Tips for level 421 Candy Crush

Fibro Froggy

Froggys Tips Your goal is to mix 7 sets of striped candies and there are 4 striped candies on the board already, but they are in the far corners and you need to make room to make matches. Now remember once you set off the cannons, it clears ALL the pieces on the board, but you really have to at least remove 2 of them to make enough matches to work with.

I finally passed this one. My only tip other than "try to be lucky" (ha ha) is to not ignore the candy bomb possibilities in favor of striped. I used 3 candy bombs to wipe out entire colors, making it much easier to make striped candies all over the place instead of trying to make them with a bad board.

You know what's fun? Going back and playing some of your favorite levels (or ones you've forgotten) all over again. Pick a challenging one, or an easy one, and just enjoy the game for what you originally wanted it to be.

You know what's not fun? Swatting away almost randomly at what few moves you're offered in the vain hope that you'll get close enough to pay King for a booster to go forward into more and more frustration.

You don't have to give up the game because of this stupid level. You just have to give up the idea of advancing. You made it to level 421! I bet not many of your friends can say that. Take pride in that accomplishment and go back into the game to remind yourself how much fun it can be. Because yeah, it really isn't anymore at this level.

I am admitting defeat after weeks of trying this level. I have never been able to get closer than 3 striped left to get.It totally sucks. I agree with all the comments above that state this is just a totally stupid level that once again relies on a whole lotta luck. Delete button gonna happen.

Anonymous said...

This level is complete luck. Was stuck on it for weeks. Today it started giving me a bunch of moves and I noticed right away that it wasn't just my skills. I thought to myself "wow, it's really going to let me pass it".. I know y'all know what I mean. When it feels like they're just giving you all the right colors on purpose. Passed on mobile.

Anonymous said...

I can't get through it either, been stuck too long and sick of it. I think this one finally ruins the game I've been playing for all this time. Apparently some people had some luck but most of us just play and play this level forever till we hate it.

Unknown said...

This level is ridiculous.. I'm all for being challenged, but seriously? Played hundreds of boards..too many bugs to deal with on this

Ready to give up on this once enjoyable game

Anonymous said...

After level 350 (stuck for 10 days but you could beat it by playing a strategy) this level is no fun to play.
Have deleted every other KING game from my computer and forbid my 4 children to play any KING game as well.
This level sucks as a whole, striped candy's explode with no reason, no strategy helps...it's just being Lucky, most of the time quit with over 30 moves left...fuck it CC (KING)

Anonymous said...

CC need to take notice of the comments here. You are losing players fast as this level is unbeatable unless you get a lucky board. This is no longer a game but a slot machine. No wonder everyone is leaving!!!! I am another who is finishing as I am totally sick & tired of playing game after game and have any moves blown up or no moves at all. Yesterday I had one game in which it was impossible to make even ONE combo at all. Just ridiculous!!!!

Anonymous said...

Wow this is tough!! Guess the people at CC really want us to quit on this one. Guess it's time for me to quit. Just remember CC, less visitors equals less advertising money for you.

Anonymous said...

I played this level for what seems like a million times and finally passed it today !!!!!
I did try and break the stripe in the corners to make a match . I found that you get more chances for stripes if you don't break all the pies. It seems once u break all the pies they're are almost no chance of getting the combos . So I concentrated on getting stripes instead of breaking the pies . Maybe just luck but it worked for me !!!! Good luck

Anonymous said...

Just beat it, and only because of a glitch! after the countdown of moves got down to 1 it skipped to -1, then -2! it basically gave me unlimited moves until I won. If it wasnt for that Id still be stuck with 3 striped combos to go.

Anonymous said...

I've read suggestions to immediately clear a cake so the cannon will bring down a corner striped to land on a bottom corner striped. When I do this, the striped candies also get blown off the boars. This happens with them being untouched... Still behind the wax paper , or whatever you call it that shows no matches have been made to their adjacent candies. Why is it doing that?

Anonymous said...

This IS the worst of the worst I've seen. It is not fun anymore at all. I cannot get through this level and most of the time not even close. I'm sick of playing it over and over again, just mindlessly at this point because the result is always the same and I quit as soon as it's clear yet again there's no possible way to win. I guess maybe this is the one to finally make us quit and be cured of our Candy Crush addictions. Maybe that's a good thing, but it sure is frustrating to have come this far and get a level like this one. The odds of getting lucky on this one must be as good as winning the million dollar lottery.

Matt O said...

Well, I just passed it, and to give you an idea of how it's really just a matter of luck, I passed it with EIGHTEEN moves left! The best break I got was clearing one of the cakes early AND in the resulting explosion, one of the upper-corner striped ccandies bounced and ended up on the bottom row. That allowed me to get TWO matches off the four corner stripes, which I didn't think was possible. After that, clearing the other cakes as quickly as possible left me a larger field to work with, and ridiculous luck took over from there.

This was, by far, the longest I'd ever spent on a level, and I'd gotten to the point where I was only playing it once or twice a day because it wasn't fun. Still, it can be done.

Nuri148 said...

Definitely, reading this blog is lucky! After getting really frustrated for days, came here for tips and passed in 3 lives! Of course I got lucky with a good starting board too...

I finally beat this level on Friday the 13th. I was stuck on it for over 2 months and had cut back on playing because I was so frustrated. I did get it on my iphone, so it's doable, but very frustrating. Now I'm stuck on 425. I hate those tornadoes!

Anonymous said...

Having completed some levels which tested my sanity and the stupidity of the brains that wrote those levels number 421 takes the cake. Make a striped and plan for the next one, that stupid heli thing keeps taking the first. Time after time my score is nil out of seven. Will try and beat it but if this trend of gambling levels continue I will say my farewell to CC.

Troy D said...

After playing this level for what seamed like forever I finally passed it. Like most I believe the computer finally felt sorry for me. It is all about luck. I got a combo stripe stripe after only two moves and got a second a few moves after that. Had three of the hammer sections gone in the first ten moves. With that new wheel spinner I accumulate some of the lolly pop hammers and was able to use them three times to line up two of the stripe stripe combos and passed. And I did not have to pay anything. Off to level 422 and I have only had to pay .99 to get to this point.

I was loving this episode until this level ,my friend just passed this level after 4 days so this gives me hope ,I'm on day 3 and I've tried every trick in the book ,but failing miserably ,anyone got genuine tips ?

Thank goodness I unlocked "Dreamworld" today. It is welcome relief from level 421 which I really thought was going to make me quit Candy Crush. I could hardly stand to even try to play a couple times a day anymore and just threw lives away because I'm just too sick of playing that level. There is no fun in that one anymore. Enjoying Dreamworld for now... welcome relief, just in time.

Anonymous said...

I have never posted on this blog, but level 421 is utterly ridiculous and mind blowing. I think when you reach 421, you pretty much know how to play...but wow. This level is so bad...that stupid hurricane thing, SEVEN stripped combos with cake wheels. CC needs to start firing people who made this episode. It's the end for me.

Anonymous said...

You know what I'd like to do? the people who make these levels. I'd like to place them infront of a screen and give them a level that is not possible to do (at all) and drive them around the bend.
been at 421 5 days and not even close.

This level is ridiculous. I am sorry to say that the end of my playing this game has come. I have struggled with many levels, but enjoyed them. This level has taken the fun out of Candy Crush!

I call it straight out CHEATING by the house. Make a pair of stripes and the house takes one. This level is totally designed in favor of CC, anticipating exactly how to spoil the player with the twirlers. Also why do stripes blow up for no reason? I like a challenge but there should be a level playing ground. In level 421 the chips are programmed in favor of the house and a player will always lose. Played on PC, iPad, iPhone and iPod and get the same results meaning I lose. Reached level 421 which is most likely the end of the CC line for me.

Unknown said...

Too many bugs in this level...who ever designed this level got too smart for their britches...done!

This is the level that will have me seeking other forms of entertainment. It's no longer a game when it becomes frustrating and boring at the same time. I can't even get through my 5 lives before I get bored and/or frustrated and leave. Goodbye Candy Crush - you got 6 months of my life, but no more.

What do I have to sacrifice to the candy crush gods to pass this level?

Anonymous said...

Horrible level, seems impossible. I've been playing for 2 weeks and can't pass. I think it might be time to quit the game.

Anonymous said...

Sorry but this level is IMPOSSBILE without boosters...yes clear the pies but try to make combos before you break them all; I bailed out if I didn't have 3/4 combos done with let's say 17 or so moves left. Thank goodness for the free booster wheel; I had 3 swap candy "hands" and that is what clinched it for me. Was stuck for a week or so. Got so boring but there are many levels like this so you just have to hang in there and make the best of the "lucky" rounds. I passed this one on my laptop vs. my iphone.

So disappointed love candycrush but this level makes no sense. I've been on two weeks. How do I get through it

Anonymous said...

First time of ever leaving a comment. I've truly enjoyed the game until this level. I can honestly say I don't even enjoy it after getting on this level. I've never bought a booster and have no intention of doing so. I have made many combos to get stripes, yet it doesn't leave me one. There is no skill to this level. The tornados have ruined it for me. Hope everyone has luck who chooses to continue, but for me I think it's the end of the line. I'm happy with myself that I made it this far. Good Luck everyone.

Worst level!! Haven't been able to get more than 3 matches. trying a few more times and then bye bye CC! :(

dirty vegas said...

Over 2 weeks on this level and for the life of me can't get close to clearing ,ive read every helpful comment and tried everything fellow candy crushers recommend , don't know what I'm doing wrong , I end up quitting because its impossible to make the required stripes ,the closest I've came is needing 3 .. its sad to get to this level and come across this ..please help ?

dirty vegas said...

It seems I'm not alone when it comes to this level being the worse level so far , over 2 weeks trying and getting no where , I keep popping in here hoping someone has the magic clue on how to beat this level but there is no magic clue ,when am I going to get a lucky board ?

Shar said...

Can't believe just passed this level after 1000's of try with 2 moves left yeah

Anonymous said...

First time commenting on any level, but in my opinion this level is way too boring with little hope of winning unless boosters are paid for. I'm not wasting much more of my time on Candy Crush because it's just not fun with levels like this. In four days of playing, the closest I've come is 6 stripe matches, and most times not even close to that.

Anonymous said...

This level has bugs. Several times combined four and did not make a stripe. Also there has been times that a stripe exploded when there were none of that color near it. I cannot see passing this level ever. It is very difficult to make stripes. It seem that I keep getting wrapped dropping down and speckled bombs. Stripes should be easier to make than this. Very fustrated.

Anonymous said...

I have been playing this level for some time as well...have also had the problem of making the 4 combo & not getting my stripe...have gotten down to needing just 2 combos several times & that damn tornado destroys any chance...i have also had many boards where i have not made a single stripe combo...i'm about to the point of hanging this game up...also think that "after playing a few games" we should get a decent board to clear & move up...we've made it this far-that has to count for something...give us something candy people for our perserverance!

It can be done! Appx 300 tries...

This is the worst designed level I have played yet. It is entirely based on luck, there is no strategy, which makes it incredibly frustrating. People who design these levels should be forced to play them over and over again until they repent.

Anonymous said...

Level 421 is not about skill, but rather about how much the creators want to screw with you... it is boring as hell to play for months knowing you have skills because you have reached this level. I find this extremely disrespectful of players and I for one am done with CC! CIAO

Anonymous said...

Madness. I was completely fed up and been stuck on this for ages, commented on here about how it's just luck that they fall right, and read someone's comment about suddenly you think omg it's going to let me do it.
So I sit here having another go.....
They fell right, the tornado didn't wreck any set ups, and I had 21 moves left I only needed one more swap. And the next move gave me two choices
I'm through, so persevere guys, it will let you win eventually!

Anonymous said...

So, I'm through, it was largely luck, but I still feel best technique is lose the pies ASAP so you have full board to play with. Ignore the corner stripes they always disappear with the pies anyway unless there's is a lucky tumble.
Swap stripes as soon as available before they move.
If you're presented with an option to make 5 do it, then clear a colour and increase your chances of getting a 4 out of what's left.

Anonymous said...

So waste of time & effort after reaching this level. If candy crush developers was to annihilate people than they have done so with this stupid & useless level. Achieving the required goal is not achieves me at all. On average you can only get 3 or 4 combos. Sometimes it even takes me 30 moves to get 1 combo... Provably I can achieve this level if theatrics like 100 moves. Over this stupid game!!

Anonymous said...

Finally passed with 1 move left. definitely this level is on my top 5 list of most difficult levels. hated this and was getting bored. just passed soda swamp episode and 425 was awful but not as bad as 421.

LindaR said...

Over this now! The whirring is giving me a headache, and I am bored! Bored! Bored! As a player who is willing to spend on the odd booster, I have just lost interest! Giving it five more lives in the morning and then deleting!

Anonymous said...

Developers... Please PLEASE do something to fix this level. Make it possible to do. Candy Crush used to be a fun way to relax, now I can't stand it anymore because of this miserable level. Dream World was welcome relief, but I played all of those and went back again and again to get 3 stars on each... except for the one there that seems impossible to get more than 2 stars... just to avoid going back to 421. I want to move forward past this horrible time-wasting level, like so many others here.... it clearly needs to be fixed somehow... we've tried till we can't stand it anymore! It's just miserable to keep playing it like this.

Anonymous said...

Finally finished level 421. I can't believe I did it. Didn't use any boosters and still had 3 or 4 moves left. It took me 149 tries and 2 weeks of being stuck. I really was ready to give up. In fact, I played Dreamworld until I reached level 65 and couldn't go any further. Maybe it took a break from Candy Crush to finally get it. Good Luck to all. It can be done!!!!

Nicole said...

I have been on this level for months!!!! I have gone so far as to buy extra moves but when I get to the option to buy extra moves and a color bomb, I get a message saying that I have already purchased this but it has not been downloaded. I am playing on an iPad. I have never had this error message before. Can anyone help? I am desperate enough to pay for all the extra moves I need to get past this horrible level but can't with the crazy message I keep getting!

Anonymous said...

Stopped playing for weeks due to this ridiculous level and played another companies game instead. Takes fun out of the game when it becomes largely in unachievable. Have sen numerous bugs in the game as well as getting bugs when spinning wheel for daily prize only to have it not appear after winning it. Will try for a little longer but on the cusp of quitting given the point is for fun.....and this is not enjoyable anymore.

Anonymous said...

I barely ever complain over games, especially my beloved candy crush but seriously, what on earth is wrong with this level? Level 421 is not just challenging, it is ridiculously nearly impossible. It requires LUCK and all the skill in the world without luck just isn't going to cut it in this level. I am so disappointed with the creators of this level and more so with those who let this level go without fixing it. Putting ALL my hardest levels together doesn't equal the frustration with this messy level. Trying hard to hang on and not delete the game...

Anonymous said...

This level IS a cruel joke to all of us who have stuck with the game this far. Please fix this level!!! This one is well BEYOND ridiculous, it is the absolute worst and ruins the game.

This level is absurd. I simply don't see how to complete it. Striped candies exploding by themselves, wrapped candies appearing from nowhere, the striped candies still in jelly disappearing when the hammer descends, the %#!$ing tornadoes. I have gotten down to one to go once. Sometimes I can't get any matches. I must have played 500 times. They need to fix the bugs!

Too many bugs in this level. Candies blowing up by themselves, match 4 and get a wrapped instead of a stripe, etc. needs work, oh we'll CC days are probably done, sad

This level, more so than most, has ruined this game for me. I don't mind really tough boards if you can at least get close occasionally,and have fun playing, but this one is not any fun at all. Way to ruin a great game!!!!

Anonymous said...

I agree fellow crushers. This level still has too many bugs. I thought it was just me "missing" something, distracted. But so many times I would match 4 candies but it wouldn't give me a stripe candy! Now I know I'm not crazy. Along with other glitches and random horribleness I'm not playing anymore until they update the game for iPad. This is bad bad design.

Unknown said...

For those of you who have seen my posts throughout all the levels of CC this is for you. I'm the first one to tell the complainers to go somewhere else with their personal problems but this level is enough to make you scream!! I'm so frustrated and feel I'll never complete it. Congratulations to the ones who have.

Been stuck on this level for about 3 months now, i too am fed up with it. Cant be bothered but don't want it to beat me. Probably will give up soon, its just no fun anymore.

A shameless ploy to suck more money out of punters by making levels that are almost impossible to complete without buying lots of extras. This level isn't even devious, it's just bloody boring.

Anonymous said...

I've got to say that anyone who has made it this far, as we have, loves Candy Crush. That being said, I have finally found a level that makes me want to quit playing. This level is horrible, I have played at least 100 games and have not gotten any closer than needing 3 more switches. This was a good way to ruin it for all of us. I REFUSE to pay to play this.

Anonymous said...

About 100 attempts. Finally a combination of 3 extra moves (courtesy of a friend), 2 smash candies, 2 switches (courtesy of CC) and a lot of luck I finally managed it with 10 spare moves. Good luck all.

Anonymous said...

This is just insane. Many bugs (randomly exploding striped candies, mysteriously appearing wrapped candies, striped candies encased in jelly disappearing when the hammer strikes). These glitches make what would be a very difficult level nearly impossible. If I could get down to one combo left to go I would buy my way out, but can't get that close.

Anonymous said...

Couldn't they add a "SKIP LEVEL" button that appears on several tries ??!!??
I don't wanna quit CC but I'm close to and that pisses me off !!!

Managed smtimes to clear pies with 42/43 moves left, mostly 36.

Closest try was 6 to 7.

Strategy : clear pies as quick as i can, multicolor to reduce colors on board when possible, get rid of tornado by sacrifying stripped. NOT FOCUS more than 5 moves on a stripped if there's obviously no solution around it to get crossed with another one...

Anonymous said...

BELIEVE IT OR NOT BUT RIGHT AFTER POSTING THE MESSAGE ABOVE I RETRIED THAT DAMNED LEVEL AND PASS !!!!!

DEFINITELY IT'S ALL ABOUT LUCK, FUCK I'M SO HAPPY NOW, TILL NEXT AWFULL LVL THAT WILL PULL MY NERVES.....

HANG ON AND GOOD LUCK EVERYONE !!!

GREETINGS FROM WEST FRANCE

(I had the luck to manage to be at 5/7 before 35 moves, and this time the tornado was helpfull by destroying the candy between my two last stripped when I had only 5 moves left, I was amazed by the amoiunt of luck I had, just like the game knew I was about to kill myself after a visit to Sweden at King's office !!!)

Hey it's me again, from west France...

Another tip :
Try the game on PC if you're used to play it like me on your phone (iPhone 3GS), I'm convinced the game is easier through a web browser than the App...

Got up to this ridiculously absurd level and an ready to quit after 100s of attempts. Tried all tips. Got down to one switch needed several times. If the hammer doesn't wipe out of my stripes that I'm trying to match up, the tornado does the job. This level seems to set you up for failure. Skill has nothing to do with it, which is extremely disappointing. Made it up to this level, but I feel I'm being made a joke of.

FINALLY passed this level with zero moves left. Pure luck as usually once I got a few stripes on the board they would wind up all blowing up before I could get them close, or when I was about to put a couple together the stupid twister would mess it up. Had to give in and buy the lollipop to break two candies so I could get the last two stripes together. Held my breath as expected something to blow them, and the twister landed in the candy right next to them. Had 6/7 with 3 moves left and saw I could do it so went for it as had been stuck on this level for days with 4/7 being my best. Had not been playing much the last few days as figured this was the end of CC for me. Just played it once today cuz I was feeling under the weather. Not sure if happy I passed level or not as probably still in for more frustration and annoyance than fun in future games.

Having the same problems. Candies seem to blow up randomly. I'll have a striped and it all of a sudden blows up. And the tornado does always seem to get my next move when I am putting two stripes together. Not liking this level at all.

Endless amounts of attempts, impossible. Not challenging, just IMPOSSIBLE. This game is no longer fun, good thing there is Farm Heroes, Pepper Panic and many other games to entertain and fill spare time with. Seriously, give us a break, 7 striped/striped??? SMH.

My stripes are blowing up for no reason. Is this a known bug? If so, why don't they fix it?

Like everyone else on here I am obviously an avid candy crusher to have got this far, but also like everyone else all the fun has now gone out of it. This level is purely luck, with lots of bugs as already mentioned 7 striped on stripes is just too many for the amount of moves combined with pies and tornados, 5 would be more like it. It would be nice to think the makers read these comments and amend this level but looking back to how long people have been posting on this its sadly not going to happen. So another one jumps ship to more enjoyable games :(

I have been playing this game for about 10 months. First time I'm posting here. Have come to this site for tips on other levels..... Played after reading tips & moved on. This level 421 is ridiculous! No moves.... Tornados.... Stripes blowing up for no reason whatsoever.... 4 in a row do not create stripe... As someone else stated... They come to this game to relax and escape a stressful life. I've gone thru illness and death of a beloved family member & now a divorce.... Hate getting jacked up emotionally here when I come here to take my mind off of " other" things. I will give this level a few more try's.... If I can't move on I am ready to delete.

This level is terrible and sucks all the fun out of the game. Difficult levels are okay and I don't mind being challenged but this is ridiculous.

I need a break from the frustration of this level!

I agree with the majority of crushers on this blog about being frustrated to the point of quitting this game because of this level...and I think we can all agree that by getting this far in the game we are not quitters. I'm disappointed that they have taken the skill out of the game on this level and forced the player to rely solely on luck. Any skill used to set up the required striped candies together is wiped out by the tornado that destroyed things at random. If I want to play a game that takes no skill, I'll go play the slot machines. Sorry King, I'm onto some other game that will actually challenge me.

This level is impossible, unplayable, and pointless. I have played this board hundreds of times. I even payed for boosters, for extra moves, still no luck whatsoever. Bought the extra turns FIVE TIMES, still DID NOT PASS!! Unbelievable. Really wanted to make it to level 500! Oh well....don't see the point in playing this game that is just pure frustrating torture, with no hope of even passing, really mad I wasted 6 bucks on this stupid crap. Could have bought a Starbucks and been happy, instead of angry with pointless candy crush moves.....

I have been on this level for days! My last game was crazy. After playing my last move, it started to count moves backwards? I was able to play up to -75 (yes it took me that many moves to get the requirement). When I got a check mark, the game started to add my score to 300 million plus and wouldn't stop! it also continued to add moves to -5014? I couldn't stop it, couldn't get out of it, then it said I failed? I had to completely power off my ipad which wouldn't work for quite some time and go back in to the game to see I'm playing it all over again. Seriuosly something is wrong here.

Not only does this level suck beyond belief but it's so glitchy on Android. The hammer not only frees the corner candies but destroys them too. Often striped candies just don't appear despite matching 4 colours. Candies just randomly drop off the bottom of the screen! I could have finished this a couple of times without these issues. Time to quit....

I'm having issues withis level too. I have match 4 candies and they just disappeared not giving me a stripped candy... And I've had stripped candies fall off the bottom... Too many bugs!

Not only is this level insanely difficult, I believed it’s rigged to frustrate you into buying your way through it. My strategy has been to take out all the cakes as quickly as possible, grabbing any stripped matches where possible. If I have not cleared the cakes with 35 moves left, I dump the attempt. With 35 moves to play on an open board I normally get between 3 and 5 matches, even 6 on a few occasions. So, why do I think this level is rigged? In clearing the cakes I matched 3 candys, and had cleared the board with 36 moves left. This was by far my best ever chance of completing this boring, near impossible level. So what happened? With 36 moves left on the clear board, I never managed to find a single opportunity to match one pair of candys, truly unreal, and un president in all my other clear board attempts. …. In my opinion this level is fixed to ensure failure and maximum frustration on the game player. The game designers should be truly ashamed of themselves…

This has to be the most frustrating & most obvious attempt to try & force us to buy boosters. I dont think these "bugs" are an oversight... They seem designed to sabotage my game at times when ive been close to completing the required number of candy combos. I match 4 but am not given the stripped candy or at other times when i make a move to align 2 stripped ones next to each other they just dissappear. But the worst slap in the face by far is after I have combined the two stripped candies together it doesnt get counted towards the goal of 7. This has happened like 10 plus times. This game isn't even fun anymore thanks to the greedy developers & I'll delete the game before I give them even a penny. I really dont appriciate their attempt of being treated like a little puppet on a string... Kiss my bootie goodbye Candy Crush cuz im over you!!!

Congratulations to the lucky ones who have passed this level but for me after 100's of attempts have got totally bored and frustrated with this crazy level...no skill required just luck.Can make plenty of stripes but none will come together before being wiped out by tornado or board. Time to move on from CC as all enjoyment has gone.

This level was a nightmare for me too, but I eventually passed after heaps of attempts.

This level reappears as a mystery quest after level 485, and I passed it again first time with 11 moves left!

So yeah, lots of luck involved.

This was the worst level! Took me weeks and I adjust the time on my phone so I can play continuously so imagine how many tries. When I finally got close (needed two more pairs) I sucked it up and bought more moves cause there were stripes on the board already. Used a hammer on a candy that had a stripe above and below it so they would meet and then swapped them.

I am going to be able to stop Candy Crush now, I have been totally addicted but I am beginning to actually hate the game, level 421 is like going for treatment to kick an addiction. The boosters are not worth 2 cents in a pie shop. I would never pay for any since none of them help anyway.

Anonymous said...

I was very frustrated with this level. Finally, after two weeks I was able to beat it. I never used any boosters. I cleared the four cakes, and then strategically placed stripe candies . I agree that this level is mostly luck--and prayers that the tornadoes don't destroy your plan

Anonymous said...

I hate this level!!!! Closest I ever got was two combos left. Seems impossible and I'm really bored to death with it now. Not really any boosters that can help either and my stripes keep blowing up very frustrating. Umpteen tries too.

Getting really bored now! Played this level so many times. Got down to 1 combo and tornado blasted one before I could finish. Really frustrating and will delete game soon!

Just toooooo hard, stategy is not an option. Only luck will prevail. Am feeling less and less motivated to wait for such luck.

This level is horrible! Been playing it for 2 weeks and can't get below 3 left to match. Then on top of that I open the game this morning and all 83 of my extra lives are gone. I have played this level at least 200 times and am to the end of the rope here. Thinking it is time to end my candy crush saga unless someone comes up with some way of beating it. ANNOYED!!

I suspect that this is designed to make money so that when they go public they can say how profitable they are. Suggest to all that you abandon at this point - you cant buy anything that will help (unless you are prepared to spend £££ and it is just luck. Candy Crush - you were fun - now you are not. I have noticed that previously when levels have been really hard King puts through an upgrade and improves the level - now they just seem to be adding more impossible levels - sorry but I think this is goodbye - and its YOUR FAULT

This level is the worst! The whirlies eat whatever u get set up! There is no way to get 7 pairs! I think this is the level I quit on. When u knock out your squares they knock out the stripped!

This level has officially broken me of my Candy Crush addiction. I have been on it for over a month and it is crazy how many glitches there are. When I even think I am close, those darn tornados ruin my opportunities for stripes, or even land on the stripe wiping out a bunch of other stripes. I was hoping to read something on this blog that could help me, but it seems to be pure luck to get through this level or not :( Oh well, silver lining, at least now my kids aren't resenting mommy's candy crush addiction.

Now it is time again for a horrible level based on entire LUCK. I thought this game was ment to be fun and entertaining. Since level 300 it has heavily increased the number of levels impossible to pass without entire luck or spending lots of money of buying boosters. I am at this level now, and all i can feel is the game is only boring and the knowledge of that KING has stole a whole lot of time of my life. I can´t feel any joy at all playing this game anymore so now i have decide to block this application. Thank you KING for stealing my time and money! Fuck you!

Time to quit! Not even fun. Goodbye CC. Had fun up to now. Will look for another game.

Finally beat it with a speckled candy booster to start with and a hammer booster to make the last match with one move spare. Probably the worst level ever. I could maybe have beat it earlier if the android app. was bug free.

I fined that when I find fault with a level I win. Well I'm stuck on 421. And it's hard. I was down to one more stripy match and the mean tornado ate it up. but I made it this far,

lvl 421 isn't even fun. i don't mind getting my a$$ kicked if the lvl is fun but this is not.

Finally passed this level after weeks of playing. One thing I noticed was that once all cakes were destroyed and the whole playing field available, matching three vertically near the bottom almost always set up a four way match near the top for a striped candy. Once I discovered this, it only took five tries until I passed it. Hope this makes sense!

Another utterly boring, close to impossible shit-level. Do they want me to quit? Well, i'm very close to erase this game now!

Anonymous said...

I've played this level several hundred times now and can't complete it. I honestly believe that by the time you get to this level you shouldn't have to rely on luck. But there's no amount of skill that will get you through this level.

I'll also admit that in the past I've bought the extra moves when I had a chance a beating a challenging level. No so with 421; I've never felt I was close enough - never closer than two combos left even with the extra three moves - to justify reaching into my wallet. King's loss.

From what I've seen there's no skill factor involved. King would be better served to have their pop-up say "Love/Hate" rather than "Woo-Hoo/Boring".

I'm done with Candy Crush. This is supposed to be a game, and games are supposed to be fun. This just isn't fun any more.

To the people who post that they beat level 421 within 10 or less tries, good for you. You're obviously either the best players on the planet or bald-faced liars.

Good luck to you all!

When I see the video for 421 I see the candys with the check marks show up ? When I play I never see the check marked candys.???

Anonymous said...

Seems like the update is allowing at least for easier making of stripped candies. Still haven't passed it but getting closer by getting rid of the pies ASAP. They must be reading the feedback somewhere or they finally put two and two together as to why people are no longer playing CC. You'd think they'd be smart enough if they let us get close enought to finishing the level we'd be more apt to buy boosters or extra moves...right?

Anonymous said...

My best advice is to give up early and often. If you've only made one match after 25 moves, why bother wasting your time. Of course what is my advice worth when I'm about to pick up "War and Peace" instead of playing this stupid level yet again.

I can see why so many people are saying goodby to cc, this level sucks. So hard!

I finally made this level, on the thirty-eighth attempt at it. I had the feeling that making this level was easier on Facebook, but when I got the level, it was on my phone (Android). I had earlier figured out a strategy that was getting me close, once just two moves away from making the level (assuming no mysterious blowup of adjacent stripes or interference from the cyclone, the latter making me reluctant to spend money on extra moves), and several times, I was one or two combos short. I figured it was only a matter of time before I got this level. This was my approach:
1. take out the cakes as quickly as possible, as it is easier to make stripes on the full board.
2. ignore the frozen stripes in the corners; but if the opportunity is there to make adjacent stripes while breaking cakes, take advantage of it and consider it a bonus.
3. one one cake breaks, the others often break on the cascades that follows, and this doesn't cost moves.
4. one the full board is clear, make stripes wherever you can on the board, and then attempt to manoeuvre them into position.
5. if you get a sparkly, set it off against a candy colour with an average number on the board, not the most nor the least. This keeps the most plentiful colours on the board but allows more new candies to drop than taking out the colour that appears the least. However, be careful not to take out a colour that will cause a stripe to meld with others of the same colour.
6. when setting off stripes, be careful to do it in such a way as to not hit other stripes, if at all possible (but do try to hit the cyclone, though; it's a pest).
7. accept that moving stripes adjacent to each other will occasionally set them off for no reason; it happens at least once per try.
8. if the cakes aren't cleared with 30 moves left and if you have five or more stripes to make with 20 moves left, hit the surrender button because keeping on playing is just a waste of time.
Following this approach, I got this level on the thirty-eighth attempt, no boosters used, and with three stars and over a quarter million points. It can be done.

Over 200 try's and only been close once !! I don't want this level to beat me but I'm running out of patience .Why does it take a move when it shuffles? When I get stripes the tornado comes along and blows them up.HELP

Hi Finally i did it. It took about 4 days time . Concentrate on the swirl try to remove it as much as possible. You will surely win it

Unknown said...

Made it to421 but never been sooo stuck just when I have 1 last strip to match the tornado takes it and at the same time I get 4 candys .... They disabear. I play every day for 2 months now. Not fun. : (

Anonymous said...

Totally bored. I come back every once in a while and play maybe my five lives. Usually hit the quit button before it even ends since it's hopeless. I use to buy extra lives because it was fun...no longer. How can such a successful game not realize that when you don't let people win after a while they simply stop playing? Completely baffles me!! I have found a cool game, similar to CC it's Cookie Crunch. Levels are way too easy at first, but don't be deceived...they get harder and more challenging ...but doable!...so far...

Anonymous said...

Actually the name of the new game is Cookie Jam.

Ok, after a fair amount of time and even more tries I have to admit that level 421 kicked my ass. End of game for me! Good luck to those who still keep on trying.

May the fleas of a thousand dogs bite your groings King!

Anonymous said...

Pheeeeew... after 10 days of tough struggle, just managed to finish 421. One of the most shitty level where skills matter very less and only luck and prayers work.

However, few tips I can give is to try and maximise on the 4 existing stripes at the start and try to make 2 combos rightaway. Then bust those 4 pies as quickly as possible and then focus on the remaining combos. But this is a lot harder to do than saying, but if you guys keep on trying luck would definitely favor you at least once

Anonymous said...

the toughest level ever faced. The tornedo doesn't move randomly and instead it know exactly to blow the candy which is going to help. Twice it ended up with 6 matches and numerous times 2 to 3. In the first few trials the board gives many possible matches and as we go on playing the possible matches also decrease and the tornedo also destroys the many useful combos. Very frustrating.

Anonymous said...

Level 421 is the level where I officially end my CC addiction. I won't spend money on something that isn't fun anymore. There's a difference between being challenging and being totally impossible. On to a new game.

too bad about this level. got down to one combo a few times just to have a tornado rip everything apart. a very cruel level requiring luck and maybe a few months of your time. enjoyed the game until now. this level sucks.

It is a ridiculous level guided ONLY by luck.

Anonymous said...

I refuse to pay to play a free app. This level is completely ridiculous. The closest I've come is needing 2 more combos, but most of the time I can barely get 2. As soon as I set up a stripe and see an opportunity for another stripe, a chain reaction will detonate the first one or the tornado will get it. What else is annoying is that Candy Crush doesn't have any way of earning gold bars that you can save up to buy boosters. It would be nice if they gave gold bar or two each week or a few when you pass through to a new section. About ready to quit.

I've been trying for days and no luck! I can understand how people are leaving cc , seriously considering doing the same! So over this level!

This level is a complete nightmare but not impossible. Took me about three weeks. The way I did it was to log in every day just to get free stuff from the daily booster wheel (predominantly the red hand and the lollipop) without actually playing the game. When I had built up about 4 of each I started playing the level again. Played my usual strategy which was to get rid of the cakes as soon as possible whilst looking to make combos with the encased corner stripes. Waited for a decent board to start using the lollipops/red hands. With 11 moves left I had 2 combos left to get which is when I rolled out the red hands and lollipops - cleared it on the very final move! You don't need to pay to pass this level just save up the free booster wheel stuff, be patient and wait for a decent board...

I'm with most other people on this one. I started playing CCS 4 months ago (a case of everybody else was addicted, so to see what the fascination was). I've managed to get to 421 relatively easily but this level is impossible. I've tried it 200+ times & the closest I've got is 3 orders left (just once). I see the same bugs as everyone else. As I can only play on an Android tablet I only get a couple of the daily boosters (the lollipop & the chocolate bomb). The Tornado ruins this level.

One good thing, this level will make me give up playing and give me back part of my life!

I will NEVER pass this level.....:(

Day 4 and have gotten to needing two. Not even close. I have tried working one side of board, leaving two. But it seems no matter what stradegy I use, it rly does seem u need a luck board. The twisters aren't targeted for the stripes, so that's a plus. Hopefully, it will fall for me soon.

Anonymous said...

OMG this is THE most boring level to date..since there is no actual skill involved whatsoever and just pure luck..usually after a while Cc gives you the lucky cycle...anyone know about how many that is. Right now it is just plain boring..wondering if the rest of the levels going forward are the same and if so maybe Candy Crush has just run it's course. It was fun up until now but too much wasted time now.

Anonymous said...

Stuck for over a week. The tornadoes are taking out the striped candies in the corners if I try not to use them. Once I make a move to put two stripes next to each other, about one time in three the tornado takes one out before I can make the move. Very frustrating lvl. The best I have come to is 5/7. When I am able to I use the lollipop, but even using three in one game didn't get me there. I have watched three videos on this lvl and all three have used the switch, lollipop, or the checked to help. I rly don't want to spend anymore at this point. Not sure what else I can go except keep playing and wait for that luck board.

Looking on the bright side: maybe I have spent a little too much time playing, so this level 421 helped me kick the cc habit! Time to focus on the more important things in life, right ;-)

cherylcandycrush here.

Do you ever fear you could be wandering in candycrush land forever, stuck on the same level, to your eternal shame?
This level has that potential.

It's a bit tedious as you spend quite a long time each game, only to lose out.
Clearing the pizza cakes should probably be done asap unless you have an easy striped match you can do beforehand.
Last game, I managed to get the board clear with 37 moves still to go, then got a double stripe match next turn. On a roll, I thought. Yoohoo. But I finished with 2 combos still to go.

In my opinion the game would be more fun if you only had to achieve 4 matches, 7 is too many.

We want hard but not TOO hard. Or I do, as I am only an average player.

This is definitely one of the most frustrating and disappointing candy crush levels. A lot of the levels are challenging, but at least they are fun and make you want to continue playing to complete the level no matter how long it takes. When I was on this level, I rarely played. I thought about quitting altogether and choosing a similar version of the game. Hope they fix this level, but in the meantime, I did complete the level after reading everyone else's tips and realizing that I needed a really lucky start in order to finish the level. Hang in there, everyone.

RM said...

Just a hopeless level; tests every bit of patience in you. No skills needed; only luck and lots of it. Whatever you do as told in these blogs - nothing works. You take the pizzas out first or you do the corners first - nope - absolutely a shitty level. Fuc'King' King wants just to screw us and get money out of us. I could only pass this level after buying two boosters and using the daily free lollipop hammers. Good luck to all who are still fighting to win this level. I feel like smashing the tornado out of the iPhone - except that I will have to smash the phone itself!

Michelle dv said...

A devil of a level with the cakes, cyclone and needing those 5 combos. Like someone previously said, I found you really do need to get two before you blow up the cakes. So I then focused on that using the ones hidden in the jelly. Then I got another one when two cakes had blown away. I scored my final two by focusing on just getting two striped side by side. I had one sprinkle but using it was to my disadvantage as it blew away my striped. Given the posts here,I think I got lucky but I have seriously suffered in some previous games in this dreadfully frustrating episode. Won't give up just yet.
