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 1001 – 1200 of 2179 Newer› Newest»Hi Mike, funny how after I said that I beat it right away. The only thing I can suggest is try to break the blockers a couple of levels down before engaging the coconut wheels. but what you really need is once you’ve switched the two sprinkled candies at the beginning is a really good board otherwise it’s just impossible, not much to work with. I hope you have much better luck than I did, now I’m stuck on 11545. Just such few moves with lots to clear…. Certainly a much harder streak than the last one! Good luck!
Level 11533 is impossible even with boosters.....
Level 11536 is another impossible level. Somebody said that this episode is easy....yeah right. Only goldbars help move on to next level.
I have been stuck on 11545 for 2 days now. Of course two weeks ago it had 30 moves, now it has 20. I feel sorry for the people that are two weeks behind us it could be down to 10 moves! Lol
Certainly Not using my gold bars on his one, because I can’t even get close, and the last 40 bars I won I never got 😡same with my fab four winnings I never seem to get those either ☹️ 🤯
Andruzz, I share your frustration, they all seem impossible,Eventually king does let you win, but they do dictate every move. It’s very frustrating, and so Calculated. Not sure why I keep continuing with this game because it certainly doesn’t relieve the stress out of your life it makes it more stressful. I’m finding the word games much more attractive and more stimulating for the brain! 🙃
Yep, day 2 stuck on 11,545, waiting for the lucky board is all we can do, good luck & happy Easter!
I won the just-concluded Weekly Contest but no piñata among the prizes. The next contest does not have one either.
A few days ago I earned 3 sets of boosters by collecting 12500 orange candies. King changed my go-to level (8328) for collecting orange candies (good also for collecting blue and green candies). When the level is completed, candies continue to fall, creating a cascade that last to an hour because there are only 3 colors of candies. What King did was to add purple and red candies when the level is completed. Having 5 colors of candies instead of just 3 stops the cascade. I could have played it just 3 times at most to collect the 12500 orange withnthe cascade, but it took me to play it about 12 to collect the 12500 as a result of adding the 2 colors.That is not suprising since King is very good at making things more difficult for us.
Hello CC
Cc level 10683
Can’t get it close, very very difficult
Need a great help
Posting for lucky board
Thanks CC :)
Dolce/Sunny - they say misery loves company so here I am at 11545. I gave in and used my last 10 gold bars on 11542 after trying over 50 times and not getting close. Of course, the time I got closest (down to like 17 blockers) was when I gave in and bought the extra moves (only needed like 8 or 9 but I saw no way out).
Rick - I noticed the change with the colors couple week ago on 1 of my platforms. As you say, makes the color challenges (I use 8328 and 3309 when it's blue or green) just that much more complicated.
Oh well, back to the grind.
Done thru #11555. Awful episode. At least 4 levels need extra moves. #11554 is a nightmare. Absolutely impossible to open the bottom of the board with the regular moves. Good luck everyone 🍀
Well I got the "lucky board" on 11,545 & launched 1 UFO with a few moves left to be sure! Luis & Rick have warned us about 11,548 & 11,554 so here I go, good luck everyone...
Also, I use 6,000 for chocolate box, bit of scrolling but can be used for lots of items & easy!
Actually didn’t stay on 11548 as long as I thought I would, used all three boosters to start and an UFO at the end.
Good luck all!
Sorry guys if you are having difficulties in some levels although I said they were easy episodes. I also said I passed all the levels of the 3 episodes on my first try. I was able to do that because I started almost every level with CB combo.
11,551 surprised no comments, I have keys & 20 moves, video has no keys & 32 moves, day 2, holy cannoli! Good luck everyone...
Stuck on 11551 as well Sunny, it’s ridiculous the lack of moves… it’s almost insulting we have to wait for a lucky board if there’s such a thing…. ☹️
Got super lucky on the last few but Luis is right about 11,554. We'll likely need gold bars/extra moves to crack the bottom of the board, sorry to say but plan on being here for awhile, good luck...
Thank you for all the help. Zoinks I guess this is the end for me too.🤣😂❤
Done thru 11,555. Used 10 gold bars/35 extra moves & 1 UFO to get past the episode, helped to have videos back if you fail a level for 6 (much needed) extra moves, good luck, til Wednesday...
Right along with you Sunny in Buffalo. I’m not playing the Tournament this time! 🤣
Not sure if the board changed or I got lucky board (or I was brilliant :-)) but first attempt on 11545 I passed it with no boosters and had 4 moves left. Maybe King knows it's my birthday today (nothing surprises me any more) and gave me a present.
Anyway, up to 11551 now - I did get a UFO from the Daily Win - so in order not to get aggravated on my birthday after reading the blog
entries on this level, going to save it until tomorrow.
What kills me is I always seem to get to the last chocolate box, the one with 10 gold bars, where you need 4 first time wins to get the reward and I get to the killer levels (where you need 10 gold bars to pass!).
Enjoy the new levels today - blaze the trail so when I get there, I can benefit from your experiences. Thanks all.
Happy birthday Mike! 🥳🥳🥳🥂🥂
Good old coconut wheel helped on 11,556. Happy Birthday Mike & good luck this week everyone...
11559 is not as easy as it might look…… 🫣☹️
Done thru 11570 all on first try. Won Episode Race and collected 40 gold bars. Since I am away frmom home, I might now play the other episodes until I get back home because I might not able to collect the prizes from the Weekly Contest and the other contests even if I win them. Good luck, everyone.
.
In 11565, if you can start with a CB combo, you can complete it in one move. The only requirement of the level is to clear the 18 marmaladed cherries on the outside columns. A CB combo (or a piñata) will do it.
11,560, save some gold bars for this one! Thanks Rick for your tips, good luck!
In 11560, there are a lot of candies and blockers covered by crystals. Try to create combos, especially CB/wraps to cLear many of the Toffee Swirls.
I passed this on my first try because I was able to start with a CB combo. If you check initial boosters, they will be placed inside the Rainbow Twist in the middle bottom, so they are easy to bring together. If you can't add boosters, you first move should be to make a match inside the Rainbow Twist, which will clear it.
In 11568, the red candies are order-locked by the Wonderful Wrappers on the bottom row, so try to collect the Wonderful Wrappers ASAP. Horizontal wraps will also appear on either end of the bottom row to collect the red candies. To save on moves, I have to hammer several horizontal stripes there, instead of waiting for the vertical stripes from the outer columns. Remember you have to collect 55 red candies to complete the order. Note, a check candy booster cannot be added on this level.
Ugh! Stuck on 11563. It looks like it should be easy(ish), notwithstanding the uber-nightmare designation, but I’ve been at it for awhile. I managed to win 11558, 11561, and 11562 on first try, but I had 1 hour Fab5 sprinkle/wrap for mucho assistance. I used 30 gold bars for extra moves on 3 levels 11557, 11559, and 11560. I started to panic when it seemed King had taken away the extra moves for gold bars feature, but happily I was wrong. Good luck everyone. And happy birthday Mike!🎂
Finally got 11563 after watching a YouTube video — they had more moves of course — but I realized I was wasting the double red stripes (which get released from the popper thingies) by combining them too soon when they were still partially fenced in. Plus I really had to slow down to look at both sides more carefully before moving so I could maximize the blue/green poppers. Because of the minimal colors on the sides, it’s easy to think that a move looks good because it creates or blasts a special candy, but when I slowed down I was able to be more strategic. I still needed to use 10 bars but only needed 5 moves.
Thanks Elektra for 11,563 tips, still on it but making better progress...
Tough episode again😂😂 Curiously I found #11566 and #11569 the most difficult levels and almost impossible without extra moves. Anyway, regarding the last one and if you get a very lucky board use an hammer to hit the last key in the bottom of the board and you will save some precious moves. Good luck everyone 🍀
RICK are we playing the same level 11,565? 😂😂 I don’t even have enough moves to get through getting all of the colours before the keys all open, even starting with a combo and a coconut wheel!? I’m not sure how you did that, but kudos to you! 👏👏👏
To Dolce amd others, in 11565, the marmaladed cherries on the outside columns are protected by locked Licorice swirls which shield the cherries from blasts of stripe candies created by the coconut wheel. The Licorice Swirls protect the cherries even if they still locked. The keys to unlock Licorice Swirls are order-locked by different colors of candies. You have to collect the keys first to expose the Licorice Swirls. They you have to clear them so that you can remove the marmalade on the cherries for them to exit.
A CB combo or a piñata will clear the marmalade on the cherries right away making them exit without having to clear the locked Licorice Swirls.
Gotcha! Thank you! I got through it now stuck on 11566 lol! These ones are very tough! I have nothing let for booster or bar! 😩
Stuck on level 11557! The fun is gone on this game! Granted level is impossible. Most levels are impossible and can be passed only by using gold bars or boosters. Is Candy Crush going to make the levels fun again. ☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️
I had to play second episode (#11571/85) today in order to take the most of the one free hour lives and CB of the chocolate box and also the timed boosters won with F5. It’s a little bit easier than the previous one although also with some levels undoable without extra moves. Use the check mark booster and the coconut wheel whenever possible. They are useful. On levels where the frog exists see the video because it’s absolutely crucial to put it in the right place in order to save moves.
On # 11578 play on the right side. You need to clear it in order to get the caramels that open the center of the board.
Good luck everyone 🍀
Hello CC
Cc level 10713
This level is impossible to get it close
Very very frustrating very hard
Need a great help
Posting for lucky board
Thanks CC :)
Hi Rick, yes I still play occasionally, not much point commenting when these ridiculous levels need 35 extra moves to even get close. No skill involved. I check in every day to see if things have improved and collect a few meager boosters. No movies on W-10 or ipad for me.
Windows 10 is still 6 episodes ahead (2 weeks worth) I'm stuck way back on 11557.
Happy crushing,
kik
I haven't played since November. The first month or so I opened the app to collect the free boosters, but I don't do that anymore. Also quit CCSS. I don't miss the stressful Wednesdays and Fridays. Especially not when I read some of the comments here. Haven't read them for a while, but got curious when I saw a post from kik :-)
You have great willpower Ditte! haha
Done thru 11,570, agree with Luis, 11,569 most difficult with given moves, spent 10 gold bars for 35 extra moves, also agree to use coconut & check mark booster whenever/if possible, good luck everyone...
So glad you guys were able to get through 11569 it’s ridiculous! I’m just so tired of playing it over and over. I don’t have enough gold bars anymore, my boosters are pretty depleted, and I’m not giving them a dime. Sorry for complaining, but it’s just so frustrating. Continued luck everyone, have a great weekend with what’s left of it! 🤗
Managed to get through all the really hard levels in 11556-11570 episode without having to use gold bars (since I didn't have any!). Now up to 11573 with bot streak of 14 (I get nervous playing hard levels when I have the streak - although sometimes losing seems to make me concentrate more when not starting with all the boosters).
Anyway, my tip for 11569 is coconut wheel especially if you can get it next to stripe (or wrap if its next to the key column). I was also able to get CB next to yellow key, which made that part easy.
Thanks to all for their birthday wishes, much appreciated as are all of the tips shared here.
Currently leading the egg hunt (although pretty sure no gold bars or pinatas there - maybe a UFO), no chance to win the weekly race as the leader has 65 to my 2nd place 35 and don't have 30 levels left to catch them. No videos on either my Android tablet or my Facebook game to watch. Got new tablet for my birthday, supposedly I can move CC to that and keep account/boosters (current one keeps running out of storage - usually why playing CC - which of course kills current streak when you're playing new level when the crash occurs - argh!).
Good luck to all.
Way to go Mike! Thank you for the tip, I don’t have the coconut option? I will get through it one day. Thanks! ☺️
Done thru #11600. This third episode is “business as usual”. Some very complicated levels and everything depends on timed boosters you are using at the moment. Without CB, wraps and stripes things can be very tough.
On # 11593 do not use the coconut wheels in the beginning. Use a CB and try to put them together. It’s easy to do that. Making a combination of 2 wheels will change all candies of that column into stripes allowing to clear a significant part of the board.
#11599 seems to be undoable without extra moves. Don’t worry with bottom corners. There is no need to clear it.
Good luck everyone 🍀
Just came back from vacation. Done thru 15600. Completed all levels in 3 episodes on first try and won 3 Episode Races.
King cheated me again. Because I'm traveling, I did not have Internet for night and when I did, I tried to claim the Fantastic 5 prizes and it said again "Timed Out".
Kik, thanks for your reply and information.
Till tomorrow for new episodes, Good luck to everyone.
Hello Cc
Cc level 10731
This level is very frustrating very difficult
2 days on this level !
So posting for a lucky board
Thanks Cc:)
Sorry, I meant done thru 11600 in my post, not 15600. My mind is still tired from driving a long way.
Posting for luck for level 10176
I have a new appreciation for the Star Tournament. I finished level 11600 on Sunday and found the last episode brutal. I used up all my (4) flying saucers and (8) hammers, which hasn’t happened to me in years (it seems). I was definitely rushing so I could win (and I did) all 3 episode races (back to 30 gold bars prize each although for a few weeks it was 40). Unlike Rick, even with those 90 gold bars my net was negative since I used 10 gold bars to get extra moves on >9 levels. Anyway, back to Star Tournament, which I started playing on Sunday in the hopes of getting in the top 20 — I’m currently #15!! — so that I’d win a few boosters to start and rebuild my stash. Got a few with chocolate box and various daily spins. Although I cannot come close to most of the 100 (I think; counted them once) different levels in the Tournament, I can win enough to win something. But what I’ve realized these last few days (at last! She’s getting to the point!) is that playing these levels is the perfect way to try and hone my ccs skills and/or finally figure out exactly how frogs (or crystals, sculls, etc.) work. Of course I never use any boosters or spend gbs for extra moves, since that would defeat the purpose. My 2 cents for a Tuesday night. Good luck tomorrow everyone.
11565 is impossible unless you can set off 2 colour bombs together to release the cherries- no need to unlock the blockers.
Done thru 11615 all on first try and won Episode Race.
I have to charge my tablet to continue playing the other episodes but I'll write first tips on some levels.
In 11606, clear the Sour SkulL ASAP. There are double jellies on the middle diagonal. You won't be able to access them until you hear the Sour Skull.
Now with the 10 gold bars I can only buy 5 extra moves. The famous 35 extra moves disappeared. Anybody facing the same problem?
In 11609, try to clear the Toffee Swirls in the middle column because it is also the key dispenser. The keys have to be collected to unlock the cherries to the exits, that is in addition to clearing the jellies.
In 11610, use the grown frog to clear the Toffee Swirls on the top right and lower left squares. Then the blue and yellow candies will replace them. You need to collect a number of yellow and blue candies to unlock the lower right box where the cherry has to exit.
In the 3rd column is a CB dispenser which will help you grow the frog, so make matches underneath for the CBs to appear.
In 11611, clear ASAP the frostings on the outside columns because they order-lock the middle column which contains the Jelly Jars that will unleash the needed jellies. This is probably the hardest level in the episode. In my case when the Jelly Jars release the jellies, I have only 3 moves left. I have to use a piñata to complete this level on my first try.
In 11614, you have to clear the frostings on cols. 2 & 8 to be able to collect the keys that will unlock the outside columns. You also have to clear the frostings off the fish dispensers on the 3 & 7 columns to get the fish. Note that there is a fish order of 5 to pass this level. The fish will also clear the jellies in the boxes on the corners. Using a fish booster initially will definitely help you pass this level.
Done thru 11,585, a little behind but you guys rock! My only tips are coconut wheel & check mark boosters when available, hope to catch up soon...
Luis, I still get more than 5 extra moves with gold bars, thank goodness, however I'm way back stuck on 11,589 for now, positive covid test today so plenty of free time to catch up, good luck everyone...
Done thru 11630, again all levels on first try and won Episode Race.
Oh man, Luis! That's terrible news (not being able to get the 30 extra moves for 10 gbs). Honestly, I don't know if I'd be able to continue playing since I use that feature on MANY levels of each episode. It's the only way that I can win. And I don't have enough gbs to get 5 moves at a clip. I hope you get the feature back and that it's not something that we'll all have to face eventually. Good luck!!!
In 11616, the 3 cherries on the top row are all order-locked by various numbers of crystal candies. You have to collect the crystal candies to unlock the cherries
In 11624, you have to collect the yellow key on the 2nd row to unlock the right side where you have also to collect the green key on the 8th row for the Toffee Swirls to appear, which order-lock the cherries on the middle column. You can use the frog to collect the keys or hammer them to save on moves.
In 11625, you have to destroy the Magic Mixers on the outside columns because they block the Rainbow Rapids on those columns.
In 11628, the first column is order-locked by the yellow candies on the last column. Once you collect 20 yellow candies, blue candies will drop from the first column. You have to collect 20 blue candies to unlock the cake bomb in the middle. The last row has CB dispensers but CBs do not drop right away. Regular candies might drop also instead of CBs. If a CB drops, you can match it with the yellow or blue candies on the outside columns to facilitate collecting them.
This is probably the hardest level in the episode. This is the only level I have to use a piñata in order to pass this on my first try. I did not have to use a UFO in this episode.
Done thru 11645, again all levels on first try and won Episode Race.
Till next Wednesday. Good luck everyone!
In 11635, you have to activate the Wrap Bonbon Blitzes to clear the Toffee Swirls and the jellies under them. Note that the other squares are order-locked by the bonbon Blitzes.
In 11636, once you collected the keys, the locked first column that doglegs to the 4th column will have stripes in them. Switching them (wait till there are 3 stripes in there) will help clear the cake bomb on the right corner.
In 11637, the last column is order-locked by increasing number of Bonbon Blitzes. The snakes (which is also an order by itself) on the 1st column will help. I believe this is the hardest level in the episode. I have to use a piñata and several hammers to collect the needed Bonbon Blitze to pass this level on my first try,
In 11642, the snakes on the 1st column will help to clear the frostings on the last 4 rows. A check candy booster here will help, but you need to collect a lot of blue candies (in addition to the sugar coats) in order to pass this level.
Sunny, I just saw your post about positive Covid. I hope you get well soon!
Tks Elektra and Sunny for your feedback. Feature is back although in the old version. I have to play around 50 times to get the 35 extra moves. Better than nothing🙏. Get well soon Sunny🙏 and Good luck to all🍀
I've been getting the same behavior on getting to the 35 extra moves by having to play 50 levels until yesterday where it started jumping 3 at a time (first time for me). Not having any gold bars nor any prospects of getting them any time soon (on 3rd of 4 chocolate boxes when I got stuck on 11605 needing 1 more 1st time win to complete). Luckily, just beat 11605 with no boosters at the start or during the game. Almost felt like I won the Super Bowl :-)
Anyway, wanted to do a get well soon shout-out to my fellow Buffalonian Sunny. Let us know if Covid makes you a better Crusher :-)
Hello Cc
Cc level 10741
This level is impossible to get it close
Too hard without boosters
So posting for lucky board
Thanks Cc :)
Thanks CC :)
Get close
Second episode (#11616/30) is a true nightmare 😂😩😂but once again everything depends on timed boosters you are using. Levels 11626 and 11629 are crazing hard and almost undoable without extra moves. Level 11328 is possible to pass without any booster but you have to focus on CB that appear at the bottom of the board when you use vertical stripes in the correspondent columns. Good luck everyone. You will need it for sure🍀
Thanks for the well wishes, stuck inside for 5 days, more time to play this crazy game. Stuck on 11,598 for now. Go Sabres, tonight should be awesome, go RJ
11626 will get 30 extra moves very fast if you have gold for it ,18 moves to clear 325 jellies and 2 fruits,good luck
11617 is absolutely unbelievable. 19 moves really King? 30 on the video, so typical. Hope you’re feeling better Sunny! 😟

This is not fair

Thanks
11629 could be the end for me, or will certainly drive me to drink! (More) 🤣🫤
Happy Monday all and best of luck going forward!
Done thru #11645. I’m speechless 😔. Third episode was designed to eliminate part of the players😂😂😂. Brutal. No need of tips. Levels are self explanatory and only the moves are insufficient. Good luck everyone and be patient and resilient.
11,606 tip, got lucky with CB/CB combo, gets all jelly in unreachable diagonal column, good luck...
One piece of good news this morning - level 11635, which seemed destined to cause me to use my last 10 gold bars, now has 30-32 moves and is beatable without boosters (especially since you start with 9 jelly squares which negate much of the effect from starting with boosters (CB/CB would help but even that is limited due to much of the board being grayed out until you clear some of the blockers). Fish booster probably best help.
Dolce - have faith in the power of the lucky board! I'm pretty sure I beat 11629 without gold bars (since I didn't have any!). I did have a UFO so that might be enough. I looked at the board this morning (28 moves - not sure what you have) - looked like if you can get a CB/wrap combo once you get down past the skulls and the multipliers, might be doable. At least you won't have to fear 11635 looking forward :-)
Done thru 11660 all on first try, won Episode Race and 40 gold bars.
I'm saving the next episodes for stickers on the Daily Win.
Many hard levels in this episode. Good luck everyone.
Hello CC

Another level I can’t get it close
Impossible for me
No boosters left
So posting for lucky board
Thqmks Cc:)
Done thru 11675 again all on first try, won Episode Race and collected 40 gold bars. I have to play the 2nd episode because my Fantastic Five has only 140 points to go and I have only 10 hours left. I am afraid that King might cheat me again by getting "Timed Out". So, I was able to collect the UFOthis time.
I'm saving the last episode for a sticker on the Daily Win.
Done thru 11,615 fish booster helped here get lowest rows. Good job Rick you're on fire! Good luck this week everyone...Go Leafs Go!
Anybody else not getting new levels above 11645 this week? I finished Tuesday (nice that 11641 went to 32 moves after killing myself trying to win with 19 - this is twice in a week hard levels have been made easier) but as of 7:30 Thursday, still nothing (get to hit my head against the wall playing the Star tournament). New levels showed up on Facebook Wednesday as usual but nothing on Android.
p.s. I'm convinced Rick is really a bot (as in robot) as no "normal" human could possibly do as well as he does week after week :-). We're all jealous!
Rick is truly amazing! 👏👏👏
Mike, I’m stuck on 11635 as I think you said you had woke up to 32 moves, I have 24 🙄😳 Won my fab 4 and never got the boosters again, crazy how that happens so much! Anyways, we just keep going, hoping for lucky boards I guess! Lol have a wonderful day all!
Well, passed it right after my last comment, so thanks Mike for the encouragement in having faith in a lucky board and thank you CC! 🙏🙏
Done thru 11690 again all on first try, won the Episode Race and collected 40 gold bars. I also won Sam's Streak and completed the Daily Win.
Guys, I am not a bot or anything. I think it is just my technique of trying to start every level with a CB combo that makes successful.
Good luck everyone, Till Wednesday.
Happy Friday everyone! Level 11644 is ridiculous, just saying. Lucky board definitely needed on this one. 🤦♀️
Have a great weekend all! 🥂
So finished the latest episode (thru 11660) after it finally showed up Thursday night. Avoided using my last 10 gold bars (beat the nightmare level with bot of 2 and my last CB/wrap/fish boosters) - took a number of tries to beat most of the levels (not used to playing with no boosters at the start or in the game - try it sometime!).
I managed to beat 11661 (needed the 5 extra moves so there went the gold bars) as I was trying to complete the last chocolate box with the 6th first time win to get the 10 gold bars - but was too late and it expired on me so I am truly going forward "naked" with no safety net.
Rick - I think what I admire about your play is the discipline you use in approaching the levels and the insights you bring to the game. I tend to go into each level (especially the ones not marked hard) with the belief (especially when I 'm riding a good bot streak) that I can complete them (and then sometimes fall on my face and have to regroup and start from scratch.
What I still wonder about how you do it is when the opening board has like 9 squares and all the boosters basically disappear after first move (I call these levels "bot-busters"). Maybe these are the pinata levels? I will say that I've used lots of strategies in figuring out how to complete some of these levels with little to no boosters (kind of takes me back to how the game was years ago before the current insanity took over in the developers). Get more satisfaction on some of these as opposed to starting with every booster.
Anyway, good luck crushers on the 11646-60 levels. All can be beat without extra moves (completed all 15 in 36 hours including sleep!) - fish booster was probably the best choice. I'll offer one suggestion on the level that starts with 2 CBs and then all the snakes clearing the board leaving behind all the blockers. Try to get CB/wrap combos (CB/stripe combos good earlier) and try to get colors to both bottom corners ASAP. CB/CB combos not too effective as the blockers fill up the board in their wake. Balance some straight matches as you get closer to the end when you can clear 3 or more jellies.
I finished 11646-11660. Pretty brutal. I got 1 golden crown (11649) but I had starting boosters from F5 team. I finally watched a video for 11651 because I couldn’t figure out where to put the frog. Once you grow the frog, place it on the bottom row on the right in the empty spot next to the snake inside the red and black cage. This will release that snake which then releases all the other snakes which will collect the 2 keys on top. I kept trying to use the frog to take out those top row keys and got nowhere (hence I watched the video). I’m pretty sure I played for extra moves on nearly every level in the episode. Good luck everyone! Sunny, I hope you’re all recovered.
As for whether Rick is a bot or not, and both Rick and Mike strategies on how to win with boosters. I’m amazed that there are still some players who can start with 2 CBs together. I stopped having that ability when King cut us off from being able to reset w/o losing a life PLUS losing the daily bot which kept me with starting boosters every time. Are you guys saying that you still have those benefits? More power (and happier playing) to you if you do. The only times I have starting boosters (besides using precious ones from my dwindled stash) is from F5 or occasionally the beanstalk thing or the 15 minute CB (but there’s only one) from chocolate box.
And yet I keep playing. Must be tickling me somehow.
Done thru # 11675 and I found this second episode a true nightmare 😂😂😂. It took me 6 consecutive hours. I could not stop because I was struggling for the 40 bars with two other competitors. Sorry guys. In benefit of my mental sanity I decided to play only 3 days a week betting everything in the episode race. I still have plenty of bars but it’s clear now that without it it will be game over. I don’t have adv or movies and it’s boring having to play around 50 times to get the 35 extra moves. Even worst because I already had a different feature which gave me the same extra moves with less than 15 attempts. Please KING review this situation. It’s close to psychological torture. Good luck everyone 🍀
Stuck on level 11674! I have 35 extra moves I could buy but no lucky boards. This is my 3rd day stuck here. I do not have enough gold bars to move on either. I have never played a game that is impossible to beat levels unless you pay for boosters and gold bars. You can’t earn the bars or boosters either since you can not beat levels. Let me know if you ever change the game to being fun again! ☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️
Done thru 11,630, now stuck on 11,632 for now, feel so far behind, you guys rock! Good luck everyone...
Level 11665 is really awful....lost all my boosters here...
Hello CC
Cc level 10770
Very frustrating very difficult for me
No boosters
Only 20 moves as videos shows more 27
So posting for lucky board
Thanks CC:)
I feel Luis and Elektra's pain - just spent a day trying to beat 11665 with no boosters (I literally have next to no boosters, either to start or during the game - imagine my pain when I got down to 2 jellies and had no hammers!). Finally gave in and used my last 10 gold bars to finish it and then ran into what was "supposed" to be normal level with 11666 (devil's level) and played almost 2 hours before I got the "lucky board". I thought I had completed it once but then realized the 3rd cherry doesn't drop until 1st 2 off the board. I would recommend the stripe/wrap combo to start but with the full assortment of blockers (the sticky ones especially annoying), should be marked hard.
I did get 1 UFO from the 6 daily wins but I'm not optimistic on completing this episode any time soon (Sunny, you better hope they make these levels easier by the time you catch up :-). Some of them have had more moves added but warning, pain ahead!
I think I may neeed an intervention to stop playing this game - my stress level is reaching new levels!
Rocky, I don’t know if you’ve passed 11674 yet. I just (finally!!!) did it. I got that lucky board after 2 days — I only had 35 jellies left to clear so I paid my 10 gold bars for 35 moves (I needed 14 of them). I can’t believe it’s not labeled “nightmare” level. I fell behind in the episode race yesterday so that actually took the competitive pressure off. That’s no small thing; both Luis and Mike also talked about the mental stress of playing. It’s a real conundrum because to play leisurely means I’ll never win the episode race so no free gold bars. And I need the bars to get extra moves on most levels. I have spent some money through the years buying gold bars but that raises other anxieties, so I won’t spend enough to really make a difference. (And if I spent more I’m guessing I wouldn’t enjoy playing at all because of the inner voice saying, “Really?! With all the crap going on in the world, this is where you’re choosing to spend your money?”). Anyway, happy Mothers Day to you mothers out there in the USA. And good luck everyone.
Level 10770 is impossible
Bye bye
Done thru #11690. In this episode there is a mix of very easy levels and crazing hard levels. In my opinion #11680/83/89 are undoable without extra moves or robust boosters. On #11685 grow the frog and put it over the CB stuck in the middle. It will open the board regardless the colour of the bottom stripes. Good luck everyone 🍀
Hello CC
Level’10776 is impossible
Have no booster so it’s time to give up
Sorry
Done thru 11705 again all on first try, won the Episode Race and collected 40 gold bars, increasing my stash to 2,131. (I wish I could give you some gold bars, guys). I am saving the next two episodes for next week. Three players have already 62, 52, and 48 levels in the Weekly Contest. Even if I completed these 3 episodes, I will only have 45 which is not good even for 3rd place. Goid luck everyone.
After finally getting past 11673 (annoyingly harder than it should be - couldn't seem to get the 3 cherries to drop in time - finally figured out they only come from the rightmost column when hit from stripe below - even though it shows they come out of all 3 right columns), I played 11674 with much trepidation from what I'd seen (and tried unsuccessfully on my Facebook account which has no boosters).
I threw the kitchen sink at it (CB, wrap/stripe and fish) along with my bot streak of 1 and beat it first time! Luckily, my Android version had 28 moves (FB only 20) and was able to clear the "jelly spreaders" early and made a few CB/stripe combos which did the trick.
Now, thanks to Luis, I can stress about the 11676-90 episode and those 3 terrible levels coming up.
p.s. King screwed me on my Spring event where I had won CB and stripe/wrap for 30 minutes but didn't get the CB which might given me enough to continue my bot streak (of course, they wanted the "screenshot" to prove something that didn't exist any more).
Rick - please don't tell us about your 2131 gold bars :-) Those of us with 1 just want to storm your castle and redistribute your wealth LOL
Done thru #11705. I’m not going to “rate” this episode because I don’t want to contribute to Mike’stress level increase and also because I didn’t play with timed boosters, UFO or piñata which makes things much more difficult.
I leave you here some tips:
# 11696: pay attention to the first row on top left and try to make the first moves there
# 11697: grow the frog and put it over the caramel stuck in the middle; then put it over the keys. When you have all the yellow and red candies on board try to make a CB/CB. Is the only way you have to save moves and get the requested caramel
# 11689: grow the frog and put it over the keys and after that place it at the bottom middle column
Good luck everyone 🍀
Done thru 11,660 thanks to full win streak, slowing catching up, thanks for the tips since I'm so far behind, good luck everyone...
Hello CC
Level 10813 is impossible to close for me
Very very frustrating very difficult
So need a great help :)
Posting for lucky board
Thanks CC :)
Done thru 11,675, despite past comments this was an easier episode than the last or the candy crush "gods" just feel sorry for me since I'm trailing :) good luck to all!
Luis, thanks for the thoughts on my stress level. Actually, did pretty good with last episode - being forewarned on 11680, 3 and 6 I was able to beat them. 11688 was the one I tripped up on for a bit - cost me my last UFO.
Now struggling on 11692 - lost my bot streak on it. Any suggestions? Got down to 7 blockers once.
Level 11713 is another mission impossible.....
Done thru 11,690 thanks to timed boosters from fantastic 5. I'm also now stuck on 11,692 but catching up, good luck...
11677 torcher! 🤦♀️🤯 and so incredibly boring! 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
Finally got past 11695 - coconut wheel and CB. Match the keys, roll the wheel over the CB was good start. Then, making 2 CBs next to each other whenever possible. Stripes with fish sometimes helped. I know Sunny's getting close to this one.
I looked back at 11677 given Dolce's frustration with no fond memories. I think a wrap/stripe combo in the middle was my first key and working up top (which is not usually a good strategy) to get the candies to fall down was how I was able to finally beat it.
I'm now stuck on 11,698 day 2, waiting for lucky board. Please pray for the victims/families of the Buffalo, NY mass shooting, vety sad day for our city.
Done thru #11735. I was “forced” to play in two consecutive days due to the chocolate boxes and also because I’m trying to win the weekly contest. I played with timed boosters of those boxes and F5 which made things more easy. Anyway, be “psychologically” prepared to face some “apocalyptic” levels: # 11713 / 22 / 31 😩😩. Good luck everyone. I wish you an amazing week.
Thank you Mike, trying all that can’t seem to get close. But I will! Lol
Ha thanks Luis, lots to look forward to! 🤦♀️
Sunny, it’s just horrible! Ugh. Definitely sending prayers and much love from Canada 🙏🙏
Level 11716 need extra-extra moves
Done thru 11,705 thanks to timed boosters from chocolate box, now stuck on 11,707 looks like an "extra move" level, good luck everyone...
Hello CC
Cc level 10839
Sorry but I have only 20 moves as videos shows 30 !!!
So can’t get it close
Need more moves or a great chance
Posting for lucky board
Thanks CC:)
got up to 11710 without using gold bars, UFOs or pinatas. Bot streak up to 12 before I hit 11710. I will say 11707 went better when starting with the boosters from the bot.
Luis - first time I think I've heard the word "apocalyptic" describing a level or an episode - there you go raising my stress level again :-)
One weird thing happened today - my Facebook version lost track of all my boosters (thought I had none of anything) so I restarted it. 11707 (I think it was this one) was "super hard level" before I restarted and when I came back it was now "Nightmarish". Don't know if the level changed (e.g. fewer moves) but curious.
Anyway, looks like several attempts coming on 11710 (I've got one left to fill 3rd of 4 chocolate boxes trying to get the 10 gold bars and I'm in the "time-out" waiting for it to open up).
Done thru 11735. Got 2 Daily Win stickers from the last 2 episodes. I almost lost the Episode Race. One player was leading me by 5 levels midway. It's a good thing I was able to overtake him and win the race.
Till Wednesday for new levels. I will be able to complete the Daily Win with 3 stickers from the coming 3 new episodes. Good luck everyone.

Done thru 11,720, catching up to the Wednesday group, no tips just good luck!
Hi Mike: that was not my intention. I was referring mainly to #11713. I think that even with 35 extra moves this level is one of the most difficult ever…. Unless King has changed it in the meantime 😩😩😩Good luck everyone
Sunny, your moving up fast! 👏👏👏 11701 is horrible, I feel like I should have got this right away but I just can’t! Lol I have been on it all day, guess I have to wait for a lucky board! ☺️

Thanks CC:)
So, feels like I'm playing a different game every day, it's crazy. I got through 11710 and 713 pretty easily without many boosters and then I spend half a day getting through 11715 (not even marked hard level - which looked easy on the YouTube video). Finally got lucky board (playing these levels with no boosters is not fun) and used my last hand switch to hit the last fish.
Then, I get to the dreaded 11716 and beat it on both Facebook and Android versions on first try with no boosters (it did have 32 moves which I suspect is different from before - sometimes, it helps to be a little behind :-). I'm even behind Sunny who's made great comeback from his little Covid "vacation" (really hope you're doing well).
I think I'm going to be the tortoise in the race (slow and steady) where I watch videos before attempting every level and try to hold onto my bot streaks (lost a 12 level one this week by rushing into another seemingly "easy" level and being surprised - you'd think I'd learn after playing this game for so many years :-)
I full agree with Mike. It helps to be a little behind. It seems that King is listening to our comments and some levels are changed accordingly. Time for a break. Good luck everyone 🍀
Agree with Luis & Mike, made progress from timed boosters from chocolate box & fantastic 5 due to being behind. Covid only helped for 5 days as I was stuck inside :( now stuck on 11,727. Good luck this week everyone...
Done thru 11750, extending my First Try Winning Streak to 107 levels and my Episode Winning Streak to 78. This episode is in stark contrast to the last one. My competitors were all like bunched together on the 3rd level and I won by at least 10 levels. This time I have the luxury of watching videos to have extra moves or start with more boosters, the luxury I did not have on the previous episode.
Good luck guys. You will need it because this episode has 3 designated Nightmarish Hard levels and one Very Hard level.
Think I've found "Apocalypse Now" in 11731. Got bot streak up to 20, sailed through 11722, 725, 727, and 728 with just those boosters and then hit the brick wall that is 11731. Video shows nice CB/CB combo and then CB/wrap combo near the end - I got a CB/CB combo but can't get close. Looks like the 35 move/gold bar is in my future (of course, miracles do occur - but only if King wants them to :-).
And, after getting through this episode, we have next one to look forward, that even Rick thinks is challenging. Remind me again, why we play this game :-)
Agree with Mike on 11,731, unlike the videos my board opens with candies encased in "sugar coats" ugh! I'll wait til I'm really close to use those 35 extra moves, good luck!
Done thru 11765 all on first try and won Episode Race. Probably an easier episode than the previous one. It has only two designated Hard levels but the hardest is 11764 which is not designated as a Hard level.
Good luck everyone.
Done thru 11,735. Got the lucky board on 11,731, CB/wrap was the key & 6 extra moves from 3 videos. Made 11,732 & 34 seem easy but 11,734 is crazy as well (Mike alert)! Good luck moving on...
I bit the bullet on 11731 and used the 35 moves (needed 24 of them). I was able to beat 11734 on first time (with bot streak and a fish booster to start with) as well as 11740 (not nearly as bad as other nightmares) and got to 11742 with streak still in tact. Actually leading the weekly episode race 42-36 at the moment (but 3 days left and no Sam streak on either Facebook or Android).
Playing cautiously but so far, so good with this episode.
Done thru 11780. My First Try winning Streak was snapped by 11700. There is only 1 jelly left but I have to pay 16 gold bars to get extra moves to complete the level. I have no compelling reason to use 16 gold bars to get my Streak going so I let it lapse. Most important is that I won the episode Race and collected 40 gold bars and I also completed the Daily Win.
Till Wednesday for new levels.
Hello CC
Cc level 10859
Hante only 23 moves but videos shows 25 or 35
This is not fair
So posting for lucky board
Very hard level
Thanks CC :)
Sorry it’s level 10869
Thanks
Level 10874 is another impossible level
Use boosters but no way
Time to give up
Bye bye
Rick - did you mean your streak was stopped by 11760 (instead of 11700)? Reason I ask is my streak of 24 got stopped by 11760 (not marked hard) and I also didn't want to buy moves to get the last 3. Of course, then I beat (on both platforms) with no boosters whatsoever. Getting myself geared up for 11761 - the older videos look super easy but the one from yesterday has all the top jellies coated and they had to buy moves to pass it. Any advice on this one?
For those who get to 11760, focus on the bottom of the right column (you can usually clear the middle early) and getting wraps and combos towards the bottom. Need to get the cherries falling early - the stripes will come down with them and over and combining them with wraps the key to clearing the board. Everything else prior 20 or so levels was pretty straight forward (of course, having the bot streak made them a lot easier).
Mike, sorry I meant 11770, not 11700. My First Try winning streak was 98 then. I was not in Sam's Streak contest where every level passed is worth 25 points with the streak. So I just gave up.
By the way, 11764 which I thought was the hardest level in the episode, is on your way. Good luck.
.
Done thru 11,750, now stuck all day on 11,761, good luck you'll need it...
So after dozens of tries on 11761 (with 20 moves and everything wrapped) I'm not sure even 35 extra moves will do it. Even with full load of boosters to start, I can't get lower than 37 left. The stripes don't seem to uncover much - just uncovering the twists takes most of the moves before even thinking about blockers. Am I missing something? I suspect UFOs (or pinatas) might be helpful - but I don't have any!
Help.
Hi Sunny and Mike: you don’t need to clear the board. The 35 extra moves and the initial check mark booster are enough. To avoid any risk use also the stripe/wrap and the CB. Good luck 🍀
Where are the videos one can watch to get boosters? I have never seen any videos. How can I tap into the link?
What happen to extra boosters and moves from videos? Levels are impossible without extra moves. I can’t win the race so I can’t win gold bars so I can’t beat levels. No fun candy crush! ☹️
Luis & Mike: got 11,761 from your advice & launching 1 UFO. Wheel booster helped in 11,763, now stuck on 11,764. Rocky & Pat: my videos disappear/reappear also, good luck to all...
Tips for 11,764? Have 21 moves video shows 31 moves. Have 35 extra moves but doubt that is enough, good luck on this one!
Hi Sunny: I had the same doubt regarding the 35 moves and so I decided to use the CB and the fish initial booster and I only used the 10 bars after “forcing” a CB/CB with a switch. Crazy level😩😩😩. Good luck.
I followed Luis' advice on 11761 and used the 35 moves with the CB, wrap/stripe and the check booster - only problem was I was 1 move short so had to use the extra moves for another 16 gold bars (seemed to risky to start over, given my low supply of boosters to start with).
I got past next 2 (took a few tries without boosters) and then ran into 11764 (seems us Buffalonians are taking similar paths!). Can't believe I'm going to have to use my last gold bars on level that's not even marked hard. Might need to take a little "Candy vacation" as I'm questioning why I play this stupid game (11761 seemed to me to be just "evil" - no possible way to beat. Maybe by next week, some of these levels will get "fixed" and the developers will find hearts (like Scrooge did).
Level 11749....3 days and still nothing....
Thanks Luis, Mike your posts always give me a chuckle, done thru 11,765, now stuck on 11,767, save those gold bars/ UFO'S for this one, good luck!
I’ve never seen them either Pat? 11742 is crazy hard with not enough moves 🤦♀️ patiently waiting for a lucky board! 🥱🥱😴
so seems they "fixed" 11767 last night as it now has 30 moves and I was able to beat it with no boosters (after spending my last gold bars on 11764). Up to 11770, which I'm trying to decide if it's the same as 2 weeks ago video (beaten with no boosters) or the one from 2 days ago which is marked hard (and they needed 20 extra moves to beat after starting with full boosters).
I had videos probably a year ago but those disappeared and haven't come back on either Facebook or Android. I also don't get 40 gold bars from winning weekly contest (might be 10 or just 6 of every booster - of course, when people are completing over 100 levels and I only have 45, hard to win that.
Pretty much week to week, scratching for boosters and waiting for lucky boards on those levels that are designed to test your patience. Nice to have a place for hints (and venting :-).
Same here, 11,767 went from 20 to 30 moves got it 1st try no boosters, now stuck on 11,770, had 30 minutes of boosters from "treasure chest" didn't get close, good luck!
Have no needed to come here for a while but 11779 has me really stumped. Help please
So 11770 went from "normal" with 24 moves to "super hard" with 24 moves (no other changes) to now "nightmarishly hard" with 30 moves (again, no other changes). Still impossible without significant boosters (which I don't have) but I can get down to like 30 jellies and 10 blockers.
The other interesting thing from the video from 2 weeks is when you broke through the color box, you used to get 2 CBs next to each other. Now it's just 2 stripes (which don't help much in clearing the board. Oh, BTW - the 30 moves is only on my Android version - not the Facebook one (it's now nightmare but still 24 moves).
Maybe Tim Burton is directing this movie :-)
11779....still here
The new levels (11781 and up) are out but I won't be playing them until after this week's Weekly Contest which ends this Sunday afternoon. The leader of the contest has 91 levels already, even if I complete 6 episodes, it's only 90, which is just good for second place finish that will only give me a Color Bomb. Anyway, good luck to you guys,
Hello CC

Alors à level with 25 moves

So can’t get it close
Posting for lucky board
Thanks CC :):):)
Flippenheck - I can now share your pain - just got to 11779 and even with the 24 moves on Android (18 on Facebook - went from super hard to nightmare while I was playing). Had bot streak of 5 and even with all the boosters, couldn't get below 40.
Hasn't happened in a while but 2 tries after I posted, got the famous "lucky board" on 11779 - no boosters, completed with 2 moves (of 24) to spare. 2 wraps next to each other and a CB/wrap combo and all done. Would like to think it's my superior playing strategy but I think we all know better :-)
Of course, not sure with 18 moves even a lucky board would have been good enough.
Good luck.
Hello CC
Cc level 10916
This level is very difficult very hard
Can’t get it close
Seems also different as videos shows
So need again a great help
Thanks CC :):):):)
Level 10916 is IMPOSSIBLE
Give up
No boosters
No way
Fred, I just played 10916 on my Facebook account with no boosters, 26 moves and I was able to complete it first time. Got the keys first, concentrated on clearing the center blockers, made a couple of combos, cleared the top blockers on both sides for the cherries and then few more combos. Could you tell us little more on what your board looks like (I know very well that different platforms have very different makeups - fewer moves, more blockers, etc.) so might be helpful if we could learn more and offer some suggestions. I know that a coconut wheel would have been very helpful on this level, except it's not offered as an option (which always frustrates me with cherry levels like this one).
Good luck.
p.s. I bit the bullet and used my last 10 gold bars on 11786 - even starting with CB and wrap/stripe combo, needed about 16 extra moves to clear all the blockers in the corners. Cherries are the easy part but require enough moves to not enable you to clear all the blockers in the 29 moves allotted. Oh well.
Now onto 11788.
Hello CC
Cc level 10926
Too hard
Have no boosters left
Have only 21 moves

So it’s time to stop definitely
Bye bye
Done thru 11,795 where I used 1 UFO & 1 hand just to end the madness, tough level. Where is everyone? Good luck wherever you are...
Done thru #11825. I didn’t post because this game lost all fun and tips are useless. No strategy or skills required. Without bars to buy extra moves a lot of levels are undoable. I really don’t understand why we insist in playing this game. King will not change it. Good luck everyone 🍀
Well, I think I have had enough. No more buying gold bars. No more trying to in fantastic five. I am free.
11825 is impossible. Lucky board please
Just got to 11795, the 5th nightmare level in this episode. Only had to use gold bars on 1 of them (11786) so feeling a little proud of myself :-)
Only 3 nightmares in the next episode and no obvious ones in the next one so maybe the developers are regaining pieces of their souls!
Amazing thing to me is how many people are still going in this game. I admit to only 1 bout of weakness when I bought 20 gold bars for $2 a while back (so much for my purity pledge). I guess it's the challenge of getting past so many levels (buying gold bars to me counts as a fail) that keeps me going. I actually look at failing on a level when I have a long bot streak as a positive where it forces me to play a level without the kitchen sink of boosters (e.g. when you start a level with 2 CBs together and complete the level in 6 moves). Don't get me wrong, I never refuse boosters (as limited as my supply is these days) but it takes me back to the days when each level was its own challenge and could be beaten with some good strategy as opposed to today when each level brings new levels of frustration.
Anyway appreciate those of you who muster on, offer tips where we can and keep the game somewhat enjoyable. We can't let those damn King'ers beat us - we shall overcome!
Done thru 11825. I used the 3 episodes to get 3 stickers for the Daily win. I should complete it this week with the 3 new episodes by playing an episode a day. I am also leading in Sam Streak Contest and the Weekly Contrst.
My only tip is to use a check candy booster in 11817. It's like a deja vu to me because I was playing it in my other device, I need only 3 Licorice Swirls and they won't fall after wasting several boosters (for nothing). So I played it in my other device using a check candy booster and passed it first time.
Hello CC

Thanks CC :)
Done thru 11870. I was planning to play the last 3 episodes for the Daily Win stickers but another player overtook me in Sam's Streak Contest, so I have to play them to get points, which enable me to eventually won that contest.
These 3 new episodes are harder than the previous ones, so good luck to everyone.
Need help for 11857 please
I’ve completed through 11870 as well. An amazing gift came my way — starting with the 3rd episode last week and continuing through this week’s, I start getting the extra moves (for 10 GB’s) after losing only 5 times, instead of the 30 or so times it took before. And each time I’m offered 3 more moves than last time, so it only takes losing a level a total of 15 times to get the 35 extra moves. So I moved through the 3 episodes way more quickly than before resulting in winning all 3 episode races for 40 GBs each time for a total of 120. Yay! Good for 12 more levels. I’m wondering if any of the rest of you were given this change. I only finished 8 (11834, 11837, 11843, 11849, 11850, 11858, 11859, 11870) of the 45 levels on the 1st try, usually because of my F5 or chocolate box boosters. Good luck everyone!
Cannot make any indent on 11857
I've had Elektra's "gift for a few weeks now - my only problem is I don't have the gold bars to buy the extra moves :-) My episode race doesn't give gold bars (looks like 6 each of most boosters, 3 of the others) but the winner always has more than 90 levels so I never win. My only shots at gold are the chocolate box (which takes at least 4-5 days to win as you can only win 3 of the 4 tasks per day and you have to win 4 chocolate boxes) and the occasional contest (this week's is for 2 UFOs, which I'm currently leading but not by much).
I got a new "gift" myself today on 11836 - the fish booster "ate" one of the snakes I needed to unlock the cherries - and it didn't count against the 3 snakes I needed so lost the level and my streak - thanks again King!
On the positive side, I beat all the hard/super hard/nightmare levels in the last episode without any gold bars - even beat one nightmare with no boosters! Not sure that's ever happened for me before.
Oh well.
Hello CC
Cc level 10975
Have only 24 moves
Videos shows 33 or 35 ??,?
Or videos shows another game
So can’t get it close again
Posting for lucky board
Thanks CC :):):):)
Done thru #11870. Very difficult episode. I found #11867/9 perfect nightmares and not classified accordingly. Without timed boosters 35 extra moves can be not enough. Good luck everyone 🍀
Does any one have a tip or strategy for level 11758. I don’t see it mentioned anywhere.
Carol,
All I can offer is to clear the keys up top ASAP, then try to make vertical stripes (combined with wraps that drop where you can) to open up the bottom of the board and make as many moves as you can down at the bottom, where you hope to get lucky enough to make few combos down there to open up the outside lanes for the cherries.
Now, how about 11857? 2 weeks ago, the videos are for normal level, 2 CBs under each of the color locks and no problem. Now, the barriers are thicker, instead of CBs, there stripe/wrap combos. Even starting with all 3 boosters, can't get under 100. Looking like my precious gold bars are going to the only route (yet again). Here, after I was able to beat 11854 without a booster (after many tries). A level that started out marked as "normal" and then while playing, turns to nightmare. Of course, the FB version only has 21 moves while the Android has 32 (at least a fighting chance). Sometimes, it seems the levels are made easier after time but it seems the 2 week ago videos are "easy" where the 2-3 day ago videos are insane!
How do you get past level 11766 in 20 moves? Any tips on that one. And thanks Mike B for answering my last question regarding an earlier level. 😊
So, I am now on a "Candy Strike". I refuse to play while insanely designed levels like 11860 are the current state. After spending 10 gold bars to get past 11857 (needed 29 extra moves), I come to 11860 with 18 moves where even with full bot or full boosters to start, can't get below 46 yellow candies. Even lucky board (where I was able to make 2 CB/wrap combos and 1 CB/stripe combo) got no farther. Plus, the level was initially marked as "normal", then became nightmare now back to normal - with still 18 moves. Markedly different than the videos. They say "why do you keep banging your head against the wall" and the answer is "because it feels so good when you stop" and that's where I'm at now.
Carol - on 11766, all I can say is try to get the locked stripe dispensers as early as you can to unlock the 2 color blocks, do the first 2 CBs together and then when you unlock the second one, wait to see if you can pair one of the CBs with a wrap. Certainly helps if you start with some boosters to clear the center of the board to get to the blockers.
Good luck - I actually started playing from the very beginning on my new tablet (when I found I could move the gold bars from my old tablet but none of the boosters - I think Rick told us this a while back). It was actually pretty fun - got to level 95 in 1 sitting (I did lose 1 time each on 2 hard levels but there are no streaks back there). Won 2 episode races (haven't seen these in years) and up to 100 gold bars (more than I've got now after many years!) in 1 day.
Level 10992 is impossible for me
Give up
Got a new problem I'm hoping someone here has seen and can help me with. On my Android tablet, the game has lost the ability to contact the store at the end in order to buy extra (35) moves. Just loops. In addition, the booster wheel, the chocolate box, weekly and the piggy bank have all disappeared (but I still have FFive, Daily Treat, Daily Win, Challenge Friend).
Customer support assures me "some contest disappear for a while and other fun things take their place" but we know they're clueless when they say this.
The only change I made in the last week was install CC on my new tablet. I did login once but then saw I had no boosters (only the gold bars like Rick said would happen) so I logged out on the new tablet and went back to the old one.
p.s. I finally gave in and came off my "strike" on the FB version - used all 3 boosters, bought extra moves (needed 6) and completed the level. The Android version doesn't show my completing 11860 so I know there's a synch problem but I have logged into FB on the Android to no avail.
Mike, can you transfer the CC from the old tablet rather than installing a new CC on your new tablet. I just transferred CC from my old phone to my new phone using "Samsung Smart Switch" which was on my new phone but I had to install on my old phone.
Done thru 11900 and won 2 Episode Races. I was trying to save the 2nd episode for a sticker in the Daily Win but I have to play it to start the Sam's Streak Contest which I am leading at the moment. I am also leading in the Weekly Contest. I did not play it last week because the leader has over 100 levels already. Even with 6 episodes, I can only get 90, so it's a lost cause.
The 2nd seems to be easier than the 1st. Good luck, everyone.
Done thru 11915 and won the Episode Race and completed the daily Win. Although I passed all the levels in the 3rd episode on my first try, it is definitely the hardest of the 3. There are several hard levels in the episode and 11911 is one of them. I have to buy 5 extra moves for 16 gold bars to pass this level because I`m short of 3 Toffee Swirls. (You cannot start with a Check Candy booster to start this game.)
Till Wednesday for new levels. Good luck, everyone.
Thanks Rick - I saw the Smart Switch but it wasn't on my old tablet and when I tried to install it, it failed (think my storage problems on old tablet are biting me in multiple ways). Now with the game in questionable status (King keeps saying, it's us not you but they haven't fixed anything yet), I'm going to wait to move it to my new tablet - in the mean time, I'm actually having fun starting over. I win 50-100 levels a day, amassing over 700 gold bars and have 17 episode win streak (I haven't seen these in years on either of my accounts). I'm ashamed to admit I had to use gold bars twice on nightmare levels that I missed on 1 jelly to keep my bot streak going.
Back to the newer levels, I was shocked when I beat both 11867 and 11869 on first time with 7-9 moves left (other levels were much harder). At least my Facebook version is working fine so I'm ready to start next episode starting at 11871.
Please help needed for 11856
