Candy Crush Saga Level 5538 Tips and video

Hints and tips showing how to pass level 5538 Candy Crush Saga without boosters by Cookie Since the developers are releasing 45 or more levels each week I will not be able to write tips for every level. By now you should be expert at most challenges. I will post videos for every level and write tips where I think they are needed but otherwise please feel free to give your tips in the comments.
Tips: Level 5538 is classified as a nightmarishly hard level so you may lose some lives before you manage to pass it. This is a jelly level and there is jelly over the whole board so everything has to be cleared to complete the level. Concentrate on clearing the cakes in the bottom section of the board. This will help clear a lot of the jelly and also grow the two licorice shells/popcorns. The fish from the two floats will help a lot as they usually target the cakes and later the bombs. Try to hit the floats with combos when you can to get more fish. The stripes from the dispensers can be switched to gether to hit the floats. You won't get candies dropping into the bottom section apart from bombs, but these will still be helpful for clearing the jelly if you can make a colourbomb combo.

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.

A very frustrating level I keep getting one left and I have no hammers.

If you can start with double color bombs, it will definitely help clearing the cakes. But don’t rely on the fish to get the bombs....in my games they would hit everything else but the bobs. Even when I only had a single bomb left, the fish would hit empty spaces..and just leave the bomb to explode. I don’t have boosters, but if I did I would have smacked that darn bomb with a hammer.

Is this level even possible any more? I don't have the gumball machine at the top that releases eggs and down below, where the popcorn would be, are black squares with a swirl (same concept so not as concerned by this). I can sometimes get the cakes to clear, but it's the jelly underneath I can't get in the amount of time. Fish only go after the licorice. This is the same on the app and on my PC (through FB)

Di said...

How do the jelly on the bottom get cleared? There aren’t any colors to match.

PFL, insanely boring and frustrating

Decotini said...

I have come very close to finishing, but refuse to spend any more $$$ at the moment to complete.
HOWEVER - has anyone else noticed this issue with the pies: This has happened TWICE to me now on this level. When the fish go to bite the pie, they actually put pieces of pie BACK on the pie. In other words, I had a pie with a piece gone, the fish came over, and when it bit, I had a whole pie again. What is up with that? So rude!
Anyway, I'll get it. The best luck is for 2 colorbombs, but even with that, I've come very close, but no luck.

Evelyn said...

Nightmare! Yes! Help!

Fordy said...

Scam. 2 UFO’s didn’t hit the last candies!!! Fucking scam this now… only if you spend money or they want you to pass. Joke!!!

Squawk said...

I've been on this game for 8 days now, several times a day using pc, laptop, and phone, and I can't get anywhere near clearing the board. I keep waiting for the lucky board, but it doesn't come. So frustrating.

O nível anterior foi terrível, demorou dias para concluir, agora este nível é impossível. Qual a intenção do CC?? Afastar os jogadores?? Parabéns, estão conseguindo. Existem jogos melhores e inteligentes. Não preciso deste jogo para viver, mas eles precisam dos jogadores para continuar existindo, pensem nisto!

Claire said...

@Deconti YES, RHE DAMN FISH RESTORES THE PIE PIECES!!!!! WTAF?

Unknown said...

Only getting 15 moves? Should be 26 right?

Annomous said...

This game is completely different to the one you are showing. Nevertheless, important to pass with only 15 moves. Another impossible game I have been stuck on for 9days. LUCKY BOARD PLEASE, LUCKY BOARD PLEASE. I cannot see how to get through this game without a LUCKY BOARD.

Linda Maitan said...

I have 15 moves
And need 4 times targets
My board is different

Unknown said...

I have been stuck on this level for 5 days I'm over it...candy crush use to be fine now it's a headache 😫 🙃

Joosy said...

Completely different board now. Only 15 moves and only one cake in the top part. No conveyor. Have to use stripes to get the jellies in the bottom section. Ridiculous with the limited amount of moves.

JAX. said...

Posting for luck please. Terrible time with this one. 🙏🕉️

Annonymous said...

Completely different game! Not sure why they do that, but this seems impossible! Posting for luck!

Ellen said...

Onmogelijk level, kom niet eens in de buurt, zonder geluk en hulp kom je hier nooit doorheen

Genevieve DuTrieux said...

Unknown said...

Pinky said...

Posting for lucky board please, getting nowhere !!!!!!

Kaba said...

Different board and only 15 moves is fucken impossible posting for a lucky board coz that’s the only way to get passed this stupid level arghhhh

Julie joel said...

This is the most ridiculous board it's nightmarishly but only 15 moves, lol are you having a big laugh, this game is getting worse every day I play, please give me some more moves. I get loads of moves sometimes for an easy level but this level is rubbish time to quit

Julie joel said...

This level is completely different I hate this game I'll never get through it's pathetic

Collenfan said...

Posting for luck again for this difficult level. Need a few more moves to complete this one.

Collenfan said...

Still here struggling with the extra difficult level. Posting for luck again for help to pass this one.

DD said...

Seriously? Even if you manage to clear the cake (which seems impossible) you will not get through the two layers of jelly at the bottom of the board...and 15 moves? come on!

Catgirl said...

The lucky board didn’t come. With 15 moves simply not enough can be done without purchasing gold bars for extra moves, so ok king you won, i don’t want to ‘cheat’ by purchasing so i’m outta here, sad to go but it’s bye not buy 🤷🏻‍♀️😞.

Marwanjo said...

Go on CC with levels nightmare with a few moves. You won’t win this cause it’s your strategy to force players to buy. Not my strategy. Strange to notice that most players say goodbye CC.

Marwanjo said...

8 terrible levels from this levels. I am DONE!!! Don’t even try it👍👍👍

Marwanjo said...

Nice try CC! Sorry for you I don’t believe in CC and in your impossible levels!👎👎👎

Marwanjo said...

Not enough moves to clear this level and the seven levels next. Buying is not an option. Took me years, not an option to get on playing.

Marwanjo said...

Seems that I never get this level. 14 moves is impossible and I can’t BUY. Only option is to play other games.

Marwanjo said...

CC is the only game which force players to buy. They make levels impossible with a few moves to destroy 70 or hundred jelly.

Marwanjo said...

As long as cc has all strategy in all difficult levels, there will no any room for players to get this or any levels afterwards to get it. For cc count one thing. Buy, buy.buy! NO THANKS! I don’t have money to spent. That’s why I am focus on other games.

Marwanjo said...

It’s unfair that CC promote a game that only players who can buy get the levels. It’s a shame 👎

Marwanjo said...

I can’t stand behind CC anymore. Time to leave. It’s a game CC you can’t exclude players who don’t buy!! That’s discrimination!!!

Marwanjo said...

Seems to pass 7 nightmare levels you have to buy a lot of extra boosters or moves. How about players who can’t buy???? Seems they look for another, not king, game.
