Candy Crush Saga Level 2617 Tips and video

Hints and tips showing how to pass level 2617 Candy Crush Saga without boosters by Cookie
Level 2617 is classified as a hard level so you can expect to lose a few lives before you manage to pass it.
You need to collect the two ingredients to complete the level.
First collect the three keys which are locked in licorice to unlock the blockers holding back the ingredients. Then you have to clear the blockers to allow the ingredients to fall down to the exits.
Since you can't make matches next to the blockers they need to be cleared using stripes and combos.
This is where you will need a bit of luck as the best combo to use is a colourbomb/stripe combo. Before you switch the combo make sure there are some candies of the stripe colour below the blockers or beside them and then you need the stripes to go the right way to hit them. If the stripes go the wrong way, which they did for me most of the time, the combo and all the moves you used to make it will be wasted.
You can also use stripes alone or stripe/wrap combos, but it isn't so easy to get them into position.
A good booster to use is a coconut wheel booster.

wat een vreselijk level niet te doen zonder boosters....

I tried a coconut wheel but it landed where it was no help. Posting for a good luck board!

I guess I am getting lazy. I went to level one and played 5-6 games and got the space dash then I was able to come back and clear the board. Some games you know they are going to torture you and then give you the "lucky" board.

I already used 10 coconutboosters...in vain...

This level made me quit the game. Just checking back to see if King made it even remotely possible, and it's clear they didn't, so I know I made the right choice.
I don't want to guess how much money I used to spend, when I'd get frustrated and buy a booster or a cheat and not they'll never get more money from me. I didn't mind buying boosters or cheats in the past because I at least knew it was POSSIBLE to beat the levels without them and just being lazy or impatient. But this level, there's clearly no way to beat it without them, so I consider it unfair and quit. Best decision I ever made. King got greedy and it cost them. Good riddance.

I've tried to get the Space dash but no luck!

Danielle said...

Not even closed....I did manage to get one cherry down but then ran out of moves. UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am getting tired and bored of levels that are nearly impossible to beat. They are more possible when they come out on iphone 2 weeks later when you can use space dash, but I don't have Windows 10 and therefore don't have access to that booster on PC. I am losing interest when I play time and time again and there is no reward, just frustration. Using the normal boosters do not help, so why bother? It seems that the designers of the levels seem to lose sight of the difference between challenging and frustrating. The result is losing customers. Maybe they just don't care.

Ugh! What an impossibly horrid level. I have tried with and without boosters and nothing gets me remotely close. Guess I'll still be here when this level is released on mobile.

Used coconut wheel booster and passed first try 3 stars.

Posting for luck and what's a space dash?

Count me among the people who quit because of this level - I felt like I accomplished something if I managed to get the keys with more than 10 moves left - getting a single stripe to clear one level under one of the cherries was a reason to celebrate (let alone three levels under both)! They could add 10-15 moves to this and it would STILL be a very hard level.
Also, I'm not one for conspiracy theories but there is simply NO WAY color bomb/stripe combos can result in so many horizontal stripes for candies under the cherries - I don't think I've ever had one color turn into a vertical stripe, and it's a stretch to get one if I have two underneath it.
I'm with King Got Greedy above - King is just blatantly making boards that are impossible to beat without buying boosters, not even giving you a chance. I'll pay for times I get impatient or don't want to bother, but I will NOT pay when I feel I'm not even given a chance. Adios King - it was fun.

Anonymous said...

Heh - Not surprised people are quitting because of this level, because I just did! Same reasons as everyone above - blatant cash grab by King, giving you absolutely no chance to win without spending money. I don't want to guess how many people are quitting out of frustration because of this level and NOT posting. You'd think King would learn the difference between challenging and impossible, but I guess not. Probably for the best - I was spending too much money on it anyway.

Three weeks on this level and the most I ever got was one cherry down and nowhere close to getting the second cherry. I'm done. I didn't have to spend too much money, since I would play Level 1 on my phone and get the flying saucer with all the boosters if there was a level I couldn't beat - but I did spend money. This level isn't even out on mobile yet, so I'm just wasting time on it. I usually get the keys, see I have 10-15 moves left and then just screw around, since I know I have no chance. Well designed level, guys! I hope they know how much it is costing them.

SharonH said...

I am also posting for luck! The more of these levels there are, and they are increasing in number, I want to say goodbye CC. What a waste of time, hours, days to be exact waiting for a lucky board as skill has nothing to do with it any longer...Sorry King, see ya! I will be gone very very soon!

Gil said...

This was the hardest level in this episod for me.
I started with coconut wheel booster on my third try, but this didn't help as I got a second wheel after I completed the level.
By the way, you can count the strips in colourbomb/stripe combo, so, you can choose to swich the combo only when the strips will hit the target.

The end is near! I have space dash and still can't beat it even after purchasing lollipops. Crap crap crap

Just ridiculous, the strips always go to the wrong direction, very boring level

Never had a helmet said...

After struggling with the previous level for over a day and reading the reviews on this one I started with all three boosters past it first try three stars.

Anonymous said...

Need a lucky board! Please!! Bored of this impossible and frustrating level

Unknown said...

It's possible ! I got there with one move to spare. One of the most challenging in the whole game. I used a coconut wheel and kept restarting if it wasn't in a good place. After that you have to think about every single move. You need either sprinkle/stripe or wrap\stripe combos. I used on switch and two hammers to help get those lines up. Another killer is the liquorice that comes down after the ingredients.

No need to give up. We're all up here cos we can find the answers. If it was easy there wouldn't be any point!

PS don't use all your coconuts. You'll need some for the next level which is no walk in the park ...

Anonymous said...

Wow. Stuck also hundress of tries. Once I got a fruit through but not even close to getting the second...like you need a whole game again of moves for the second one..,if you are lucky.

Really hard to beat. Was there with just 1 move left twice! Hoping for luck !

This is a very frustrating and impossible level. I don't play this game only to be aggravated. Please fix this level King.

Unknown said...

Finally got it!
After over 100 tries. It's all about being lucky. Best thing is to combine colourbombs with stripes and hope they hit the blockers enough times. I needed three of those combos...

にゃ said...

Agony...Not fun at all.
By the way, what's the meaning of the key mark at the center top? In this game, all the keys seem to be buried in the lower area of the board.

Anonymous said...

I've gotten stripe/bomb combos and they don't hit the chocolate blockers....the color turns to a useless hit. Been stuck forever...boosters etc no help. Arghhhh dying of boredom...first complaint for me...usually post how I beat the level.

REEEEDICULOUSLY HARD! NO WAY! COME ON!! don't you want us to keep playing and spending our hard earned money with y'all? If the answer is yes then quit making levels like this!

Gemini said...

I totally agree! I am spending a week on each level. Nothing you can do but wait for the lucky board. Not fun at all.

jlrubas said...

I finally got through this level using the coconut wheel booster but at the top. Reset until you can get the booster to start opening up the blockers. Then unlock the keys. The nice thing with the coconut is that you get more. Keep using them on the blockers at the top is possible. One absolutely needs luck but this finally worked for me.

Unknown said...

Bloody stupid!!! Time to give this game up after God knows how many years of playing it!!!

Anonymous said...

Did it on mobile. Mortis hat was available so scrolled right back to first levels to quickly get best one.Then on level kept quoting until I had a board with glitter/stripe combo with correct colours in place underneath blocks..took out all the keys and most of the blocks in 1 move and had all the remaining moves to finish..took about 3 tries...If your not going to do it close app don't exit level and you keep your hat boost.

Een vrouw said...

I quit for the time being. This one really seems impossible. I have had quite a few colourbomb/stripe combinations, but most stripes go the wrong way, and not where I need them to go, as someone else here already noticed. I best I had was one cherry .....
I will probably return once in a while to give it a try again, but I certainly am not going to spend any more money for boosters on it. Good luck to you all!

Please help! Don't have any boosters to help me.

This is without a doubt the most pathetic, shit level that CC have ever developed. It must be the level that has caused more people to quit this game and I am very close to being one of them. I am tired of playing levels about 500 times before getting a lucky board, which is the one and only way to beat these levels

I need that lucky board now!! Probably come up in a few days! ��

Can I have my lucky board now please 😉

CandyMam said...

Go back to level one and play a few levels to get the stripe wrap and colourbomb with the space dash. I kept doing this as I had used up all my stash and refuse to pay. I didn't this till I finally won after about 120 attempts

Impossible to pass until King decides to give you a decent fair board.
This level is obviously designed to make you waste a lot of lives, time and money.
No wonder so many people are quitting!
Shame!

This is really tough level. Need luck.

Anonymous said...

I finally passed after several days. I used all 3 starting boosters, which I'd done many times before, all to no avail. For whatever reason cc decided to give me more than one wheel, about 3 or 4. Usually I just got one useless one at the start. Anyway, I passed through no special effort on my part. Still needed a hammer at the end. Strangely, I was more pissed off than happy when it finally happened for me. Yeah, that's the kind of game I like ...

Not 1 key has ever fallen in the center column. All of the stripes go the wrong way and never in line of the blocks. This has to be one of the worst levels. These levels are predetermined to how may lives you have to waste to clear it. Just silly!!

Just passed this level on the first try. From reading the comments I'm glad I arrived at it with the Magic Dash and got two CB together right off the bat. Still it was a lot of maneuvering and it literally took me until my last move to get the second cherry. Good Luck Peeps!

Anonymous said...

c/candycrush here.
It's hard, I couldn't even get the blockers unblocked.
After numerous tries, I just ticked all 3 boosters & got through.

* The coconut wheel is worth using. You get several of them (if you're lucky).

* I'm convinced the system deliberately sends you temptations to waste your wheel after the first one so beware. For instance, I would want to move my wheel down one more spot so I could hit the blockers on both sides but whenever that happened, there was a marvellous combo available to make just under the wheel-only trouble was, it would have moved the wheel right down the bottom. Don't do it. A wrap down in the middle is fairly useless but a wheel can be gold.

* Once you clear the blockers, licorice rains down. Nasty surprise, wasn't expecting that, but at least the ingredients are down near the bottom by then & lots of moves to get them out.

wendy said...

im about ready to say goodbye to cc because of this level, all i get is horizontal stripes, no wraps or colour bombs to go with them and the horizontal stripes are always below the level of blocks to crush

Anonymous said...

I just told myself yesterday I need a break from this time-sucking game and then King added a new element, gold and silver ribboned candy that turns into stripes, packets, and in one case, the party fiesta whacker. This allowed me to finally pass the last two levels, but this level is still the s@$t. Even with this new "help" not really having much effect, maybe in combo with space dash or Mort's hats, there might be better results. I can't come close to unblocking the dastardly columns of blockers. I keep coming back to the fact that King intentionally made episodes and levels extremely hard because they were/are releasing new levels weekly and they're trying to keep their top (addicted) players, and gave very little thought to the possibly more "average" though highly dedicated players. Now they are working backwards in an attempt to rectify their serious miscalculation with Space Dash, Mort's Hats, partner games, combined candies, etc. Truly, I would have stopped long ago without SD and MH. Since King has removed the ability to reset and my SD and MH often reset themselves after I win a level (wth?!) it has taken a lot of the fun away. King, do you ever use focus groups...do you have a representative sample of players? Come on dudes! A~

Unknown said...

Do something this game is horrible

Tisha Thomas said...

Such a bunch of complainers! This site should be for hints only. And here I am...complaining about the complainers! Sigh... Anyway, this level is passable. I came very close several times without boosters and finally, I just used two hammers on the last blockers and finished with quite a few moves left. These higher order levels are ALL dependent somewhat on lucky boards, but I think if you just hang in there, you could eventually pass this level without boosters. That has to be a priority to you on this one, though.

Laura said...

Ok. Finished 1st try, 3*. What made the difference was not using the stripes made near center of the board. Wait for a move that will move it to a section with an ingredient. I did need to use a hammer near the end to get 2 CB's together. Hope this helps.

Lorraine said...

Tje board is definitely made so it’s not passable easily. I’m sure it’ll happen eventually but it’s clear King made this so you aren’t able to make the right combos to get it done . This should not be as difficult as it is . Clearly it was set up to be this way . So either we move on to a different game or just yawn through tje level until you pass . Eventually you will . Just depends on how much patience you have .
