This blog is now complete, I will not be doing any more tips or videos after level 10,000.
I will be working on lower levels that have been changed to make them more relevant for newer players who need help.
Thank you all for supporting the blog and the FB group. I may post links to relevant videos but can't guarantee to be able to do this. The FB group is still open and members can often help if you have problems.
You are welcome to post any tips you have for future levels in the comments of this page, however please keep the comments to tips, any irrelevant comments will be deleted.
UPDATE
I am working on a few levels which I know have changed or hard levels that I can manage to do and I will post links here when I do them. Here are the first few.
10003 - 10007 - 10112 - 10141 - 10150 - 10408 - 10414 - 10427 - 10628 - 10642 - 10852 - 10874 - 10888 - 12175 - 13938

10511, difficult, need help please
10513 need help please
Impossible level 10513, Need lots of help
So, haven't seen any posts from the "old guard" players like Luis and Rick in over a month. Currently up to level 15877 - down to 12500 GBs (down from over 30K before I hit level 14000). Only comment is I've noticed ALMOST ALWAYS after a nightmare/legacy/super hard level, the one after it is ALMOST ALWAYS super simple. I basically start all levels with full bot (lost it once when I hit an "OOPS" where couldn't make a move with all the boosters) and then add the kitchen sink (CB, stripe/wrap, coconut/check/fish) for the nightmare/legacy levels (although a few are beatable without extra moves but that's rare). For normal levels, I add just a CB (the CB/CB combo really helps getting started on the 15K levels), if there's a coconut wheel, I always use that, then for hard/super I add CB and stripe/wrap combo. The CRs are almost always useless (e.g. beat 15 levels to win share of 500 GBs and get at most 20 GBs). The contests where you have to win 500 green candies are nice (play level 11000) to get 3 UFOs and hammers/switches. Anyway, if people need help on a 15K level, I'll check here occasionally and offer suggestions.
Congrats Mike for your excellent job. I’m still here but far behind you. I completed #15470 yesterday. I follow a strategy similar to yours but I play only once or twice a week. I have only 1200 bars and I’m trying to use them very carefully. In my case # 16000 is almost impossible to reach. Good luck everyone 🍀
Not crazy about 10012
10637 need help pls
I just finished the last of an episode, but I got no gold bars. How can this be fixed?
Pat, I never had that happen when I won an episode race BUT a couple of times recently, when I started an episode it weirdly didn't trigger an episode race. It just never showed up. No episode race = no gold bars to win. No idea how to fix it. It seemed to be a fluke. Both times, the next episodes I started, the episode races automatically showed up like they always had.
10647 Impossible need help pls
Hello CC
Cc level 14182
3 hours/day and 8 days seems impossible to close this level
So it’s time to give up
Bye bye
Level 14182 is impossible without booster
I saw the videos
Level is close with boosters and I don’t have boosters
So ….no way for me
10698 absolutely impossible, need help now, please
Made it to 16000 finally - yeah! 16015 is "hellish" - Needed PB plus 41 GBs. The fun never ends :-)
I still limp along with my Facebook version - just ran into another bot-buster at 15050 where starting with the extra boosters leads to an "OOPS" so back to the beginning. I wound winning a few of these contests with getting large number of green/purple/blue/etc. candies and getting couple of UFO boosters so that was helpful. 15863 is good for all 3 colors and you get 300 or more each time.
I also found using 14603 in the chocolate box when you need gummy bears is good (hard to win the level but easy to get 10 or more each time.
13000 is my goto level for blue/red, 12000 for CBs and reds, 11000 for fish and wraps. 14000 for stripes.
Good luck to all - sorry to see Fred give up but totally understand - been where you were, came back after building up boosters with the daily treat and booster wheel and some of these daily contests where you can win UFOs.
11572 is impossible lucky board please
The Beat the Buffet game shows up on my device, but my score never register. I remain at zero. What do I need to do? There is no connection issue.
Pat, are you winning new levels during the time period? It's not specified in the pop-up but Beat the Buffet only counts candies from new levels, not old ones.
Thanks, Mariann. I was doing old levels since new levels come out on Wednesday.
10737, please give me some help

Levels with keys …. What is going on? 11601, the orange keys seem only to match with yellows candies 🙄
Rainbowgirl, I recently noticed that on one of my devices (a tablet), the key colors are darker than the candy colors. The blue keys are navy blur and the green keys are a deep forest green. I was having trouble matching because the yellow keys look more like orange and the orange keys look like red to me. At first, I thought it was my eyesight until I realized that ALL the key colors were darker. I don't think the darker key colors appear on all devices though.
10774, totally Impossible, need lucky board pls

Lucky board granted next turn, thank you
Congrats Mike for reaching 16000. You are now the undisputed leader of the pack. I was wondering how you are able to accumulate thousands of gold bars. I just have a few hundreds of them. i am inching along in 15231. I don’t think I have enough gold bars yet to reach 16000.
We went to Antarctica with my wife, son, and daughter two months ago. I think Buffalo is much colder than Antarctica. I am personally sensitive to cold but feel only the cold there when the driver drove the zodiac faster. Anyway, it is summer there now. Being in the Southern hemisphere, the weather there is opposite of that in the northern hemisphere where we are.

Thanks CC :):):)
Rick - yes, my banner does say 16000 now. I'm up to 16635 but down to less than 6k gold bars (started 15000 with around 30K). The levels now are just insane - down so low on hands and hammers that I need to play the sweet cinema a number of times just to get 2-3 each to play these episodes. Even with full bot and every possible booster - plus a UFO from the 6 day - need to buy multiple sets of extra moves to complete. Now the Candy Royale goes up to 24 levels - sometimes they only yield 15-20 GBs but once in a while 3-500. Problem is you may have to spend couple hundred to get there. Only other observation I have is "usually" the levels following the nightmare/legendary are super simple but every so often they throw in impossible ones which are marked "Normal" so you have to watch the videos (which are less and less helpful as they always started with using hands to get the 2 CBs together - and then still need to use a Party booster to win). Fun no longer applies to CC.
Wow, Mike, you are more than half way to 17000. I am still inching along at 15381. I am still wondering how you were able to accumulate those 15k of gold bars. At least I have been able to increase my gold bar count to over a thousand for a long time now after extending my Episode Race winning streak to 19. (Getting additional 5 gold bars by watching 2 ads after winning an episode race also helped. Candy Royale also helps but it does not always show up when you really need it.
Rick
Hello
Have no solution for level 12242
Need more moves as videos shows
One month on this level is a joke
So gonna stop Candy
Bye bye
Good luck to everyone
I made it to 15501, halfway to 16000 and increase my gold bars count to 1463. However my hands and hammers are just down to 2 each, so I have to increase their count first before continuing.
Beware of 15504. There is an order of 30 fish and It snapped my first try winning streak of almost 200 levels. I wasted about 400 gold bars buying hands and hammers to make the fish fall down but it did not fall. The fish comes from check candy that you have to hit again to become fish but they don’t always do. If you have a color bomb, you can switch it with a fish and that will help because all the candies with that color will turn into fish.
I have to replay it (there goes my first try winning streak) using a fish booster and luckily I was able to complete it the second time. It’s good thing I recovered some of my gold bars from Candy Royale where I got 167 gold bars. Even then my gold bar count went down to 1220.
I just finished #15950 playing only on “Candy royal days”. Very tough but I think I have now enough bars to achieve #16000. Beware of level 15919 and save an UFO to clear the last licorice. Hammers or even PB are not appropriate because licorice drops continuously and don’t allow to clear the jelly. Good luck everyone
Sorry, I meant level 15505, not 15504. To add to Luís tip on 15919, what I do in those situation is switch the licorice with a regular candy and hammer it to clear the jelly, The licorice protects the jelly and will continue to fall to protect the jelly, so that switching trick will help to clear the jelly.
Thanks,Luís for the tip, I’ll note it when I get there.
Sorry again for the confusion. I checked and It was actually 15504.
I also use that tactic Rick. The problem here is that there are a few more licorice in the adjacent cells and so if you need to clear 3 jellies and there are 3 or 4 more licorice in the adjacent cells you will need a lot of hands. I think it’s less expensive to use an UFO but of course it depends on the kind of boosters you have. Good luck
Yes, Luís, I agree with you. It depends. 3 hands and 1 UFO each cost 19 gold bars. However, you can earn hands with the Sweet Cinema. To earn one UFO, you have to win a Weekly Contest.
12136 is a very ****** level, help please or lucky board
11651 hard level, need help pls
11655 boring level, will soon give up, need luck pls
Time to celebrate. I completed level 16000 with more than 1800 bars left and playing only on “candy royal days”.
Good luck everyone 🍀
CONGRATULATIONS LUIS!!! WooHoo! I stopped playing CC for a couple of months after growing frustrated with the candy royals. I kept getting CRs that required 21 levels with a promise of a share of 1400 GBs. Sounded good but after passing the levels (and using lots of GBs to do so), I'd only get a share of 500, usually just 20 or so. I tried again after you mentioned the CRs had gotten better and sure enough, they have. So, like you, I'm back to playing on candy royal days. I'm at 15,831 with 2500 GBs so I'll eventually get to 16,000 ... as long as CC doesn't screw with me again and force me to take another break.
11746, very hard level, need luck pls
11746 Totally Impossible without help.
GO Mariann Go. Your bars are more than enough to reach #16000. I confirm that CR is now a very good help. Good luck everyone 🍀
How do I access candy royal? I play on my kindle, and that event does not show up.
Where is Candy Royal? It does not appear on my device.
Unlike what I’m reading from most of you, I NEVER win Candy Royale because I need the extra moves (up to 120!) that I can get by playing a hard level over and over and over …. So the idea that I’d win 20+ levels in a row on my first try is laughable. But I’m happy to hear that it works for some of you! If CCS took away my ability to get extra moves I’d have to leave the game. I’m currently on level 15741. Good luck to all!
Hi Electra, don’t give up yet. I am also at 15471 but will continue. You are very close to 16000.
To Mariann, you should be able to join the 16000 club. Note Luis tip on level 15919. I looked at the video and it is a very hard level indeed. I have I increased my GB count now to over 1700. I might be able to join the club too. I would like to follow Luis strategy of playing only on Candy Royale days, but it shows only about once in 4 days or more. So, It might take me 2 to 3 months to join the club.
Did you notice that Candy Crush is getting stingy? Now the Daily Treat Machine does not give anymore hands or Lollies, just timed color bomb booster or timed llife.
I meant 15741, not 15471.,
Hello CC
Cc level 14245
Have only 32 moves as videos shows 37 and this is no fare
I played on this level since 3 weeks
So posting for a lucky board
Thanks CC :):):)
More 270 bars with CR but I needed to complete 2 episodes. Tough but in my opinion not so hard like the last episodes before #16000.
To Rick: you are right. It’s a little bit boring to play only once each four days but I’m not fighting for being in the first row anymore and it’s only a game now. Today I played CC listening Arcade Fire in NOS Alive Festival at the same time. Amazing. Good luck everyone
For the first time, I won 500 gold bars from Candy Royale and increased my gold bar count to 2202. My chance of joining the 16000 club is getting better. I am now at 15786. Good luck everyone.
Hi Luis, Candy Royale showed up after 3 days only this time. It is worth waiting for it, though. Thanks for your tips.
I used to play on non-Candy Royale days for the Weekly Contest, but not anymore. The only worthy price on the Weekly Contest is a UFO which just costs 19 gold bars. You can easily get 19 gold bars and probably more in Candy Royale, so it makes sense not to pursue the Weekly Contest anymore.
What a day! I waited for Candy Royale but it showed on the usual 4th day and showed up late. I have to leave but finished the 8 levels to collect the 250 gold bars. I have to abandon the episode race although I am leading there. When I came home later after 2 hours, nobody has won the Episode Race yet and I was still leading. So I completed the episode and still won the Episode Race, giving me an extra 40 gold bars. I am now at 15801 with 2496 gold bars and getting closer to 16000. Good luck, everyone!
Greetings folks, been a while. Good to see Rick and Luis are back. I see you are both getting to 16000 - just passed it on my Facebook game yesterday. I will say as someone who's now on 16936 on my app, if you thought the 15K levels were crazy, the 16K ones are much worse. My gold bars have dwindled from 32K to just over 2K to get where I am. A "normal" level now is full bot, extra CB and wrap combo to start and then using the extra 3 moves and UFO to complete the level - I consider that a win! Nightmare/legendary levels are usually insane, requiring the kitchen sink to start (hopefully you get 2 CBs next to each other or you use a switch to get them there - also down to a few switches/hammers now) and then you buy at least 16 moves if not another 25 (to keep the bot). One new feature that's helping is "Don't feed the troll" - if you get 2500 orange candies in 40-45 minutes, you get a party booster and a UFO along with 45 minutes of CBs and wrap combos. I scroll down to level 11000 to get the orange candies. Candy Royales are up to 24 levels (which I spend gold bars to complete because I usually get most if not all of the GBs (so between 200 and 600 depending on how many CRs I can win in a row).
Anyway, 17000 might be my end - the 16K levels are so frustrating that the game is no longer fun. The 15K levels are hard but I've been limping along, up to around 1K Gbs and playing strategically. 16K levels are mostly brute force which eat GBs, UFOs and PBs mercilessly.
Good luck all!
Thanks Mike for the grim picture you gave on the road to 17000. However, my goal for the time being is just to reach 16000. When I reach my goal of 16000, I’ll just take it easy and go slow. I have no intention yet of getting to 17000. We’ll see.
Good luck Rick, I'm sure you'll get there.
Just ran into a bug on 16032 - endless loop (haven't seen one of these in a while) where green jellies drop out of the top left corner continuously looping.
Customer care kind of clueless on these type of problems - going to lose my bot streak plus was at the end of 24 level Candy Royale where I was going to win over 150 GBs. Some days the bear gets you :-(
I actually like playing Royal Match (which as Luis points out is much easier than CC - but it does have levels that you need extra moves for). It has a team feature where you compete in contests together for boosters and can chat (e.g. ask each other for cards) which makes little less like you against the world in CC (I will admit I have said some nasty 4-letter words and obscene gestures at my tablet playing 16K levels :-)
Mike, did mean level 17032, not 16032? I thought you have passed 16032 a long time ago.
I did not know you can communicate with your rivals on Candy Royale. Anyway, it’s like a race so I tried to complete each level as fast as I can to get more share of the gold bars.
Sorry Mike, I misread you. I thought you are taking about Candy Royale, not Royal Match.
I’ve just completed #16100 once I was “forced” to play 2 episodes to win 117 bars (😂😂😂) with CR. A perfect nightmare. I started all levels with a CB combo using hammers and switches and in spite of that I spent 8 PB! Good luck everyone.
Have they gotten rid of the Season Pass? That is the only way to get boosters. The challenges do not work for me. They are geared for new levels at a time I am at the end of episodes until the next Wednesday.
Being the 4th day, Candy Royale showed up as expected but I got 72 gold bars only this time. I say “only” because I got 870 from the last three Candy Royale days.
I got only 42 gold bars from Candy Royale this time plus 40 for winning the Episode Race. Luis, you are right. It is really boring to wait every 4 days to complete an episode but at least we get some gold bars for doing so. I am still 12 episode away from joining the 16000 club.
Pat, you are right. It looks like the Season Pass has been eliminated. I did not see it when I played the episode today. King is starting to eliminate our source of boosters so that we will have to buy them.
Thanks CC:):):):)
Hello CC
More than one week to trying close the level 14281
This level is really impossible with 22 moves
Too hard for me
So again posting for a lucky board but I’m no sure this will help
I see a lot of very difficult level is coming
Perhaps time to stop definitely
It was funny to play so many years
Thanks
Candy Royale showed up yesterday afternoon instead of this morning the 4th day, so I played it. I got 84 gold bars this time, double of what I got the last time, increasing my gold bar count to 2859. I am now at 15861.
Hey Pat, the Season Pass showed this time when I played the episode!
HELP FOR LEVEL 16540 IMMEDIATELY, STUCK FOR DAYS!!
Does anybody have a problem also of accessing his or her Event page? I haven’t accessed mine for about a week now,. I always get this message “Sweet Events Coming Soon” thing.
I fixed my missing Events page by following a tip to play an old level and quit. Sure enough, my Events page showed up.
Hey Luis, I passed 15919 on my first try. I bought 10 UFOs and used about 6 or 7 of them to pass it.
Someone posted that 10012 was impossible with only 20 moves.... Well now it's 17 moves, so how will that work?
I completed the Season Pass and collected all the prices that come with it including the UFO without playing a new level. I discovered level 14723 which is very easy and can be complete in 5 to 7 moves. The level is high enough that I don’t have to do a lot of scrolling.
Hello CC
Level 14318 is impossible to close for me
Sorry !!
Can’t find solution without boosters
Gonna try perhaps later
So I finally made it to level 17000 on my Android tablet. No surprise, many of the 17K levels are worse than the 16K ones (wasn't sure that was possible :-). My gold bars are dwindling, down to 700 or so, so the end is in sight. My Facebook/web account is basically done - made it to 16201 where I have effectively died. No gold bars or UFOs or PBs and a level from hell. I use level 15683 to get the 3 colors (blue/green/purple) and easy level to complete and 14603 for gummy bars and orange and gummy bars (hard to complete but works for the 4 task box), 16000 good for reds and sometimes wraps, 15000 for CBs, have to go down to 13000 for fish. My only advice for the 16K levels is plan the rewards from the 6 day for a blitz for Candy Royale - 5 minute PB and 20 minute UFO gives you shot.
I made it thru 16010 and join the 16000 club. Being a Candy Royale day, I intended to play. I started at level 15996, but Candy Royale spans 2 episodes, so I was forced to play it. I gained 167 gold bars from Candy Royale and 80 GB for winning 2 episodes. However, I still had a net loss of about 100 gold bars. I had to buy 10 UFOs and 23 hands. Levels 15997 and 16001 are hard levels and I almost used up all the UFOs I bought just to pass them. I ended up with 2883 gold bars.
Mike, has your banner been changed to 17000? I notice that my banner has been changed already to 16000 right away.
Well, the end of an era. I died on the hill that is level 17149. Fell one jelly short of completing the level with no in-game boosters left. No gold bars so there goes the crucial bot streak. Got lots of starting boosters (e.g. 1K+ CBs, 450 fish, etc.) but no UFOs, no PBs. Time to move on.
Rick - my banner did change to 17000. Congrats on joining the 16K club and all the extra stuff you've accumulated. I lived a little bit longer with the troll contest - getting a UFO and a PB helped but I had couple of "normal" levels where even a PB and a UFO weren't enough and spent bunch of GBs to complete - didn't accumulate enough hands and hammers from the cinema at the end and drained all my GBs to keep the bot. Oh well :-)
Good luck all you crushers.
Pls 12027 so hard, need help
I finally made it to 17000! Good luck all!
Oops! I mean I made it to 16000. Wishful thinking, I guess?
Congratulations Rick and Elektra for joining the #16000 club. Congrats Mikey for your fantastic job. I completed #16235 following my boring “CR strategy “ . Anyway, I still have around 3000 GB and a significative amount of boosters including 8000 wheels that I would like to negotiate with King because they are completely useless😩. Good luck everyone
HELP FOR LEVEL 16540. Been stuck for THREE weeks. No lucky board, no gold bars. They just want your money, mo n ey, mo n ey!! No fun in game anymore. I went searching for cheats and boy did I bleed that cheat dry until CC stopped it!! The only way to complete levels now is to cheat like CC do. It's not the answer but the satisfaction of motoring through new levels brought back memories of when we all started CC all those years ago, fun and easy!
HEEEEEELLLLLLPPPPP for Level 16540

I made I made it to 16100 so far and increase my gold bar count to 3177. In level 16096 which is classified as a Legendary Hard Level but I completed it on my first try, I give the following tip. First you have to “kill” the Sour Skull so that the frog ( you might have to hammer it several times) in the bottom row will be available, which you will have to grow to collect the 5-layered toffee swirl in the middle. You might have to use also several UFOs to clear the multi-layered frostings surrounding it. it to 16100 and increase my gold bar count to 3177.

Where is the episode race? Is that over, too?
I don't think CC is trying to fix the episode race. They are faking it. Most have lost 90 to 120 gold bars because of the problem. CC have the ability to fix the problem NOW if they want to. So, I am taking a break until it is fixed. No more episodes for me!
The episode race is back. However, my 90 plus gold bars which were lost were not restored!
12424 nightmare please send lucky board
Level 12430 you must be joking, no way to complete in the lives given lucky board please
Very bad news. Candy Royal disappeared. I’ve completed 16325 and I have 3500 bars but I think it will be not enough to reach #17000. Once my chocolate box is blocked since the middle of last year my only source of bars is now the episode race. Time to relax and wait for CR. Good luck everyone 🍀
10057 is a total & complete pain in the a$$.
Posting for luck.
This my be the the end for me.
Level 12439 is a joke, lucky board please
Luis,, earlier last week Candy Royal hadn't shown up for me for 7 days, even though I played old levels every day. But after I played a *new* level, there it was. Frustrating because it required 15 crowns and I only had 14 levels left in the episode so I had to play 2 episodes. Yuck. Appears to have been a temporary glitch because 4 or 5 days later, Candy Royal showed up on its own. Don't know if you want to take the risk of starting a new episode with the *hope* CR will show up. I know I was torn.
- [ ] Hey Luis, it seems that you are right. CC took away Candy Royale. It looks like it took away the Season Pass as well. I have said before that King monitors this blog and when somebody posts about a strategy that is beneficial to the players, King will take it away so that we will be compelled to buy gold bars instead of getting it free somewhere. I always believe that Activision overpays in acquiring Candy Crush so it has to do something to recoup its investment. Anyway, I will not use even a penny of my own money to play CC. I have about 4,000 gold bars but much farther to the 17000 than you are. I’ll see up to where my gold bars will carry me and quit for good once it is exhausted.
Candy Royale did show up, only much later on the day than expected. I got 140 gold bars.
Tks for your tips. Unfortunately King doesn’t like me😩😩. My CR didn’t show up in the last ten days. The good news is that I completed last episode spending only one UFO🙏
The Season Pass showed up as well this morning and I played level 14723 repeatedly until I got all the prizes including the UFO.
Level 12457 unbelievably ridiculous, not enough moves, lucky board please
Level 12475 ridiculously hard lucky board please
I got a surprise from King. Candy Royale showed up again this morning and I won’t 300 gold bars. What is surprising is that it showed up yesterday, too, when I won 100 gold bars. I am now on level 16400 with 4068 gold bars. The bad news is that King reduced the prize for episode winners to just 25 now from 35 before.
Not only have they reduced the episode race to 25, but they deleted the 6 daily win for boosters and timed boosters. Has anyone completed the blue challenge for 250 gold bars? I have made it to level six. You would have to spend 250 bars to win!
I got the Candy Royale again this morning for the 3rd consecutive day and I won 140 gold bars this time.
Pat, it does not look like it is worth playing the Top That blue candy game. I am on tier 17, and the prize I am looking at is only a timed 15 minutes of Stripe Painter booster. You can get its 250 gold bars top prize easier by playing Candy Royale instead. Besides, you have to play new levels only to make the blue candies count.
I got again Candy Royale for the 4th consecutive day this morning. I won only 89 gold bars but it helps. I am now on the top tier and has to keep on winning to stay on the top tier.
I got the Candy Royale again this morning for the 5th consecutive day and I won 150 gold bars this time. My gold count went down to 3236 because I have to buy extra moves and boosters along the way to complete levels, but more importantly, I am past halfway now at level 16506 to level 17000
How do I get candy royale?
I got the Candy Royale again this morning for the 6th consecutive day. I won 108 gold bars this time. My gold count went down further to 2999 because I have to buy boosters along the way to complete levels. I am now at level 16536 getting closer to level 17000.
Pat, you should have Candy Royale since it is available for everybody. Have you checked your event page?
I got the Candy Royale again this morning for the 7th consecutive day. I won 108 gold bars again this time. My gold count went down further to 2770 because I have to buy boosters along the way to complete levels. I am now at level 16566 getting even closer to 17000.
I made it to 16611. Levels starting from 16600 are very hard. Beware especially of level 16606. There is trap in the upper left hand cover. DON’T collect the blue keys in them by switching them, otherwise blue candies will indefinitely fall in that box and you will have to end it. I lost my top tier status in Candy Royale because of it. I lost also the chance of getting gold bars because I missed passing that level on my first try. I passed 16606 on my second try by leaving the licorice in the middle of that box. I collected the keys there by hammering them.
In 16600, I hammer the Sour skull 5 times to open the spaces held by it. In 16602 I used several UFOs to pass it.
Level 12576 impossible to complete in so few moves lucky board please
I made it to 16746. I agree with Mike that the levels in 16000 are somewhat more difficult. My gold bars have dwindled to 338 from about 4,000+ even though I played only on Candy Royale days because I spent more on boosters than what I earned from Candy Royale. However, if you don’t buy boosters, the levels are much harder to complete. I hope I have enough gold bars to get to 17000.
I got back to the top tier of Candy Royale but it takes it takes now 25 levels (about 2 episodes) to earn gold bars. I’m still 17 episodes away from 17000.
I made it to 16776 but my gold bars are down to just 54 now. The episodes I just played are littered with Legendary and Very Hard levels and most of them you have to use UFOs to complete them. It would interesting now if I can reach 17000 with just a few gold bars left but I will try.
So, I arose from the ashes, thanks to Don't Feed the Troll and the UFO and Party booster - I used level 11000 and sometimes 8238 to get the 2500 orange candies (easy in 45 minutes, once you scroll back that far). Now at level 17363 - they're now giving UFOs and extra moves watching the 3 adds which in most cases is enough. Also, the Super Charge CB (have to win 10 levels to get it) is nice complement to the bot boosters and I've won some CRs using that (lost it once when playing an older level to complete chocolate box - not sure this is supposed to work that way). Anyway, I've got about 175 GBs and a few UFO/Party boosters to help win episode races. Agree with Rick, in many cases, you spend more GBs than you win in a CR - but every so often, you get lucky and win more (even 500 once!).
One other quick comment - level 16205 is awesome for getting purple/blue/green and wraps. With some of the chocolate boxes needing 3-4K candies, this is fastest way I've found (15865 used to get my goto for these but 16205 is much better (and pretty easy to beat with all the wraps and fish that come out.
Level 12604 is ridiculous lucky board please
Thank you
Very far behind you. My CR is back but only once each four days. I agree. Levels are becoming more and more difficult. I just finished level 16505 which means I’m in the middle of my current goal and according to your posts I don’t know if it is achievable. Let’s be resilient. Good luck everyone 🍀
far behind
King has a new gimmick to make us watch ads to get boosters. It is called Treasure Hunt. I’m just letting you know that you will get nothing more than half of the time after watching the ad to set your expectations.
King is reducing everything. Now the Top Tier in Candy Royale is 700, before it was 1,500. I’m going to quit for good whether I reach 17000 or not.
HEY KING, if we players quit. Who will be watching your ads from your advertizers where you get a lot of money from by running their ads?
I think I’m done with Candy Crush. I am at level 16840, a Nightmarishly Hard-rated level without boosters nor gold bars. By the look of it, I need at least a couple of UFOs to clear or break down the multi-layered locked Toffee-Swirls in the upper right and lower left corners but I don’t have them nor the gold bars to buy them. So goodbye, CC.
In 10012…. Explain how we are supposed to clear 478 items with 17 moves??
I was wondering how long the troll would last. Now I know. It has begun to unwind already. OK for Friday and Saturday. No show today. Help!
I was able to pass 16840 when King gave me a timed UFO. Now I am stuck at 16846, another Legendary Hard level. This could be the end for me for sure.
Rick - I went back and played 16846 and all I can say is "Good Luck!". The only hope I can offer is if you get don't feed the Troll and you get the party booster and UFO. I just got lucky board to beat 16492 on my FB version (where I have no gold bars and no in-game boosters). The Season Pass is ok but all you can get is UFO after 10 levels. Can't get the Super CB without winning 10 levels and the daily one you need to win 6 days. On my Android tablet, just got past 17499 - at least there I have my bot and some gold bars (up to 77 from a chocolate box and episode win). Big come down from the days when I had 30K gold bars!
Posting for luck on 10291been here a while.
Found one good thing for those folks playing the troll contest. Level 16508 is great for orange (as well as yellow and purple candies). 16205 works well for purple, green and blue. Saves scrolling back to levels like 12000, 11000 and (I think) 8638 for these contests (my hands get tired!).
10339 total & complete pain in the a$$. Don't know how I'll get thru this one, may me end of the line for me.
Done thru #16700 keeping my “conservative CR approach “, which means 3 episodes per week 😩. The good news is that I have now around 6300 bars and hope they are enough to reach my objective, level 17000. Good luck everyone 🍀
Hey Mike, I was able to pass 16846. I am now at 16866. I also increased my gold bars from 6 to 59 through Candy Royale. I doubt though that my gold bars is enough to reach 17000 but I’ll try.
What happened to the troll? The collected gold candies do not register. Do you have to collect on new levels?
They changed the Troll. You can only count gold candies collected on new levels. So, new levels come out on Wednesday. By then, the contest is over. Well, I knew it wouldn't last!.
Yeah Pat, they changed the troll to only new levels, which at least for me makes it totally worthless. I got the 6 level boosters (15 min UFO, 5 min PB, etc.) and was only able to get 1000 gold/brown candies in 40 minutes so gave up (winning like 8-9 levels in the 17K is non-trivial!). Up to 17689 now with 360 GBs left - actually not so bad now that they give you 5-7 extra moves and a UFO watching 3 ads after you fail). Good luck Rick and Luis on reaching 17000, rooting for you!
Candy Royal disappeared again but I received a fantastic new booster: 2 CB with “special powers” if you succeed to put them together. The only problem is that to take the most of it you have to complete as much episodes as you can, that is exactly the opposite to my previous tactic. Done thru #16910 and an inventory close to 7000 bars. Good luck everyone
I made it to level 17000 with 0 gold bars. The path to 17000 is like walking in a mine field. It is laced with Legendary and Super Hard levels. It ‘s a good thing I manage to 0pass those and reach the 17000. I got a UFO and a party booster as a prize for reaching that level. The only thing I like is that my icon banner was immediately changed to 17000 from 16000. Good luck everyone.
Well done Rick. Outstanding performance with zero bars once levels are really tough. Congratulations. After a marathon in order to take advantage of the special combo booster I also completed level 17000. Good luck everyone
Hello CC
Cc level 15440
Impossible to close
And there is no videos to help
Need a great help
Thanks CC :):):)
Thanks CC :):)
Help pls
I am having trouble syncing my devices. My phone and tablet should be on level 18003. But the tablet stopped at 17991. What can I do?
Hello Cc
Cc special level 15455
Very difficult level
No videos to help me
Can’t get it close without a great help
So posting for a better chance
Talks CC :):):)
Kudos to Rick and Luis for making it to 17000. Pat, not sure how to sync your devices but if you've passed 18000, I'm in awe! I just ran into level 17839, which crushed my bot streak, drained bunch of gold bars and made me contemplate giving up. I had full bot with every extra to start, plus free UFO booster to use and after buying 15 extra moves and using bunch of hands and hammers, gave up - couldn't get enough blockers to fall (of course, if I had started with the check booster, would have had a chance - as Luis used to remind us on these levels). Played bunch more times and got up to 105 extra moves and was able to complete so now on 17841.
Go Mike! You are almost there😀😀. I’m far behind and trying a new tactic, “combining” CR with special supercharged CB. I just completed #17480 but levels are becoming more and more difficult. Lets see… Good luck everyone
Done thru #17600. Levels 17481-525 are absolutely “tragic”. Party boosters required in a lot of them. Back to my previous strategy. Playing twice a week only when CR appears. Good luck everyone
So finally made it to level 18000. Luis, I will say that for last 100 or so levels, the new set of boosters before and after are much better. Before, I get 3 extra moves plus CB and stripe/wrap combo and after on some of the nightmare/legendary levels, up to 10 extra moves with either a CB or a UFO so I can keep my bot streak going (and win CRs - even got a full 600 GBs on one). The latest bug I've been dealing with is when waiting to watch ads at the end for extra moves, sometimes it loops trying to connect to store and you're hosed - have to x out and you lose bot and Super Charge CB. Happened again today on 18097 (had 1 jelly left and just needed 1 extra move to complete but no, you lose. Last time, I somehow got a "complete this level with 1 try and restore full bot streak" which was great. Hope it happens again. Agree with Super charge and CR strategy - got me this far (up to 1400 GBs).
Got a surprise today when I completed level 18245 and it told me "new levels coming soon" and put me in Star Tournament. It's been years since I've been "current". I've lost my bot streak several times due to server connection bug buy so far, the chance to restore bot streak by winning level has worked out. Coupled with the boosters at the beginning and extra moves after, been able to keep going. Only have 4 UFOs and no PBs but been able to maintain around 1600 GBs when I run into a "Gotcha" level (which is usually NOT a nightmare/legenday - although a few of them are insanely hard). Sunny - how bout them Buffalo Bills!
Done thru #17900. I found last 5 episodes absolutely insane. Adv to get extra moves is a trap. Board blocks and you lose everything: streak, supercharged CB,… Good luck everyone
Done thru #18020. I totally agree with Mike. Last hundred levels are easier. Nevertheless I recommend you to use the check mark booster whenever possible, mainly on 17919/46/71/86/98 and 18004/16. Good luck everyone
Done thru #18200. Be careful with level 18166. Use the check mark booster and try to combine CB. Hard to collect the blue candies. Good luck everyone
Save your robust boosters to episode 18335/50. Some levels are absolutely impossible without PB. Level 18349 is one of them. Good luck everyone.
Why do they continue the Troll on a Friday when there are no new levels to play? You cannot accumulate the gold candies on old levels. Return the Troll for old levels!!!
Done thru #18500. Business as usual. Some very difficult levels although in my opinion last episode is doable without many robust boosters. Candy Royal disappeared. On the other hand chocolate box is back again and gives 30 bars. Not bad. Good luck everyone
17680...impossible, please help
Have they taken away the season pass? CC giveth, and CC taketh away!
Episode #18606/20 is perhaps the most difficult ever. Several levels are completely undoable without PB unless you have the supercharged CB which is not my case. Good luck everyone.
