Candy Crush Saga Level 1961

Hints and tips showing how to pass level 1961 Candy Crush Saga without boosters played by Cookie
You have 20 moves to clear all the jelly and there is a UFO in the middle of the board to help you.
The two halves of the board are only connected through the middle once the blockers are cleared, this lets the candies fall down the middle into the bottom. Until then you are playing two separate boards.
You'll need special candies and combos to clear the middle of the board, but once the UFO is detonated it will help clear jelly and also any blockers that are left in the middle.
The hardest jelly to clear are the ones each side under the gap between the two halves, so go for them whenever you can.
Remember to check both halves of the board for moves as it's easy to concentrate on the jelly and forget about the rest of the board.
You need a bit of luck with the mystery candies, if they turn into colour bombs and other specials they can be really helpful, but mine often turn into bombs and chocolate so not so good.

Wow no comments yet.....I am having a hard time here. I can't touch the middle. I've used jelly boosters and can't touch the middle. Any clues would be appreciated.

Never mind. Got it no boosters next try. Good luck all.

Only 20 moves on Android - not easy.

20 moves also on iPhone. Not easy at all... Wtf!!!

jackluver said...

kind of amusing, I guess. a level like this would be considered mediocre earlier in the game ( before the 1100's and 1200's) but now a level like this is the most fun you're going to have. PATHETIC!!!

In 20 moves...impossible

Ann said...

Here we go again! The games should be the same whatever you play on. It is very frustrating and i don't know if it's me but it isn't as much fun as it used to be, it's just aggravating!

I am just about tired of these latest levels. They are the same as the ones at the beginning of the game, just with less moves. I guess King has run out of new ideas. Back to Farm Heroes I go.

My eggs are pretty much all terrible. I keep getting 5 hit icing squares in my way.

36 moves on PC and 20 on android. Well fuck you cunts I'm not taking my PC with me on my commute.

Now only 20 moves on PC as well. No idea how it's possible to do this level.

Once again , only 20 moves on IPAD. These last levels have been exceptionally tedious - no longer any fun - how do you get 20 moves on one and 36 on another device. King not listening - just taking your money, No more - done with this.

20 moves!! Another ridiculous level... Zzzz

Need to update the help because there is only 20 moves on standard desktop and phone. Extremely difficult. Only chance is colored ball with either wrapped candy or striped. Fish can help too but only so much with just 20 moves.

36 moves?? I don't think so !! 20 moves only, how are we supposed to clear to separate halves with that few moves!

Anonymous said...

Not possible to clear in 20 moves on my Android unless you get a really lucky board. Once again, King, thanks for showing us how much you sucks. Your developers are truly a disgrace to the gaming community.

Insane, I am so sick of these levels where you have to play hundreds of times before they give you a lucky board to pass.

When I read the comments, and saw it was 20 moves, I was ready to quit. First try was a disaster. Used a fish on my next try. Somehow (spelled "LUCK") got a color bomb and stripe together. 3 moves later a color bomb and wrap that cleared most, and launched the UFO. Last move I had a fish that got the last two jellies. It can be done, but takes one hell of a lucky board.

Passed on second try, the only way I could pass was to forget about the choc and liquorice and just make as many combos as you can to get to the bottom, to clear the blocks..good luck to you all..

seemed impossible the first 5 times on FB, but I went to Android, and despite only having 20 moves, I was able to back out time and again until I had a fish in a good position to get set free right away as well as create a cascade of movement. That set me up well, and by using a hammer, I was able to hit a stripe that set loose the UFO. With one more fish that came my way, I got it in 19 moves. Whew. I was prepared to really hate this level.

Anonymous said...

It took many tries. Once I got down to two jellies under where the UFO had been but I couldn't get them. I eventually won after a sprinkle'stripe combo cleared out all but a few jellies.

20 moves on iPad, 36 on video. Big difference and unfair.

KEVIN said...

Lol...Mystery candies make it harder...

Bresych said...

For a minute thought I was going to do this in 3 moves but it took me 8. King gave me a free colour bomb to start and I used stripe/wrap booster and reset until stripe and colour bomb were next to each other. This created another colour bomb which landed right alongside another stripe. First attempt but very lucky.

Same old same o....moving stuff around with no results....so tire of this 20 moves. Your kidding right....please fix this level. So tired of these levels that are no fun at all.

Here we go again. Only 20 moves on PC. Your bloody videos are useless Ms Cookie Kirby.

Been stuck at this level for a while now, too many of the surprise candies are blockers

Anonymous said...

I don't understand how the game only gives you 20 moves on the iPad and 35 moves on the computer.just doesn't seem right. How many times do I have to lose men before I'm finally going to pass this board. So very frustrating!

Unknown said...

Nothing is more tedious when coming here for tips then reading over and over how there are only 20 moves and 35 in the video. After all this time I'd think it would be obvious that new levels are released on PC first (Ms Cookie only plays on PC so she can upload to Youtube) and after a week or two the moves are adjusted just in time for the mobile release. And then sometimes there will be another adjustment in an update.

onlylisa said...

There are very few tips you can pass on to anyone who has played 1961 levels. It becomes kind of obvious what you need to do + wait for the right board.

Patti said...

I'd like to know how you get 36 moves. I've played on an ipad, iphone and a pc and all three only had 20 moves!

Anonymous said...

This level is so hard. Have been working on it for many days and have only gotten to the flying saucer once and then had to buy a bunch of boosters and still could all as I ran out of hammers. Please feel sorry for me and give me a lucky board!!

Anonymous said...

Ok! The flying saucer got blown awa! Wtf!? This level is a rip off! I'm sick of it. Bullshit. As usual!

Anonymous said...

Well bite my ass...another boring, ripping off of boosters level....

New England said...

20 moves-used a chocolate sprinkle and a fish to win, plus one hammer-these last few have not been fun!

Anonymous said...

20 moves on PC as well. What is the point of providing a video with 36 moves if most devices have only 20? No doubt this is easy to get in a try or to with 36 moves, but with only 20 it's next to impossible so the video is useless.

Anonymous said...

I need that lucky board to pass this one. Impossible! Very hard level.

Denise said...

Here we go again, a very hard level!!!

Anonymous said...

Ooooh tricky! I’m here commenting for luck. When I pass, I’ll comment again to let you know any secrets I have found. At the moment, just wishing for some luck. Good luck from Oz 😃

Carole said...

20 moves and a hard level. So I guess I have to wait for a lucky board

Anonymous said...

Agree tricky level sucking us us in after a few hard ones cc if I pass will let you know maybe have to wait to to up my boosters good luck

Carole said...

No boosters left... soooo frustrating..

Silverdollarbill said...

Got it first try starting with the first UFO, CB from free hour, and stripped wrapped & fish boosters, 6 moves left. First move I switched a CB with a fish. Later did a CB stripped switch. My last move activated a fish to get my last jelly.

Anonymous said...

If King doesn't nerf this level, I am going to get in there and force King to nerf it!!

Anonymous said...

Hi Oh Silver,

I am on this fun level in June. I am so happy for you that it was an easy level for you. Hoping to be lucky like you, SOON!!!

Alessandra said...

So we need to clear 63 jellies in 20 moves huh ???!!!!
King has finally lost the plot !

And this is after that ludicrous level we just had, that needed 10 popcorns cleared in few moves.

Come on what is going on with this game ?
I like a challenge,..., but not one of your exercises in futility!!

Spike said...

Been playing for hrs. since I won 6 hrs. free with some boosters. Can't get close and needless to say am getting upset !!! Not fun or any strategy needed . . just luck !

chrisskreager said...

Not. Enough Moves.

As a jelly level of itself, it’s far from the worst (no Chocolate, spawners), but 20 moves is way too little

susieq said...

Only 20 moves. Impossible!

Lorraine said...

Bored to death !!! Tired of this crap. Levels are getting worse and worse . Fun is a memory now.

Unknown said...

Very hard board. No boosters left. Need lucky board.

Robin said...

Started this one yesterday, still no luck, played thru a few times a today, waiting for it to reload and try again, is there anyone having trouble passing this board to? Lots of these posts are old ones but still same problem 20 moves, would love to hear some people's post having trouble now? And if you passed and used boosters what worked good for you? Good luck all

Robin said...

I think the more levels we pass it's so much harder to play and pass, I did finally pass this level with a xtra UFO and 2 hammers
Thought I wasn't going to pass last move and got thru, I use a iPhone for every level so far,
That's all I can use for this game, really would like to hear from other people who r having trouble and how they passed

Unknown said...

horrible level!! Tried several days on 3 different devices. I have tried and wasted all my boosters including the black Friday package I purchased. I have no idea how you can get through this with only 20 moves. Nearly impossible!!

Unknown said...

I so agree!!!!!!!

Cmitch said...

Terrible! Wasting boosters. Not fun

Nancy said...

IMPOSSIBLE
