Candy Crush Saga Level 3309 Tips and video

Hints and tips showing how to pass level 3309 Candy Crush Saga without boosters by Cookie
There are only 7 moves to collect 70 stripes and 32 licorice, which should be impossible but is in fact fairly easy once you get going.
Although not a hard level it does rely quite a lot on luck to get the colourbombs you need.
Once you have the first colourbomb it gets easier, you need to be trying to get colourbombs and stripes together so you can switch them to get the stripes needed. You will need at least two colourbomb/stripe combos to get the stripes and you can also switch two colourbombs together to clear the licorice, this will give you a better chance of collecting enough stripes.
You can only make matches vertically because the candy canes prevent you from moving the candies sideways.
Once you have completed the orders the game tends to cascade for a long time with colourbombs exploding everywhere. You can either let it cascade until it finally ends or stop it once you have collected the orders.
I stopped the video below as I didn't want it to go on cascading too long.

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.

3309 - 7 moves to collect 70 stripes and 32 licorice, I thought "you gotta be kidding me!" But then this turned out to be one of the most easiest and fun levels in quite some time. With only 2 colors on the board, it's nothing but CBs and stripes galore. First try, 3 moves left and I used the "tap here to skip" option when the score got up to 2.5 million with continuous cascades going off.

This level looks hard but it's quiet easy. The two color combination allows for infinite points. I have let it run for the last 2 hours and I am letting and it is still cascading. It is up to 65 Million Points

Francisco Diego said...

Really easy. Done with 5 moves and stopped after nearly 31 million points

Brenda said...

I cut it off after 50 million points. I think it would keep going forever.

Mike Margolis said...

66million

RG said...

I do wonder how long the cascading will continue. Ten minutes and counting.

Anonymous said...

What a great level, have not had such a fun level for ages, easy to pass as well

Divinyl said...

Has anyone's game actually finished on its own, without you having to to skip to stop the cascades? I'm at 26 million and counting. Another poorly-designed level, straight after a poorly-designed level. Groan.

Anna Errington said...

mine stopped on on its own(about 1/2 hour). in the millions. forget how much as I did this the other day.

Anonymous said...

That was fun. But I'm glad we have the 'tap to skip' button or no-one would ever move on.

Anonymous said...

Currently letting it run out on it's own. About 25 min elapsed and score over 3 BILLION! Still going... Gonna pull the plug soon.

Divinyl said...

It's at over 100 million now, with no signs of it ever stopping.

Anonymous said...

Update: Finished on it's own about 5 min later - 40,961,100 (Sorry not in the billions - apparently I have trouble telling numbers without commas!)

Divinyl said...

And as you can see from my comment times, that's a whole hour since it was at 26 million. Bloody ridiculous.

Divinyl said...

At some point it has now counted down the two moves I had left, which has only continued the cascades...130 million and still going strong.

Divinyl said...

200 million, and something like three hours. Still going.

Anonymous said...

I skipped this level first time round but let it run the second time. I got 62 million AND the game actually ended itself after 57 minutes!!!! What an amazing level for the contest to collect green candies for Dexter's rocket!!!

Divinyl said...

It eventually did stop, at 330 million+, by which point I had fallen asleep.

Unknown said...

Anybody know if you can DO anything or BUY anything with those stupid gold crowns? What is their point??

Really? This level plays itself!

Anonymous said...

Went on a Caribbean cruise, came back, and it was still going. An exaggeration, but I did cut it off eventually. Nice to have a simple level once in awhile.

Grandma said...

All I can say is they must have very lucky boards and I haven't. Please help

Scott said...

Mine finished by itself at just over 185 Million.

larfingravy said...

Don't any of you complaining about the cascading at the end have the 'skip now' option come up at this point?

Unknown said...

plus de 315 millions et environs 4h30 de cascade

Even with all the cascading this level does im not able to pass. Posting for luck

72,681,280!!! Took a nap and came back... seriously fun laugh-out-loud level! THANK YOU DEVELOPERS for a well-needed break :) PJ2

Kathy said...

Warning: I closed the game afternwinning when it got to over 39,000,000 without clicking skip. Now it wants me to play this level all over again and won’t let me go on until I do. ;(

Avroh said...

I passed this level a long time ago, but like levels 666, 906, 1137 and 1476 (and a few others) it is a number that you must remember for certain challengers, especially for color bombs. I keep replaying this level and have scored anything from 175 bombs to 325 (average about 250). And unlike sugar drop challenges it lets you play this game over and over again with all points counting.

joy said...

i hit “skip” at ~26 million, and it gave me a final score of ~48 million.

Unknown said...

I let it run overnight and finally scored 146 million.

I find nothing easy or fun on this level. 99% of time no color bomb until 3 or 4 moves left and never next to stripe. Does absolutely no good!!

Anonymous said...

Once you have passed this level and you start with a color bomb, do not play the next level but keep replaying this level to build your booster bot to the max

Anonymous said...

what am i doing wrong ? No bombs or stripes appearing for me.........

Texas Red Rose said...

Love this level. Got the first time with over 10 million points and still going. Hope more levels are this easy. Thank you King.

again??? only need lucky board, no need strategy

darayashp said...

It's great for winning the space race

Anne said...

A few comments here from people who are having trouble getting started. I too had this problem. My trick was to use the first cb on green, then a second one appeared, used that on green also. After that, it was super easy. Hope this helps someone

jeff said...

... they've rigged the game so that it now takes all five lives to get enough matches to win. Those of us that used to play this level for color balls now have to use whatever few boosters we have left to pass the level. Candy Crush doesn't even pretend to be honest or fun anymore. It's just a racket. I know .. I'm at level 6719 .. so good luck.

Eileen & Skip said...

Yep, they cut 2 moves from the level, this used to be my go to for the color bomb contest, King is ticking me off..

Como vou passar este nível com apenas 5 movimentos??? Só pode ser uma piada. Estou saindo fora deste jogo manipulado e fraudulento.

Anônimo said...

5 movimentos para coletar os pedidos??? Jogo infame. Se é para ser impossível, coloquem apenas 1 movimento, pelo menos não enganarão ninguém. Adeus.

Sb said...

Please help

Anônimo said...

Tantos pedidos para serem coletados, com APENAS cinco movimentos??? Deve ser alguma piada, e de mau gosto, ou o CC acha que somos idiotas??!!

Anônimo said...

Este nível só é possível se tivesse 10 movimentos, com cinco é impossível! Certamente este nível é o final do CC para mim.

Sb said...

Please help

Carole said...

Waiting for lucky moves

Anônimo said...

O CC precisa aumentar os movimentos, como querer que colete tantos pedidos em APENAS cinco movimentos????????

Joro said...

Only 5 moves now

old timer said...

No more

Got my decimal in wrong place. It just finally stopped after 7 hours. 501,941,940 points and 11,291 color bombs

Unknown said...

Only 5 moves now and pretty much impossible without throwing away a few colorbomb and stripe /wrap boosters. Shame on you King/Activision!

Anônimo said...

Cinco movimentos????? Tem certeza?? Que jogo ridículo! Não vou perder mais meu tempo aqui com este jogo manipulado e fraudulento.

Como concluir o nível com apenas 5 movimentos??? Com certeza este nível é para afastar os jogadores. Eu estou saindo fora. Nunca gastei nenhum centavo neste site, e não será agora que vou fazer isso. Existem jogos melhores e inteligentes.

lonelysoul said...

Cascade running for over 90 minutes now, score over 70 million, but my extra moves have been used up.. So, probably gonna end soon.

LLG said...

Apparently, they have finally noticed that some of us regularly went back to level 3309 in order to get colour bombs and blue or green candies by the hundred to maximize our chances of winning the various contests and getting the free boosters as rewards. They changed it less than a week ago : it still features only green and blue candies until you get the orders required, but once you reach the goal, you get orange, red, yellow and purple ones coming down along with the blue-green ones, so that instead of cascading indefinitely the game stops in a matter of seconds.
Looks like it's the end of those easy wins and easy boosters...

It really is disheartening that the developers crushed the life out of this once incredibly fun to the point of giddiness level. We players wirk really hard in the game, a game that King persists in making harder by removing moves, so it is upsetting that this surprise oasis level is no longer awesome, or even close to amazing. The unforgivable abomination is that you can now lose this level alot! For years, it was a feel-good jackpot level,now it is just so sadly meh.👎🏼. Wow King, way to wreck a little treasure in a pretty challenging game. Actually, the all-color candy drop after the win in all games sucked some good fun out too.
