Candy Crush Saga Level 3716 Tips and video

Hints and tips showing how to pass level 3716 Candy Crush Saga without boosters by Cookie
You have to grow all four of the popcorns into colourbombs to complete level 3716 Candy Crush Saga.
Although not classified as a hard level this can be quite tricky to pass and needs a bit of luck at the start. You need to get a good start to collect the keys as quickly as possible to unlock the popcorns so that you can begin growing them. It doesn't matter if the chocolate eats the keys as they will still be counted and will unlock the locked cells.
Unfortunately once you have collected the keys you also unlock bomb dispensers which drop 8 move bombs down each side of the board. You can't afford to waste moves chasing the bombs, so you have to be brave and ignore them while you make combos to grow the popcorns. 
You will have to make colourbomb combos to have any chance of beating level 3716, this is the only way. The best combos are colourbomb/stripe combos, these will hit the popcorns and clear the bombs at the same time, so saving moves.
Switching a wrap with a colourbomb can be good, but the wraps tend to drop down the board before they explode, so if you need to hit the top popcorns this combo is unlikely to be helpful.
If everything goes well and the stripes go where you want them this can be a fairly easy level to complete, but I played over 35 games before I finally managed to pass and the main problem I had in most of the games was the bombs counting down. 

The video below was completed in 13 moves, but I was lucky that the stripes went the right way most of the time.

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 found this a fairly challenging level. Once the chocolate is gone you get bombs and licorice that can slow you down. As Cookie says, getting stripes in the right places so you can hit two color bombs at once is the trick. You don’t have to do a stripe cb combo if you can get a stripe (in the correct direction) between two of the popcorns.

This level is very hard. The bombs make it practicality impossible.
Hoping for a much needed lucky board.

Very very hard. Went through a bunch of lives and the bombs keep getting me. Will try again later. Lots of luck needed! Barb

Posting for luck. Bombs are horrible. Another level where you need luck more than skill. Good luck everyone.

Super annoying, messed up level. Plan on losing a lot of lives.

How is this not a super hard level? Can't really fathom out a strategy either. With no boosters it takes almost the whole game to get the keys; using boosters and the bombs get you... Especially the ones above the top popcorn. Maybe I need to save up 12 hammers :-( Nanny Annie

As an experiment I decided to use a Check Mark to see what would happen. Started with Space Dash (sorry you guys that don't have it) and restarted til I had double Chocolate Sprinkle to mix. And in a few moves, multiple popcorns appeared quickly in the middle of the board.
Just a few wrapped candies broke three of the Popcorns, and I used one hammer on the fourth popcorn just to be done with it
I never even broke the original popcorns. Maybe it was a lucky board, but No bombs even came close to going off. Hope this works for you!
~Good luck!

INSANE!!!!! I'm starting to hate this game. There's no much fun to play cc. anymore. I think I've played this level at least 60-70 times and no way near ending it. I'm gonna delete cc.

Thanks so much for the check mark tick tip, after trying about 20 times I used your tip and passed first go ☺

Anonymous said...

Yes, check mark is the answer! Thank you for the tip but switching 2 colour bombs didn't work for me. I switched a colour bomb with a wrap, went really slowly and the chocolate ate a couple of the keys. Wraps helped to grow a couple of the popcorns which I then used to control the bombs. Having the check marks create popcorns in the lower half of the board was so much easier to manage. Nanny Annie

Tara said...

Same here from today on android. I'm pi$$ed as there's no way to reset the game to get sprinkles paired up with anything now.

This is a game ender for me. Part of the fun is planning your opening move. Without that, I quit and I won’t be alone.

I am still able to reset to get boosters where I want them, also have found if I turn off WiFi and mobile data I don't lose magic helmet or space dash. Still not passed this level though!

Has king gone in and lowered the moves on earlier levels?? Like 78 -- i play for sugar drops. Now it's 13 moves??

Michelle said...

Stuck for a week
Ready to say enough .. Not fun anymore

HFP said...

I tried the check and it didn’t work for me. I think one needs the lucky board and a check.

Anonymous said...

This is it for me! Ridiculous and so boring and the fun part is gone. I am done with cc and feeling great!

sveineriknersveen said...

This was really a hard level but after about 35 try I get the lucky ones and I have no morts helm or ufo or extra moves. Finished with one mov left,puuhh. Good luck. 3711 was great gift from CC.

Julesrn said...

The check mark is the way to pass!! After 2 days on this level, I passed on the second try with the check mark. Great tip!!

Candy Chrush is no fun anymore. Many of the games.lately do not require skill. They simply require luck which is not fun.. After playing this particular game for ten days I am going to stop playing. It is sad after getting to this level of candy crush to be so frustrated with this type of pure luck, no skill games

Anonymous said...

Candy crush 3716 is no fun . There is no skill. Just pure luck. I have been playing this particular game for over a week. There is no sense in playing these stupid games that are occurring more frequently. I am giving up on playing cc because the challenge is not skill but pure luck and endurance. I have enjoyed playing cc but recently there are too many that are boring. I am switching to crosswords and FreeCell

I’ve been playing Level 3716 for the better part of a week. I’ve gone in with 3 spaceships, 5 spaceships, including the check mark, stripe/wrap, and color-bomb. It’s impossible. And frustrating. What’s the point in creating a level that depends solely on luck? Once I got it down to 2 popcorns. Generally, by the time the game is over, I still need to grow the 4 popcorns.

Persistence has paid off - finally beat this level with no boosters. Glad to be past!

Got this first try (don't hate me!) but I had boosters (first level spaceship, some from the beanstalk, watched a video ad) and I added a sprinkle and a check mark. Thanks for the hint.

Laura said...

Check mark worked great. I did have to use one hammer to finish the last popcorn because of the bombs.

yshuummu said...

This game sucks!!!! Its rigged to take your money! That is all this game is good for! No skill! Luck only for the rest of the way! Do yourself a favor stop playing because this game because will just piss you off! You wont be able to pass until you give money or king decides to give a lucky board!

Shari said...

Omg I hate those bombs!!! Every level worse than the one before. Come on cc ease up for a few levels!

Martinat said...

Horrible level

Unknown said...

Here it is shown 27 moves while i am getting only 16 moves,it is impossible to complete level in 16 moves

Andrew Nonymous said...

It eats the keys. It. EATS. The. Goddamned. Keys.

This is a good example of why King sucks.
Who in the hell approved these levels?

Mar said...

I need a lucky board for sure. By the time I get the keys, I’m already out of moves!
