Bitter Lemming is the twelfth level of the Tricky difficulty in Lemmings.
Strategy[]
Nasty start! You must apply Floater skills on each arriving Lemming, or they'll splatter. The first Lemming to land safely in the pit should start building stairs in a zigzag pattern to create a safety net for the remaining Lemmings.
Allow one of the Lemmings at the bottom to be a Miner to reach the bedrock and those two pillars. Use two Bashers to clear the way, then build up to reach the top of the middle pillar. Place a Blocker to turn Lemmings back towards the exit then build again to reach it. Raise the release rate to 99 and bomb the sole Blocker to finish the level.
100% strategy[]
Turn all Lemmings into Floaters. Once all Lemmings came through the entrance, turn one Lemming into an Athlete (don't worry about it going left as a small ledge will cause it to hit its head and turn back to the right). Once he reaches the right edge of the large brick structure, have it build one bridge to get directly above the exit. Then turn all Lemmings into Athletes.
Version differences[]

- The left side of the pit under the entrance does not have a ledge to turn Climbers around if they're heading left.
