Candy Crush Saga Level 1997 tips and video

Hints and tips showing how to pass level 1997 Candy Crush Saga without boosters by Cookie
Score 300,000 points in 30 moves! This is quite a high score to achieve, but there are countdown bombs which will be needed to get this score.
You'l need to release the bombs fairly quickly from the dispensers at the top, you have only 15 moves to clear the first lot of bombs and this isn't always easy so you can expect to lose a few lives before you manage it.
Use vertical stripes to release the bombs once you have cleared some of the blockers and have space to work. Then you will need colour bombs to hit the bombs with and maximise your score.
There are colour bombs on the board in the form of popcorns at the bottom and wrapped candies are the best way to grow them.
If you are struggling to clear the bombs try starting the level qith a colour bomb booster.

No comments? Really? Apparently everyone got drummed out on nightmare levels 1995 & 1996. So nice that this isn't a "hard" level.

Started with sprinkle and stripe and reset til beside each other. This cleared the board enough to make more. Matched other sprinkles I made with bombs or plain colors thar had bombs same color.

That, not thar.

Started with sprinkle booster & wrap/stripe. Reset until sprinkle was next to the color of 2 of the top bombs. If all of the bombs are a different color I reset. Then I used a hand switch to get another sprinkle that fell next to a striped candy & then another sprinkle appeared. Ended up with well over 300,000.
Accumulate sugar drops! Gd luck! NC

I used a color bomb and striped/wrap combo and reset until color bomb and striped were next to each other to open up the board. That still didn't work. I ended up using 2 hand switches to get the right color next to a color bomb that was under popcorn. I think King has come up with these ridiculouslyrics hard levels so we have to use up our boosters and buy more. Yes, sugar drops help, but all I ever get are crummy prizes that don't do much good.

Regarding sugar drops, play level 1476 and DON'T win. Just focus on collecting sugar drops. I just collected 39 of them.

I got this one by starting with sprinkle and stripe/wrap boosters and resetting until the sprinkle was next to a wrap the same color as candies near the popcorns. Opened one right away and had two pulsing on the first move. From there it was fairly easy. Finished with one sprinkle and several specials on the board and Sugar Crush added a lot more points. JS

Only tried this one twice so far. Ran out of lives. Just wanted to say "Hi, I'm still in the game."

Tricky one, haven't tried boosters yet but I suppose I'll have to. I'll let you guys know how it goes. These levels sure are getting tricky. Thanks for advice all

My highest score was 235k but most attempts were far less. Eventually I went for sprinkle and stripe/wrap boosters and reached the target with 14 moves left. The sprinkle started next to the stripe and that wiped out the bombs, but I made a few other moves on the other side first to open up the board a little. I managed to drop the wrapped on top of a popcorn and that gave me another sprinkle. It was easy after that.

My suggestion is that if you have two sprinkles next to each other, play them separately. I had it happen twice. First time I played both together to clear the board. Not many points. The second time I played them separately and earned many more points that way. Make sure the first one is played with a solid or a bomb. A striped could wipe out the other sprinkle. Good Luck!

I do not like timed levels!

Tricky level. Bombs go off quickly.

Show video where bombs don't get shuffled into the bottom because there are no moves.

Only played a dozen times but so far yet to register a score. I hate bombs particularly when they are hidden!

Not too bad, really. Didn't start with boosters as many of the other commenters did. I had not yet reached that level of frustration. I just hoped for a shuffle to move the first four bombs down into the playing area where I was easily able to take care of them and any others that fell. I then just tried converting a few of the popcorn into candy balls, which I let ride.

New England said...

good advice-used both boosters and was able to make a lot of bombs-seemed like a hard level til then!

Still stock on 1996 just wanted to see next level looks harder

All levels are difficult now, no matter how they're labelled. However, some are actually fun to play, which has kept me going. This one is NOT a fun level! It's the first one that I thought I might not ever succeed at passing, so I gave up on it for a couple of days and started playing sudoku online. I just went back to it and passed with 459,000 points which is surprisingly only one star. I used a sprinkle and the stripe/wrap boosters, and even with that, it wasn't a piece of cake. I backspaced a zillion times until I managed to get the wrap within one space of the sprinkle. I got them together eventually, destroying two of the bombs, opening up the board and presenting me with many other possibilities. Dont despair, fellow travellers...it may seem impossible and chew up a lot of boosters, but your lucky board will some day magically appear. Good luck!

Posting for luck.

I have finally decided that since all of these higher levels are hard or super hard it’s time for me to stop playing this game. These levels cannot be solved without buying extra moves and boosters. If I play the same level for days and days I usually will get a lucky board to pass with but it is to boring to have to play the same level over and over and over etc.

For me, the key to this level was to get the board to shuffle so that the bombs get put in the playing area. I was watching the ads to start off with a booster, and I realized that was just causing the board to (slightly) open up and prevent a re-shuffle. On my second attempt starting with no boosters, the board did shuffle and 3 of the 4 bombs were in the main area. I created a couple of special candies to break through the columns, but the one remaining trapped bomb was not one of those open columns. The other key to this level, I think, is breaking the popcorn to get the color bomb(s). The timer on the one remaining bomb was down to 3, and the stripe + wrap I used to break the other columns also did the trick on the popcorn. I still had to use a hand switch to move a candy next to the color bomb that was the same color as the bomb that was down to 3. After that, the bombs kept dropping. If you can get one more popcorn to pop, switch the color bomb with a bomb and that'll should get you the points.

Getting rid of the 4 initial bombs is crucial (duh), and unless you get an extremely lucky board, the easiest way that I see to do this is a shuffling of the board. You still need to find a way to break through the blockers so bombs (which equal points) can keep dropping, but at least you've got a fighting chance if you get past the timer on the initial 4 bombs.

This was NOT a fun level.
