Candy Crush Saga level 963

Tips and help for level 963 Candy Crush Saga
Clear the cream blockers between the licorice dispensers at the bottom and while you are doing that move the ingredient over so that it is sitting over the space next to the dispensers.
Once the cream blockers are clear when you clear the candy or licorice which is blocking the exit the ingredient SHOULD slip diagonally through the gap and out of the exit.

However this doesn't always work and depends which way the candies fall to fill the space in the bottom.
The best way to guarantee that the ingredient will drop down to the exit is to use a stripe/wrap combo so both the exits are clear, then the ingredient almost HAS to go down one.

Again, fun fun level. Thanks again candy crush. I'm so happy to play those fun levels.

There's a glitch in this level, the fruits wouldn't go down diagonally to the bottom, thus left an empty space, it happens several times already, so not fun at all

Anonymous said...

That last chestnut just won't go down. It was in perfect position, was hit with a colour bomb/stripe combo, even a double colour bomb combo - but nothing sent that sucker diagonally down and out! So frustrating! Am I missing something?

Anonymous said...

I haven't found the fun in this Level yet. I even played two chocolate bombs together and no luck! Hope to fine this fun soon!

Anonymous said...

I must be missing something too! That darn nut will just not drop! Extremely frustrating!

Anonymous said...

How are you supposed to make this level? It appears that the ingredients when they drop will only diagonally go left, because they sure did not go right when the opportunity presented itself, when a colour bomb and candy combination cleared the spot.

Anonymous said...

They seemed to only drop left for me. I had to clear the spot a couple of times for the coconut to fall, but it did.

Anonymous said...

I seriously dont get it,the cherries go down, but the nut doesnt.

Mary Louise said...

Has anyone found this glitch in the game. Quite a few times, with as many as 32 moves left and at least 13 lives left on the bombs, the game has ended telling me I had run out of lives.

Janet said...

I had the nut in position and both sides below the liquorice were clear and it still would not drop after hitting it more than once with a vertical striped candy. There is something wrong with it and the programmers need to fix this.

Anonymous said...

I can't get this work either. We'll have to wait for them to fix it.

Anonymous said...

i,m having the same trouble as you guys above i have bombarded the fruits with special candys and they will not budge

Unknown said...

Same problem here. Had over 30 moves left but no matter what I tried to do they won't drop. Everything is clear under neath but they won't drop. Something wrong here.

Leslie W said...

It looks like, once in position with a candy in the hole, the stripe and wrapped above the licorice machine is what brought the nut out of the exit. The wrapped going off the second time in the hole of the exit.

Anonymous said...

This is a really challenging level, but doable! The trick with getting that second ingredient out is to use two wraps next to each other at the bottom of the board. Keep patient, it will come...................

Anonymous said...

Just beat this level. The trick is once you get your ingredients in place, use a stripe and wrapper together and it will let them fall out.

Anonymous said...

I've used everything mentioned here, stripes, stripes and jelly combo's with the exits already clear. The cherries fell once but the nut will not fall.

Anonymous said...

I hope this helps someone else. After playing many, many, many games without any luck. I just finished with 32 moves left. Only the middle was cleared. I thought every thing had to be cleared on the side, but that is obviously not true. Both pieces went through the bottom at the same time. I used many combinations to finish. Amazed me when it happened.

Jane said...

One coconut wheel, one strip wrap and two hammers. Done! 3 stars. I know this is cheating but what am I ever going to do with these free boosters from sugar drop. And I can't make myself stop playing it.

Marc Shapiro said...

Still can't get the acorn to flush out ... frustrating.

Anonymous said...

I can't get either of my fruits to go down the exits. I've blasted them with all types of combos but they just sit there and won't budge. I'm playing on a mobile device :(

Anonymous said...

Wow tricky level and took a few blasts but got them down. Strange cause I thought they had to go down the port holes. Glad watched the video and got it two attempts later. All in all about 6 goes..maybe I got lucky. But there is no glitch just need to blast them and eventually they will go down gl

Cat said...

Very glad to be done with this level. The glitch I found was that each time I had cherry and nut ready and I would hit the licorice with a stripe, new licorice would drop. The only ways to remove it were stripe/wraps, choc/stripes, or two consecutive hammers (a lesson learned in a prior try which cleaned me out of hammers and moves). In the passing board, I believe ingredients then fell to both left and right sides.

And for any new posters who might wonder as to trolls- A few weeks ago I wrote I never post on levels I have yet to reach and would no longer respond to, comment on, or allude to my troll or any of my troll's posts. Except for two posts defending the admin., that has been the case and will continue to be so.

Good luck to all in this annoying level.

Finally got this level over with. if you can manage to get the fruit either side of the exit, and there is a coloured piece in the exit. Use a sprinkle with a stripe of that same colour, when it turned into a stripe and fires, both my fruit went into the exit.
It took me a couple of days, i am playing on a tablet. but now I'm over it....hope this helps somebody.

Mm

Anonymous said...

Cat, I had one left to drop but a licorice in the bottom. I used a hammer but more licorice just kept falling. Couldn't make a wrap, but shouldn't the hammer have let the candy drop??

Thanks for help!

Anonymous said...

Ok. Clearly I should post every time! I got both I. Position, one on top of other and fortunately had that side cleared so when I used the hammer on the licorice a dandy fell from the left. Another hammer and the fruit dropped but King made me use another hammer to get the last one! It should have dropped with that first one because they were in a vertical line but I'll take the win!!

Great tips everybody- don't give up. It can be done with a little patience.

CC

Cat said...

CC- Congrats.

What I was going to post, in case it helps anyone else, was when the two consecutive hammers knocked out the licorice it was replaced with a candy. Had I had a third hammer to try, it might have worked. And I stress the word might.

Good luck to all.

Anonymous said...

What fresh hell is this?!

Anonymous said...

First time at this level, both ingredients primed to fall just left of middle. Got a shot down the middle 3 times and they just stayed there. Got a bomb/stripe combo which cleared the licorice to their left and when the cascades stopped, they'd fallen out. Sheer luck, but it looks like the out-to-the-left is correct.

Anonymous said...

Fruit must be positioned alongside the dispenser NOT on top. Licorice must be cleared from the bottom dispensers too. I beat it by matching a coconut wheel with a wrapped candy. Then the coconut wheels just keep coming. NC

Anonymous said...

I think I was lucky only tool a few tries, when I was successful I had the two fruit on top of each other ready to go, I got a stripe above the exit that contained a candy and it was replace by a licorice I then had a wrap stripe combo above and the fruit went through. I am thinking that you have to have licorice in the exit row not a normal candy, the licorice may be programmed to come out after a candy and not after another licorice was taken out, that is my theory anyway. Cheers AJ

Anonymous said...

One of the hardest levels in a long time. I don't even know how to get one ingredient out and no idea what I'm doing. Waiting for lucky board.

Anonymous said...

The trick is to have the cherry and fruit in the two areas in the middle on the side off from the dispensers. Then, try to get fruit in at least 2 of the 3 spots or above each other. If you can match a choco ball with a stripe of the same color it will wipe out that whole bottom row and the fruit will drop. The key is, all three spots will have to be cleared out at one shot for the fruit to drop. Good luck!

Anonymous said...

It only works if there's candy in the exit. Once there's licorice more licorice will drop when you hit it and the fruit won't fall out. So, once the exit candies are freed from the marmalade try not to hit them again before the fruit is in the right spot. I managed to do so with the cherry and when I finally hit the exit with a stripe the cherry fell out.
Wasn't so lucky with the nut, though. A stripe went off before I had it in place and licorice blocked the exit. I hit it with everything I could think of. Stripes, wraps, stripe/wrap combination above the exit - nothing worked. What did the trick in the end were two chocolate balls that I managed to get beside each other. I was afraid that not even that would work and licorice would once again block the exit, but fortunately the nut slipped out.
I'm so glad I'm done with that level. I don't mind if a level is hard, as long as I know what I can do to beat it. Here I had absolutely no plan what to do to get the fruits out.
Good luck - Gabi

Van5 said...

Well that was brutal! Got it on about the 6th try after reading the comments here. That cherry would not go down. Whacked the licorice with a hammer, then whacked the candy with a hammer and off it went! Yay! And the cherry did slip down to the right. Didn't notice the hazelnut go down until I couldn't find it and then looked at the score to see it had gone.so happy to be past that annoying level! Good luck everyone!

Thanks for the tips but still having a hard time with this level!!

Cat said...

This is my troll. I have not yet passed 958 yet.

Guess my troll doesnt realize that.

Anonymous said...

I'm having the same problem -- I can clear to the left or right of the piece at the bottom and the cherry/nut will not drop diagonally. Doesn't matter the direction. King has this level effed up.

Anonymous said...

I had the cherry and nut in between the dispensers with a blank square in the left exit square and licorice in the middle one and two wraps right above the middle dispenser. Combined them and the the nut went down to the right and out and the cherry scooted left and out with several moves left. No boosters used. Feeling very lucky. JS

Cat said...

Hi all. Finally!!!! What a level this was.

Numerous lives wIthout getting close, then thankfully got a few lucky specials in the right places to clear the pesky bombs and the cream.

Then got the fruits in the right spot on top of one another and got down to 1 move left and had to purchase 2 hammers to get the fruit to drop.

But I had to getting that close. Just glad to be done with it! Good luck all.

Anonymous said...

I believe the trick is, that you have to blast a licorice, and then the NEXT move when you blast another licorice, a candy will drop in its place. Otherwise, another licorice will drop if you did not blast a licorice in the move immediately before it. I just did it, and a candy dropped and I was able to blast that and both the fruit and the nut (vertically stacked) rolled out.

Anonymous said...

OMG, this level was so hard, I thought I won't make it.... The idea is to get the fruits on the sides of the dispensers and then you need a little luck. The cherry I have no idea when it passed, but to drop the other one I used some power ups...
Just don't loose hope, is doable!

Anonymous said...

I've used lots of specials and still can't get the acorn to drop. Please allow my a lucky board soon. Thank you.

Ornursecandy said...

Well that was weird. After spending over a week on the last level, I got this on the first try with three stars. The hazelnut was still in the wrong column and I matched a sprinkle with a stripe. In all the exploding madness, the nut went down and out without me doing anything. It took me the rest of the game to get the stupid cherry to move over!

Anonymous said...

You need to use the hammer to get the nut down. Anything else just allows another licorice to drop.

Bill. said...

Need to move the one fruit sideways then wrapped/striped candy should clear the way once you have cleared the jelly. Four attempts.

Bling59 said...

Got it on the third try. I kept restarting till I had three timed bombs the same colour. Then switched them so at least one fruit was in position. Then it was a case of wrapped/striped combos. Three did it.

Unknown said...

Omg. All this time I thought they were apples! Apples and cherries right?! Guess not! My mind is blown.

Anonymous said...

It doesn't work!

Anonymous said...

Tin tin here. Read all the comments and was prepared for a nasty level. Got it in less than 10 tries. I just concentrated on opening up the bottom part of the board first. You already have one fruit there and just need the second one to come down. It is tricky though, and I ended up doing it with both candies one above the other and setting of an exploding wrapped candy next to it, they both fell down.

I must say that these last few episodes seem to be easier than some of the earlier ones. Most of them are quite easy, and the nasty ones only seem to take a day or so to get. Makes a pleasant change from some that took me days and days to finish.

Having a lot of difficulty with this level. I have to be doing something wrong!

Tricky level but I will keep trying. Bombs, I hate bombs.

Anonymous said...

Having fought through Levels 1-962 it is totally disgusting to have a level like 963.
I have played it dozens of time. I am not going to spend one penny on boosters to win this game design disaster.
It's not humorous one darn bit.
It is a sad negative tribute to CC's outstanding game design staff !!

Anonymous said...

This is a toughie! I have managed to get one candy to drop but not the second. Haven't figure out exactly what is making it drop so I can't really apply the strategy to the second one! Back at it....

Anonymous said...

Okay, managed to clear it right after I made my post on here. :) I did notice that both candies fell to the left, and it looked like there had been an opportunity for it to fall right but it didn't. Anyway, I managed to get the coveted stripe/wrap combo right where I needed it! Yay!

Anonymous said...

I just don't get it! Nothing moves those ingredients. Even with double sprinkle bombs nothing happens. How do you do it?

Anonymous said...

I've bombarded it with all sorts of great combinations including double sprinkle bombs, striped and wrapped and nothing happens. The ingredients don't drop or move!

Anonymous said...

JSN: Being several months behind the earliest players of levels, problems they complain about are fixed by the time I get to them. But not this time. It's frustrating to have both left and right drops open, but the fruit not going down either drop.

Anonymous said...

JSN: Well, I got it. Tried to discern a pattern to which side (left or right) the fruit would drop down. The comments above seemed to indicate that the fruits' preference was to the left. However, both mine went down to the right in a single move. My final move was a wrapped-striped combo on the lowest level of the left side. This might have had something to do with the direction (away from the blast) or it could be totally random. Except for the frustration of the fruit not falling properly, it was a fun level, involving a lot of strategy. Two more levels and I'm done with another episode.

Anonymous said...

Both fruits positioned one on each side of middle dispenser. Licorice in exit but i hit the licorice with a double stripe and both fruits went down. Trick is to hit the licorice or candy in the exit, NOT THE FRUIT. no boosters used, 23 moves left, three stars and a whole lot of luck!

Anonymous said...

When I get to a frustrating level,I go back to other levels where I can collect a lot of candy drops and earn boosters. I've even written down some of the easiest levels to get lots of candy.

This level is total bull....!! I should have beat it over 100 times. Just stupid and frustrating as hell! Shittiest level yet and I've seen some shitty ones!!

Anonymous said...

I just don't get this level at all. No matter what I do, I can't get the fruit to drop. Impossible level. Very frustrating. How the hell are you supposed to do this level?

Raylo said...

Anonymous October 3, I'm with you. No matter WHAT I do, it just sits there! I've used all kinds of combos and nothing works. This level stinks!

Anonymous said...

Not liking this one at all. Fruit seems to get stuck and nothing I do will make it drop. I agree with all the comments above that this one is totally shi**y.

cardinaldave10 said...

Just another stupid level that can only be beaten with blind luck.

Anonymous said...

It looks like an onion to me.

Unknown said...

I figured out why the bottoms dont drop, if one to the left bottom of candy drops, then the next drop will be right of the candy. They swith off which diagnal pattern is open for drop. Ugh
I finished but had to smash to figure out

Seattle said...

My first post, hope it helps. Played for days, then read the hint that someone just stayed in the middle of the board. Probably was luck, but I tried to play in the middle as much as I could and they both fell out, 3 moves left, 3 stars, didn't have to use boosters, glad it is over.

Anonymous said...

Was able to use two chocolaté bombs twice but coule mot drop second fruit. Frustrating!

This is the first level that I've played where I'm not even sure what I'm trying to do! May be the end of my cc days.

Not much in the way of recent comments on here for this level; was hoping someone could enlighten me as to how the heck to get those ingredients out!! Well I guess I'll have to keep trying....

kat said...

OMG OMG OMG!!! Commenting on here worked - I passed the very next time. Don't even remember how many points and how many moves left, but I honestly don't care about that very much. So what I think happened was that I had both ingredients sitting on top of each other at the bottom and then got a wrapped/striped combo, which I set off - and TA-DA!!!! Very glad to be done with this!!

Anonymous said...

Not fun! Impossible!

kat said...

That's what I thought, until I posted on here and made it the very next try :-) Don't give up hope!!

AlisonV said...

It just will not let me win. SIGH.

AlisonV said...

Well knock me over with a feather.... read the comments here and other events the game! Thank you for the advice folks.

MMarie said...

Several things have to happen in one game. Clear the pastry, move the ingredient, keep the escape clear of licorice (or hit twice!), and hope for the best with the timed bombs ... Once I realized that (thanks to this site), I knew it was a matter of time, luck, and patience. Oh, and the combos helped. It can be done, fellow Crushers.

Sharyn said...

I lined up the cherry and walnut so they would go down diagonally. Used a wrapped stripe combo between. They both went down at the same time. This was done on third try at came. Not necessary to clear side blocks. Just remove ones in middle

PaulaB said...

I don't even know what the hell I am doing on this ridiculous level! I am totally clueless on what I have to do, therefore, I am DONE! Candy Crush is supposed to be fun and relaxing, not confusing and blood-pressure raising! This is THE FINAL STRAW, Candy Crush!!!!

Teresa said...

Sigh...

I see this level hasn't got any easier with the passage of time!!! It would help if I knew what I was supposed to be doing. I have used every combo known to man and I'm still left with the nut thing. Help.

I cannot for the life of me get the fruit to go down! I've tried everything cookie said and they won't move. Getting annoyed now.

This has not got any easier over the years! I can't get the last fruit down no matter what I do, bored now.

Lorraine said...

I can’t get either one of them to fall .... there’s no way they go straight down so I’ve tried diagonally too....nothing ! Very frustrating!

Lorraine said...

Nothing I do drops these down . Nothing ! I have NO idea how to beat this level . So tired of starting over all the time. Maybe I have to look for a new game . I’ve tried all the advice given here but just can’t seem to do this one . Get them to the bottom and that’s it ,..,,never move after that. Too frustrating.
