check for multiple values in the same cell when a clue mentions more than one person or thing for a single subject.
Final Thoughts
Profile Perfect Level 172 wraps up neatly once you trust the several clue chains that assign pole materials, patterns, and weathers in quick succession. The trickiest part is handling the slash-separated cells—occupants and accessories that both belong to the same umbrella. Pay close attention to clues that mention two items for one subject, and don’t be afraid to use pure elimination for the last few spots. With a little patience, every Umbrella A through E falls into place. Happy solving!
