Candy Crush Saga Level 486

Hints and tips showing how to pass level 486 Candy Crush Saga without boosters.
Level 486 is classified as a hard level so you can expect to lose quite a few lives before you manage to pass it.
You have 45 moves to clear the jelly and complete the level.
First unlock as many locked cells as you can, but don't let the chocolate spread too much. 
Once you have a bit more space to work you should focus on clearing the cake bomb in the middle of the board, do this by making stripes and wraps and if possible switching them together so that the blast will clear sections of the cake.
It may take a few goes to clear the cake, but once you do clear it the blast will clear all the chocolate from the board as well as a layer of jelly and cream from the blockers in the corners.
Once the locked candies and cake are gone it will be much easier to make special candies and combos to clear the remaining jelly.

If the level you play is different from the one here it is because the developers have changed it since I played and I have no control over this. Please let me know in the comments and I will try to change it.

This is NOT the level that comes up on ipad, which happens to be almost impossible.

Anonymous said...

I have that as well. Level 1485 is also different on galaxy then facebook.

Unknown said...

That is not the level on my iPad. This the third time in this episode that has happened. The one I have has a lot of popcorns which are impossible to get at. Check on this please.

Jo said...

I agree with other comments. On my iPad there are popcorns and the top two I just cannot get. I have thrown everything at it!

anonymous37 said...

YES...what Mary said. It's the third level on this episode that's different and more difficult than what's shown. This is ridiculous. Even out the playing field, KING! (just in case they read these comments). I can't get the top two popcorns either, same as Jo.

I have used boosters at one time. Not even close. This may be the end for me. BS level!*

I've just passed this level on my ipad (third try), so don't give up. I was lucky and got two colour bombs next to each other which helped with the popcorn, then used a hammer whenever I had a vertical stripe under the popcorn.

Anonymous said...

Playing on android phone. Different to above and extremely frustrating. Trying to concentrate on color bomb stripe combos but cascades messing them up. Got close needing one good move to break top left popcorn but ran out of moves. This game needs 10-15 more moves to make it doable. I will get it but geez a fighting chance. WE ARE GOOD BUT NOT NOT MAGICIANS!!

I would advise you to play on a PC if you have that option. I wasted so many boosters playing it on the iPad and wasn't even getting close. Just won on my second try on PC. Now on to the next level which is marked as "hard level"......who defines what's hard?

Anonymous said...

Yeah 1487 was definitely not a HARD level. Just got through it on the first try......it amazes me which levels they define as hard!!.,

Anonymous said...

So I just realized that level 1486 on the PC is the same as 1488 on the iPad. So if you can't get through 1486 on the iPad definitely go to PC. Even though it's defined as a HARD level, it wasn't bad. Then you get to do it again when you get to level 1488 on the iPad. Confusing episode with these differences.

anonymous37 said...

Well, I finished this awful level, but it took a lot of effort and boosters. I managed to get two color bombs together but of course combining them only grows the popcorn so much. I used a couple of hand switches to get verticals to pop the top popcorn. Also had to use 5 extra moves plus two hammers to break the top right color bomb after the popcorn popped and then the resulting last candy. All boosters/moves earned from sugar drops. I'd never pay to finish this level. Good riddance!

Cat said...

On iPad. Awful level in a truly unfun episode. Several tries finally with all three boosters, always resetting for adjacent choc ball/stripe, making sure the stripe had a candy of the same color under or soon to be under both popcorns, in hopes the candy would be a vertical stripe. Took a lucky stripe/wrap and a hand switch. Can anyone tell me what the point is of choc balls which always fall in the corners?
Good luck to all.

LBC said...

Playing iPhone and it's one of many levels recently that does not match up with what is shown. Don't see how it is possible to get top popcorns without more moves. Takes too long to set up stripe wrap combos or stripe sprinkle combo for bottom ones.

Anonymous said...

On android phone. After what felt like hundreds turns and hours I had 5 moves and right top popcorn open with color ball in it and still needed one hit on popcorn. Only 2 hammers and didn't realise as am sure have tried hammer on popcorn b4 and didnt work..anyway this time it did...carefully played next move that gave me a stripe wrap under near bottom so I cleared that and yay got that last choc ball top right out and then used my last hammer to clear the last jelly. It was only the 2nd time had got this far but ran out of moves to clear both left and right tops of the color bombs. Awful level that truly must hv been tested by a luck arse!! Why are there different games compared to same on Facebook
..guaranteed this will be replaced by the one on FB which I did try but having to wait for new lives came back to my phone. I should say I didn't do anything different..just lucky as per above that my stripes went the right way for a change to attack top.popcorns. next level says hard but without having looked am sure will be easy compared to this nonsense! ! Good luck just concentrate bon stripe color ball combos and stripe wrap are useless unless they hit the top popcorn

Mrs. M said...

While I enjoyed playing this level on my ipad, I must admit that hitting those 2 pop corns on top, was the hardest thing ever. No matter how many chocolate balls I got, it didn't hit them enough. I had to switch back to PC and use a hammer.
I swear that once one gets to these high levels, they expect you to use your boosters. I think that stinks.

anonymous37 said...

Cat, I agree about the choco balls in the corners. I thought, what the heck are they good for??? I think this was one of the poorest designed levels.

Mrs. M...I don't mind using boosters since we can earn them through sugar drops. What I do mind is when the games are designed so that even with boosters they're ridiculously hard.

For example, level 1490 should be relatively easy, collecting orders, but some of us (I use iphone) would have several moves left (ex. 9), needing about 5 licorice. I'd match for great cascades yet very few licorice dropped. Several times I'd end up needing one or two till I finally passed. It was incredibly boring and frustrating and no booster would bring down more licorice.

same issue 1486 with top popcorn virtually impossible please sort out ASAP think will meet it again on 1488.

David said...

Agree with comments about the frustration of games being so different on I-phone compared to PC. However, just beat this level on the I-phone after 4 tries with no boosters. The key for me was to put a strip and candy packet together so they would blast up and down. Was fortunate enough to do this twice and then got a color bomb next to a strip. Game over. Keep the faith, it can be done.

After I finally passed the level and played the next one, I came to level 1488. This was marked as a hard level. I thought a mistake was made, so I closed the game, restarted it, nothing changed. So I checked here. What a horror: prepare to have to do this level again! That is, if you play this level here on a mobile device, you will have to do it again in two levels time!

Hammer will destroy the popcorns on Android only. Can complete this level easier on PC using less boosters.

Helpme said...

Well.I guess I'm done I don't have a pc and both my tablet and cell have a version that appears impossible. I have tried everything and can't get the top bombs. So I am leaving to find life without candy crush. Sorry to go but can't figure out why give me a game that can't be won

cherylb said...

On my iPad I have the level with the four popcorn at .the top two being impossible to remove both...I did manage to blow up the one in the top right...the same level is on my android phone...this is totally crazy....I have six free hrs of lives from a treasure chest and I have a feeling I still won't get it.....I plan on trying my PC later, but it may just be time to go to candy crush rehab cause this isn't what I call fun ..and I don't buy booster Mr King, so just fix this level or you're going to loose a lot of players

SharonH said...

What good are the chocolate bombs that just fall into the corner? Just asking...I see no way to beat this on iPad and iPhone because we have no boosters to start, and that is just one of its many issues...I would like King to explain why the different versions on different devices! And the thought that on 1488, the same thing? Might be time to delete the app, unless King makes the much needed changes to both levels.

Anonymous said...

I sent King three emails regarding levels 1486 and 1488 being the same on my two Android tablets and my Android cell. 1st answer told me to watch youtube videos to see how to win, 2nd answer said I was mistaken because the games were different. Finally, this morning I received a very apologetic email saying they did look the same and he sent my emails to the developement team.

Thank you Sharon, way to go girl! Let's hope those goons at the development dept will rectify this oversight soon.

I've been playing this level on an ipad & i was finding it hard to get the top 2 popcorns so went on the pc & its a different game altogether for level 1486 !!!! Whats going on cc ? ....are you trying to get us fed up with playing candy crush so we'll play another King game as your running out of levels for us to play on candy crush ?

Annonymous said...

Passed on first try but had to use 4 hammers. Good luck LA

None said...

Complete trash.

None said...

They wrote, "level 1486 is not a hard level to pass". That's true, it's not hard, it's impossible. Assholes

Annonymous said...

I apologize. That comment was for the level before this one. This one is just evil!! LA

Anonymous said...

Reply to None @1326. The reason this level isn't marked hard is because it is the wrong level. If you look at the video it is totally different. But, get ready because this is identical to level 1488 (marked as a hard level)so you will have to do it again.

Anonymous said...

Horrible impossible level. No idea how to win it. No fun at all. Waiting for lucky board.

Anonymous said...

I made a previous comment yesterday about level 1486 being a different game on pc ,well that game has now appeared as level 1488 on ipad !
So anyone stuck on this level try the pc if you have one ....you could have a different game like me .
Now stuck on level 1489 !

Anonymous said...

I agree with all the comments on level 1486, I'm just about ready to walk away from playing candy crush after at least 2 years. The level is ridiculous and the amount of time king takes to real se 15 new levels is helping me get over my addiction.

Does anyone else have issues with CC freezing up and you not only lose the game but any boosters used and candies earned?

Anonymous said...

Previous comments are correct, level 1486 is the same as 1488. For the tips on level 1486, go to tips for 1488. Doesn't make it ANY easier, but the video matches the game.

Why are my postings being removed? I check every time I post something and it is there but when I go back a few hours later it is gone.

I had trouble with this level on iPhone so I went to my pc - breezed right through a different level. When I got to level 1488 on my pc, it was the difficult level with the popcorns in the corners so I went back to my iPhone & it was the easy level that had been in my computer so I was able to move on without needing to complete that impossible level.

Anonymous said...

Passed 2nd attempt on PC (the game with all reds to start.) The lucky drop to get 2 sprinkles together really helped. Looked on my phone and it's a different game, and much harder.

Chris said...

Almost impossible on ipad...passed eith two choc balls together (thanks to a switch hand) and with a hammer on the last jelly. The hammer didn't work on popcorns.... Horrible level.

SharonH said...

All I can say is wait till you get to level 1489, if you think 1486 and 1488 are bad...so close to calling it quits. I play to get sugar drops so I have a few options, only to use them all on 1486, 1488 and 1489 And the last time I did the sugar drop thing, it didn't give me anything after 5 high number sugar drop levels and over 180+ points. Emailed King and they said they gave me a few boosters, but never received them. I don't play any of the other King games and won't, if that is their intent...

No way to get top popcorn!!!

Just about luck required with this board as many of the levels... sucks tho cause its been the longest I've been stuck on a level!! Grrrr

Here's how to pass this level if you're stuck on it on your iOS: Go play it on the computer thru Facebook. It's very easy to beat it. Then go back to your iOS and it should update you to the next level.

Annonymous said...

This is just stupid. It's insulting to even keep doing it over and over. LA

Annonymous said...

I hate when the game I am on ends up under the logo for the other games they are promoting. Remove them!! I keep hitting either the owl or the logo trying to play the level!! LA

Annonymous said...

I had to break down and play it on the pc. The versoon on phone and ipad is impossible. The pc game is easy. Good luck LA

Julie d said...

This is a totally impossible level when playing on iPad. It's not often I get this frusrtrated but it's obviously a level so badly designed it's impossible to beat. The two top popcorns cannot be crushed no matter which boosters are used.fish are useless and won't eat the jelly beneath. I reckon the only thing that will work is at least 3 chocolate sprinkles matched to beat this level, and what are the odds of that ? Sort it out King. And why are games not the same on PCs and mobile ? How is that fair ??? I'm finding myself playing more and more of my other games recently as I'm so pissed off .dont waste your boosters folks til they sort this out.

Julie d said...

Straight after posting my last comment I got 2 lots of chocolate sprinkles which grew all my popcorn massively ! What are the odds ?? It still took 4 of my lollipop hammers to clear the level though. NASTY ! Glad to move on . Good luck everyone, don't waste fish boosters and don't try lollipops on popcorn, they are useless .

Julie d said...

I am now totally and utterly pissed off .after having passed this level yesterday using loads of my boosters I moved up to level 1488 , played it a few times then this evening King have decided to swap 1486 and 1488 around. I assume this is to make it the same as the pc versions. So not only did I waste boosters but I now have to play this nightmare level again !!! Ffs !!!

Anonymous said...

King has finally put the correct level 1486 with all the red candies (same as pc version). Up to now 1486 has been the same as 1488 on mobile.

1486 which is now 1488 was eventually doable. After about 50 tries, I had to buy and use one extra move to get the last popcorn popped and finish. But now I have to do it again!! I passed it when it was 1486 and by the time I was trying 1488, it was switched to 1488 with the much easier 1486. Nothing to do, but play it 50 more times I guess.

Anonymous said...

Ok, so I have beaten this level twice now on iPad, it appears they may have made it a little easier. Don't do this again King ! Your messing with us !!

Cat said...

To anon. 2/7 at 18:21-
Had the same issue with the freezing as you've had, lost lives and sugar drops, maybe five times. Haven't emailed anyone. Figured I'd get around to it if it keept happening.

Thank goodness King just changed this level on iPad today!

Anonymous said...

Android stage has been updated. No longer same as 1488.

Sami said...

Damn you King... took some of my boosters decided to change it!! Not fair!!!! You ripped us off with this level, I think you should compensate us for that!

Anonymous said...

Level 1486 has totally changed in the last few days. Much easier to pass.

Anonymous said...

Not easier on android tablet...just impossible to get the top popcorns. No matter how many stripe color bomb combos not a single one hits those two popcorns. May call it quits on this one...just stupid.

Anonymous said...

I still working on this on the iPad. Observation, though... Using fish doesn't work. Even when the only jelly left is under the popcorn, the fish will not eat it. They just go for random candies.

Anonymous said...

The color bombs do not always drop to the bottom corner. If you can manage to keep the stripes intact in the corner, you can use the bomb with another stripe on the conveyor. I managed to do this twice on the same level, used the bomb/stripe combos, and viola! All the other jelly is pretty inconsequential to completing the level. Concentrate on the popcorn only and try not to activate the other boosters until the popcorn is popped. I hope this helps anyone who is hopelessly stuck on the iphone or ipad version.

Impossible to get the top popcorns on iPad!! But why CC, please tell me why it is impossible on iPad and not on the laptop?
If this is what you want ..... Now it is my time to say goodbye, I really don't like it anymore!! I quit, goodbye!!

Somehow got throught this level after a couple of days, but level 1486 now is the same puzzle!! Have to do this twice. I am playong on ipad

I'm throwing everything I've got at this level on my iPad! Not even coming close to destroying the popcorn at the top!

I've been on this level for days on my iPad and still haven't passed! Extremely ridiculous level! Hate it!!

Unknown said...

Fun but very difficult on my android. Played on my laptop and won right away. Totally different! Thought there was a mistake. There are no popcorns or conveyor belts, but there is pesky chocolate. With all the specials not too hard. SO, IF YOU'RE HAVING TROUBLE, PLAY THIS LEVEL ON A PC. GOOD LUCK!

Bill. said...

All red jelly on phone. Easiest when the chocolate bombs are next to each other even then tricky.

Lucky me said...

Very confused by comments about popcorns , have all red candies on my iPad! Must have been changed, keep trying until you get two candy bombs together or you can switch them together, then no problem.

jubes said...

This is my first and last comment.My android level 1486 aint what it is on this blog. No joy after 100's trys. Spent time building war chest of dozens of mostly usless boosters. All boosters vanished - 4th time this has happened. Worse next try one jelly left, 5 moves to go - but the 8 hammers I had had been stolen. Failed of course. King is evil. If this was a gambling site they would have been prosecuted. So longg suckers
