Candy Crush Saga Level 3173 Tips and video

Hints and tips showing how to pass level 3173 Candy Crush Saga without boosters by Cookie
Level 3173 relies on quite a bit of luck at the start as you don't have many choices and you need to unlock the locked licorice as soon as possible to give you space to work.
Wrapped candies and stripes will do the job if you can manage to make them, the middle and top squares are the most important to unlock as this will give you the best chance to make good moves once they are gone.
Don't worry about the spawners, you are unlikely to destroy any and you don't need to as there is no jelly under them.
Once the licorice is unlocked look for the best combos you can make to clear the jelly.

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.

Passed this by using all 3 boosters and starting with a wrapped next to color bomb. That unlocked all the licorice except top one. Eventually a fish unlocked the top licorice since I was unable to get stripe or wrap in the right spot.

Having the space blast, I started with a stripe/wrap in a good position in the middle. It wiped out most of the blocked licorice. As Cookie said, not worry about the spawner.

I combined 2 CB, worked well. Like Carol and Cookie say don’t worry about the spawners

No one has mentioned the bombs. I had to use a hammer on one of the bombs before I completed the level.

Bear with me, I didn’t have any bombs. Just completed on iPhone. Worked easily with full space blast and I reset to get 2 CBS. Elektra.

This game is generally driving me nuts at the moment. My space dash constantly disappears overnight and I'm finding the double cb doesn't always work. This level should be easy but I cannot pass it. And I hate the liquorice!

This one Is very difficult, and also boring to play.
I played it so many times and quite often I ended with only 1 or 2 cells left. Ultimately I got so frustrated, I bought 3 lollyhammers, totally against my principles, and succeeded in finally, finally finishing the game.

Needing some luck for this one please

Finally got this with just a hammer needed to clear the last square. But given the number of lives I spent on this level before getting the lucky board (and many of those attempts were with boosters from the space dash) I really think this should be categorized a hard level. Not to mention boring, as there's only so much you can do at the beginning.

Somehow my red door reset function doesn’t work! I can’t reset to combine colorbombs. Anyone else have this happen, and is it fixable?

App will not let me send lives or request lives

Need luck. Doesn't seem as easy anymore. Meh.

HELP! Posting for luck.

Sparkyjo said...

I should have read the tips before I played. Now I don’t have to get the spawners I will probably look at things differently. Looks like I need some luck too. Thanks cookie.

Rena said...

I need a lucky board

Trini said...

In 3 tries. No boosters. Thanks cc

Yoshi said...

I strongly suggest using the hammer on the first move on the locked licorice in the middle. This frees up the board to create specials to clear the rest.

Outro nível ridículo e nojento. Tem jogos melhores. Hora de deletar o CC.

Utterly pointless. Just played game after game and couldn’t even zap a single locked licorice. Pretty boring to play too.
