Candy Crush Saga Level 5008 Tips and video

Hints and tips showing how to pass level 5008 Candy Crush Saga without boosters by Cookie
Level 5008 Candy Crush Saga is classified as a hard level so you can expect to lose a few lives before you manage to pass it. This is a jelly level with keys and cakes and at the time of writing it is not possible to pass without boosters.
You can't hit the cakes using stripe/wrap combos until you have unlocked and cleared the licorice surrounding them. To do this you need to clear some of the waffles so that the keys can drop from the dispenser at the top of the board. Alternatively you can hit the cake sections using a double colourbomb combo.
Double colourbomb combos are possibly the only way to complete level 5008, you will need at least one and if you can make a second one you will be well on the way to completing the level. 
Once the keys are collected you can begin to use normal combos to clear the licorice and finish off clearing the cakes. Once the cakes are cleared you won't get candies in the sections where they were, so you will need to continue making combos to clear the remaining jelly. At the time of writing there are no videos made without boosters so I will try to add one when it becomes available.

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 on our FB group and I will try to change it.

Indeed list a few lives; started with two colourbombs, but No succes. Up to 6000

Cammocat12 said...

Well, that took a bunch of boosters!!

Luís Bernardo said...

Use an hammer or a switch to make a double colourbomb. Otherwise it will be very difficult to complete this level. Tough.

Twins mom said...

Up to 6000???

Raangle5 said...

Colorbomb combo twice and still didn't make it. Need some help here. Posting for luck🍀

Twins mom said...

Yet again, another ridiculously HARD level,which you can spend days on and burn all your boosters!!

Tou52 said...

I've tried everything yesterday, with no luck at all.

So today, I'm....


Posting for luck.

I think that's what it takes to finish this very hard level...

Tou52 said...

Well I finally made it, but wasted a Flying saucer and ended up having to use my one and only party booster because I really don't want to spend all day on this hard level.

Good luck everybody :)

Erick S said...

This took me three attempts to pass - I didn't view the blog first, but found Cookie's tips and the video do point out what I figured out, and should help a lot. I had difficulty building the color bomb + color bomb combination, or may have passed sooner. I have used up almost every hammer and switch hand now, so any more levels like this will require me to pause and go back to build up those via sugar drops, mini games, free spins, and other such ways to add them to my stash. I was tiring of the level and used my last pinata to finish off the jelly that I wasn't going to reach in the top right corner with 1 move to spare. I couldn't bear struggling more with 1 hammer and 1 switch hand left, didn't see another way to pass. Good luck everyone, thank you for the tips, and happy crushing!

EL BEATLE said...

I am completely shocked that I passed this on the first attempt, in view of all the comments on here! I was convinced that I hadn't done it. However, as I was playing this on my mobile (cell) phone, I got the opportunity of 15 extra moves at the end - and still not enough! HOWEVER, I had won enough gold bars earlier , to use these and try for another spin. I managed to get another 15 moves!!! Even then, I only completed the level on my final turn.

Nice, when you finally manage to get 2 color bombs side by side they wind up exploding from the cascades. Cmon

Emsa8 said...

After 30 (not 3) attempts started with double CB (one timed, one via bot by playing level 606), used an ufo when the cakes were free (fortunately hit both cakes and many liquorices) and one hammer for the last piece of the second cake. Got finally luckily a wrap next a stripe by the dispenser, so this finished it with almost no move left.

Emsa8 said...

(finished the final jellies that are hidden underneath the cake)

Mezzanine said...

Posting for luck please. Can’t do this level

Netski said...

One of the problems is I suspect we are all playing different games. I can still build a bot using old easy levels (I use 3711) PROVIDED I NEVER HAVE AN INTERNET CONNECTION WHILST THE GAME IS OPEN. if I accidentally leave it on I immediately lose the boosters. It means I don’t get the daily booster but worth it. I can still re-set the board. My husband also playing on an iPad from the same IP address can’t. He loses lives each time. For this game after many failures I started with double cbs together then luckily made two more together fairly early on. ‘‘Tis luck my children, just luck.

Sana said...

🤣🤣

Agnes Power said...

Posting for luck and a lucky board please!!!!!!!

Lynn said...

I have tried everything, once again, with no luck! Curious if starting with 2 CBS would it knock out some of the cake slices. Going to try that now. Hopefully the locked licorice won’t block me. Ugh....Might as we’ll post for luck while I am here!

Crushmom7 said...

🙏🙏🙏🙏

Dee said...

Started w/1 fish booster. Able to make 2 CB combos and finished on 3rd try with 5 moves left. Fish boosters targeted cakes and that was big! Good luck.

Pati said...

thank you for all the good tips. I played several times with no luck what even was supposed to be a stash now I will ask King for to give Grandma friendly board, as always thank you

Fred said...

To pass levels you need to use all your boosters
And so what ?
How can you go further without boosters ?
It means to stop playing definitely
That’s it

MissyM said...

Wow, that many comments pretty much sums it up.

MissyM said...

This morning Didi gave me an hour of CB. Then I won an hour of Stripe/Wrap from the Beanstalk.
Twice I was able to start with combining 2 CB (which cleared bits of the cakes and a couple of licorice).
By the time I get the keys I usually have about 14 moves left. It's just not enough moves to clear the licorice surrounding the cakes.
The stripe dispensers are meager with what they dispense, and often the stripes are too close to the center to be of any use.
I haven't been able to make any additional CB as I've played.
By the time I'm out of moves I still need a lot of moves to be able to clear the board.

Ian said...

After 5 days stuck on 5006 come across another nightmare!! Again made to hard so king wNt you to buy moves!!! Time to quit!!

Scotty said...

Don’t waste your time trying to clear the cakes as only a double color bomb will hit them until you get all the keys. Keep hitting the waffles and the keys drop quite quickly. It’s hard to plan moves as cascades explode all strategy. If you have a fish booster it helps clear the cakes. I started out with a double color bomb and a fish booster and finished with two moves left. Good luck and be patient.

Michelle said...

Omg this level is impossible..playing for 5 days now and can't get it..posting for luck ugh..if I dont get it in the next day I'm done lol

Anonymous said...

Frustrating level....waiting for a lucky board :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-(

Danielle said...

So far after two days no luck....even winning an hour of color bombs.....Not even close....used my fish booster....no luck either

Unknown said...

This level is ridiculous. By the time you collect the keys there are no moves left to break the cakes. Really? Was adding licorice around them necessary when it's already impossible to do. Do you guys ever play your own levels. Do you like playing the same level hundreds of times. Good God give us back the ability to make boosters. The timed ones are bullshit.

TweetNC said...

Wow, ridiculous is right! A lucky board is the only way.

RIDICULOUS... POSTING FOR LUCK YET AGAIN

Posting for luck and a massive amount of double colour bombs

Nay said...

Day 3 and not even getting close with no boosters. Hoping for that lucky board soon!

Lymbo said...

Have managed 2 double colour bomb combos twice and still not passing this one! They are only really useful after you have collected all the keys and unlocked the liquorice

Fraggy said...

Thanks to the free lives, I’ve been able to have over 100 goes on this. Only once have I had a double colour bomb which, on its own, isn’t enough. Without a kind gift of luck, I will be here a very long time. Please help 🍀🍀🍀🍀.

Fraggy said...

Just to let you know that I am not yet in receipt of my lucky board. Please would you chase this up, thankyou.

Cpaturing Life's Moments said...

wow this is hard

Cpaturing Life's Moments said...

I just can't get this one for nothing.

Sue said...

Agreed still no way and the last key drops with very few moves left

Sue said...

No more Obie’s mom

Sue said...

lol me too.

Sue said...

Alas no boosters and can’t even view video.

Sue said...

Video is also BS cuz u can’t clear cakes without getting ALL keys which crush jack seems to do.

Sue said...

Video a joke. Come on CC nothing works. Last key falls with very few moves left then u need to clear licorice one at a time before hitting any cake pieces!! Even I am frustrated with these current levels where you need to play dozens of times even with unlimited lives gets boring. Little help here. Program the computer to make more strategy levels and less those that go nowhere. Or come up with a new idea for gods sake. PS thanks for all the lives but geeze make it doable!!!!!

Jaybee said...

I really like to give up on this level. Been here for almost a week & have used all my boosters. Even though I had several double color bombs but it still didn’t work.
Couldn’t hit the cake because of the licorice blocking it.
I need help! PLEASE SEND A LUCKY BOARD!
Coz I’m getting bored now...I have no more boosters left.
Thanks!

Deb V. said...

Posting for luck, boosters gone!

Deb V. said...

HELP PLEASE,

Mas said...

What a joke...24 hrs unlimited lives...just means playing same impossible level over and over.All levels should be passable without needing boosters as we don't get many boosters now. Time to give CC away

Gibberleigh said...

This is insane

Player said...

75 comments...that says it all. Is it possible for a level to be more impossible than impossible? Yea it is...this one certainly is. I uaed a fish that was a little bit helpful. But i ran out of moves and only got 2 left. So i dont gonna waste more boosters in this level. Because it is getting harder and harder to collect boosters. And all the levels are freakin impossible. So tell me king...how does a player has to pass levels besides waiting forever for you to give a pass????!!

Player said...

65 attempts already. I quit for today. Hopefully i can pass after 250 or 300 attempts. Because this is the way it is going to be. Why making it so difficult and impossible? I can hardly remember that cc was fun to play.....this is getting pretty ridiculous..

Player said...

Yes...i made it! I finally passed 100 attempts...110 to be exactly. And still not 1 chance to pass. They always say you can pass without boosters. But that isnt true unless king gives you a pass. Just give me 20 fish or more. Maybe i can pass. This sucks major.

Unknown said...

In my opinion, this is the hardest level I’ve played. Yes, there were other levels that were insanely difficult, but this one seems impossible. Not nearly enough moves left after you’re able to finally collect all of the keys.

Fred said...

It's becoming a game of attrition. Looks like I'll be here for a while waiting for the lucky board.

Fred said...

...And six tries later, the lucky board showed up. With help from all the boosters, and one hand switch......I'm through.

grama V said...

Posting for luck 🍀🍀🍀🍀Help!

Shunga said...

Okay it says expect to lose lives! How about losing days and times to try to pass this asinine level! I have used boosters galore, double choc. Bombs together and still not even close! I hate this level. Help!

Fedupandbored said...

Another level where I feel conned. Six hours of free play and not one level passed AGAIN. The same thing happened last week. Only today, when my six hours ended, I was left with ONE square to clear and it cost me 1.99 to clear it. I got given 25 moves to clear it in and I only used one. What a total con. Just to let you all know also, the next level is just as tricky !!!!

Laura said...

I'm having no problem collecting the keys and making quite a few stripe/wrap combos and CB combos (not double CB'S, though). I haven't been able to clear either cake so I think I will be here for awhile.

Laura said...

I think this level was designed to get us to use our bounty from passing 5000. I didn't want to be stuck here forever so I used a hammer to finish the last piece of each cake. Then, with four moves left. I used a precious UFO which allows me to get past this ridiculous level. I would have enjoyed it before King eliminated a lot of what made the game fun. I could quit anytime now and not look back.

Gillieanne said...

Are you for real! You are completely extracting the urine. Expect to lose a few lives! Expect to lose a lot of time!.such a boring level ffs

Anônimo said...

Nível impossível sem boosters. Então é o final do CC para mim, porque não tenho boosters. Não vou perder meu tempo aqui com este jogo manipulado e fraudulento.

Anônimo said...

Mais de dez dias neste nível sem sucesso. Realmente não consigo entender qual o objetivo do CC. Se é afastar os jogadores, parabéns estão conseguindo. Estou saindo fora deste jogo ridículo.

Used the fish. Done👍🏻

Sue T said...

Lucky board needed

Icooper said...

Pfl. I've tried tried tried but no luck!

Mandy said...

Agreed, miracle board needed. I got the double color bomb but did not use until the keys unlocked the licorice. Then used the CB/CB to clear the licorice and some of the pies. Miraculously I also got a CB/stripe combo that knocked out both pies at the same time. The third miracle was a stripe/wrap combo under the remaining jelly and I was done with moves to spare. Guess I'll go buy a lottery ticket today!

Jo said...

This one has got me beat, really need some luck

Janet said...

This one is truly impossible. I’m not posting for a lucky board, I need a miracle board please. 🙏🏼

bonita said...

IF Cookie, J Crush & kazuohk can't win without Boosters :what are average players supposed to do??? I DO KNOW --BUY boosters & moves from Greedy Prick King. The devil spawn techies made it ridiculously impossible to win without using/buying moves & boosters----not a fair fight,, burn in hell nerds.
I will be here until I pay for 30 extra moves--NOT fair or fun.
Please super lucky board
thanks

bonita said...

TOTALLY impossible without numerous boosters---CC King is playing dirty.
Buy boosters or stay at this level until Death.
Lucky Board with about 50 moves & I may pass.

Marwanjo said...

To collect free boosters every day is better than to play cc idiotic and unfair game off cc and kingsize games. They lost all interest in a fair game. My advice, look at other games!!!

Marwanjo said...

Again and again and again pfff waisting time by the CC and kingsize game and the cc bullshitt game. Back to normal life, back to better fair games than the unfair levels and game cc.👎👎👎

Marwanjo said...

The only way to get a level of CC is waiting for a lucky board! Using boosters or buying, don’t do that, won’t even help you. CC is not a fair game, so keep you money in your pocket and play better games than this one!

Marwanjo said...

The fact is : only comments in 2019 and 2020. So iT is all old news. Nothing changed After. Conclusion totaly fake game.

Unknown said...

Seems nothing is heling, so I"m hoping having read these will.

BottaBingBottaBoom said...

Never had to use any boosters and after about 12 tries on yet another frustrating level I finally passed. I did have some fish activated but they only appeared once and never did me any good. I was down 9 moves left and since that was the lowest I had gotten, (I always ended this level with 30-35 moves left before having to retry) I didn't want to take the chance of not getting there again and as we all know CC knows this so that’s how they rope you into spending the dough. I luckily had some gold bars stored up therefore I used the 10 bars for 7 extra moves. I knew that would do the trick. Bingo! Zero boosters as mentioned other than having to use gold for few extra moves. Just glad another hellish level is behind me. Screw this game of causing one to feel completely bankrupt! Ha! Cheers…here’s to the next level of complete frustration and chaos and I am guaranteed another fantastic experience. 😏

What is the point in making these levels literally undoable, even with boosters a lot of times 🤷‍♀️. Been on this two days now, bought time, boosters and gold bars. Done!
