Candy Crush Saga Level 3979 Tips and video

Hints and tips showing how to pass level 3979 Candy Crush Saga without boosters by Cookie
Level 3979 is a dual task level, you have to collect one cherry and clear all the jelly to complete the level. Once again you will be forced to use boosters to complete this level as it is impossible to clear it in the moves available at the time of writing.
The first thing you need to do is fire a stripe into the chocolate to clear some and hopefully uncover the frog, then pray that some more of the chocolate is cleared by the cascades. Then grow the frog any way you can and use it to collect the key on the right. The key will unlock the left side of the board so you can start to clear the jelly. The cherry needs to move down into the bottom right section so this means clearing the remaining blockers that are holding it back.
Once the blockers are cleared the cherry can drop down into the bottom right, then across to the bottom left and finally up to the top right and out of the exits.
All the time you are getting the cherry to the exits you have to be clearing the jelly and with only 19 moves there is very little chance of doing all this with the increased thickness of the blockers.
A double colourbomb combo at any time may go some way to clearing the level but unless you have a lot of luck or a full space dash (if you have it) there is little chance of getting that combo.

The video below by Johnny Crush is the original board with 30 moves and less layers on the blockers, but it does show the path of the cherry.

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.

If we are forced to use boosters then te best way forward is to hit the key with a hammer early and the board will open up...

Why won't king design levels to use boosters? Look at the video, 800+ lollipops and hand swap, 80+ ufo!

Francisco Diego said...

Could it do only with 2 UFOS. Fu...

Dee said...

Hit the frog 7 times. Never got frogtastic! Hit it 10 times. Same results. Something is definitely ceros f!

Dee said...

wrong!

LynnKaiser07 said...

Deep, for some reason the frog doesn't "light up" when it's ready to use. Try tapping on it and see if it works even if it doesn’t look like it's ready. Worked for me. Good luck!

Even the person writing the tips on how to complete these levels seems as fed up as we are.

Impossible à faire avec seulement 18 déplacements corrigez svp

Moves reduced! Impossible. So unfair!

Anonymous said...

What is the point of even trying with only 18 moves? And no, your stupid bow candies don't help one bit.

Like I said before, I would have quit the game a year ago if it weren’t for this blog. Thanks Cookie. Post your comment here. You will get lucky.

No luck yet. But by posting here I know I will get lucky soon.

Not doable without a lucky board

Anonymous said...

On the first move I hit the key with a Hammer, which really opened up the board. I finished with 3 stars and 14 moves left. Maybe just a lucky board but I believe that using the Hammer on the key saved a LOT of moves.

Unknown said...

Another impossible level. Time for a little break. I might try this again in 2019. Merry Xmas everyone. Xxx

Crazy stuff.

Why oh why do I continue?

Because I'm not a quitter!

^^ After post that I got the lucky board. Thanks to the person that said to hammer the key right away, it did it for me.

Glad to be moving on and Merry Christmas.

If it's not hard enough to beat you went and just made it harder.

Bun said...

The frog is totally inconsistent. Sometimes it gets fat and doesn't move...then voila he pulses. These games are too frustrating and rigged. Time to say screw it. I wanted to at least hit 4000 but this is too fucked up.

Bun said...

Posting again to share..Used a h as mmr on key 1st move. Opened the blue fog 4thmovw. Hour all blue cascades...No Frogtastic til last move. I call bullshit. Then won 15 moves and finished with 15 jellies left and the cherry. This is pure, total unadulterated bullshit. I'm done. Rigged...rigged...rigged.

Anonymous said...

Boring again and again. Can not even get the key. So thanks for playing goodbye

Anonymous said...

Well I can't count how many times I have played this level..I have broken into the bottom left a few times but always so many left to get...boosters all gone again...on old age pension can't afford to buy all the boosters needed to win now...have no space dash or anything...

Anonymous said...

the vdeo has 29 moves, the rest of us only 19. not fair KING

Good idea in theory... Except when you don't even HAVE a hammer left because every recent episode has been designed to require boosters, and I refuse to reward their scamming with money by buying boosters... What a joke this game has become!

Erick S said...

Had full space dash/bot/lucky letters, added fish booster, hit key right away with fish or double CB combo (I forget which), filled up frog twice, and then played cleanup on the last few jellies.

I feel terrible for anyone trying to complete these that don't get the free in game boosters. King should level the playing field across all platforms. Continued kudos to Cookie for giving us this blog, she gives great tips, curates the best available videos, and the comment section usually helps me on the tough levels. Good luck and happy crushing, everyone!

Erick S said...

Also, the frog may or may not pulsate when ready, that seems to have changed somewhat recently. As someone else commented, when you've filled it a few times, try to click on it and see if you can use it.

Mejane said...

Honestly........SERIOUSLY.........it’s all about THEM and MONEY. I actually used up a BUNCH of STUFF and STILL didn’t get thru. A HAMMER to unlock key didn’t even work. Twice. And used other stuff also. Been here a week! I honestly do not know why I play. I quit so many times and here I am🤪😬🤔

Marielle said...

Hate this one! Not at all funny ...just need a lucky board !!!

Suzie Meara said...

Just won half hour of unlimited lives than I get this level. Go figure!! Not getting anywhere on this level. Help please!

mateach said...

I came, I read, I used a hammer to get that key and I did it on the first try. Why don't I read these first instead of the struggle. Thanks CC friends!!

Lindy lou said...

This is the worst level so far. Been trying now for 3 days and must have tried about 100 times. A game is meant to be for fun.

Second time posting for lucky board please, getting no where on this level.

Pinky said...

HELP,........ 3rd time posting for lucky board, appreciate all the free boosters but l can’t finish this level.

wanda said...

Stuck, help please

Shari said...

Not near enough moves. No free spins, or boosters. You get nothing anymore but frustration. Its all about spending money now. You will get nothing
from me king.

Chillgirl said...

This level is total luck. King, at this level, do you think we want to play a total luck level? How about level we need to use some strategy and maybe a little luck—-not total luck ! I’m frustrated with grow the frog, hit the key, and hope something good happens! So, since I don’t need any brain power for this level, I’m hoping you’ll give me a lucky board, so I can move on !!!

Unknown said...

I passed on my first try after finding out how to make the frog jump.After playing all this time did not know you could tap the frog & move anywhere on the board. Jumped the frog on the key then started clearing.I had only 1 booster left & had to use it to clear the last jelly.

Why design a board that is impossible to clear without boosters
? All it does is p*iss people of and leave.
