Candy Crusg Saga Level 1423

Hints and tips showing how to pass level 1423 Candy Crush Saga
Level 1423 can be a very frustrating level. To begin with your moves are very restricted but if you can make moves in the middle part of the board rather than on the conveyor those are the moves to make. This will do two things, it will keep the chocolate under control and also clear more blockers.
However, this is not always possible so you will just have to make whatever move you can until the board opens up a bit.
There is no jelly under the cream blockers so apart from opening the board to give you better moves there is no need to clear all the blockers. However you do need to clear the popcorn as there is jelly under those.
You will lose some lives to the bombs, but often the bombs will be eaten by chocolate or cleared by the mini cascades so don't spend too many moves chasing bombs if there are better moves elsewhere.
You need to study the board really carefully, especially watch the conveyor to see what candies are moving around and try to set up stripes or especially wraps.
Wraps will be a big help in clearing the popcorns so should never be ignored if you have the chance to make one.
A colour bomb switched with a stripe will clear some cream and with luck may hit the popcorns too.
A good booster to use would be a jelly fish booster as this will get to the difficult bits of jelly, but bear in mind that it may also spoil some of your moves that you are setting up so you need to weigh up whether it is worth the risk.
I used 2 extra moves to complete level 1423, but only because I had a really high score and didn't want to lose it and start again. I will attempt to complete level 1423 without boosters once I have completed the rest of the levels in this episode.
The video below is without boosters and mine follows with extra moves.

I found this to be a really tough level with very limited moves. Played it about 80 times. Even tried using a sprinkle to start with, but that didn't help. Just have to clear those 2 popcorns and use those sprinkles and clear it that way, but it's not easy. Good luck, everyone!

GrahamF said...

Found this level very frustrating. Many times there is only one move to make and not really a move that I wanted to make.. often had half board left when time bomb went off. Finally got 80% of board cleared so played on with extra moves, also with help of plenty of booster Hands to move colours around finally managed to complete this level. A Nightmare..... Best of Luck to everyone.

Anonymous said...

A true and ugly nightmare is absolutely right! I got it after hundreds of tries. I finally used a fish and extra moves bought from gold that the sugar pops gave me. I used all my hammers etc previously. A lucky board at the end gave me what I needed. I thought this one would be the end of candy crush for me. So happy to see it gone! Onwards and happy new year LOL.

Bombs and chocolate and popcorn--oh my! And this isn't even marked as a hard level. Really tough. Not through yet. I agree with the advice that it's best to work in the center of the board when possible. Good luck to you and to me in getting through this level.

Got it on the second try, no boosters - score 406,940. Wowwee

Anonymous said...

I am so bored with this level, barely even playing, but good to know about the cream blockers having no jelly!

I thought I'd be on this level forever but just got the lucky board. I had to add 5 moves to finish but finish I did with three stars, no boosters. Good luck everyone.

Mimi said...

Finally got this one after 5 days! No boosters and scored 521,040. I was so close at the end, just needed to hit the popcorn with one more stripe. Sure wish a hammer worked on popcorn! Got lucky and got the stripe! All I can say is pray for a lucky board and take your time between moves!

Peachie said...

This is a nasty level. Just makes no sense for a level to be this disjointed :).

Anonymous said...

Just as a few have said. You need the dream board start. For me I got a couple nice cascades right at the start to open up the middle. A freckle magically appeared and used that to get rid of a heap of one colour. It just got better from there. Managed to get a stripe/wrap combo in the upper left side of the board so that it hit both popcorns. Followed that up with a freckle / stripe combo that again... awesomely just landed next to each other. No boosters needed and had 21 moves left. Got a score of 438,360 ... Mind you it took me about 20-25 goes I reckon beforehand. Keep at it though...your board will come as did mine.

Anonymous said...

The first time I played I almost cleared the board. I wish I had used extra moves, now. Anyway, the third time I used a fish booster but I couldn't free it until I was down to my last few moves. I'll keep at it, but I hate it.

Anonymous said...

I hate this level. A majority of the time I find I have 15 moves left and haven't hit either of the popcorns even once! Ridiculous.

Anonymous said...

A bad board has the following features:

1. Constant shuffles because there are no moves.
2. Only one move possible.
3. Watching bombs count down, and having no way to destroy them.
4. Watching chocolate expand, and no way to destroy it.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you Board 1423.

Anyone who has passed this board, congratulations. But don't tell me there was any skill involved.

Anonymous said...

I am sick to the back teeth of this level I have been stuck over a week and not even getting close to clearing, let alone getting the popcorn, to use any boosters.
This may be my last level :(

Lisa said...

This level sucks big time. No skill involved, not even listed as hard. I have only gotten 1 popcorn to explode 1 time. King needs to ditch the popcorn or the chocolate...waiting for the iphone version to use boosters and blast this level...urgh!

billyrabbit said...

How is this not classed a hard level. I can't even get close. No strategy and no fun.

Lisa said...

Opened this level up this morning and now it is listed as a hard level...DOH!

Lisa said...

After my last comment I passed 2nd try this morning...

Anonymous said...

another board with no skill needed-just a lucky board. The constant reshuffling of this level is beyond ridiculous. aint nobody got time fo dat.

Anonymous said...

This for me is the most boring game of the whole one thousand four hundred and twenty three games so far. There really is no skill required because 99% of the game there is only one move available. It's just another game where you've just got to wait for your lucky board.

Anonymous said...

Wow, really tough. Tried about 100 times and barely got close. Then I got a lucky board with two wrapped side by side. Ended up getting it with no boosters and 13 moves to spare. You just have to get a lucky board and open up the center as soon as possible.

Anonymous said...

Well they re-classed this as hard and while I agree, it does not help. A truly awful level. I have been on it for days. I have used helpers but they were wasted, do not bother. It is the popcorn you need to get and at the moment I have not even got close to finishing.

Anonymous said...

This level is finally available on mobile. I checked off all 3 boosters and just kept resetting the board until I had a chocolate sprinkle next to a stripe. That opened up the board quite a bit and helped grow the popcorn. So glad to have passed this frustrating level!

Anonymous said...

I had NO LUCK with this level and it was killing me! Finally this am it was available on mobile and boom! First try. Don't know if it's actually easier on mobile or if I got a lucky board, but phew. Glad to be done.

It is marked hard

Anonymous said...

I was pretty much prepared to be here for a very long time after reading all the comments. But, first try, eight moves left, two stars. I used one hand switch to make a choc sprinkle/stripe combo and got one other one and got one wrap next to a popcorn. Other than that it was just regular matches and cascades. Good luck all.

Cat said...

Took a few tries, and my only tip would be always reset until there's a possible stripe on the first move. Good luck.

Anonymous said...

Always on mobile. Difficult to strategise on this level. The board dictates your moves. To succeed it just boils down to either one or both of the following; open with a matching set of boosters to kick off with a bang and/or hope for a lucky board with the likely need of onboard boosters towards the end.

Anonymous said...

Not really a fun level. And I wasn't a fan of the last one either. Still working on it, have come close a few times.

Anonymous said...

Started to read the comments looking for a miracle, but as I suspected, you need a lucky board. I have used all my boosters (chocolate bomb, wrap/stripe, and fish) on my iPhone and iPad.. have a few left on computer. Decided to not waste until I get extra moves from a friend.. which always happens after you've been on a level for awhile. Definitely no strategy involved on this level.. need a lucky board, period. Frustrating thing is that you can't clear color bombs that fall in the middle, hard to control that and the chocolate and the popcorn. Best I've done is clearing 1 popcorn with maybe another move left to clear the other.. and still needing to clear at least 3 jellies. I am one who has paid in the past to advance (just a few bucks here and there) simply because I can't stand being on a level forever. NY Resolution, no more money to Candy Crush. I'd rather break for awhile and accumulate boosters than pay anymore. Can't imagine this level was not rated as Hard in the beginning.. hardest one yet.

Anonymous said...

Update to my earlier comment from today.. yay! Got it. Had a lucky board, and used a hand switch (which didn't help) and a hammer to get the final move I needed to break the last popcorn (aligning a stripe to explode it). To me, breaking the popcorn was the hardest part of this, worse than the invading chocolate or trapped timed bombs. Luckily, I had most cleared with about 15 moves left so thought I had a good chance. Very difficult level, glad it's done.

Anonymous said...

Hating this level. Not enjoyable at all.

Anonymous said...

After many, many tries, I finally beat this horrible level without boosters! Made matches in the center part of the board whenever possible, which then opened it up considerably and allowed me to create combos. A sprinkle/stripe combo really helped in the end! Good luck!

Anonymous said...

And yes, again an impossible level with constantly reshuffling and only useless moves.... Waiting for a lucky board!!

Anonymous said...

Good tip Cat. I reset till I could create a stripe first move, but still needed several hand switches and got to my last jelly and had no more moves😁 Needed an extra and I did it. Hated this one

Van5 said...

Finally got this after about 30 tries. Used a fish the first few times, but found it didn't really help. Just waited for the lucky board. Finally got it. Got a colour bomb/ stripe combo once and then used a few hand switches and a hammer to finish this up. Didn't figure I would ever get this close again. Really not a matter of skill here. Just luck. Bombs got me many many times. Good luck everyone. Your lucky board will come!

Frustrated to the max... Shuffling, Shuffling, Shuffling,.... I used to be excited to play not so much anymore!!!

Aussie Mouse said...

After reading through the comments, i started with the 3 boosters and reset until the sprinkle was next to a stripe. This cleared the popcorn totally and then the fish took care of the rest. Finished with 23 moves left. Didn't think I'd get this one for a while. Good luck

Anon lafy said...

I don't know how many times I played this level - on Wiki it is classed as 'insanely hard' and yes, I agree with that! I reset the board to ensure I had at least one move inside the conveyor each time. Eventually that worked and somehow the shuffles worked in my favour. I was left with one popcorn, six moves and no prospect of making a stripe - but I had one wrap up near it, and another further down so I used 4 switch hands to match them and bang went the popcorn, thank goodness.

cherylb said...

After getting through 1422 levels, I think I'm done....this is the most boring level of the entire game.there is no strategy involved, most turns aren't even a choice, there's only one move to make. I've used almost all my free boosters and I e gotten down to just the popcorn jelly and nothing helps those...I've played at least 80 times and the fun is over....maybe I'll take a week off, I noticed sometimes King gives me a lucky board after that. I think they should think about when it's totally no fun, just luck, people are going to walk away. Congrats to the people that got it, but as someone else posted, it was just luck.also, several posts said its not marked a hard level, it is on mine..should be marked impossible

Anonymous said...

I found that I had the most luck using a stripe/wrap booster. Finally got it, but did have to use more boosters during the game han I like to, but what the heck, that is what they are for. If it weren't for the hard levels, I would have no use for them. JS

Anonymous said...

Definitely a hard level. I have been trying for a few days and haven't even come close. Hoping for a lucky board soon, or looking for a new game to play. I like a challenge, but this level is way beyond a challenge. :(

Anonymous said...

And here we are again, stuck at another totally boring level. I don't mind hard but this is just ridiculous. Game after game after game and getting nowhere near completing it. what is the point of that? maybe there would be some hope and fun if you occasionally got close, but to keep playing and getting nowhere is boring. Oh well as usual then it's keep playing till that so called lucky board appears.

Brian said...

The best tip here is to check all three boosters and keep resetting until you have a color bomb/stripe combo to start. Worked for me the first time I tried it.

John said...

must have gotten that lucky board I beat it first try with 6 moves left. 3 stars. The level before this one was a friggin nightmare. I had to use 2 hand switches and 2 hammers plus the 5 extra moves

Annonymous said...

Need luck! Had just as much chance of winning the powerball! LA

anon said...

This level is beyond ridiculous! I'm into my 2nd week of trying. If you have no boosters left (as in my case... used them all up on this level), your chances of making special candies are less than slim since there's no wiggle room to create any. And if you're lucky enough to make the special candies, they fall in the wrong places, or the chocolate gets them. There seem to be too many obstacles to overcome to make any progress. You have to hit through too many layers, and you're limited to making just a single move... and that single move isn't even your choice... it's a move you're forced to make! This is the 2nd level I've really hated. The other level that I struggle with for TWO months was 350 a couple of years ago. I seriously see no light at the end of this tunnel. Grrrr.... lol

Anonymous said...

This one is enough one to quit....miserable level

Anonymous said...

Was getting seriously annoyed at this one but kept trying and finally cleared with no boosters. The tip offered in this site's header about working the middle of the board is crucial. On mobile I kept resetting until there were matches in at least one of the four interior areas as well as a stripe combo pending in the lower left or upper right corners on the following move. Of course, if a candy bomb shows up on first move I figure one should default to that and proceed from there. After lots of resets and more than a week of trying things clicked. Taking the two stars and moving on. Don't despair! ems

A level that still shuffles after 30 odd moves .. King is losing the plot.

Melanie said...

I've been here forever it seems 2 or 3 weeks really...have gone through so many boosters I have no idea on numbers. The only thing that keeps me sane is the side games in the messages to collect boosters and playing for candy drops. Once I am out of those games I am going to take on a new work project and walk away from Candy Crush for a while. It's definitely time to take long break!

Melanie said...

Okay, very next game, after posting above comment, I used a sprinkle and a strip/wrap combo and passed this level from Hell with 1 move left!

Unknown said...

I don't mind when a level is hard, but I hate levels that are hard and BORING!

Read all of the comments here, played the game with trepidation and passed it first time with 3 stars. That's the first time I have ever done that with a tough level. Lucky board presumably, three chocolate sprinkles, one of them right next to a stripe and with 8 moves left it cleared the board. Phew,

Bobbie-Jane said...

This is 1 of those levels, that bring you close to quitting cc for good. Unless, you get an insanely good board like the post above. After days of getting nowhere close, I bit the bullet and used, 2 switches and 2 lots of extra lives. My reasoning is, these boosters were not paid for, so just use them when you have to. Good luck to all.

BW said...

I have been stuck on this very difficult level, will certainly try the many tips on here. Thanks all, back at it! :)

BW said...

I did the recommended tips on here, using a sprinkle, stripe, and fish booster. Moved them around until I got the sprinkle lined up with the stripe for the first move... It worked! Great tips everyone!

Anonymous said...

LOL, I love Christina SMith's response!! I so agree! Tough for sure and BORING as HELL! waiting for lucky board AGAIN!

Wow, I can't beleive I got it on third try, no boosters. Just followed the suggestion to play from the middle to open up the board, and not pay too much attention to the board. Good advice. Good luck to all ;)

Joanne C said...

This has been and still is one of the most boring and frustrating levels ever. I have used all my boosters with little effect several times and Iam about ready to just give up. That will cure my CC addiction!

Anonymous said...

This level is just ridiculous. I only passed after numerous tries using all 3 boosters, setting to have the color bomb next to stripe. Got down to about 5 moves and had to use 2 hand switches to position last stripe to nail popcorn. It's too bad we have to resort to boosters, good thing they are free just time consuming to play the sugar drop levels. If we did not have option of free boosters, I'd be done. Good luck all.

Anonymous said...

This is the worst. I have played this game over and over. I have gotten higher scores than my fellow players and nothing. I play on PC, iPad and iPhone. I have done those 2 hour deals out of the trunk on more than one occasion on each platform (not Pc) I just got a score of 542,400. I am out of boosters as I used them all on this outrageous level. I have played way more than 100 times today. I had only one popcorn and probably needed 3 hits to down it to win. I refuse to start buying when it is just one thing but nothing close to maybe spend a buck to win. THIS GAME IS RIGGED. I have watched people who were way behind me manage to get it and now they are 6 or more levels past me. I know King does not come here and my rant is pointless. I am totally PI**ed off right now.

Bling59 said...

After many many tries I used all three booster and kept resetting to get a sprinkle with a stripe. Then it was six lollipops on the popcorns and one hand switch. 10 boosters in all. Worth it just to move on.

Bill. said...

Found this very difficult and boring took of lot attempts. Getting the popcorn the most difficult. Still needed one extra move.

Anonymous said...

days of trying,...giving up...bye bye candy crush...

Ornursecandy said...

Tried once with no boosters. Then used all of them...resetting until a stripe was beside a sprinkle. Toward the end, I still had a popcorn and quite a few jellies. Matched a fish with a wrap which exploded everything!

This level is Stupid. There should be a Stupid button to push as well as the boring one.

All the extra moves I have been sent are of no use.
The level will not increase the moves .

I was just wasting them by using them. It just stayed at 40.
There must be an error.

Anonymous said...

Reset, reset, reset, make only move possible, reser, reset, etc. etc. Come on King give us a break. Give us a screen (I don't mind hard) where I can plan my strategy not just be a button pusher. Those of us who have stayed with CC for this long deserve better treatment than this.

Lucky me said...

Very tough, finally cracked it when a couple of lucky colour bombs appeared so manufactured a bomb/stripe combo by using a hammer or hand switch, I think this is the only way forward as they do most damage. I did this twice and it cleared most of the board, thank goodness for sugar drop boosters, though I'm sick of going back to 666, 906, 1073 and 1256!

This one is too much, time to move on CC. Go back are replay old levels that were fun.

With bombs and no way to hit popcorn its boring me to death it still would be hard without bombs so so bored bin on it for days

lucy said...

I don't see how its possible to beat this level been playing forever how can you hit popcorn twice your lucky to hit it one time before game over wish I could use coconut wheel then just maybe you would have a fair chance this level is not fun after 1000 or more tryst without a chance :(

Unknown said...

I play this level once a day. It's too frustrating to play more than once. Hate levels with restricted moves. It's all luck, and boosters. Pretty much done with candy crush. Great game while it las

Anonymous said...

Perhaps this tip helps someone. I played this level quite a lot without boosters and it didn't work at all. Then I used all three boosters and reset until the fish was next to the wrap. I switched the fish and the wrap and it did quite a lot of harm. One popcorn was gone at once and the board did open nicely. Afterwards I used a hand switch to put a stripe in the right position to blow away the second popcorn. I finished with some 10 moves left. So, it did cost me 4 boosters, but I am glad this horror level is behind me.

Sue said...

Terrible level. Shuffle almost every move. Don't waste boosters. Hate the slllloooowww moving track. Boring!!!!!

Anonymous said...

Need a really, really lucky board. About the time you have the board opened up when you can make moves, there is a bomb you can't get to or you run out of moves. Should be bombs or chocolate, not both. Very frustrating and boring.

Tissie said...

am not able to use extra moves that are sent to me by friends, I click to use it but it doesn't add the moves to the board. Also extra lives and moves sent by friends are not being added to tablet app only fb game. This level is so frustrating and the extra problems are making it worse

Tamijay said...

Beyond tedious!!! Why they make levels like this I'll never understand. No fun, just endurance. Played for days then finally got a lucky board on my PC. Never even came close on my iPad. Ended up using two hand switches and a hammer, but thank goodness I'm by it and never have to do this again. Let's hope upcoming levels are more fun.

I'm going to try a few more times & if no luck I'm outa here. This level is so bad I can't type those words!

After posting the above comment I made it after the second time. I had sprinkle bombs forming when they should not have & the last sprinkle bomb took out a total of about 10 jellies(different colors) in 2 separate locations! The magic of CC, absolutely no skill involved. I'll take it & glad to be moving on. Good luck to everyone else & may the magic of CC get you thru soon!

sprocket2 said...

So I played this on a lucky day, King was giving out sprinkle ball boosters. After trying a bunch of times with just the free booster - and getting absolutely nowhere - I added a sprinkle ball booster and reset until they were side by side. I set them off on my first move and, of course, everything got hit with one blast but a space in the center opened up where there were those greyed-out jellies (I don't know what else to call them, they don't fill in with candies until you can get other candies that you can match close to them.) and before I could work on them the whole area filled up with chocolate. The next time around I used a sprinkle ball booster and the striped/wrapped booster (and the free sprinkle ball). I reset a couple of times until one of the sprinkle balls ended up next to the striped candy. The resulting stripes, along with the remaining sprinkle and wrapped opened up a lot of the board and gave me a chance to make lot of moves. The first blast also hit the the popcorn a couple of times and made it easy to polish off.

I realize this isn't much help unless you are lucky enough to hit this level while there are extra boosters available. In that case I would certainly suggest a sprinkle ball combined with the striped/wrapped candy unless you have the patience to wait for that 'lucky' board.

I have been on this board like Forever! Not even close. The best I've done is get 1 popcorn. Have used so many boosters that when a bomb reaches 1 I can't hammer it---All Gone!!! Come on Candy Crush, give me a break! If this is what is to come, what is the use of playing. At this stage of the game, I would thing that playing this board over 100 times would be enough. Guess it's time for another game that actually challenges you like WordSmart!

The Candy Crush gods must have taken pity on me today. I read all comments here before tackling this level. Yikes! Having just won a treasure chest and two hours of unlimited lives, I struggled like everyone else to open things up. After wasting more than an hour of total frustration I finally decided to use three boosters. Since I had the time to continuously reset the board I worked away until a colour bomb opened beside a purple striped. I bumped them together without even realizing I must also have scored a lucky board that was heavy with purples. This first move alone killed both popcorns and started a faily long cascade. Long story short, I finished the level with three stars and 23 moves left over. Can't believe my random luck.

Hope they take pity on me! I'd like to know where the coconut wheel went that I got last night from the wheel spin? It hasn't snowed up for an option on any level since getting cit on my daily spin. Sucks!

There are hard levels and then there are stupid levels. This is a stupid level that can only be played by ITSELF.

Just waiting for it to play by itself with a lucky board.

Anonymous said...

Finally got it on my 77th try. I played it every third and used the other days to stockpile free boosters. By the way, levels 1137, 666, 966, 945, and 906 are some of my favorite booster getters.
Had a few lucky moves at first, and for the first time ever, popped a popcorn and combined it right away with the color that would do the most damage. Then cleaned up chocolate and easy jelly for a few moves. THEN wasted a ton of free boosters (lot of hammers and hands) to get the other corn popped. just a little clean up from there. 3 stars, 1 move left.

Hang in there.... Rob M.

lucky board please!!!

Anonymous said...

Thanks to those who said to just throw all 3 types of boosters on from the start and be prepared to buy a few extra moves, I finally got this done. I don't play on a device that lets me reset until I get a good combo to start with, so I had to use a hand switch early on to get a stripe next to a sprinkle. Nearing the end, because of the fish eating hidden jellies, when the game said I had just one jelly left to kill, I couldn't tell which popcorn it was hidden beneath. For this reason, maybe try to pay attention closely if the fish go near a popcorn because if they have eaten the jelly under it, you will need to know that. By the way, the next level is a dreaded timed level, marked "hard" as if timed levels weren't already hard. Crush on!

Ted said...

Thanks for the help, using all three boosters worked although I had to reset around 20 times until I had the sprinkle next to a stripe! A few extra fish showed up and after two days I can move on. Not looking forward to the next which is timed.

GC said...

I tried sparkle and fish a couple of times and once all three but didn't make any difference. This time I had a better board and I was eventually left with a popcorn that I could not hit with a stripe, they were all in the wrong place or I couldn't match it with the same colour. So I resorted to three hammers for the popcorn and then played until the rest of the jellies had gone except the the last jelly of the popcorn, so I used another hammer. It's just as well I had stocked up on boosters. But I would rather not waste four on one game.

Good luck everyone.

Anonymous said...

Well lucky lucky me. Got this second go. I followed the advice of making as many moves as possible in the centre area and with about 5 jellies and a popcorn to go I was able to line up a sprinkle with a green stripe and they fell just right to hit the popcorn three times and end the game.

Unfortunately very little skill in this level. Lucky if you find one possible move each time. Getting very boring. Might have to take a break from this game. Can't believe I am saying this since I am addicted to CC but this level is really no fun, boring and frustrating. Why do I always seem to get such a hard level right before a treasur chest?
Hope a lucky board comes around soon.

As if this level isn't hard enough, it only gives you ONE SHUFFLE and if there isn't a match in that ONE SHUFFLE it ends the game??? Haven't seen this in any of the other games as it usually shuffles until a move is given. Not fair!!

Anonymous said...

Agree with poster just above mine - probably 60% of my attempts end after 2 or 3 reshuffles due to "no more matches." How is this supposed to get me to want to keep trying?

Unknown said...

Hard level? More like, impossible level. How can you beat this level when it ends after 2 or 3 shuffles and no possible switches left? I went through 5 lives in about 2 minutes. sigh........

First of all I want to thank King for making it possible to win extra boosters. At least it gives players a chance to get extra help without spending. Also the calendar with free boosters each day for a week was a very nice gesture. I think everyone should realize that King is not totally a "big, bad monster"trying to ruin their lives. Remember it is only a game.
Now about this level 1423. It is extremely difficult. I am working to save up boosters so I can win that way unless you give me a lucky board first!!

Cyndie said...

Doesn't seem fair to make one move, then a shuffle and "no possible matches game over". Sheesh. Happened twice in a row. I'm out of lives. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.

Unknown said...

Another level where you've very little say in it, and you get through when the algorithm decrees it so.
Candy Crush 1423 is OK for a "game", but if you're a real thrill-seeker I suggest you may have a much better time doing your tax return - or putting the last five years worth of bus tickets in serial number order...

This is a joke ... continually one reshuffle and game over!

Yet again I was so bored repeating this level that I decided to follow the boards own moves. It didn't work obviously, so my next try will be with my eyes closed. Unbelievably tedious.

Crazy level, 5th day on it now and no closer to passing it than on day 1. Think I may have to check out some other games.

After reading posts, I used lollipop hammers to open a popcorn, then did what I could to get the most jellies. Then did hammers on the remaining popcorns, same routine. There were plenty of moves left and the board was open enough to get all other jellies except one and used ONE MORE hammer on it to finish the board. I'm glad I had enough hammers to do it. I've about lost patience with boards with limited moves and reshuffles all the time. HUGE lack of fair play, King!!

Awful level. Not enough room to work and often you set a move up only to have to use it before you've positioned it where you want because there are no other moves to make. Boosters are useless too - I've had fish I can never use, for example. Oh, and chocolate to contend with too! I don't mind a challenge, but this is ridiculous. And when getting through relies on a lucky board, that's not gamesmanship to me.

Re the above: meant to also put, I can't even clear the other jellies, never mind the numerous hits on the popcorn you need (as if you can ever get anything set up to hit a popcorn).

Judy said...

I wasted a number of moves trying to clear the cream in the lower right corner before I realized there was no jelly under them. I was down to one jelly, which was under the leftmost popcorn. So I caved and hit it with a hammer. Enough already!\

This is a tough one! A little HELP please 😊

After all this time playing CC, it's time to dump it. This is the most boring level I've ever done, with only one option to even make 3 in a row much less a striped or wraped candy. Just a mindlessly brain dead game. Good Bye.

Anonymous said...

This level is very frustrating for me. Used all my boosters and they did me no good. One last try and then it's quit time. Good luck everyone.

Unknown said...

Like others here I used up the going into the game boosters with no help. I even reset until choc.sprinkle and stripe were together and still lost. Finally, I had a couple moves in the middle, for the first time, and was able to clear a lot of jellies until I was down to the last two popcorns that needed one hit each.. but... I had run out of moves. I spun the wheel for the free 5 moves and got it (I was ready to buy at this point) and with my free moves I still had to use a lollipop for one of the popcorn... sooooooo glad this is over. Hang in there everyone who comes after me.

A hammer works on everything including popcorn.

Well hello...It seems the best way to win this is with boosters...fat chance when I have used them all trying to pass!! AND it is boring as hell!! I have paid for moves a few times in desperation but no longer, CC you can shove your game where the sun does not shine after my last attempts today. Good luck to all those who may stick with it but I am over the mind numbing boring stuff, what ever happened to the fun levels that made us enjoy this game?

Anonymous said...

The videos show how much luck is needed in passing this game with lucky sprinkles and wrapped candy appearing....I just hope the waiting period is not too much longer as I am totally fed up with this one.

Anonymous said...

Any game that reshuffles 13 times in 20 moves must ne nasty and this one is for sure. I am out of boosters from trying and had an utter gutsful of this level now.
I am not sure how in the hell we are supposed to pass this unless the CC gods decide its time..... The delete this game for good button is looming at fingertip!!

Old Lady said...

I think this is the end for me. Tired of wasting my time on this game. This level is ridiculous. So often there is only one move. Many times when I am trying to set up a stripe or a wrap the candies reshuffle and ruin it. I rarely even hit the popcorn, much less clear it. This level is the ultimate frustration for me and is no fun. I gave one final try with three boosters and still didn't come close.

Anonymous said...

I'm not sure how to pass this one either,no way in hell you can get the popcorn,come on CC what's with this crap,imabout to give up and delete the game,they are making it impossible .

Anna Errington said...

I had more difficulty on the last level but I just kept trying until I got a lucky board. As for this level my lucky board came sooner than later and with a hammer I passed. Keep trying and don't give up. Take a break if necessary

Anonymous said...

Omg I did it!! I watched the board carefully, used one hand switch and some hammers and I passed, woo hoo, yippee!!!

AlvaroGerardo said...

Anna, there's the key, "Take a break if necessary". Sometimes I go two or three days on a break on very difficult levels, unless I have the helmet that gives me free boosters.

Unknown said...

Oh my gosh! What a boring, hopeless level this one is! I read all of the tips and have already blown through my extra boosters. Without a lucky board I have no hope of passing this one. I can't even take out the popcorn after umpteen tries so am about to once again give it up!

Unknown said...

Stinking game! I almost beat this! I needed one more move! I had a sprinkle next to a wrap and that would have finished off the board, but I was out of moves and boosters! ☹️

anonymous said...


Looking for tips for this level, because this one is truly impossible. Hardly ever get anywhere near crushing the popcorn, let alone breaking through all the icing. Some levels are fun. Some levels are even fun to play when you do not win. This level is ridiculous and irritating and NOT FUN! So many reshuffles. Nowhere to play but the outside edges. Never enough moves to get anywhere near clearing the board in order to get to the popcorn. Just a clunky, dull, terribly evil level, making me far less inclined to play this game every day. It's like, 'oh right, I'm stuck on this one, yeah, nevermind, it isn't fun. It isn't even remotely fun! Just a whole lot of bad Ju-ju!

Alessandra said...

Wow the most boring level EVER

what’s going on with the king designers ? Do they even test these levels before releasing ?

I’m cant even get close.

I’m lucky if I get one measly special, let alone hit the popcorn or keep the bombs under control

Need a lucky board- am not enjoying this at all

Alessandra said...

Clunk ... clunk ... clunk ... yawn ... reshuffle

... oh another bombs just blown up

Im blasting through 5 lives in 10 seconds — what joy !

Waste of time
This might be it for me

It would be difficult enough with all the icing, limited moves & bombs , but to add popcorn you’re NEVER going to hit 3 times each ??

CC you’re just getting too unrealistic
And frustrating
This used to be fun and a way to unwind — it’s a shame

Anonymous said...

Even when I use all three boosters AND reset the board until the chocolate sprinkle is next to either the stripe or wrap candy, I can't win this level. I've never been able to get both popcorns! I guess I will use up what boosters I have and then call it quits. For good.

Glory said...

This is the most tedious level ever. Over 100 lives and not been able to get one popcorn. Used many boosters only to no avail. I think this is the end of the line for me. Too bad as Candy Crush Saga used to be fun and not stressful. Thank you everyone for the helpful comments
