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

«Oldest ‹Older 601 – 800 of 2179 Newer› Newest»Holy cannoli, done thru 10,865. No videos for 2 days but I amassed 70 gold bars, anyone else w/o videos? Good luck everyone. ..
Making no indent on 10951. Help please
Terrible episode. Only possible because I had won chocolate box and episode race bars. Be careful with #10893. Very difficult and “trapped”. The last cherrie on left side drops on the right which means you have to clear all fences on board. If you are short of bars it is possible to complete it with a lucky board combining CB/CB, CB/Wraps or W/W.
Hi Sunny: videos available although sometimes very different of the boards we have now. Good luck everyone 🍀
Hi Luis: sorry for confusion, I'm no longer getting in-game videos (ex) free starting booster, extra lives, etc. Your'e right about level videos, most are different than boards we get now, good luck! Stuck on 10,866 :(
Still struggling with 10951, help please
Whew! King gave a present, in-game videos are back, meaning "sweet cinema", extra life, extra moves (up to 6) & free booster to start a level, tks King!
10018 and beyond. Posting for luck
Still struggling with 10954, help please
Getting nowhere near with 10954.need help please
Stuck on #10919. Absolutely impossible.
Congratulations Sunny. King is very generous with you. I haven’t got any of those boosters back. 😂😂
Good luck everyone 🍀
Done thru 10,880, now stuck on 10,881, need more moves/lucky board, good luck to all & Go KC Chiefs!
I spent one hour playing #10927 and not even close. Almost impossible to get the last key and if you succeed to do that there are no more moves available to clear the board. Totally insane.
Enough for today. I’m going to follow the results of my country elections and as Sunny says: Go Bills 🤞🤞🤞
Good luck everyone and don’t stress to much. It’s only a game.🍀
Still struggling with 10954
10954 has me in tears, help needed please
10637 IS IMPOSSIBLE WITH REDUCED MOVES
10722 is impossible. Posting for luck please
Done thru #10940. All levels of this episode can be done without extra moves but you have to be patient and wait for “that” lucky board. Coconut wheel and check mark are very useful. Good luck everyone 🍀
And here we go again with 10957.Help please
Wow, you weren't kidding about 10,893, don't waste a UFO, won't break "fences", used 1 hand & 1 hammer just to end the madness! Feel so far behind, good luck...
Cannot break through 10960.help please
Getting nowhere near with 10960. Help needed please
Struggling with 10960, help needed please
What in-game videos? I have not seen then!
Help with 10966 please
Done thru 10,895, now stuck on 10,897, looks tricky, getting closer, good luck to all still hanging in!
Struggling with 10966
Making no inroads with 10966. Help needed please
Done thru #10955. One of the most difficult episodes so far. 2 or 3 levels requiring extra moves. Be careful because UFO can be totally useless. They like snakes and don’t hit them. On levels with keys, hammers can be a very good option. Coconute wheel and check mark can also help but before deciding to use booster see the rational of the level. You have plenty of time to take that decision because levels are not doable on first try. Good luck everyone 🍀
Level 10897 is really impossible......
Yeah! Done thru 10,910 with the help of winning "chocolate box" 1 UFO & 20 gold bars & timed boosters, although I don't start with boosters anymore as they are powerless against these levels, time for a break, good luck to all...
10966 is breaking my heart.no point in giving me 35 extra moves when I don't have the gold to buy them....what can I Do?????
10966 must be the worst one ever. I cannot see how it can be done without an extremely lucky board please
Finally got 10966 by using all my boosters after getting two sprinkles together, used my one and only space ship about 8 handvawitches and 12 hammers....phew
Levels are totally undoable. For #10957 we need a piñata which means you have to save 29 bars! # 10959 is also impossible. You need to collect five keys and most of the times you get one or even zero. No fun at all😂😂😂😂keep suffering with this one and waiting for a miracle 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Now need help with 10972 please
Done thru 10,925. Fish booster helped in 10,919 & 10,921, easier than last episode, good luck to all!
Need help for 10982 please
Done thru #10970. I didn’t find #10966 that difficult. Done on my second try using one hammer 🙏😁To me #10957 was the worst. It “ate” almost all my bars after playing hundred times without coming close. Never succeeded to clear more than a half of the board. Good luck everyone🍀
Slowing down. Bars are almost sold out and game is now more suffering than relaxing.😂😂😩😩
Done thru 10,940 with the help of timed boosters from winning "fantastic 5" & "chocolate box" during the episode, got 20 gold bars & 1 UFO too, yeah! Good luck to all...
Still struggling with 10982. Help please
I’m sorry you are no longer helping those over 10,000 I will miss your helpful hints. God bless❤️
Help for 10983 please
Thanks for 10983, now for 10984 please
This is not to demotivate you but the episode that begins on #10971 is completely impossible. I passed that level after one hundred tries using the fish booster but all my episode race competitors are still there. Next level is not doable with the number of moves we have now.
Maybe Flippenheck can share with us the tactic to pass those levels.
Good luck everyone 🍀
Heeeeeeeeelp! For level 10422 pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease!!!!!!!
Done thru 10,955 with the help of timed boosters from " fantastic 5", hence no trouble with 10,957 or 10,959 but now stuck on 10,960, good luck everyone!
Still struggling with 10984
Done thru 10,970. Fish booster helped (tks Luis) in 10,971 & 10,972. Now stuck on 10,974, tough to get the cherries unlocked, good luck to all...
Great performance Sunny😉👍but if you think the “bad times are gone” wait until # 10984. I think I’ll be stuck there till the end of my life. Awful.
Need help in 10226! Any ideas??
Posting for luck!
Done thru #10985. After one hundred tries on #10984 I decided to use the precious 10 bars. Good luck everyone 🍀
Yep, 10,984 is crazy, looks like a 35 extra moves, gold bars, lucky board kind of level, need luck too!
Done thru 10,985. Used 1 UFO on 10,984, posting for luck may have helped too, wrap/CB is the key! Good luck to all, you'll need it...time for a break!
How can someone appear on your leaderboard with 290 gamers completed and only three days in. How can that be fair.Also start an episode race and someone is five ahead of you at start????
Rant over!!!Help needed for 11002 please
Done thru #11007 trying to take the most from one hour of free lives. No prizes at all (at least to me) on #11000😂😂😂. # 11008 is another nightmare. Time to make a … long break and get rid of this madness. Good luck everyone 🍀
Done thru 11,000, now stuck on 11,006. I too took advantage of timed boosters from " fantastic 5" & chocolate box win, also hoped for reward upon reaching 11,000 but no. Time for a break, good luck to the remaining group!
Help needed for 11016 please
Just when I thought I was rolling, 11,011 comes along, good thing I have a stash of gold bars :(
Done thru 11,015 with the help of timed boosters from "daily win", beware 11,017 was dreadful, good luck everyone!
Need help for 11023 please
Hello CC
Concern level 10372
Hante only 23 moves
Videos shows 30
So can’t get it close
Posting for lucky board
Thanks CC
Done thru 11,045 thanks to timed boosters, it's lonely out here :( suppose I'll take a break from checking in for a while, in the meantime good luck!
Struggling with 11023
Need help for 11033 please
Tip for 11,054: careful to add the coconut wheel, mine got stuck in far right column blocking cherry exit, game over (you'll see when you get there), now stuck on 11,072, good luck everyone!
Help needed for 11073 please
Done thru 11,105, easiest episode in a long time or I was super duper lucky with some timed boosters, good luck to the remaining few!
Uau!!! One episode in less than two hours🙏🙏🙏 King is certainly on vacations😁😁😁😁Enjoy King. Good luck everyone 🍀
Congratulations to my team, the Los Angeles Rams, for winning Superbowl XVI!
I`m also just back from vacation. I'm only at level 10745 and trying to catch up. I don't play everyday, preferring to collect free boosters and gold bars before making a run for the episode race when I feel I have enough of them.
10889 help please. I need a lucky board
Welcome back Rick 😁. Be patient because you are going to face a tough task til #11000. After that things seem to become easier. The key of success is now a good booster management. Bars and flying disks are crucial in this phase. People don’t share many tips but I think it will be useful to see some of our comments above. Good luck. Done thru #11120 but slowing down and playing only once a day. Good luck everyone 🍀
Nice to see Rick & Luis back, I'm stuck on 11,115, levels have gotten easier or just lucky, I have amassed lots of bars & boosters, saving for that future evil level, good luck to all, congrats to the Rams!
Sunny and Luis, did you receive a set of boosters when you passed level 11000 similar to the one in level 10000?
I have accumulated also 469 gold bars by winning some episode races.
No special boosters for reaching 11,000, "bah humbug". I have just over 200 bars, saving for the future, good luck!
Sunny, there is De Luxe Chocolate Box every other day. In one of the tasks, you have to use 3 UFOs or 2 Pinatas (which is no no for me) or pass 5 NEW levels or pass 4 NEW levels on your First Try. This is the most challenging of the 4 tasks. The others (like collect a higher number of orange, blue, or green candies, fish, or color bombs is easier.) If I have to do the hardest task, I might as well finish the episode to collect the gold bars in the Episode Race. There is also a Weekly Contest that counts only new levels. I am leading on one right now with 30 (for 2 episodes I finished) the other player second to me has 21. If he or she completes more levels to pass me at 30, I can always play more new levels to pass the player again. This is the advantage of falling behind. I have more new levels to play in front of me.
I forgot to mention that the rewards for the De Luxe Chocolate Box are one UFO, 10 gold bars, I hour life and 30 minutes of Colof Bomb.
Hello CC
Cc level 10408
This level is very different as videos shows
Really different
Some have no keys , or not th same game
This is not fair
So gonna stop definitely
Bye bye
I agree, Rick, that the silver lining to falling behind in levels is that I can win a few boosters in the Weekly Contest (new levels only). I'm currently stuck on 11121, although it seems that I'll be able to get there with the extra moves -- once they kick in for this level. Good luck everyone! Fred, I hope you don't give up (although I've considered it myself). We're all pretty much in the same boat: playing each level over and over again until the extra moves start or a really lucky board comes our way.
Went nicely through an episode but now come a cropper with 11137
Now 11138 causing me bother
10909. Posting for a lucky board please. Impossible
10912 posting for luck please
Dreadful episode😂😂😂😂After playing countless times #11140 and #11142 I am stuck again on #11143. I am sure King returned from his marvelous vacations and definitely doesn’t like us. Good luck everyone 🍀
Need help for 11146 please
Struggling with 11146. Help needed please
Done thru 11,135. Adding the fish booster in 11,134 helped get it, good luck everyone...
Thank you for all of the hard work you have done for this game. I have referred to your blog many times. I will miss you! Linda Miller
Needs help for 11149 please
I finally reached the dreaded 11146. Agree whole-heartedly with Flippenheck — H E L P!!!!!
Agree with Luis 11,140 is a stinker! Help...
I don’t want to discourage you. Be patient and resilient because the worst is yet to come. #11149 is absolutely insane. After playing more than 50 times I never succeeded to get all the keys that allow us to open the board. I decided to risk and spend 10 of my precious bars 🙏. Good luck everyone 🍀
Hi Elektra. I took advantage of the many levels ahead of me for falling behind. I said beforehand that I was leading a player 30 to 21 in the Weekly Race. He played some more levels and passed me with 38. So I played another episode and passed him with 45. We changed lead several times but I finally prevailed an hour ago by winning 90 to 72 to claim the boosters that go with the win. I am at level 10820, still far away from you guys.
King increased the rewards for winning the Weekly Race by doubling the hands and adding some other boosters but reduced the rewards for second by removing the hammer. Now for placing second, you only get a color bomb and a fish. To me it's not worth it to play the Weekly Race if you won't win it, so I will go all out to win first place.
Need help for 11158 please
Sorry, the one I am referring to in my previous comment as Weekly Race should be Weekly Contest.
I too have reached the "dreaded" 11,146, yikes! Good luck...
Here's how I got 11,146, CB/wrap was the key, perhaps a lucky board as well, good luck to all!
Agree with Luis, what strategy for 11,149, other than lucky board, crazy! Do you just work the bottom of the board & forget about the keys?
Stuck on #11161 but let me point out that all levels are crazing difficult and almost all them require robust boosters. This episode is even more tough than the previous one.
Hi Sunny: regarding #11149 I think it’s mandatory to work the top of the board because you need to get the keys but as I said I lost my patience and spent 10 bars. Good luck everyone 🍀
Only tip I can give for 11158 is to keep trying until you get the extra 35 lives which you have to have 10 bars to get. Use this when you can be sure that you have cleared enough to finish it off
Thank you for all your hard work over the years
#11161 is a nightmare. Ignore the keys and try to clear the board as much as you can and … pray 🙏 In my opinion is definitely another 35 extra moves level.
#11162 is an easy one and #11163 is difficult but doable without robust boosters. Helps a lot if you use the initial boosters.
# 11164 seems to be another stinker one😂😂😂Good luck everyone 🍀
10126 I’ve played for weeks cannot complete is it really possible to successfully complete it?
Thanks Luis, however I am on day 2 of 11,149, sometimes no more keys drop even when top exits are cleared, then I'm out of moves, I have amassed 35 extra moves, waiting to "strike" with 10 gold bars, wish me luck or I'm done :(
Done thru #10165. Very very tough.
On #10164 pay attention to the rainbow twist on the right side and if necessary use an hammer when one of them is “purple”. If the chain is broken it will be impossible to hit all of them. Difficult level.
Hi Sunny: your level is really tough and is also a trap. If you are short of bars do not risk unless it is absolutely evident that you can complete the level. Good luck 🍀
11161 is proving a bummer. Help please
10936 posting for lucky board please
Struggling with 11161.
My comment above should apply to #11164 and not #10164. Good luck everyone 🍀
Adding to what Luís wrote about 11164: try to get rid of the cream covering the rainbow twists first and thus prevent it from breaking into more parts which are then much harder to clear.
After 3 days I cracked 11,149 using 10 gold bars for 35 extra moves, FYI there are 5 keys to get but after getting 4 if you have bars/extra moves that's the time to use them! Fish help in 11,151, 11,152 is also dreadful, but 11,153 seemed easy, happy to be moving on with the group, thanks for the tips & good luck to all...
Level 10057 is so tough. Working hard on this one, and it seems impossible. As always, I'm here in the best place to post for luck.
He’ll CC
Cc level 10450
This level is impossible
There is a problem
Have no boosters left so can’t get it close
No possibility for me
Posting for lucky
Thanks CC
Stuck on #11187😂
Regarding previous episode to me the most difficult levels were 11167 and 11176.
#11167: you need to combine a CB with a stripe or wrap in the beginning of the level otherwise moves will not be enough to get the yellow candies.
#11176: again you need to combine CB with wraps as much as you can.
Good luck everyone 🍀
Done thru 11,165, thanks to timed boosters, yeah! For 11,164 CB/wrap was the key especially if those colors are next to right column with curly things. 11,165 was actually fun for a change or maybe I just got lucky, good luck everyone...Luis you're on "fire", congrats!
Agreed, day 2 on 11,167, likely a gold bar/35 extra move level. No ads to watch for several days, anyone else?
Hi Sunny: I lost movies/ ads some months ago😂😂😂😂
Done thru 11195 and I had bad news for those that are behind. At least 2 levels in this episode require the 35 extra moves but I learnt that this can be different from player to player. All depends on the timed booster each one are playing with in each moment ( F5, chocolate box, daily win sticker,…). So, try to take the most of those timed boosters and …. Good luck everyone 🍀
11,176 got the lucky board, no boosters, 1 spare move, now stuck on 11,178, good luck to the remaining few!
11212 is proving a nightmare and waiting for 35 extra moves so keep your gold bars for this one folks. Does anyone know how many games you have to play before the countdown for the 35 extra moves come in to play. I feel I have played over 100 times already!!!!
Hello CC
Cc level 10452
There’s a problem with this level
Can’t get it close
3 days ! I tried
So no booster left
So no help
Posting for lucky board
Thanks CC
Done thru 11,180 with the help of timed boosters, CB/wrap are the key for 11,181 & 11,182. Good luck moving on everyone...
How are people getting through level 11212.cannot get close enough to risk losing my precious gold bars for those extra 35 moves. Posting for luck please
Finally completed 11212. Cannot give any tips if you don't get a lucky board just have to work up to those 35 extra moves and hopefully you have the gold bars to get them. Use them wisely though as I foundtheyveerevno use to me if I still had around 100 to clear
Here we go again for 11214!!!!!
Sunny and Luis, thanks to your tips. I passed the dreaded 10893 on my first try. I could have completed all the levels in the episide on my first try if I did not mis-swiped in 10885.
For the Weekly Contest, it looks like the rewards are getting better and more as you win them. I won the last 2 since I got back from vacation. Now there are 6 hands, 3 lollipops, and a pinata among other prizes. I have to complete 5 episodes to win the first one and 4 episodes to win the second time. It's a good thing I am behind and have many episodes still to play for the Weekly Contest.
I should have said in my comment before that I completed 6 episodes (90) levels for my first win and 5 episodes (60) for my second win. In addition, I was able to collect 275 gold bars by winning all the Episode Races.
Now 11222 has me stumped. Help please
Congratulations Rick for your performance. Collect and save bars is a very good strategy. Believe me, you will need all of them.
Tips are now very easy: timed booster and extra moves are the only solution for at least 3 levels per episode😂😂😂
Done thru #11225. Crazy hard episode. #10212/214/222 are the worst and need everything I said before. Initial booster also help although don’t solve the problem.
Good luck everyone 🍀
11222 is another nightmare. Help please
Wow, Luis. Malayo ka na. Nasa 10910 pa lang ako.
11222 is just not doable....without a ton of boosters and you have to have gold bars to buy those extra lives. Help please
Tks for your kind words Rick 😉😉😉. Done thru 11240. Finally a relaxing episode with only one difficult level 🙏. No more levels available👍. Good luck everyone 🍀
Help needed for 11230 please
Hats off to Luis, you're the champ! I'm stuck on 11,194 thus far, good luck...
Done thru 11,195. Was rolling along til 11,203, tip, don't add starting boosters, they may be under "jelly" when the board opens, useless then, good luck to all...
Hey Luis, since you have passed the latest level available in 11240, is King still putting out 3 new episodes every Wednesday?
Hi Rick: the answer is yes. We are completely dependent on bars and timed boosters. Episode #11255/270 is brutal. 4 levels requiring the 35 extra moves but let me point out that I was playing without any booster and being so things can be completely different for you if at that time you can count on that and if, for example, you can begin a level combining 2 CB. Today I decided not to play once I have only one episode till Wednesday. Good luck everyone 🍀
Luis is right, I zipped thru to 11,225 with the help of timed boosters from "chocolate box" & "win streak", won 20 gold bars too, still have 4 episodes ahead but will stop for a couple days, good luck everyone...
Help please for 11265
Forgot to add, I have videos/ads back! Sweet cinema, watch an ad prior to game start for a booster, & watch ads for up to 6 extra moves after you fail a level, hooray!!!
Just came out of a nightmare 11265 and headlong straight into another in 11266. Help needed please
Hello CC
Cc level 10482
This level is impossible with 20 moves
Videos shows more and this is not fair
So need a great help
Posting for lucky
Thanks CC
Help needed for 11266 please
Still struggling with 11266. Help please
11266 finally done. I have no tips, just keep plugging away until you get those extra 35 moves
Now 11269...here we go again!!!
Done thru #11285. Episode in line with the previous one with some very difficult levels. Bars are crucial and sources to obtain it are very few. So it’s easy to antecipate the conclusion for this dilemma😂😩. Tips are now almost useless. #11284 is one of those difficult levels. Forget the top of the board and try to reach the bottom as soon as possible. Good luck everyone 🍀
Done thru 11,255. As Luis said episode 11,225-11,240 had no "hard" levels so easier than what we are used to. Helps to have "sweet cinema", chocolate box & ads back, good luck...
Cannot make any indent on 11269. Help needed please
Finished 11285. I was going to give up playing Candy Crush at the time Rick stopped. I found myself 26 episodes from the top and was not enjoying playing. The levels were extremely difficult because of the layered candies that you could not remove without special boosters. I have never spent money to purchase boosters and it became very hard to earn boosters. However, with a bit of luck I won some episodes and earnt some gold bars which I swapped for pinatas. I could never have progressed without pinatas. Candy Crush should never be like this, it should be like the early days where there was an element of skill required. In two instances I had to use two pinatas to progress. I have no boosters left except 249 coconut wheels which you seldom can use anymore. and Candy Crush makes it extremely difficult to earn them.
Can't figure how to get more key in 11275. Help please
Finally found the key portal in centre..Happy days after that lol
Hi Deb, nice to hear from you again and, wow, you even passed the latest level! Like you, I was thinking of quitting for good when I ran out of boosters and gold bars. However, I was also able to win many Episode Races (my streak now is 27) and has accumulated 863 gold bars so far. I have also amassed a stack of 27 piñatas, 23 UFOs, 102 hammers, and 119 hand boosters. With this arsenal, I could probably complete all the levels also to 11285, the latest, but I rather not. I enjoy playing the Weekly Contest and savor winning it. It is still one of the few contests that King is giving prizes. (King does not give prizes or rewards if you finish the latest level.) Besides, I have to spare some levels in case I have to play them in order win the Weekly Contest, so I will be behind for a while. I am now only in level 10986.
I forgot to mention that I haven’t spent a penny of my own money (and never will) to give to King.
My style of play is to start a level with a CB combo, that is why I use a lot of hands to get two CBs together. I only do that if the CBs are 2 rows or 2 columns apart. If they are far away, I use the CBs in some other ways. It seems that my tactic is working well because from levels 10844 to 10985 (141 levels), I was not able to complete on my first try only 4 levels (10885, 10902, 10926, and 10967) Level 10926 closed on me twice while playing it and I got an OOPS! in level 10967 (I don’t know why). I don’t try to start with a CB combo all the the time especially if most of the board is locked. A CB combo works best if there are any licorice swirls and/or blockers on the board.
Stuck on 10021 for days. Can I still post for a lucky board here? 🤪🤣
Done thru 11,270. 11,266 was tough, used 10 gold bars for extra moves, then won them back thru chocolate box, yeah, catching up, good luck everyone!
Sunny, you are right. No booster whatsoever is given when you completed level 11000.
Hello CC
Ça level 10492
This level is really impossible
So give up
Bye bye
Yes, Sunny and Rick -- very disappointing that no boosters were awarded for reaching 11000.
And Sunny, you are catching up fast!! The same thing happened to me. For some reason (I honestly am not doing anything different) both of the last 2 weeks I've made it to the waiting room. I forgot the downside of that: very hard to earn points for my Fantastic 5 team; can't win new levels for the chocolate box line that requires it; no way to compete for the Weekly Contest; suffering with crazy hard Star Tournament levels while in the waiting room. Having said that, it does feel like I've accomplished something! Good luck to all!
Well I made it to 11,285 with the help of timed boosters from chocolate box win, fantastic 5 win & episode race win, feels like Christmas! Haven't made it to the end in months. Like Rick I'm stashing my gold bars for the future. Also won 5 hours of CB & wrap/stripe for collecting blue skate things. Congrats to Luis & Elektra, back in couple days, good luck to all...
I got a surprise from King that I won a contest and as a result I won 50 gold bars and some boosters. It is not clear what the contest is all about because I hit the "CLAIM" button right away. Does anybody win the same thing and can tell me what is the contest for?
In the Weekly Contest, one player has 138 levels already while I have only 45. I will just let him win this one because it looks like he is just in the 200s (he has a 200 banner). He has more and much easier levels to play with than me. I will just save the new levels for next Weekly Contest. That's one problem with the Weekly Contest. Players can be at different levels, unlike in the episode race, the players have to play the same levels. Am I right?
Hey Rick, I was surprised to win 50 gold bars a while back too, had something to do with gold nuggets/candy necklace that turn into gold bars. There was also a contest where if you pass 80 levels in a given time frame you won 50 gold bars, confusing but that's all I remember. Taking your advice to slow down to win stuff, good luck this week everyone...
10099... I've played about 10099 times. Sigh. Posting for luck 🍀
Thanks, Sunny, I think it has to do with passing 80 levels at a given time because I completed 8 episodes (120 levels) in about a week for the Weekly Contest.
For those playing the Weekly Contest, does King still give a hand and a hammer for seond place? Only the color bomb shows in the the prize box now. I don't if the other boosters still with it and just did now show because of limited space in the box.
I finished through level 11300. It seemed to go very easily (this last episode) but I had so much help from hours of free boosters for winning the blue ice skate contest, plus super help from F5 team boosters, etc. It made me realize how much assistance you get from a good bundle of opening boosters, like was common in the old days. (Rick, how do you start with 2 CBs together? I've got about 100 of them but l know that if I use them to start every level, I'll run out pretty quickly. But even if you do start with one, I don't have enough hands to make sufficient switches to get a second CB next to the first.) So I've basically been relying on the 30+ extra moves to win levels, using up precious gold bars as judiciously as possible. So this last episode was a real shock to realize that, alas, I'll never have enough boosters. Anyway, I also had lucky boards, and used 40 gold bars for extra moves, and 2 saucers and 3 hands. Also got 7 of the levels on first try! Wishing you all good luck.
Hi Elektra,
In order for an automatic color bomb to kick in to start a level, you have to win first on your first try 5 times in a row you. Then, you start with a color bomb, 3 additional moves, and a striped/wrapped candy. The rewards don't change after the fifth win. Before, King gives 2 color bombs and 2 striped/wrapped candy as you continued the streak, but not anymore.
To get a CB combo, I check the Color Bomb to include a CB from my own stash before starting the level. You can also watch an ad to get a booster but it is tricky. Sometimes even if you select a color bomb, you might get something else, a fish for instance. There is also a “jackpot” box in the choices in that you will get a color bomb, a striped/wrapped candy and 3 additional moves at the same time.
When there are 2 color bombs on the board, you can use a hand or a hammer to get them together. In my case, I have to continue the first-try steak to continue to get a color bomb. If the streak stops, you have to start again from the beginning and have to win 5 times in a row on your first try.
One time I wasted many gold bars and boosters including piñatas and UFO to keep my streak going. In that level, I Just need 3 Licorice Swirls to complete a level. I used the boosters in the hope of getting the 3 Licorice Swirls to fall on the board but they did not fall. When I replayed the level, I used a check candy to get additional Licorice and passed it. But the damage has been done and the boosters and gold bars were wasted. Anyway I learned my lesson and I won’t let that happen again.
Another trick you can do is to make a CB/striped combo. If you have a color bomb, you can use the Stripe Painter booster and “paint” any candy adjacent to the CB (usually the most in number) into a Stripe. When you switch them, all the candy with the same color of the one you painted turns into stripes and fires. The only thing is that you have to buy the Stripe Painter boosters because you cannot get them as a reward from a game or contest. I wish Candy Crush has a Wrapped Painter, too, so that you can make a CB/Wrapped combo which is more destructive.
I am tempted to join you guys (Luis, Sunny, Deb, Elektra, and others) in the forefront finishing the latest levels. However, I need to reserve the levels to win Weekly Contests. As I have said, King does not give you anything in finishing the latest levels but gives you rewards for winning the Weekly Contests. I will catch up eventually but will stay behind in the meantime.
Once there are only 3 episodes available per week and we need to take the most of episode race and chocolate box (weekly contest is out of question) is necessary to adjust our tactic. Pay attention to #11299 because I’m not sure that 35 extra moves are enough to complete the level. Besides that it’s a very easy episode.
Att Rick: we are not in the forefront. There are lots of people ahead😔😔😔
Stuck on 10042. Need more moves. Definitely posting for a lucky board.
Done thru 11,300. Agree with Luis an "easier" episode except for 11,299, used 1 UFO to crack it. My "fantastic 5" has been on fire, 3 wins in 2 days. 11,302 is tricky also, if you can start with CB/CB combo you get the 2 yellow keys on the 1st move otherwise you have to rely on those snake things & clearly not enough moves, you'll see when you get there, good luck everyone...
Done thru #11315. It’s not a very difficult episode if you ignore #11310. This level is absolutely awful.
Good news: you can now win 40 bars in the episode race instead of the previous 25👍😉. Good luck everyone 🍀
Help needed for 11296 please
Done thru 11,315. Agree with Luis, 11,310 took 1 UFO & 6 extra moves from watching 3 ads. 11,314 is also very hard, took extra moves from gold bars. Won 10 gold bars from chocolate box & got UFO back from fantastic 5, so it was a wash! Need 2 more stickers for next UFO so slowing down, back in a few days, good luck...
Luis, I don't know about the gold bars but I just completed an episode all on the first try and won the Episode Race but got only 25 gold bars. The next episode will be also for 25 gold bars.
Hi Rick. Maybe it depends on the winnings in a row. I achieved my tenth consecutive victory and won 40 bars with a promise of more 40 if I win next episode race. I’m adjusting my game to timed boosters and chocolate box and being so third episode is postponed for next week. Good luck everyone 🍀
Hi Luis, I have 27 consecutive Episode Race wins in a row but still get 25 gold bars. The only thing I can think of is that you are playing in a higher level (11300s and up). Does anybody else win 40 gold bars from the Episode Race?
Hi Rick. If you go to Candy Crush Saga Facebook Group you will see several people reporting the 40 bars regardless their ranking in the game. I have no explanation for that but as I said some weeks ago, opportunities, rewards and even the difficulty of each level are not the same for all players. Only King could explain that but I have lots of doubts he wants to do so. Good luck everyone 🍀
Day 2 on 11,327, save your gold bars for this one! Also 11,320 & 11,323 took countless tries, good luck...
11329 the level has 20 moves ,2 days passed ,couldn’t even get just haft of jellies,maybe it’s time to quit
Agree with Hank, 11,329 is impossible, initial boosters are powerless, plan on being here for awhile, good luck, we'll need it :(
I just won the hardest Weekly Contest. I have to complete 180 levels to win this one. I was leading with 45 levels and this player zoomed past me with 157. I thought of giving the contest to this player but I figured I still have a lot of levels to play, so I started to complete the levels in the last two days and eventually beat him or her 180 to 157. As a result, I am now at level 11136 but still behind.
Luis and Sunny, thanks to your tips on the dread 11149. I passed it on my first try (with 11 moves to go) as well as the other levels in the episode.
Done thru 11,330 adding the check mark booster helped here & on 11,327 which I found extra difficult. 11,329 was most frustrating, used 10 gold bars for 30 extra moves, perhaps a lucky board as well. Congrats on your progress Rick & good luck to all...
Done thru #11330 also. Very tough episode. I played with a lot of timed booster and on top of that I had to spend 30 bars😂. The good news is that I won the episode race and the correspondent 40 bars🙏. Be careful with #11329. Crazing hard. Extra moves can not be enough and so make sure you have a backup, an UFO for example. Just in case. I used the 35 extra moves and in order to not jeopardize my 10 bars I used a hammer to combine 2 CB. Happy to get rid of this nightmare. Good luck everyone 🍀
I finally got back the additional moves if you watch ads, but it's down to 5 moves now compared to 6 moves before. My Episode Race winning streak is now at 40 but I still get 25 gold bars, not 40. I'm now at level 11181.
11329 posting for luck please. Impossible level
I keep reading in this blog about ads and videos for boosters and extra moves, but I have never had them.
I play on iPhone on the latest version of the CC and for some weeks now the chocolate box and episode race are no longer available (my winning strike was over 50 and provided me with a nice stash of bars), not to mention the winning bot/string which has been gone ever longer.
The only regular ad-ons are the Daily win, Fantastic five and Booster wheel, Weekly contest is sometimes there, sometimes not...
Am I missing something here?
Hi MP (and others), I've never had the "watch-an-ad-and-get-a-goodie" thing. As others have said, this game is SO different depending on the platform and device. It's a mystery that, even so, we've still managed to find community. I have modified my strategy now that I've been in the waiting room for 2 weeks running. It took me from September to now to get there and I thought, "Yay!!! I've arrived!" But the problem is that when you're in the waiting room the "Star Tournament" is one super-hard level after another. I managed to finish 18 yesterday, which bagged me 3 boosters. I've decided that it's not worth it because of the down-side of having to wait for new levels: (1) can't complete the best of the chocolate boxes because you have to win 2 or 4 NEW levels (even more for some of you); (2) can't win (meaningful) points for my F5 team; (3) can't compete in episode race. Like Luis said, for me the weekly contest isn't useful because if you're limited to 45 levels you'll never win. So I'm gonna slow down -- but can I stop myself from playing??????????? -- because I netted more with the episode races, full chocolate boxes, etc. Getting ready to start this week's levels: I'm at 11331. Good luck to all!! P.S. Rick, thank you for the thorough answer to my question about how you start with double CBs.
Correction: I should have said that I finished 18th place in Star Tournament, not that I completed 18 levels.
"Welcome back Wed" everyone, Rick I still get 6 extra moves after watching 3 videos, Mezzanine 11,329 is brutal I used 1 UFO just to get thru, Elektra, your posts always make me chuckle. If you thought 11,332 was tricky just wait til 11,334...good luck this week everyone...
Need help for 11332 please
No kidding, Sunny, 11334 is horrible. No skill involved- not that I could tell anyway. Just try to keep up with the ridiculously aggressive spawners. I seemed to have slightly better results when I stuck to clearing one side as much as possible first. But that wasn’t the case when I finally won. I also tried to start with a cb, wrap/stripe but it didn't make a bit of difference, so my advice is don't waste them. I finally won using 24 extra moves and I needed all but 7of them. I went for it because by the time I ran out of all the regular moves I only had 3 rapid rainbows left to collect. In other words, after all those attempts I finally got my lucky board. Onward! Good luck to all.
Tips so far, for what it's worth...11332, 11334 & 11340 CB/wrap was the key. In 11339 place the frog in the top 4 left squares 4 times, it's the only way to get those waffle things. Now stuck on 11341 another "lucky board" level, good luck...
Hello CC
cc level 10533
This level,is really impossible
5 days to get it close is too much
No boosters left
So it’s time to give up
Level 11341 moves reduced to 26 ,very restricted level ,didn’t make a dent at the bottom after 50 plays,ran out of golds as well
11347 is another seemingly impossible level. Posting for luck please
11351 impossible. Posting for luck please
Done thru 11,345, used 10 gold bars in 11,344 then won them back on episode race, now stuck on 11,347, might be easier if you can move far right/left cherry toward center so they're not above all that licorice , we'll see, good luck everyone...
Level 11355 impossible Posting for luck please
