Candy Crush Saga Level 2197 Cookies tips and video

Hints and tips showing how to pass level 2197 Candy Crush Saga without boosters by Cookie
You have 25 moves to score 400,000 points! This might sound impossible, but if you unlock the four magic mixers they will spawn countdown bombs which will easily give you the score you need.
You can destroy a couple of the magic mixers if you can't avoid it, but the sooner you unlock at least one or two of them the sooner you will start to get the bombs you need.
It is fairly easy to make colourbombs and you should use these to clear the bombs, this will give you the best scores.
Look carefully at the board before every move so you don't miss any chances to make colourbombs.

Funny to see a level where it's hard to NOT destroy the spawners. Color bombs love to happen, but tend to get set off before they're needed. Fun level.

Yep fun level don't waste boosters not needed. Bit of luck and a bit of skill makes this a pretty easy shot.... took me about ten tries.... onward crushers.

Fun Level!

Easy to make color bombs and easy to lose them. And unlike the other evil spawners levels you actually need them to win and of course they are easily destroyed and that's the key. .once you opened them be careful not to destroy them. .took about 10 tries

Definitely don't need boosters on this one. So many chocolate sprinkles, stripes and wraps that it is almost impossible not to destroy the evil spawners which you need to complete this level. Wish they were always this easy to destroy.

Glad to be able to pass this level. I have no boosters to use and the evil spawners release very few time bombs. Lucky for me several color bombs appear and that made me go over the required points.

Van5 said...

Yes silly me destroyed the spawners the first time and didn't get anywhere near the points needed. After reading the blog, I left them and colour bombs appeared and voila! It was done. Fun level for a change. It didn't have me gritting my teeth! Good luck everyone.

I'm not getting near enough bombs. Very hard not to destroy spawners but they don't seem to produce many bombs. Guess I need some luck so posting for it.

I am opening the spauners but still not getting enough points! Posting for luck and any advice you can offer. Thanks.

SharonH said...

Thought I had a lucky board as got rid of the spawners quite quickly, but I only got 1 countdown bomb for the rest of the game...And this has happened many times to me on this level! Can only get to 200,000+ without any bombs. I guess the lucky board isn't getting rid of spawners, it's how many count down bombs you get after, and for me, not there yet, as 1 or 2 seems to be the max...Posting for more count down bombs, I guess!

SharonH said...

Just posted above and went to play my 5 games on iPad. Out of those 5 games, and clearing the spawners with at least 15-20+ moves left in each game, I had a TOTAL of 1 countdown bomb in 5 games! REALLY KING!

I could have waited till the cows came home if I depended on color bombs. I must have tried at least 30 times, trying to get the spawners to release (very few) bombs, only to have them inevitably blow up. So, last time they all blew up I probably had about 12 moves left and I kept concentrating on making sprinkles and using them immediately. I got a lot of cascades including sprinkles dropping and finally passed, one star (492,520), but I'll take it.

Mad Man said...

First try, no boosters.

I think the key to this one is to NOT make specials. You'll have plenty, so fewer makes it easier to make moves in the center that won't kill the spawners.

Gamergal said...

After playing 38 times on this level I finally passed squeaking by with 43900 points, one star. Needed to buy 5 extra moves to get it...I just couldn't get it to come together without totally destroying the spawners. Color bombs are the only thing that got me through and I used them immediately swiping against a color that had the most count on the board. Its a plus if you can swipe color bombs against timed bombs. Passed just by a hair, but I'll take it. Onward I go. BTW, don't use boosters as they aren't needed and blow up before you can put them into play....Good luck players. So happy to move on. Fun but frustrating level!

Passed first time with no boosters. It was easy enough to unlock the top and bottom spawners then the side ones were unlocked in the cascades. I didn't do much and spent a long time waiting for cascades to stop. By the time the last spawner was destroyed with 8 moves to go I had over 400k. Finished with 478k and just one star but I'm happy enough to pass.

Can't get past 324,000. Very difficult to make enough points even with a lot of combos.

Can't get color bombs to make points.

I must be missing something. I played so many times and not received one booster. Help!

Anonymous said...

Don't understand why this isn't labeled a hard level. I am finding it impossible.

Debbie B said...

Wow. How come in the video, the spawners spit out 3 bombs at a time. I'm lucky if they give me 1 every time they're supposed to!! Sometimes, they shake and show they're ready to produce one, then just go back to normal without even spitting out one!! Impossible to win without bombs. Very frustrating to see the way the video plays out. Makes me think Cookie works for King and they set her videos up for success! Anyone else getting so few bombs?

Got this on first try but I did start with a sprinkle and saved it until the countdown bombs were on the board. I had two countdown bombs that were blue so I matched the sprinkle with a blue candy and that gave me half the points I needed. Sprinkles were showing up by themselves and I didn't match them until I could use the same color as a countdown bomb.

The way to get points is to either match a sprinkle directly with a countdown bomb (biggest points) and if that's not possible then match sprinkle with a color that has at least two bombs of that color on the board.

Unknown said...

Debbie B... I got 3 bombs at a time a couple of times and only one a couple of times so I guess it varies.

Anonymous said...

Got the correct number of points but the game shut me out and no where near since. Another BORING level!

Helen said...

I seem to destroy the spawners early without trying!! Difficult not to, shame I can't do it when I want too lol, quite fun to play though

Anonymous said...

Agree with Helen.

Not finding this fun at all.

I'm not finding this level to be easy at all. Posting for luck.

This level is half fun and half annoying. Fun to play until you get the ingredients down and annoying when you have to break the remaining jellies with combos. Decided I was sick of it and being one move short of completing it I used a handswitch to move on.

Anonymous said...

I must be missing something here. My spawners are useless. I may get one bomb in a whole game! And the pieces just seem to do wharever they want and boom, the spawners are gone. Looking for a lucky board or something...

Linda Maitan said...

Having same problem. Get the dorawners or let them stay not getting enough points

liloldlady said...

Can't wait to try this fun one

liloldlady said...

Actually, after trying dozens of times, fun has turned into frustration...can't even come close

There is a glitch. If you want to buy extra lives it gives you them and knocks your bars off then says you've lost do you want to buy extra and so on. So you waste your gold bars

Anonymous said...

OK this glitch only occurs on desktop game. Have raised a dispute to get my credits back

Candy crusher said...

Unable to get even half of score after two weeks off play. Suggestions???

Candy crusher said...

Problem with game. Not getting all of the credit for the explosions on the wraps. Can not pas this level. Time to quit???

Cmp said...

Posting for luck as that seems to help. Can't wait to be done with this level. Been stuck awhile now :(

JC said...

400k is tough to achieve but I am liking this level

Margaret said...

Could anyone tell me the secret to winning level 2197. Seems I've been on it forever. I came close once and used my bars to try to win. I didn't get it. There has got to be something about it that I haven't learned yet. Thank you.

Anonymous said...

Zero control of getting bombs for points, all the uncontrollable blasts get rid of the sprawns and still can't even get even 300,000 points

Jo said...

This level is easy IF you follow the hints above. In summary:
1. Sprinkle balls will create themselves
2. Clear the blockers on the evil spawners but then don't target them - they create the countdown colour bombs
3. Use the sprinkle balls on the same colour as the colour bombs to clear them - that's where you get LOTS of points
4. If you are just making a move, do it at the top of the board with a simple swap if possible so you don't start a huge cascade and blow up
5. Once three or four sprinkle balls have taken out colour bombs, your points will be there.

As several people have commented, many of us are not seeing more than a few color bombs appear throughout the game. I've played for 3 days on Android and another day on PC, managing to open but not destroy all 4 spawners repeatedly, but still only got a couple of bombs to drop from the spawners throughout the game. Now I've given up on that method and instead am destroying the spawners and creating a lot of wrap/stripe, wrap/sprinkle, and stripe/sprinkle combos. I've managed to get 395,000 with that tactic since the bombs are clearing luck based. So for those who say "this level is easy IF ..." you are getting lucky with the bombs.

Unknown said...

Uuurrrggghhhh. Who knew destroying spawners could be so easy. Next time I need to destroy them in a level I’ll just aim to keep them. Lucky board needed here I guess

Michelle said...

I hate this level..3 days now..come on I need a lucky board 😠

Denise said...

Need a lucky board bad!!

Anonymous said...

Posting for luck as the best score I’ve had is about 350,000 but usually can’t get over about 200,000. Must be missing something!

Sharon said...

Based on the comments it appears that you get the biggest points with the bombs

Annomous said...

You say to detonate the bombs to get the score of 400000, just not getting many of them so how are You SUPPOSED to get through this game without them. Tried every thing but only managed 350.000 at the most. HELP CANDY CRUSH I NEED A BIT OF LUCK WITH THIS GAME.

Bob C said...

After about 3 weeks attained a score of 400,000 for this level. Instead of going to level 2198, it goes to same level, 2197, but required score is now 500,000. It was a difficult level to begin with, but now impossible, and not enjoyable at all. Guess its time to get a life and quit this tedious game.

Anonymous said...

Hate this level - not getting anywhere near - been stuck for 2 weeks!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anonymous said...

This level is not fun at all why you make this levels. I don't no not for gaming.

Spike said...

I am finding this level extremely hard, just can't get enough points and have followed all tips. Guess I will plug along until I am out of lives . .

Alessandra said...

This is BS
I open spawners immediately, ensure I don’t destroy them but they produce such a measly number of bombs

What am I supposed to do - magic them up myself???

What a load of old tosh
👎

Anonymous said...

Am getting nowhere near 400,000 even with colour bomb/stripe combinations.

Unknown said...

Tired of this now.

Anonymous said...

Agree I get few bomb many 1 every 4 tries dumb again time to stop to fixed for me

Carole said...

400000 really???? I guess us based on luck

Anonymous said...

I can’t even get close to 400,000. Frustrating!,

Anonymous said...

Looking for a lucky board! I had 350000 once but have not come close since

Anonymous said...

I get maybe 3-4 bombs a game. Wtf? Not getting anywhere near 400,000 points.

snow said...

Done 3rd try no boosters was a fun level. Unlock the spawners as soon as possible, but you do not need them all. when you get a color bomb let it sit till you get more bombs and candy the same color about 15 total or so then do it again

Kazza said...

The spawners are practically irrelevant now, they drop so few bombs. Concentrate on colour bombs and explode them immediately with the hope of making another. Got through it in 10 attempts with 1 star.

gp8656 said...

Posting for luck . This level was fun for awhile but now just frustrating. Need help!

gp8656 said...

Posted for luck yesterday. Still no lucky board . Come on cc, need help soon!!!

Unknown said...

Same her-I see time and time again, I have the same problem where I am not getting enough bombs-need help!

Unknown said...

Others suggest color bombs with plain candy only and it works great. Many more points than bombs with special candies

Annie said...

Even with all mixers intact I don’t get enough bombs. I’m guessing the frequency of the bombs dropping has been slowed to make this one harder

Cmitch said...

I hate bombs and here I am wishing I could get more. Lol

Cmitch said...

Wasting lives and boosters. Not worth it.

Spent2Much said...

The video shows multiple bombs appearing at once - I don't have that. One at a time and not on every move. This one may be the last straw for me, I never got more than 325k.
