Candy Crush Saga Level 1888

Hints and tips showing how to pass level 1888 Candy Crush Saga without boosters by Cookie
This is a timed level and you have to score 35,000 points in 75 seconds. This may seem quite a lot of time, but the board is very restricted to begin with so you won't get any extra time candies until you have cleared some of the blockers and can get some cascades going.
Once the cascades start you should get some extra time candies to extend your play.
You shouls look for colour bomb patterns all the time, it's worth spending a couple of seconds to find the colour bombs as this will give you a much higher score than simply making matches of three.

First of all: I hate time levels. And, the first 2-3 attempts I even didn't come close. Don't use a colour bomb to start waith: it's a 100% waste and will not really generate a lot of points with such a limited number of candies on the board.

I finished the level with only 15.000 points, than all the cascades generated 20.000 points together, so I went over 30.000 points. So, don't 'angry' stop the game, and let the cascades do their job. Work on a 'large' board and make space for as much candies as possible to keep this 'end cascade' going!

Good luck from the Netherlands!

Is there a bug in this level. More often than not I am getting no more moves available after the first turn.

Such a ridiculous level. So many shuffles and then end of game as there are no more moves, sometimes after only 1 move. Only once did I get close and then I was short by 460 points. Need to sort out the glitch in this game.

Posting for luck also! A lot of wasted moves and I have had many many times where I didn't get any +5...Does King only know how to make ridiculous times levels, as we just had one 2 games ago??? Hey, at least we got more time on this one, LOL...

Just now try on PC, they change to 35000 point with 35 seconds! Now both Ipad and PC become impossible level....

I hate timed levels ! I am an elderly woman and can't move fast!! You are discouraging elderly people from staying in the games!! Please stop these timed levels!!They are not fun.

Sick of these timed levels. I think this game has run it's course and the developers have run out of ideas. So, the timed levels are put in place because they are a simple way to slow players down and impede progress while they try and create "real" levels to play.

Passed on about the 15th tr....
Keep trying .... Make as many specials as you can.. Get the board ooed up wide.
Then you get tons of +5 candies .... This will help you beat this awful timed leve..

Start by hitting saucer with 3? hammers. Really opened up the board for me. Cascades like crazy after that, lots of +5's. Finished with 37K

Only tip that I can go is to concentrate more on the top...once u clear the blocks, +5 candies just keep pouring ...

ANOTHER TIMED LEVEL ALREADY! COME ON KING TECHS, THIS IS RIDICULOUS!

So tired of these timed levels lately. Once again you just have to wait for another lucky board.

Any hints on how to pass this level? Have been trying for over 3 weeks and have once managed 20,000. Not even getting near enough to buy any extra time!!!!
Gold Bars appear to have died up on Sugar Drop Challenge also..

Do not really want to drop out from CC but it is looking extremely like it is the only option - cannot keep wasting my time playing the same level weeks on end....

Annonymous said...

Hitting the saucer 3 times with a hammer actually worked. Done!

As far as I can see the only way to pass the level is to open up the board as quickly as possible, watch for +5 candies, and with sprinkles. I've had scores as low as 6,900 and twice as high as 32k. The high scores were when I had at least three sprinkles but, having said that, I eventually passed with 42k with no sprinkles until the last second and time ran out before I could switch it. I was on 20k when the time ran out but by the time the flying saucers had gone off I was up to 30k then the sprinkle blasted me to 42k.

Having got this far in the game with some stinkers of timed levels along the way, I thought this one would be ok eventually. Wrong! have not got even close. Most times it is one or two moves then shuffle after every other move. Can't open the board up enough to get things moving to create any decent combos. Hit the saucer once or twice but only got 3k from that which was no use at all and wasted time while it was doing its thing. Posting for luck as this has worked before, but close to ending my time with this as I like to play for more than just a few mins a day, not on the endless boredom of shuffle, shuffle and game over.

Lost count of how many times I have tried this level and today I thought I had it, my lucky board at last BUT NO - CC cheated me out of it. I had 31K with the saucer ready to go (which in the past has given me 3-4K) and 2 time candies (10 seconds) the same colour with a match ready to be done to make that a wrapped. The timer started ticking down and it wouldn't let me make that last move to get the extra 10 seconds and wrap, nothing else was happening on the board, but it wouldn't let me move. saucer went off at the end of the time and I ended up with 34,840 (160 short) That 10 seconds and wrap would have been enough to get that last 160 points. Feeling robbed!!

After many miserable hours trying to pass and using a bunch of stored boosters, I revised my strategy. I tried to only play the top, tried to open the board up as much as possible at the top, when I saw a potential for an eventual color sprinkle cookie I waited until I could get that. After setting off that sprinkled cookie the game gave me some 5 second bonuses and then another sprinkle cookie. I had over 33,000 before my time ran out. Then the spaceship thing gave me another 26,000 points. Passed with around 60,00 points. Most other games I was lucky to get 15,000. Most of the other games I spent too much time playing too low. Don't waste any of your stash of boosters. They really do not help at all

I read comments and took advice to clear the sides on order for more cascading and to get more +5 ones. It work first time after that. I did get a color bombed but saved until end. These suggestions do help.

I have been playing this level all day and can't even get close to the score needed. Help.

Hate this game - don't know why I keep trying. Been on this level for over a week playing several times a day and haven't even come close. Read all the hints on here and didn't help any. This just might be my final goodbye to Candy Crush!

Everyone hate the time levels! OMG , why do they play it? Go on with your live and play other, not cc, games. You Will feel beter! I did the same! No cc games for me!

Frustrated said...

I agree.

5 days and nothing. I tried the hints of using the top, waiting for lucky board. Tired of waiting!!

I feel like I've been on this level for 20 years. I hate timed levels and the reshuffles on this are a joke. Please give me a break cc.

Anonymous said...

Help —- have read all the pointers, and still can’t get close . Can’t even get one color bomb!

Silverdollarbill said...

Finally Got it after playing about 3 days, NBU, scored over 36,000 points. Been concentrating on working on the sides, was able to do a stripped wrapped switch, which also set off a CB, which cleared a lot of the board up. Later I did a CB stripped switch.

Just another worthless level. First two try today never gave me candies that extends time. Exchange a chocolate ball with candy give you hardly any points. Oh well I have better things to do.

Glory said...

Another horrible timed level. Please CC have pity on us seniors

Zacanic said...

WTF... The current level of 1888 game board looks nothing like the one listed here. Am I the only one seeing this? 1888 is not a timed level, but after about 25 tries, it seems to be an impossible task... HELP!!!

Anonymous said...

@Zacanic.

Yes - I run on the PC and it's completely different. A jelly level where you have only 15 moves to destroy 65 jellies, a third of which are covered in licorice.

Its not even classified as a 'hard' level! But as far as i can see, it is almost impossible.

Thats why there is only two posts from 2019. Everyone quit...lol
