Candy Crush Saga Level 3493 Tips and video

Hints and tips showing how to pass level 3493 Candy Crush Saga without boosters by Cookie
Level 3493 is a jelly level with 16 moves.
The first and most important thing to do is get candies into the middle section. You won't get very far if you can't get them there as that is where all the jelly is. You can try to do it the hard way using stripes and stripe/wrap combos, but you are unlikely to get very far that way.
The best way, maybe the only way, to get the middle of the board moving is with a colourbomb combo. Switch a colourbomb with either a stripe or another colourbomb to unlock some, or all, of the locked cells and then you will be able to get some candies into the fenced section using other combos.
Once there are candies in the middle look for moves there to clear the chocolate and licorice and since there are only three colours on the board at the moment it is pretty easy to make special candies and combos to get the jelly cleared.
The hardest part of this level is getting started on unlocking the locked licorice and chocolate, but once that is done the cascades will usually take care of the rest for you.
The video below starts with 16 moves but is completed in 13 moves so if the moves are reduced hopefully it will still be helpful.

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.

Reset until you get double color bomb and that should do it. I also,added a fish to be sure, but probably didn't need it.

Tried the bombs and not getting anywhere.
lucky board please.

Got this one first try a couple of weeks ago. Just for fun played it again. You really have to watch that licorice as it can overtake that last jelly or two and keep replacing itself when attempting to get those last few jellies.

After failing when I started with full space dash, I tried this without boosters. I managed to get 2 cb combos, but still couldn't win. This is impossible until the candy crush gods deem you worthy to pass. Ugh!

double CB together did not work for me. Can't even come close.

There are just too many blockers and not enough moves to beat this level. The licorice fills up any space that's cleared. I'm ready to give up.

Why can't I get the lucky board like the video?

Sultanate said...

Only 16 moves can't even get close. Got 2 CBs together a couple of times still stuck on this level. Need a lucky board posting for luck

The game has picked up a little, but still not enough moves and too much licorice.

Posting for first time after so many years of playing CC. Exhausted from having to wait for a lucky board or having some changes done to the game after "feedback" from others.

I don't need this game on my life. Too many impossible games that take an age to get through, who ever thinks these games up has ruined the fun element in CANDY CRUSH. Not enough moves to even get in the middle and when you do there are no matches to get the last 2 remaining jellies. You are losing players daily because if these impossible games. LUCKY BOARD PLEASE BEFORE I BECOME ANOTHER PLAYER TO QUIT.

Chillgirl said...

Very hard level. Can’t even get close! Even with double CB, still had 19 jellies left. Help, I need that lucky board please!!

Harveey said...

If you have any lucky boarbs left over i could use one on this level

Anne said...

Finally got to pass this without boosters. Don't bother using them, they will simply be wasted. Had 3 jelly to go, one under licorice, a double wrap got them from above, was amazed.

Rena said...

I need a lucky board

Hp.fruity said...

You can’t reset anymore 😥

Barb said...

CC will no longer allow reset?? When I attempt a reset it acts like I have started to play and only offers quit game option??
Anybody else experiencing this?? If this is the new format doubt many will continue with this madness. If a glitch hope it gets fixed and soon!7

Kathy said...

Barb, I haven't been able to reset for several weeks now. It seems as though King got wise to our resetting for lucky bard and combo matches. Just have to keep playing until the lucky board allows us to pass.

Paul said...

this is crap.
probably need another 15 moves to beat this shit level

GC said...

I'm really fed up with these type of games. Clearly it's just to hold us back from catching up to them. Useless to get good combos when half the time they just explode by themselves causing a delay and the possibly of clearing this game. Word in one syllable BORING!

Shari said...

Even with an extra 15 moves twice, I still couldn't get it. What does that tell you king? Another crappy level!

Onmogelijk. Zelfs met bommen lukt het niet. Dubbele bommen. Aub help mij.

Stylish said...

Stupid level wasting so much of time playing this game knowing that whichever moves I make I will not pass this . Will only move on when King decides to magically pass this level after I has wasted my time, loaded of extra moves watched untold movies to gar extras and used lots of boosters, bored now!

Stylish said...

Still here and still trying to get rhrough to the next level, please King was this stupid impossible level!

cvbcb said...
