Candy Crush Saga Level 1438

Hints and tips showing how to pass level 1438 Candy Crush Saga without boosters by Allina Rumfelt.
REAL tricky level.   A points level that only requires 60,000 points.  Easy right - after all you we have 47 moves and a big open board --- HA... check out lower left corner -- a 46 move bomb.  To complicate it - it's locked and you need to use those 3 keys around it to get to it.  So obviously you want to focus on that lower left hand corner of the board.  
Make moves as far to the left as you can as you start to clear the multi hit blockers.  If you can get a chocolate bomb, use it to break the crate around the one key that isn't locked.  Use a second chocolate bomb to get the key.
That key will then unlock another key, and then the third one.  So I would say if your going to use boosters use chocolate bombs or hammers to get the keys.  Trying to get to the corner is quite difficult and requires a lot of  big combos.

This is another game which needs a lucky board - boosters really aren't much help.................

All levels in this episode were easy due to the abundance of boosters we all probably had.. Save your hammers and switch hands for 1445 as it's really hard without them. Make sure not to use them until you get down to one candy.... or use the switch after you have already made a sprinkle/stripe work and used the frog to your advantage. Fun episode don't you think???? Waiting again so will stock up once more:) Have fun all.

This is unreal. I had 61,000 and something points when the bomb went off. There was a check-mark next to "get 60,000 points" and one star filled in and it didn't give me a pass. I've got to do it again now. Detonating the bomb is not one of the requirements for passing the level.

You need 60k points in 47 moves. You did not last 47 moves. This is nothing new, there have been a few levels of this sort in the past.

Wow got lucky. .kinda forgot and thinking it was clear jelly level!! Anyway had a few choc bombs that helped one hit with a stripe. Got 120,000 3rd attempt and wondered how I passed only to look back and see it was a target level..lol regardless I did work on left side as much as possible m

I was able to make about 4 striped/wrapped combos, some stripes and bombs and was able to clear the keys without removing all of the blockers surrounding them. Cleared the bomb with 10 moves on it left, then was able to concentrate on getting enough points. One star but no boosters, 2nd try.

Got it my 3rd try, no boosters. Two chocolate/stripe combos and three stripe/wrap combos
and once the bottom left opened up a bit very, very careful playing. After I cleared the bomb I still had three moves left. Only got one star but glad to be moving on.

Why can't I move on to the next level? It's a treasure chest and it says I have 45 hrs to wait?

Are you sure. I got treasure chests on one of my tablets and every time I completed one of the 3 levels with one I was given hours of lives which accumulated from one to the next.

Got this on the fourth try. Had a colour bomb/stripe combo twice, and lots of stripe/wrap combos. Started twice with a colour bomb but found that I just wasted it. Really didn't pay attention to the bomb. Happened to kill it with one of the combos. Got up to 99K but only one star. No matter. Good luck everyone!

Started the game with a sprinkle booster, got another couple of sprinkles during the game. Used them with key colors to expose the bomb, then took it out with a stripe. Finished with 1 star.

Not an easy level. After many useless goes I kept trying to start with the left hand side and open up the board. I was lucky and got three sprinkles which exposed the bomb. I got the bomb quite easily but found I had to use every candy up before I got sugar crush! Presumably I had not reached the requisite score? Got there in the end.

Good luck, everyone.

Difficult, yes, but interesting too. As always I took notice of Cookie Kirby's comments, actually used a chocolate sprinkle booster just to hit the appropriate key, rest was down to careful strategy, watching every move and a huge slice of luck. Only one star but who's counting! Onwards.

Hi all.

Very easy level to get to the bomb but finding it hard to get close to the 60,000.

This is for those who have recently finished 1437 with 20 moves. It used to be 40. I don't think it is possible with 20. King says it is no mistake that is changed to 20. Trying to find someone who has done it with 20. I think it is impossible. I stayed up all night with that long free time they have us and could not get over 120,000. I beat people before me with less. I do not believe it is possible. I cannot even get to the point of buying it. Hate to drop out after all this time.

I did it with 20 moves ad still had a few moves left.only 20 moves on my iPad and my PC. It can be done.

Bill. said...

As with many levels easier on Pc finished second attempt. Combinations especially wrapped wrapped candy formed more readily.

Joosy said...

To Anonymous about Level 1437. I just passed with 20 moves. After about 2 days of playing, it suddenly just all came together. So yes it is possible. And to the OTHER Anonymous who said detonating the bomb is not one of the requirements of this level. Well, obviously not, but if you don't get rid of it before you're time runs out, then your board is finished. So you do have to get to it??

Thank you for your video, got thru the second time. Lucky board as well with a lot of specials forming.

Bla bla bla!!!! Again!!!!! No boosters?!!!!!!

waiting for my lucky board. too little, too late

SweetiePie said...

That means 45 hours left to open the chest before it disappears. (I am sure you know that by now).

Anonymous said...

Crazy level. I've had it with the waiting for lucky boards.

I just finished my second sugar drop and received not one chocolate ball or lollipop hammer. I need both to complete this game. Coincidence?

Unknown said...

Sprinkles matched with wraps that are of the same colours as the keys could destroy the bomb despite blockers, and leave you with plenty of time to finish the requisite moves.

Unknown said...

Who has all these saved up boosters? I use up each one as soon as I get one.

Anonymous said...

Close but not 😢. Also lucky board would be nice! 😊

Donavan said...

I have over 100 of each booster except the hand switch which I have 92 of.

MissyM said...


Wow Donovan. 100 of most Boosters. I was so clueless that I played for months before I learned that I could get a Booster every day by spinning The Wheel. DUH. (nor did I know that there were "Cheat" sites).
I used a Lucky Booster (check mark) for my first try. I cleared the level with 2 Stars on the first attempt. I don't think that people say that they got the level on the first try because they are bragging. They are merely saying that the level can be won. Who knows whether or not it's a Lucky Board.

MissyM said...


Sorry, my post was supposed to be for level 1437.

I'm getting old cos my patience is wearing very thin with these last few levels. Can't get near the 60000 points required.

AlvaroGerardo said...

I just recently completed level 1437 with 20 moves. It took me 115 tries, there's no skill whatsoever, one has to get lucky, very lucky. At the end, I had to use a hammer on the last yellow candy since I had just one move left. No combos, just a bunch of stripes to clear the left side. I still refuse to buy any more boosters. Spent $100.00 through level 1436, no more. I'll rely on the free boosters and see how far that will get me.

Unknown said...

I lucked out and won this on my first try, no boosters, by making as many special candies as I could and as the board opened up, concentrate on clearing moves on the bottom working towards the lower left. When you get a sprinkle use it on a stripe and then the color of the key on the lower left. Good luck everyone! I'm playing on my Android tablet.

Anonymous said...

I was able to pass this level after about 10 tries. I had no boosters, but got lucky with a few wrapped/striped combos and finished with 8 moves left. Good luck everyone.

Two times I had more than enough points but never gave me the win! I think that is pretty crummy! Why say you need so many points and then not give you the win?

Unknown said...

Same thing happened to me. That was on my first try. I've been on this now for several days and I can't even get close to winning it.

Unknown said...

Doesn't say 60000 in 47 moves.Just says 60000. I got 60000 but didn't get through. Some people could be spending money, so targets should be specific and not open to interpretation. Pretty shoddy, really.

patti said...

i did not even have to clear the board . just make the required points and keep playing til you are out of moves. passed first try. no boosters.
