Levels over 10,000

 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.

10141 - 10150 - 10408 - 10642 - 10852 - 12175 - 13938

Thank you so Cookie, you’ve been amazing!! Maybe RICK you should keep the blog going???!lol 🤗🤗🤗
Is there anything else out there like this where we can get help from? On level 10,024 for days and days I just find it so frustrating. Also it sounds like people are getting grand prizes for hitting 10,000?? Still waiting… lol
But in all sincerity thank you Cookie, and Rick don’t give up!

Level 10150 is impossible without a lucky board. Post for maybe some luck

Sunny in Buffalo said...

Done thru 10,355, found 10,351 most difficult with such few moves. Good luck everyone & Go Bills on Monday night!

Deb said...

10348. Very clever King, having a revolving rope covered with cellophane over to areas that you can’t reach to destroy. Then you have to get 80 frosted squares that you have to hit three time before removing the rest of the 200 blank squares in 23 moves. You make the levels so easy it is FUN !!!!!

Rick said...

Done thru 10340 and earned 25 gold bars but spent much more. Agreed with Sunny that 10337 is hard but 10334 is also hard or harder.

Deb said...

10348. “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result”

Roger75 said...

10156 posting for luck. Ill never spend money buying boosters!

Pat said...

I am sick of collecting gold balls, gold stars, etc. Stop insulting players’ intelligence. Stop throwing scrappy boosters to us like a bone to a dog. We end up in 2nd position and get two hammers. For what? As of today, my whole approach to CC changes. Even if I play the same level for a month!

Sunny in Buffalo said...

Done thru 10,370, tough episode, time for a break, good luck everyone, til Wednesday & Go Bills!

Roger75 said...

Done thru 10355 and collected 25 gold bars. Although I passed all the levels on my first try, there is no rest on the hard levels King is dishing out recently.

Luís Bernardo said...

Done thru #10370. Awful episode. No more fun. No more relax. No more boosters. Time to look for other alternatives. Good luck everyone 🍀

Rick said...

I agree with Pat. King is not only a CHEATER, but also CHEAP. I qualified as wild card entrant in the Khloe Kardashian-sponsored All Star Tournament. My price=ONE check candy. I am not intending to compete on it anymore because of the crappy prizes King is handing out. I wonder how much King paid Khloe to use her name as the sponsor, but I am sick and tired of her image appearing every time you open Candy Crush.

Another thing, King thinks we players are STUPID. In the Chocolate Box, some of the tasks (to win 30 minutes of life and color bombs) include using 2 piñatas or 4 UFOs. Isn't that an insult to our intelligence?

Rick said...

This blog is being grouped into 200 comments each. I have to click on the "Newest" on the right of the blog to go to the latest comments.
It would have been much better if it is grouped into hundred of levels (for instance Levels 10100 to 10199, Levels 10200 t0 10299, etc.)

Fred said...

Hello
Cc level10111
Looks easy but different as videos shows
Need more moves to get the sour skulls
So impossible again

Rick said...

Done thru 10370 and got a net of 6 gold bars. I'll write tips later on some levels. New levels again tomorrow.

mue said...

Oui le plaisir est parti ..... le jeu est bloqué ! 5 jours sur le 10098 et rien ne bouge .... ça ne m'est jamais arrivé .... et je joue depuis des années ??????

Candymum99 said...

LEVEL 10261 🙄. Got infinite life for 1 week to be stuck here. Only 24 moves. Save your piñata and ufos for this level. You will need at least 3. Either you have 75 jelly left or 1. Very annoying

Roger75 said...

Unknown said...

😓😓😓 I think a lot of us aren’t going beyond 10,000. Every level is a slog without any skill. Thanks for the good times 😻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Rick said...

Done thru 10385. Four episodes this week for mobile. Good luck fellow mobile players.

Rick said...

In 10356, the frog is order-locked by one Color Bomb. Once it comes out, use the color bombs from the Color Bomb dispensers on cols. 6 and 8 to grow the frog by swiping it with a candy of the same color as the frog. Then use the grown frog to take out blockers or Licorice Swirls especially on the right bottom quadrant.

In 10359. this is a fish game. Only the fish can take out the jellies on the 1st and 9th columns protected by Licorice Fences. Try to open the fish dispenser on the 7th and 8th row. Once the fish is out, activate it with stripes coming out from the 5th column disperser.

In 10361, try to unlock ASAP the color bomb dispensers on the bottom of 2nd and 3rd columns. Then use the CB combos to clear the blockers and Licorice Swirls holding up the 2 cherries for them to be cleared to pass this level.

1n 10365, use the frog to take out licorice swirls and blockers on the top left quadrant, which are order-locked by Licorice Swirls. Make use of the CBs from CB dispersers on the second column to grow the frog. There are also wrap dispensers on the bottom left quadrant.

In 10378, use the frog to take out licorice swirls. Place them in the most-layered (5) licorice swirls, which will help in clearing them out.

In 10382, use a check candy which will turn into Licorice Swirl that you need for the order.

In 10383, activate the UFO (order-locked by Dark Chocolates) on the upper left corner as soon as it becomes available. The wraps coming from the UFO will help in clearing the board.

KS said...

Don't understand how anyone can pass this level without boosters. Just not enough moves. No chance to win boosters. Proud to get this far without spending a cent. I am not cheap I just think it would change the game if I buy my way out. Maybe this time I will have to quit. Happy to make it to 10,000. KS

Janesh said...

Thanks everyone for keeping the comment page going. Rick I appreciate your help! I really feel King could care less about all of us dedicated players. Make it harder so we buy boosters. Nope, not from me. I've gotten this far without spending any money and I won't in the future. I'll keep checking back! See ya later friends!

kik said...

Nice to see new levels in the Star Tournament :)

Sunny in Buffalo said...

Thanks Rick 10,378 tips. Kept trying to use frog to get keys far left (per video) to no avail, got it by using frog on bottom swirl things instead, CB's used to grow frog also get keys (if your'e lucky), good luck everyone!

Dolce’ said...

Can anybody help me with level 10,051 please? I’ve been on it for days, obviously not enough moves and having to wait for them to decide when you should pass it or not is totally frustrating. And not even because I’m not getting this level, I really feel like this game is just not fun anymore, maybe it’s because I’m over 10,000 games and now it’s just become boring…. might have to find a new one out there to play.
Thanking you in advance. 🤗

Rick said...

Done thru 10400. Levels 10392 to 10399 are levels designed to make us quit. For instance, in 10395, if you are able to clear the Sour Skull, its pedestals will turn into double jellies covered by 5-layered licorice swirls. I passed it only after I use 3 UFOs and bought 5 extra moves. I wonder how I could have passed it if I didn't do that.
In 10400, be careful because there is a trap in that if a cherry falls on the 2nd col 8th row corner, you won't be able to clear it unless you use a hand booster. Unfortunately, I ran out of hand boosters and I have only 18 gold bars left, not enough to buy any hands. I have to play it in another device, which luckily I was able to pass it and collected 25 badly needed gold bars by winning the episode race.
I will lay low for while until I collect boosters and gold bars to continue playing this becoming stupid game.

Deb said...

10393. It is ridiculous. There is no chance of winning this level without special boosters. Candy Crush is now not fun anymore. Not worth playing anymore.

Rick said...

Corrections.
In my previous comments, I erroneously referred to Toffee Swirls as Licorice Swirls. Licorice Swirls Are black but Toffee Swirls are brown and can have up to 5 layers. Licorice is only one layer.

Rick said...

In 10392, use the frog to clear the 4x4 boxes on the upper right and lower left. You can get color bombs from the middle column dispenser to grow the frog,
In 10393, the keys are protected by 3 layers of sugar coats. You might need a CB combo or a piñata to have a chance of passing this level.
In 10396, the 5-layered Toffee Swirls are covered by 3 layers of crystals. That’s 8 layers you have to clear. Try to get a stripe/wrap combos from the dispensers on cols. 2 & 3 and 7 & 8.
In 10397, a check candy booster here is helpful.

kik said...

Nice to see new Star Tournament games, but the Chocolate Box is very difficult to complete for gold bars lately.

Sunny in Buffalo said...

Done thru 10,385, tough episode, agree "chocolate box" is more difficult if you get the new version, thanks again to Rick for keeping us "alive", lol!

Luís Bernardo said...

King is jeopardizing our sanity. Stuck on #10393. Just impossible without special boosters that I do not have. Good luck everyone 🍀

Roger75 said...

10209 pfl. Starting to hate playing CC... in chocolate box goals are too hard for few rewards.

Sunny in Buffalo said...

Just like Luis I was stuck on 10,393 all day til I used 10 gold bars for the accumulated 23 extra moves, got 10,394 on the 1st go, now stuck on 10,394, ugh! Good luck to all...

Janesh said...

These levels are awful. But I guess if CC is finished in December I'll keep plugging along and see how much farther I can go. King doesn't care about us anymore!

Luís Bernardo said...

Done thru #10400 . Surprisingly, last 5 levels were not so difficult as I expected. Tough episode. Good luck everyone 🍀

Rick said...

Done thru 10415. Another ridiculous episode, the most ridiculous level is 10414. I don't know why King wants us players to quit by making these ridiculous levels. Who will be watching the ads that King is making a lot of money from? I'm very close to quitting. I just have 1 UFO but no more hands and hammers. My 40 gold bars left can hardly but anything.

Luís Bernardo said...

This game became a “catch 22” for those players that do not want to buy boosters. You need extra moves to complete new levels but to get gold bars in the chocolate box to buy extra moves you need to complete new levels!! Impossible. No solution.

Att King: we see hundreds of adv every week. Isn’t that more profitable than receive a few € from some of us?
Please review this situation in order to reward our loyalty during all these years. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Luís Bernardo said...

I just finished #10402. Is a good example of what I said the previous post. Do not use piñatas or UFO because there is not enough licorice on board. I played countless times in order to increase the number of moves I could buy with my last gold bars and when I got a lucky board I bought the extra moves. Good luck everyone 🍀

Rick said...

As I have said before, King is a CHEATER and CHEAP. Now, King is also like an ANACONDA. King is squeezing us players slowly to suffocate us by removing or limiting our source of boosters and gold bars. An example is the Chocolate Box. Before, we get 20 gold bars plus a UFO. Now it’s down to 10 gold bars and the UFO is gone. Now, one of the chocolates has tasks which include passing new levels (the one with red circles), or pass a new level on the first try (the one with a gold crown) and listen to this, use a piñata or two or use 4 UFOs to get 30 minutes of life and color bomb. King thinks we are stupid enough to use those valuable boosters just to get timed life and CB. We won’t be able to complete the Chocolate Box unless we finish one of the tasks for each chocolate, and that one with those tasks is a “killer.”

Passing new levels is like what Luis Bernardo says is a “catch 22” situation. The levels now King is putting out require powerful boosters (like piñatas and UFOs) to pass. But King is taking away our source of boosters (remember the Sugar Track and the Sugar Candies?). If you don’t have the boosters to pass a level, relying on “plain luck” will take you days or maybe weeks to pass it, or you might not even pass it at all. I have seen comments that players have been stuck playing the same level for days. Sorry King, but I don’t have the time nor the patience to do just that. I’ll rather quit.

Fred said...

Hello
Level 10120
Have only 22 moves
So …
Posting for lucky board
Thanks CC

Mike Baskey said...

Looking for help on level 10200. I share the frustrations about losing booster opportunities (I never got any piñatas or UFO on 10000) and down to 1 or 2 color bombs. Also seems first try with a streak is harder and then easier once you lose the boosters so always starting clean. On 10200, I can usually clear the skulls, use coconut wheels to clear bottom licorice twists but by the time I get the side twists and the other blocks to open up the bottom spines, no moves left. Any hints?

Sunny in Buffalo said...

Done thru 10,400. Check mark booster helps on 10,397, per Rick! Watched the video on 10,200, they get lucky with CB/wrap combo, good luck...

Lcky said...

When are new levels coming after 10430

Jan said...

No new levels this week?

Deb said...

It is becoming clear the strategy King has been employing over the past six weeks on participants who are at the top. They are not interested in us because we are a small contingent. It is evident that they want us to give up. The game is slightly flawed because people at 4000 to 6000 levels realize that they are never going to get to the top because King keeps adding more levels than they can win each week. So many are giving up. Over the past six weeks King has introduced measures that make it difficult to get to the top.
1. They have made levels impossible and you had to have special boosters to pass.
2. They increased the number of episodes so that you have to pass over 60 levels instead of 45.
3. Have you noticed that you do not get so many extra moves, you also hardly ever are able to use coconut wheels, which are usually very helpful
4. Also now days when you attempt to form Candy bombs they explode before you can use them.
5. I bet most players now have less boosters than they ever had and it is hard to win them.
6. They are not adding any more levels at the top this week. It is clear they are not interested.
All of these features are designed to make it difficult.
I find it difficult to understand as the people near the top are long time dedicated players who have encouraged friends to play. It is.very sad as it was once a fun past time

Deb said...

Cookie. My final thought. I am sorry for Cookie as she has creaked a remarkable website which informed players and as well helped to promote the game. She has spent a considerable amount of time guiding us on how to pass levels without boosters. This was a tremendous effort. Now she has to go and redo many of the levels that King changed to make them harder.
Thanks Cookie for helping to make the game enjoyable

Latest news King.com
On November 3, 2015, gaming giant Activision Blizzard acquired King.com (now renamed Royalgames.com) for $5.9 billion, which make it the Largest Game Network in the world with over 500 Million Users. Activision Blizzard (maker of Call of Duty, Guitar Hero, World of Warcraft, among others) is one of the world's largest video game publishers, but historically the company has been almost exclusively focused on making games for the hardcore PC and console markets. King owned Candy Crush, the highest-grossing mobile game of all time in the United States, which gave Activision a foothold in the market for smart phone games. King.com went public in 2014 at $22.50 per share but saw its stock decline over its two-year life as a public company.

The business, owned by Activision Blizzard, has clearly suffered since browser games stepped away from using Flash. Now, the website will shut down and remove its remaining games at 10am GMT on December 7, 2021 following technical issues and a recent PayPal investigation.

“Hello Royal Gamers, for 18 years, players around the world have enjoyed Royal Games’ competitive tournaments,” reads an official blog post. “At the end of 2020, we shared an update with you that due to changing web-based technology on major browsers, we would be adjusting the game services we are able to offer to players. This evolving landscape has led us to the make the difficult decision to close down the Royal Games site.”

I don't know if it mean "Candy Crush" will cease to exist by December 7.

Luís Bernardo said...

Stuck on #10414. Totally impossible without extra moves or lots of UFO/ piñatas 😂😂😂😂😂

Rick said...

I'm at 10423. It's probably the end of me in Candy Crush with no more boosters and 11 gold bars left, not good enough to buy anything.
Good luck to all of you who are still persevering.

Elektra said...

ANY help with 10419 will be appreciated! I’ve been stuck and can’t even clear the bombs before they explode. Also, Rick, very interesting about the sale to Activision Blizzard. December 7 may have a new reason to be a “day that will live in infamy”! Thanks to you all for keeping this blog going. Best luck.

Elektra said...

Finally got 10419 with a coconut wheel, 1 hammer, 1 hand switch and 10 gold bars for 23 extra moves. Sheeesh!

Sunny in Buffalo said...

Congrats to all the "veterans" still here & far ahead of me :( I finally got 10,402 with 2 hammers & 2 hands, made 10,403 seem easy, now working on 10,404. Good luck to all & as Elekra said, thanks to all!

Luís Bernardo said...

Done thru #10415. Tough episode with several levels undoable without special boosters. #10414 is a nightmare. Good luck everyone 🍀

LouLou said...

Thank you for sharing all these years. Why did they have to ruin it with Khloe Kardashian? I mean for real.

Rick said...

I am now on level 10423 with no boosters and a few gold bars. I played it over 10 times most with 6 extra free moves (by watching ads) and the closest I got is 4 jellies left. Here is my (catch 22) situation. I have to complete the Chocolate Box to get 10 gold bars. In order to complete the box, one chocolate has one of these 4 tasks: (1) use 6 UFOs (2) use 2 piñatas (3) complete 4 new levels or (4) pass 6 new levels on the first go. (By the way, those 4 tasks are always bunched together under one chocolate) I don’t have piñatas or UFOs. Even if I do, I am not stupid enough to use them to get 10 gold bars. I need the gold bars to buy boosters to pass new levels. If I don’t pass new levels (for lack of boosters) how can I earn the gold bars to buy the boosters? How do you answer that, King.com (or Royalgames.com)? So, I will just quit.

Rick said...

Congratulations to Deb, Elektra, Sunny in Buffalo, Luis Bernardo, and others who have reached levels 10400 and beyond because you are really good players, otherwise you won’t reach these levels. King has made the levels tougher from 9900 and up.

Luís Bernardo said...

To Rick: I full understand your frustration and I am sympathetic with you because I am stuck on #10421 with no special boosters at all.
Nevertheless this is only a game and there is life beyond candy crush☺️😁 It was really a pleasure to share this stage with all of you during all this years. Stay well. I wish you all the best. 🍀

Sunny in Buffalo said...

Stuck on 10,408 :( I have lots of boosters but don't use them anymore (obviously I'm so far behind), not worth it the way the boards open up lately it's just a waste! Agree with Luis above comment, don't quit Rick we need your tips/help, good luck to all...

Dolce’ said...

Hats off to everybody as we have passed the 10,000 mark. But it’s funny I just have no interest in playing this game anymore. King has made it so difficult, you would think they would keep the levels at a stage where you use skill and not wait for a lucky board for them to dictate when you should win or not. I think people would be more apt to spend money If it was fun and not frustrating knowing that they just want you to spend money. I do have boosters but I think it’s time to just use them up and Call it a day, just not fun at all…

MP said...

I agree that King have obviously decided that this will no longer be a free game.
If you don't buy boosters you can't pass on to new levels. Simple as that.
But nevertheless there must be many players who are buying boosters because why else would King still be developing new levels weekly? Certainly there is no need to do that for those who only started the Saga recently or a few years ago since there are still thousands of levels for them to play (and buy boosters).
Btw, wait till you see what King prepared for us with levels 10457 and 10459.
Really a blunt suggestion from them to quit playing this game

MP said...

Btw, some of you are mentioning ads and videos to watch for extras?
I'm always playing only on my iPhone and don't have any of this

Sunny in Buffalo said...

Always had videos but not in the last 2 days :( Stuck on 10,410. Good luck everyone & Go Bills!

JaneM said...

10302 just can’t do it.

Sunny in Buffalo said...

Done thru 10,415 thanks to the return of videos, good luck!

Janesh said...

Struggling with 10411. Sunny in Buffalo where are you finding videos? Thank

Sunny in Buffalo said...

I get videos on my tablet prior to starting a level & for extra moves if I fail a level, though they disappear from time to time, but not on the desktop. Even with videos, boosters are "powerless" against the current levels :( Good luck!

Rick said...

I just passed 10425 and now facing a Super Hard level in 10426. I’ll play it tomorrow to complete my Daily Win. I’m inching along like hopping and playing with one foot and collecting boosters to be able to contnue.



Luís Bernardo said...

I’m working on #10434. All sources of boosters are disappearing. This time I lost the episode race!
Be prepared for #10429 and save special boosters…if you still have some.
Good luck everyone 🍀

Roger75 said...

10243 pfl.

Janesh said...

Friends, how in the world do I pass 10411? I have played and played this level. I've watched videos, (thanks Sunny in Buffalo) So frustrating! I will not buy boosters. Posting for luck but I don't even know if that will help!!

MP said...

There is only one strategy left for majority of levels lately: play them for as long as needed to get additional extra lives and try not to die of boredom while replaying the same level for 50 times.
Of course you still need 10 gold bars to buy extra lives.
(at least for iPhone players as there are no videos and ads to watch for extra moves here)

Rick said...

I lost the Episode Race too and my Episode Race winning streak of 60+ has ended. Now, I’ m no. 5 in that race and still at level 10427 while the other four players have completed the episode up to 10430. I am not in a hurry anyway. i am now playing levels only for the Daily Win.

JaneM said...

4Luck

Luís Bernardo said...

Done thru #10445. Last episode had some very difficult levels but all of them doable without special boosters (UFO or piñata). I don’t have any. Episode race disappeared which means that I can’t earn gold bars to buy extra moves 😅😅😅. Good luck everyone 🍀

Sunny in Buffalo said...

Stuck on 10,426 for 2 days, congrats to Luis & Rick, feel so far behind :(

Luís Bernardo said...

Hi Sunny, don’t worry. I will be waiting for you on # 10458. Wait to see the surprise King prepared for us.😅😅😅 I do not know how this level can be passed. Good luck everyone 🍀

Luís Bernardo said...

Well… I was completely wrong. #10459 is absolutely undoable without special boosters and extra moves!!! Perhaps the most difficult level ever 😂😂😂😂😂Tomorrow I will get 10 gold bars with the chocolate box and I’m going to play that level until I can buy 35 extra moves with those bars and wait for a lucky board. Wish me luck 🍀👍👍👍

Deb said...

10425. I can’t understand what King is trying to achieve. I have been on this level for three days and have used bonuses from Fantastic Five and have not come close. According to Sunny he has been on the next level 10426 for two days. The business model of King does not make sense as they are not making their consumers happy.

forgetmenot said...

10315 ! Just can't get past it

Dkcc said...

I miss the tips Miss Cookie, I need luck on 10183. No other way😢🙏

Sunny in Buffalo said...

Got past 10,426 by using my last 10 gold bars for 35 (yes 35) accumulated extra moves thanks to Luis suggestion. That alone should tell us something, now stuck on 10,429. Good luck everyone...

Luís Bernardo said...

Done thru #10460. 3 last levels of the episode are almost impossible 😂😂😂 with only skills, strategy and lucky board. You need extra moves. Save at least 10 bars to solve #10459. Play and fail the level until you can buy 30 extra moves with the bars and use it only if you have succeed to clean the board till last row. Otherwise you risk to fail even with those extra moves. Unless King decides to change the level to the original version we see in the videos I don’t think it can be done without lots of special boosters that I believe you don’t have or using the strategy I mentioned. Good luck everyone 🍀

Luís Bernardo said...

Att King: I don’t have episode race and so I can’t win gold bars. Without gold bars I can’t buy extra moves. Without extra moves it’s impossible to pass levels.
See # 10467. Absolutely impossible.
It will be more fair if you state that you do not want players that do not intend to buy boosters.
Being that the case, regardless our contribution for the game during all these years, we will have the opportunity to decide to give up or keep suffering 😩😩😩😩

Pat said...

I have been on 10500 for days. Even with boosters, it is impossible w/o the major boosters.

Sunny in Buffalo said...

It's a miracle! Done thru 10,430 with a stash of 22 gold bars which I will save for the tough levels mentioned earlier, good luck...

Pat said...

I just read that candy crush saga will end on November 29, 2021! Is this true?

Anna said...

For level 10404 I need a super lucky board. I struggle on the fourth day with this level. I have only 20 moves. Thank you

Deb said...

According to several news outlets, Candy Crush is going to shut down on 7 December.
Sorry for Cookie as she has done a great service to Candy Crush players. I am very sorry that King sold Candy Crush to Activision. Since then Candy Crush went down hill.

Mezzanine said...

Thank you for all the help. I just wish someone could help me with 10337. No idea how to do it!

Luís Bernardo said...

Done thru #10475. Episode in line with the last. Some very difficult levels not doable without extra moves or special boosters. I spent last 2 UFO I had won with daily sticker and F5.😔😔😔😔Good luck everyone 🍀

Rick said...

I finally completed the episode up to 10430 and collected the “very valuable” 2 gold bars by placing 5th in the Episode Race.
I don’t mind if Candy Crush will disappear on Dec. 7. It is not fun playing it anymore. Activision is trying to recoup what it overpaid for buying it for $5.9 billion. Activision probably instructed its programmer to make Candy Crush much harder in the hope of players will spend money to buy boosters, but it backfired! More players quit than continue playing it by buying boosters.

Ditte said...

As far as I can see it's just the opportunity to play on the royalgames.com (never heard of it before) site that will shut down. Unfortunately....

Anna said...

I need desperately a super lucky board for level 10404. 4 days I struggle. I have only 20 moves, it is definitely not enough.

Deb said...

The closing of Candy Crush on 7 December relates to a gambling site that Candy Crush contestants pay to compete against each other for cash. Pay Pal has been involved in some sort of investigation or dispute.

Stacey said...

Can someone tell me the easiest way to collect boosters?

Luís Bernardo said...

Stuck on #10480. Absolutely impossible 😂😂😂😂🙏🙏🙏🙏

Luís Bernardo said...

On #10480 besides skills and strategy you will definitely need a lucky board. Play with the green candies of both sides and try to obtain a CB with them. From time to time when it happens a second CB drops automatically. Combine both because that is the only way to clear the board. Unless you have a piñata which was not my case.
Working now on #10485, a very challenging level but also very creative. Congratulations to the programmers.
Good luck everyone 🍀

Dkcc said...

Can’t get 10195 can’t hit the skull just give up before game is ove cause no way win Rick you seem to be new Miss Cookie giving tips here and there please help or need lucky board cc

Sunny in Buffalo said...

Done thru 10,445, now working on 10,450. Good luck & thanks for the tips Luis!

Unknown said...

Stuck on level 360.not enough targets.

Luís Bernardo said...

#10486 absolutely impossible with that number of moves unless there is a miracle 😉😉😉

MP said...

Stuck on impossible #10522 in today's new episode
Again one of those levels that you need to replay till you get 30 extra moves.
As if it was not enough King added extra layers of cream and cut the moves to 18!
Perhaps King is doing this to help us to overcome CC addiction :-)

Rick said...

Thanks Dkcc. In 10195, you need to get rid of the skull ASAP because the keys to open up the board are under its pedestals. Clearing the skull is difficult because it stays on the upper right hand corner where there are to moves to clear it. It is also protected from the left by licorice swirls. You might need to use some hammers to clear (it has 5 lives which is lost by matching candies beside it or by hitting it.) Good luck!

Lcky said...

Has anyone passed level 10495 ?
I have been it for days ? Please help !

Sunny in Buffalo said...

Done thru 10,460. Next episode introduces a new figure "candy cobra" which makes the 1st few levels super easy, now working on 10,466, good luck...

Luís Bernardo said...

Att KING: taking into consideration the number of check marks (V) in the board at the beginning, level 10489 is mathematically impossible without extra moves. The number of moves we have now is not enough to achieve the 3 targets 😂😂😂😂

Luís Bernardo said...

Done thru #10490. Finally!!! Very tough episode. Good luck everyone 🍀

Elektra said...

I like those candy cobras that Sunny in Buffalo referred to [11/11 @ 14:13]. I’m still figuring them out but they seem to be a “net plus”. I’m just starting an episode (10506) and need all the +s I can get. I’ve found that most levels lately I just can’t win w/o those 30 (or fewer) extra moves for (hopefully only) 10 gold bars. Even when I have free boosters to start for an hour. Makes me really nostalgic for the good old days when we could reset the game over and over, without losing a life, while waiting for our 2 color bombs to start off side-by-side. (Can’t remember the name of the daily game that set that up.). Anyway good luck to all!

MP said...

10530 is another absolutely impossible level.
Full of cream and locked blockers, exits for cherries locked and the key strategically placed in a hard to hit corner and only 20 moves.
Don't see it could be done even with 30 extra moves as I haven't come close to clearing the paths and cream from at least one cherry yet there are 4 to be collected.
Levels like this should be named goodbye levels

MP said...

I passed 10530 with 30 extra moves (4 moves remained 😬)
I was hoping for an easier level as a reward, but nope, 10531 is another one where you can hope to pass only with a lot of extra moves
Really ridiculous 😑🤬🤬😑

E.M. said...

10057 is ridiculous with 9 moves less. You can hardly get to the bottom part without using up most of your moves. Extremely boring this way.

Sunny in Buffalo said...

Done thru 10,475 some tough levels but not as bad as last few episodes, good luck!

MP said...

Done thru 10535 - completing the far hardest episode by now
Good luck

Lcky said...

Dose this mean we will just have to wait fir a lucky board every time?
Please fix you guys have been Fun!

Lcky said...

Sorry its level 10497 need help with!

MP said...

Yes, Lcky
Almost every level now requires many extra moves.
They start with very limited space, not enabling us to make combos and are piled with skulls, keys, cream and blockers, making it impossible to pass with 20 moves.
Wait till 10540 🤬🤯😱
It's really impossible to pass

Luís Bernardo said...

#10495 is another “35 moves level”, which means that you have to play it countless times and use 10 gold bars to buy extra moves!
Very difficult. Now stuck on level #10501 and without special boosters I do not see how to overcome it. So boring now😂😂😂😂

Luís Bernardo said...

#10510 is not a nightmarishly level. It’s a no-go level and perhaps the end of candy crush for some of us. Just impossible😩😂😰😰😰

Dolce’ said...

PLEEEAAASE help on 10179! I know you guys are way ahead of this but I can’t seem to get anywhere on this one! Congrats to you all haven’t gone this far! don’t give up Rick, you’re amazing!

Els said...

10057 Only 22 moves. It is impossible to pass this level.
So please please please I need a lucky board.
Thank you.

Sunny in Buffalo said...

Done thru 10,490 with 45 gold bars accumulated, saving for impossible levels ahead, good luck & go Bills!

Deb said...

Won Fastastic Five with 7000 points. However King has not given me the prize Have won two more levels and they were added to my points but the total stayed at 7000 and still no prize. Thanks King I am totally fed up with Candy Crush.

MP said...

Stuck on 10547 and replaying it to get 30 extra lives.
So many levels lately start with very limited space to make moves, full of crem, spawners, skulls and locked fields and are obviously designed to make us use the remaining boosters from our stacks and/or to replay till reaching 35 extra moves. Not fun anymore and once my stack dries up I will have to look for a different game as I won't be buying boosters or bars.
Any suggestions (and not one of Kings')?

Luís Bernardo said...

Done thru #10520. Horrible. Perhaps the most tough episode so far😂😂😂😂. Several levels undoable without extra moves. Good luck everyone 🍀

Sunny in Buffalo said...

Done thru 10,505 with the help of full win streak, good luck everyone!

Elektra said...

I’m also stuck on 10547, like MP. Playing over and over again for extra moves — currently at 8 (+5). Long way to go because I’m not even sure that 35 extra moves will make the difference. Good luck everyone!

Sunny in Buffalo said...

I'm playing 10,513 repeatedly for the 35 extra moves hoping that's enough, also we need a new column for tips/comments for higher levels 😉

Bertiebassett said...

Hi Cookie, I always tried to complete the levels on my own but always turned to your page when I get stuck for tips. I rarely used the videos as generally, not just for CC, I don't find they help me to much. Thank you so much for all your help and I've missed you on some of the levels after 10,000. Now got to 100012, which is undoable, in my opinion. Thanks again and I wish you all the best for the future.

MP said...

Regarding Cookie - I still think it was King after all.
Since we all see now that levels above 10000 are mostly impossible to pass without serious boosters and extra lives, there is obviously no need for any assistance any more. Moreover most of the tips for last few thousand levels were to treat them as jelly levels and to try to make some strong combos to clear the levels. What I always found strange is how come I was very often able to pass a level in a first attempt (or in first few attempts) after visiting the blog. Couldn't have been just a coincidence.
As I wrote a few times before, King obviously changed strategy towards advanced players who refuse to buy boosters. If we stop playing, they loose nothing. There must be quite a few players who do buy boosters and bars, even beyond #10000, otherwise King wouldn't still be adding new levels weekly.
I'll play while my stack of gold bars hands and hammers lasts, but it's not so much fun anymore as it is boring to replay almost every level for many times to assure sufficient extra moves.
Good luck 🍀👍🏻

Janesh said...

MP I SO agree with your comments. I am one who has made it to level 10480 without spending any money. I've said before it's really odd to post for luck then win on the next few plays. It's not fun anymore. I do appreciate all the names I've seen in the comments and the helpful advice. I do will like we are all friends!
Have a great day! And good luck to you

Luís Bernardo said...

Done thru #10535. Although with some difficult levels this episode is easier than the previous one.
I full agree with the above comments. Levels are totally undoable without robust boosters and/or extra movies.
Needless to say that it’s very hard now to win special boosters and so the conclusion is obvious: King don’t want to keep us in the game😂😂😂😂

Sunny in Buffalo said...

Done thru 10,520 yesterday, now stuck on 10,522 even with 45 minutes free life & 15 minutes free CB, available videos are so much easier, just waiting for the elusive lucky board :(

Luís Bernardo said...

Pay attention to #10537. Is a nightmare and also a trap. The “35 moves strategy” can be not enough. Do not waste your 10 bars unless you get a very very lucky board because candies have several layers. The only way I found to pass the level after playing countless times was to using the initial CB booster and force another one with switch and hammers. Putting the 2 CB together will do most of the job for you. I thought it was a miracle but from time to time KING remember us and our fidelity and resilience🙏🙏🙏🙏.
Now stuck on #10540😂😂😂😂

Sunny in Buffalo said...

Done thru 10,535. Luis is right , some tough levels but got thru quicker than the last episode, thanks for the heads up for 10,537. Chocolate box is gone again, still get boosters from "sweet cinema" & videos, good luck to all...

Luís Bernardo said...

Hi Sunny: glad to see your commitment with the game😩😩congratulations. Mine is close to zero. Attention to #10547. Absolutely insane. I spent my last 10 bars to pass it after ten thousand tries. Save at least ten bars or a piñata. You will definitely need it. Good luck everyone 🍀

Pat said...

My journey with cc is over. I have been on level 10547 for a week. I am still on levels from Nov. 10. Maybe it is good that the game is ending soon. NOW for me. I really enjoyed cc. My grandson introduced me to the game in 2014 (I believe). I am getting back to more reading now.

Luís Bernardo said...

Done thru #10550. Finally!! #10549 is tremendously difficult and I thought it was impossible to pass it without the famous 35 moves strategy which implies having bars and that was not my case. I was wrong. I certainly got “that” lucky board but let me share with you how I pass the level. I used the initial boosters and I combined a CB with an horizontal stripe. Don’t do it with the wrap because there are no coloured candies on the left side and you will not hit the caramels. I forgot the right side of the board and played on the left whenever possible. When I had only five moves left I realized that the board was much much more clear than usually. Then I launched an UFO and I used a switch to combine 2 wraps. On my last move I used a hammer to destroy the last jelly. Miracle🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 Good luck everyone 🍀

Sunny in Buffalo said...

Well I made it to the dreaded 10,549 after countless tries on 10,548. Should be rated nightmare hard! Time for a break, go Sabres!

Lcky said...

Level 10511 needs to be fixed it is nit possible to do! I give up!
Love the game but the Fun is not there any more!
Thanks!

Lcky said...

Please guve me a Lucky board cc been here for days!

Sunny in Buffalo said...

Done thru 10,550. Level 10,549 was crazy hard, took 1 UFO, 1 hand, & 1 hammer, luckily I made "fantastic 5" and the UFO was replaced, holy cannoli! Good luck to all...

Lcky said...

Level 10512 is harder then it looks will need a lucky board Please!

Sunny in Buffalo said...

10,552 should be nightmare with so few moves, got thru it with the help of fish booster which attacks those snake things, made 10,553 seem easy. Where is Rick? Good luck to all & Happy Thanksgiving!

Luís Bernardo said...

#10558 is also very tough. I recommend you to play always on the right side of the board. It’s easier to create and combine CB and you you will need at least 3 double CB to clear the board.
Stuck on #10561. Good luck everyone 🍀

Luís Bernardo said...

#10561 is absolutely undoable without extra moves. So, unless KING decides to reward us with bars in a side contest, CC is over to me 😂😂😂😂. I realized that adv increased a lot during last month and being so, should also be important to keep some of those players that do not intend to buy boosters. Think about that KING. Otherwise will be the end. Chocolate box disappeared and even if it returns it will be impossible to complete because “fourth” column will be undoable. Episode race is out of question because we can not pass the level. Being so, there is no way of winning bars and CC is over.🙏🙏🙏

Sunny in Buffalo said...

Agree with Luis comment above...I'm stuck on 10,555 for 2 days, always way short on those black licorice swirls, any tips from those who passed it are appreciated, taking a break today for Thanksgiving, good luck...

Eileen & Skip said...

I am so ticked off at level 10489, they release only one target per move at a time, no matter how long the cascade & there just are not enough moves. Even used 3 UFO's to try & pass (won them) & it wasn't enough to satisfy your greed! Forget it King, I'm done, I am NOT spending gems to get past a level, you suck!

Lcky said...

Another very impossible level please give me a lucky board!

Mezzanine said...

10457 is impossible. Help please I need a lucky board please

Sunny in Buffalo said...

Day 3 on 10,555, even with the ufo's I have amassed they are useless since there are never enough licorice, even had 1 hour CB & stripe/wrap, can't come close, perhaps my days are numbered too!

Elektra said...

Hang in there Sunny in Buffalo! I’m finding that I spend days on just about every level. And I need the 35 extra moves on each as well. Am I actually still having fun? I just know that I’m not quite ready to quit. I wish I had some tips for you for 10555 but I don’t remember how I finally passed. It could have been one of those levels — there have been a few — where I don’t quite win with 35 extra moves so I have to spend an additional 16 gold bars for just a few more moves. At least 2x I just needed 1-3 more moves. Frustrating. And 2 or 3 times I needed the additional extras that the next 25 gold bars bought.

When you get to 10603, a coconut wheel helps, although I didn’t win straight out using it. (Sunny, I’m pretty sure that you are the one who turned me on to the value of the coconut wheel booster many many episodes ago. So thanks!)

And where IS Rick????

Sunny in Buffalo said...

Thanks Elektra, still here (after 6 yrs) used several hammers to get last licorice on 10,555. Now day 2 on 10,558, Luis says to work on right side when possible with yellow & red candies except when there are no moves & the board shuffles you get all colors on right side, ugh! Congrats on reaching 10,603, your'e a super star! And yes we need Rick back!!!

Mezzanine said...

10473 need a lucky board please

Sunny in Buffalo said...

Well I got past 10,558 on day 3 using my last UFO :( made the next 2 levels seem easy, now at 10,561 which Luis already warned is diabolical, good luck to all...

Luís Bernardo said...

#10564 is another impossible level. Usually I finish moves with more than 80 jellies left😂😂😂😂.
Hi Sunny: “your” level is absolutely undoable without extra moves. I played it countless times and I got 2 CB together only once !!!
Good luck everyone 🍀




Sunny in Buffalo said...

Hi Luis, well you are right, I foresee another 3 day level, however when I opened the game it said I won some "challenge" & was awarded 50 gold bars (currently had 1) can't explain it but grateful while waiting for lucky 10,561 board. Good luck!

Lcky said...

Please help oass this level! Do mot know shat to do! Level 10521,

Lcky said...

Level10521 is nit doable why make levels like this anyways

Luís Bernardo said...

Done thru #10565. Crazy tough episode. Good luck everyone 🍀

Flippenheck said...

Thanks for all your help. Could really do with your help now as cannot see how 10645 is doable on moves given

Sunny in Buffalo said...

Yep, day 3 on 10,561, even with 30 minutes free CB & stripe/wrap can't make a dent. I have gold bars & can redeem for 35 moves, just waiting to get remotely close to use them, congrats to those ahead & good luck...

Flippenheck said...

Still stuck on 10645, help is needed

Luís Bernardo said...

Stuck on #10571. Levels 10569/70 are very difficult. Tip for level 10569: concentrate in the middle of the board and choose only one side of it. It’s enough to clear the path to the rainbows. Good luck everyone 🍀

Mike Baskey said...

Need help on level 10417. As always only a few squares at top so even load of boosters not enough to make a big enough dent. I had won 100 gold bars from the 4 weekly contests but they went fast to keep up my bot streak (which ended 1 Level before 10417 of course). To Sunny in Buffalo, "beat those Patriots on Monday night. GO BILLS!

Flippenheck said...

Help needed for 10645

Sunny in Buffalo said...

Thanks Mike, we love our Bills! Finally cracked 10,561 after almost 4 days & 10 gold bars for 35 extra moves, worst level in months, taking a break, good luck to all!

Flippenheck said...

Need help for 10650

Flippenheck said...

Help please for 10650

Anna said...

I need a super lucky board for the level 10609. I am working on it almost one week. Not even closer. Moves are reduced from 33 to 25. Help me please.

Flippenheck said...

Help needed

MP said...

Sorry but for 10650 you don't need help but boosters like piñata or Ufo and many extra moves, as it is usually the case lately 😬
it's pretty straightforward what needs to be done and also obvious that it cannot be done in 20 moves with so many layers of cream and chocolate on a limited board where cherries need to be unlocked.

MP said...

For 10609 (and this goes for most of levels with sculls), I find it worthwhile to use hammers and hands to clear them immediately as the board only opens after they are cleared.

Flippenheck said...

Thanks MP. I thought as much but just hoping if I post here I might get a magic board as I don't have pinata and I don't think my two ufo will hack it

Sunny in Buffalo said...

Done thru 10,565. Heads up on this one, you must allow the chocolate to eat the 6 keys, if you don't grow 6 chocolates it's "game over" as no more will grow & 2nd cherry won't be released, good luck...

Flippenheck said...

Finally got 10650 by going to another device wherever had a pinata. Used that near the end of game and used a lot of switches and hammers when I had broken a path for the cherries

Mezzanine said...

10489 is beyond difficult. You have to remove blockers which don’t appear. Posting for luck please

Flippenheck said...

Same again now for 10654

Flippenheck said...

Help needed for 10654 please

E.M. said...

10112 is impossible to get through. The fish are supposed to open up the sides like they do in the video,no cages there!,but they don't open enough to put the frog there. Only possible if you have a handswitch to get 2 balls together. No fun.

MP said...

As Cookie would have said it: just treat 10654 as a normal level - this meaning now replaying it till you get additional 30 extra moves and then wait for a lucky board. It may still take a few hammers and hands.
Unfortunately this is all we can do to pass most of the levels lately 😬

Flippenheck said...

Thanks JP.I have never got 30 extra lives. 6 is the most, and only recently getting that

MP said...

Well Flippenheck, me I just play on iPhone and after replaying a level for a while (probably 30 or 50 or even more tries - have never counted) you start getting additional egtra moves till you reach 30 to be added to the starting +5 moves that can be bought for 10 gold bars.
But I have no ads and thus no extras for watching them as is obviously the case for some other devices.

Sunny in Buffalo said...

Thanks Luis for 10,569 tip. If possible, you only need to clear the full middle column & right side for "rapids', now trying to figure out 10,571, good luck!

Flippenheck said...

Thanks MP, I don't have that on my android phone, I must have played 10654 fifty times now qnd getting nowhere near

gkulka1974 said...

Posting for tons and tons and tons of luck on level 10287 🍀!!!!

Luís Bernardo said...

Done thru #10580. Another set of very difficult levels. # 10577 is awful. Tip: do not use any initial booster. They destroy the pre-defined sequence of three jellies and it will not be possible to hit the skulls. It’s very hard to open the board. Infused my last UFO to complete it. Good luck everyone 🍀

Sunny in Buffalo said...

Great tip for 10,577, just won "daily win" included 1 hour stripe/wrap, ruined the start, will wait til it expires, thanks & good luck to all...

E.M. said...

How can you win 10112 if the fish don't clear the side panels like they do in the video and you don't have a hand switch for 2 balls together. There's no other way to clear them,sideways stripes don't work either. So fed up and getting bored with this game. Stopped being fun.

Pat said...

Since the game ends December 7, I think the levels are designed for us to quit on our own, like Right Now!

Pat said...

The creators of CC want us to quit on our own. That is why the levels are so difficult even with boosters. I GOT THE MESSAGE! I Q u I t!

Flippenheck said...

Need help for 10663 please

Flippenheck said...

Any tips for10663, except wait Mt time for luck lol
