Candy Crush Saga Level 2879 Tips and video

Hints and tips showing how to pass level 2879 Candy Crush Saga without boosters by Cookie
This is an interesting level, although it looks as if it is impossible given the restricted board, it is actually fairly easy if you plan your moves carefully.
If you can make 2 wrapped candies and get them together along the bottom row this will clear the licorice and complete the game.
Another good way to clear the licorice is a double colourbomb combo. You can get the colourbomb combo by using the space dash booster or Morts helmet and a colourbomb booster. Keep quitting and restarting without making a move until the two colourbombs are side by side, then one move will clear the level.

If the level you play is different from the one here it is because the developers have changed it since I played and I have no control over this. Please let me know in the comments and I will try to change it.

I used two color bombs right away and got only 6 ingredients. The other ingredients began falling one per turn, along with licorice, and then it became impossible again.

I beat it by starting with two adjacent color bombs and then waiting 4 or 5 turns before combining them. The "ingredient dropping clock" had then advanced enough to allow the additional ingredients to drop all at once.

They have CHANGED the level..... This time for better!!! Have a look in the video... No belt. Now there is a belt running around the field, therefore stripes coming from the spender help and can be adjusted to the right position

Worked not for me, wasted 5 without sucess :(

I used boosters. Life's too short. Plan your moves carefully assumes you have anything to line up and enough moves to do it. Feh.

I hate this level, im not even getting close.

Tried using the two wrappers as suggested by cookie ended up wi5h one cherry left ! I have no belt either so getting absolutely nowhere !

Kevin said...

Played a few times and got close and then got the bit of luck I needed to form two colourbombs together. No boosters required. Onward.

Anonymous said...

Thank you Mike...the color bomb combo and waiting 4 moves cleared the board when the two color bombs were combined!

Unknown said...

No belts. Figure out that you need to clear the 2 row of licorice to complete. Started with wheel. Reset till the wheel is on top. Clear3 licorice in the top row.ignore the stripes from both sides which is never in line to clear the 2 row further it only clear 1 so not helpful. Manage to get wheels dropping 2 to 3 times. Also got 2 wrap together at the top bottom near the row of licorice. Keep making horizontal strips in the top centre half to target the licorice. Clear it with 4 move to spare

This is impossible and not fun! I can't even come close! I've tried color bomb and stripe by each other, coconut wheel...not even close!

Annomous said...

Ok I give up, this game is getting redicuously difficult to get through certainly not fun any more. Bring back the enjoyment element of CANDY CRUSH.

You know you are screwed when the suggestions from the video maker include using the space dash or mort's helmet - neither of which I have seen for months - they have disappeared. Looks like it should be doable, but many, many, many, many tries later, I'm still here.

Talk about out of the pan and into the fire! Last one was the pan and this is the fire. Man oh Man. I will get 6 or 7 of them and then all of a sudden I get nothing. I need a lucky board asap. So Please come pay me a visit lucky board.

Spicelady said...

I used all my wheels and bombs. Help. Lucky board please

Spicelady said...

I do not understand how to play this game. Watched the videos and they get all the lucky moves. This may be the end for me.

I have no boosters, need much luck...

iMac said...

I agree...last episode was fun...this one is just maddening.

Laura said...

Wow, thanks! I have been battling the licorice.

Graham said...

Level 2879 is now changed. An update would be great.

MissyM said...

Mike's suggestion sounds great, however, I am barely able to make one colour bomb, let alone two, so my odds of being able to combine 2 colour bombs at move five are pretty slim.

I lied when l said one of the previous levels was the one that made me give up. I persevered, but it’s this one that’s done me. Apart from the fact that the stripes dropping together do absolutely nothing (when mixed together they’re never aligned with anything that helps), l have just been randomly given sprinkles, wraps and stripes (probably because l haven’t played for days as this level is impossible so the algorithms are taking pity) - and even they are no good! Again, they’re in places where they are useless. So if even a lucky board doesn’t help, what point is there? Stick it, Candy Crush.

Unknown said...

The developer is a cheat.When you use your booster, it places them in an unusable location or area. Cheat, cheat!!!

C said...

Wow, you make it look so easy!

Cmitch said...

Not getting it

Still stuck on this level. Posting for luck again.

I got 2 color bombs together and it only cleared 9 of the 10!!!!

cvbcb said...

Used coconut wheel going across. And Hit some licorice with vertical stripes in top section. At one point I had 2 wrapped next to each other in middle of bottom row top section. I matched them together and this move blew away all the licorice. Lucky board!

Annie said...

Hate this one. Lucky board please. No boosters left now :(
