Candy Crush Saga Level 422

Hints and tips showing how to pass level 422 Candy Crush Saga without boosters
Level 422 is classified as a hard level by King so you can expect to lose a few lives before you manage to pas it.
There are three popcorns blocking the dispensers where the ingredients come out, but there is no need to clear all three popcorns. As long as you open one of the dispensers all the ingredients will come from the same one and you can ignore the other two.
To clear the popcorns and turn them into colour bombs you need to hit them with the blast from a stripe or a stripe/wrap combo three times.
Each time you get ingredients off the board another will fall down so you need get them down to the exits as quickly as possible to allow more ingredients to fall.
There is no need to rush your moves, so look carefully at the board before every move and look for stripes and wraps and colour bombs to help get the fruit down to the exits.

This level appears to have a glitch. Just when you think you are about to complete it, you can't click on the candies anymore, and the game freezes.

Yeah, there is too much happening on this level all at once, I think it freezes the game. I always get a freeze when there is stuff happening with a bomb, a tornado, stripes, etc. all at once. It sucks. I don't have this freezing problem on any other level.

Not a difficult level if you can clear the top blocks quickly so that the ingredients can drop.

Be careful to manage the chocolate so that candies can drop to the bottom. I tried not to let my striped candies explode until they got to the bottom. This helped eliminate the ingredients quickly.

Good luck! PM

Omg, I completed on the first try! Took the advice about clearing all the blocks at the top and kept the chocolate in check. Sure I must have been amazingly lucky, too! :)

You'd need 50 moves to get through this level :(:(:(

maebee said...

Have tried this at least 100 times and the best I can do is to get 3 fruits down. very frustrating level. :(

Another level needs luck to pass. I got two color bomb and stripped combos to beat it after about 10 tries.

This level is the most frustrating level I have seen, I've came soo close to finally moving past this level and then either I can get a match for the last one or a tornado kills any chance for completing it. Been on this level for 25 lives. The whole soda swamp episode is bring me closer and closer to quitting this addictive game. Probably a good thing anyway. I use to think level 147 was hard, but I got back every now and then and beat that level for fun.

Not so bad. Got it on my 5th try. A few striped and a striped/wrapped combo helped a lot. -Gabi

I got to the last move to make a colour bomb that would have released the last cherry but it didn't change to a colour bomb - there must be a bug on this level, very frustrating!

Not so bad. Ten attempts. Concentrate on the top first then when all the blocks cleared on the bottom. Ignore the chocolate as far as possible. The whirls do nothing on this level.

God, am stuck for several weeks now.

This level was not as difficult as evil 421 or 350! But the rows of chocolate factories are quite intimidating!
* The tip about concentrate on destroying licorice and clearing 1 column to dispense ingredients is so correct! But do not get frazzled if in the process all ingredient dispensers are all opened.

* Make matches on the top part of the board as this keeps the ingredients moving and removing chocolate.

* The ingredients will just skirt pass thru openings down below no need to open up the whole row.

* Just concentrate on opening the ingredient dispensers, removing licorice and keeping the chocolate at bay.
Good luck! -LEI

Random. Passed on first try after spending ages on level 421. Open top to let ingredients fall. No major combos needed. Just luck for me I guess.

Anonymous said...

This level took me less than 10 lives. I opened up all three dispensers and then worked the bottom. The ingredients just fell right through. Wrapped/striped combos were helpful, as well as sprinkles. A breath of fresh air after 421!!!

I was lucky enough to mix a freckle with a stripe. It made short work of this level plus it gave me two more freckles to use. Bonus.

Jen said...

Yep, good advice from here got me through on 3rd time...Concentrate on clearing the top blocks...then attack from the bottom. Thanks to the advice was easy one, especially after 421!

What's the best way to get the fruit past the chocolate machines? They keep getting stuck on top

Anonymous said...

Horrible,horrible level...Shuffle and reshuffle all the time.It look like small curl play by itself and I have no option.

Anonymous said...

I would like to see somewhere this level solved with just one tornado...

Anonymous said...

I get three ingredients and drop them through. Each time with 8 to 12 moves left there are no ingredients coming. How can I do this level without ingredients? All I get is that message saying that I am out of moves. Is this a bug?

421 was no that bad but 422 is probably where I give up and say goodbye to CC. I am sick and tired of No more possible switches. Good luck to those with positive comments. Have tried 422 nearly 200 times and cannot succeed so the best thing is to give up and look for a better game with a level playground. I think that CC is just not fair to the majority and only a few get those lucky boards or buy boosters. I am not a gambler and like to play for fun rather than play on a slot machine such as CC.

Thanks for nothing Mr. King. After 421 you could have made it a little more pleasant. Not so. Done nearly 300 attempts and can get four cherries and am out of moves. The last fruit is out of reach anyway so an extra 3 moves from a friend are useless. Even the reward from the daily spin is wasted each time. Obviously you have programmed this level so that the whirlwind knows exactly which would be a good move for me and blocks it with your whrlybird. Reading some of the other comment puts doubt in my mind that those are genuine because I cannot get within cooee. Even had some friends have a try for me without success. Should I relent and investigate those cheat sites on Utube or just delete this game? Anyone wanting to comment?

Wendy said...

Had 4/5 cherries with 4 moves left and fifth cherry was one candy from bottom, but would not go anywhere in 4 moves. Had one lollipop left from level 421, so used it and was done. Was 3rd try. Had 4/5 on first try, and 0/5 on second. Figured it would not take too long, but then again, wasn't worth the risk after reading some above comments.

Here I am again, 421 took forever, now 422 is worse. Just about ready to join my friends that have moved on. It gets boring, not fun!!!!

Anonymous said...

not so bad! manage to complete on my last turn!! make sure to clear the top so the fruit can fall. i ended up clearing them all. got a few chocolate bombs that helped when paired with a stripe! don't give up! took about 10 lives!

Anonymous said...

Finally made it after that dreadful level 421. looking forward to this 422.

Anonymous said...

Super-boring level - in a whole day's playing I have only had the opportunity to make one choc ball/striped combo, despite playing really carefully and thinking about each move. Much worse for me than 421 - and why are there no comments on that level after 3 Dec 2013? I put in 2 comments yesterday and neither are showing - maybe King are managing the complaints by not allowing them to be published??

Anonymous said...

This is it, thank you CC for the good time while it lasted, you have a "good life", good luck to King going to China, they might need it, lots of games out there waiting. Bye!!!

Worked for me: try to open up ONLY ONE of the ingredient/licorice portals at the top. Then all of your cherries will drop on the same side and the licorice and chocolates will be easier to control. I used this method on my third attempt and beat the level with moves to spare.

421 help

cherylcandycrush here.
I got through level 421 with a lucky break, only to strike this next level.
Is it just me or is it getting to be like wading through treacle, trying to get through the levels now.
The good news is the cherries seem to skid around the obstacles without me having to move them, but getting the score anywhere near high enough is a challenge and I never get enough cherries coming down, let alone reaching the bottom.

I'm through. Here's how. I am not covered in glory on this one, but who cares.

First off-always do your daily free spin and aim for as many red hands or lollipop hammers as you can.

1. Don't overstress about clearing the top blockers for the cherries although you want it to happen fast. Concentrate mainly on just clearing one, if you can. But if no special matches can be made near the bottom, go for ANY clearing match at the top. Unless you get the first few cherries down and out fairly quickly, those last 2 won't pop out in time to get them down.
2. Look for opportunities to make special candy because these are what you need to boost the score high enough to pass. Matches down the bottom also cause cascades which help to clear the top.
3. The chocolate. Every move, look for a chance to kill it or keep it under control. Unfortunately this is probably one of the main tasks, otherwise you will be blocked and won't have enough candy to make good matches.
4. Keep an eye on the scores and the number of cherries left. Once that score goes over the 50,000, and IF you are down to your last cherry, this is the time to look in your bag of goodies to see what can help. I had one candy between the end and the cherry. I did not hesitate, I used a lollipop hammer.
5. Use those free spin wins-the red hand or lollipop hammer, if you get reasonably close. That is what they are there for-to get you through levels like this.

So frustrating... I end up with 4 cherries cleared often, but the last cherry never appears.
And I hate the delay having to wait until the !#@$ tornado stops... it is making the game so slow...
I will pass... just like I passed all the previous levels that seemed impossible. But this one is frustrating!

Anonymous said...

As I said... I passed this level today... nothing special but finally the last cherry appeared when I still had plenty of moves and practically got down and out by itself.
Now on to 423.

Michelle dv said...

Quite bearable given other levels in this episode. Took seven lives. I didn't do anything special bar watch the chocolate. Horizontal stripes push the fruit through.

Rachel said...

I had NO problems with this level. Cleared in just a couple of games. But after being on 421 for months, anything would seem easy!

Anonymous said...

this was a fairly simple level to complete ... worked on the bottom only making vertical stripes ... everything else fell into place with cherries falling off ... only took 3 tries

Anonymous said...

Don't see a way thru this level. Way worse than 350, 419. 421 wasn't hard at all. I think th cc gods decide which levels they are going to stick you at. Also, if you get a lucky board the first time you play a level more often than not u pass it. 422 just has too many obstacles. I'll keep trying but the best I've got is 3 cherries and no other cherries came down. :(

Hunter Valley Yabby said...

Very glitchy. Why won't the stripes clear the path all the way down? It's random, sometimes they clear past a chocolate machine and sometimes they just leave one last candy standing at the end of a row. Sometimes the cherries don't come down. Was waiting for the last 20 moves of the game but not a single of the last 3 cherries appeared. How're you meant to pass if the goal doesn't appear?

Anonymous said...

This level is absolutel horrid. 421 was NOT hard, nothing like this!! Only three cherries will drop! Stinking level. It just won't work--why???
Same thing every time, I may quit.

The coconut wheel booster is very helpful to completing this level!
