Levels over 10,000

 This blog is now complete, I will not be doing any more tips or videos after level 10,000.

I will be working on lower levels that have been changed to make them more relevant for newer players who need help.

Thank you all for supporting the blog and the FB group. I may post links to relevant videos but can't guarantee to be able to do this. The FB group is still open and members can often help if you have problems.

You are welcome to post any tips you have for future levels in the comments of this page, however please keep the comments to tips, any irrelevant comments will be deleted.

UPDATE

I am working on a few levels which I know have changed or hard levels that I can manage to do and I will post links here when I do them. Here are the first few.

Ben nu bij level 12846 het spel is een drama, geen extra zetten meer, geen reclame voor extra. Alleen maar kopen, laatst 1 keer gedaan en bleef gelijk meer dan 1 week hangen in het zelfde level. Dus nooit weer.
Als ik 2 levels per week door kom mag ik blij zijn pfff nou de lol is er totaal af.
CC ik kap ermee its done over en uit voor mij, het is niet leuk meer
CC failled

Df said...

CC failled im done with it

Pat said...

I am done, too! Level 13330 did it for me. No chance of passing any levels without boosters. It was good while it lasted.

Mike Baskey said...

Well, got up to 200 gold bars (couple of candy royales) and a bot streak of 12 (of course, I spent gold bars to try and hang onto the bot streak so now down to 160) and then hit 12732. First time, moved the cherry to hit the skull, then realized the cherry now can't drop because there's no chute on the far left column - goodbye bot streak! I've noticed more and more (especially on the "older" levels (7000s on my new tablet) that I lose streaks on "normal" levels where I pass the nightmare levels with several moves to spare. Yet another CC conspiracy :-)
I won the blue candy streak (of course on my new tablet where I have 14K gold bars) and not on FB (where I had 18 gold bars) due to the "how the hell do you get millions of blue candies in 3 days!" phenomenon (can't image how to get 10M).

Same thing with this latest star contest - getting 250 stars on the levels in the 12000-13000 stratosphere lot harder than back in the 7-8K levels. Plus, for those of you on the latest episodes, 3 episodes = 45 levels x 3stars (if you're lucky) only gets you half way. Winning 84 levels in 5 days - seriously?

Anyway, Bills playing Dolphins this weekend - with no Tua, we're up to 96% likelihood to win with 13 point spread - just the kind of situation where Buffalo has been known to lose :-) Maybe the positive vibes from the Damar Hamlin situation will prevail.

Dolce’ said...

I agree Pat! They cut the amount of moves drastically, you can't win without Boosters & gold bars, you have to play a level a hundred times... it's just gotten out of control it's so ridiculous, and they will pay in the end.
I've had it. Today I use up what little boosters I have left and call it quits.. I'm at the age where word games are better for me anyways to help my brain! 😂😂 🙄😏
Was such a pleasure talking with everyone over the years. I hope you all stay safe, stay healthy and most of all stay stress free from this crazy game! Best to all.. 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

Mike Baskey said...

Well, I'm now 3 months behind the leaders. Got past 12750 and other nightmare/super hards in the episode without gold bars (or in game boosters other than 3 hand switches on 12750) and then hit an "easy" level in 12753. Seems like lot fewer posts on the blog lately (my foreign languages other than a little German not able to decipher :-). Only playing few minutes a day these days - not worth getting stressed over (I chuckle when I start the game and it talks about swiping stress away).
Rather get my stress with the Bills this weekend - good luck to everyone with teams still alive.

Luís Bernardo said...

Done thru #13355. Last three episodes were absolutely insane. Lots of undoable levels without robust boosters or extra moves. It’s absolutely crucial to keep the streak of boosters and starting with a CB/CB meaning that you need to have hammers and switches. Levels are not anymore classified as nightmarishly and I don’t know why because actually they sometimes are more than that. #13342 is impossible without extra moves. I played with candy royal for the first time and I won 17 bars but actually I think it’s a trap because it puts a lot of pressure on us and force us to use boosters and bars to complete levels on first try. Clever programmers and King should give a reward to the creative guy that invented this. As I said before no strategy required only tactic to tryptophan win the episode race and the weekly contest. Good luck everyone and stay well.

Mais um dia eu presa na fase 13291. Um jogo não pode obrigar ninguém a comprar barras de ouro pra passar, isso tem que ser opcional. Eu tenho apenas 4 barras é preciso passar 6 níveis pra conseguir mais 10 barrinhas, porém estou presa a 3 dias nessa fase.

O que está acontecendo com meu CC? Os anúncios pararam e eu não tenho mais como ganhar boosters. Está impossível de continuar jogando, pois os níveis de dificuldades estão hard.

Conserte esse erro pra eu continuar minha caminhada. Por favor

Obrigada!!

Fred said...

Hello CC
Cc level 13161
Have only 22 moves
And have 200 yellow and 200 green blocks
Videos shows 26 moves and 100 yellow and free blocks
This is a joke
Sorry but I can’t get it close

Passeio fluvial said...

Peço socorro, pois meu Candy Crush praticamente parou de funcionar. Não tenho mais possibilidades nenhuma de ganhar boosters. Os anúncios pararam e até o jogo mais fácil se torna difícil, pois não vem nem combinações pra que eu consiga concluir. Não sei o que aconteceu, por favor reparem isso.
Jogo desde 2012 e não mereço ter que parar de jogar por causa de bug do aplicativo. Já reinstalei 3 vezes e nada, nem vida eu ganho mais.

Finally got through 13309 by building up boosters. Same thing now at 13321but I don't have enough boosters or gold bars. Been stuck here now for 2 days

Hello Cc
Another joke
Level 13164
Have only 19 moves as videos shows 26 and of course this is not fair

I should really call a halt but it is an addiction but 13321 could be the end

Meu CC está com problemas, pois não recebo nem vidas, nem boosters, nem anúncio e nada. Gostaria de uma placa de sorte pra poder passar do nível 13291 que já estou 3 dias preso nele.
Help me

Luís Bernardo said...

Done thru #13400. Unless you succeed to keep the streak of boosters I would say that at least 5 out each 15 levels are undoable without extra moves and on top of the streak you need to have hammers and switches to join 2 CB and clear the first layer of the board on your first move😂😂. Levels 11384 and 11399 are candidates to win the prize of most difficult level ever. Good luck everyone.

Luís Bernardo said...

Of course I wanted to say levels 13384 and 13399 and not the ones I mentioned 🙏😂

Passeio fluvial said...

Quando a gente mais precisa de vocês aí vocês nos abandonam. Tô muito triste, meu Candy Crush parou de funcionar e ninguém faz nada. Por favor manda uma atualização pra que eu possa continuar jogando, estou a 3 dias presa numa fase sem chance nenhuma de passar pois não tenho nenhum booster e nem vida eu ganho mais.

Por favor mande pelo menos uma placa de sorte.

Estou presa em mais um nível absurdo, resolver a 13315 com apenas 18 movimentos, acho que se juntar com os 35 movimentos extras que se compra com barras de ouro ainda não dá pra conseguir.

Passeio fluvial said...

Com pode resolver a fase 13315 com apenas 18 movimentos, se eu comprei mais 35 movimentos extras com as únicas barras de ouro que eu tinha e mesmo assim não consegui. ISSO É INSANO. Onde vcs estão querendo chegar? Ou seja, eu tinha 53 movimentos e não consegui e querem que consiga com 18. Tô de saco cheio desse jogo, que foi só eu comprar com $$ umas barras de ouro pra poder continuar a jogar que acabaram os anúncios e não ganho mais nada.
Se não atualizarem esse jogo eu vou desinstalar, não quero jogo que me estressa.

Isso é estelionato, a gente ser obrigada a comprar pra poder passar de fase. NÃO VOU COMPRAR MAIS NADA, e quero meus anúncios de volta, senão deleto essa merda.

Tô 3 dias presa nessa fase totalmente insana. Não preciso desse jogo pra viver, deleto e pronto. To cansada de ter que vir aqui esmolar pra poder passar de fase. Chega!!!

Mike Baskey said...

A blast from the past - got stuck on 12846 (cost me 35 level bot streak), couldn't get past 20-30 chocolates/blockers after multiple tries, then went to the blog (didn't find any hints), went back and tried 1 more time and voila - lucky board! Didn't even have to "post for luck" :-)
After that, got my bot streak back and won Candy Royale with 63 gold bars (up to 222) now streak at 15.
On a more depressing note, Punxsutawney Phil predicts 6 more weeks of winter (I know my Buffalonian friends have had enough already). Here in SC, only a few days in the 20's (next week back up to 70) so 6 more weeks, not so bad. Prayers for all those in Texas and other areas hit by the ice - all those videos of cars sliding around bring me back to growing up in Western NY.
To those few like Luis plowing forward (about 500 levels ahead of me), well done. At least somebody to consume all those fun levels the CC programmers are coming up with. It's why I started over on my new tablet to get the 14K gold bars I figure I'll need to keep going.

O que está acontecendo? Não consigo mais nada no CC, tô a 3
Semanas no mesmo episódio, só consigo passar se eu comprar os 35 movimentos extras, não tenho boosters, nem recebo vidas. Por favor me ajude, nunca mais veio anúncios pra eu conseguir passar de fase, não consigo passar nem a caixa de chocolate.
Façam alguma coisa por mim, devolvam meu Candy Crush com anúncios.
Estou presa na fase 13322 que nem é considerada difícil. Estou com 43 barras de ouro mas se acabar não terei mais chance nenhuma.

Parece que ninguém nem lê o que eu posto aqui mais.

Passeio fluvial said...

O que está acontecendo? Pq eu não recebo mais anuncio? Onde está aquele jogo da velha? Pq tiraram isso de mim? Como eu vou conseguir jogar sem ganhar booster?

Eu estava esperando a atualização do jogo achando que poderia sei isso, mas o jogo foi atualizado hj, eu deletei o meu e baixei novo e continua a mesma coisa. Eu só consigo passar de fase se eu comprar os 35 movimentos extras, porém estou com apenas 14 barras de ouro e quando acabar não tenho
Mais como ganhar nada. Eu não venço mais nenhuma corrida, não consigo completar a caixa de chocolate quando tem que passar de fases. Não queria desistir do jogo que já jogo desde 2012 e estou hoje na fase 13330, mas infelizmente vou ter que deletar esse jogo, ultimamente é mais estresse do que diversão.
Pr favor devolvam meus anúncios pra eu ganhar boosters

mdrea said...

Estou na fase 13330, jogo desde 2012 e nunca havia comprado nada, sempre ganhava boosters assistindo anúncios, e ganhava a corrida para acumular barras de ouro porém percebi que estavam colocando umas fases super difíceis, pode-se dizer impossíveis, eu usava minhas barras de ouro para comprar 35 movimentos extras para seguir em frente. Com isso, acabaram minhas barras de ouro e eu fiquei presa em uma fase impossível, tinha que resolver muita coisa com apenas 18 movimentos, ai acabei comprando barras de ouro. Foi só eu comprar que tiraram todos os meus anúncios e hoje estou tentando jogar sem nenhum booster, praticamente não saio do lugar, por isso to perdendo o interesse no jogo, pois NÃO VOU MAIS COMPRAR NADA, portanto não vou mais conseguir jogar.
Peço por favor, que me devolva os anúncios, para que eu prossiga no jogo, ou caso contrario desinstalarei, pois não vou ser refém de um jogo que me obriga a gastar dinheiro pra eu continuar jogando.
Aguardo uma resposta

Mike Baskey said...

Well, since the Bills are done, more time to spend on CC :-). Up to 12935 with bot streak of 89 and 500 gold bars (winning number of Candy Royales with around 50 GBs each time, adding chocolate box boosters or Daily Win boosters.

For those playing the purple/heart candy contest, I would recommend level 9563.
Pat - I had same problem, trying to find levels with chocolate and cherries (8000 by the way for cherries). I think I wound up with either 3711 or 3309 for chocolates.

One tip I figured out recently was when you lose a hard level (seems to be only 1x/day), you get 3 extra moves from a "friend". I use that to play a super/nightmare hard level (play most recent nightmare level, which without boosters usually guarantees a loss and then play the new level with the 3 extra moves - sometimes saves having to use gold bars to get 5 extra moves, to keep bot streak alive.

Sunny - good luck on 12406 - went back to play it and wound up very short of the goals! Probably had bot streak and used extra boosters to beat it.

I'm still plugging away at this game. But much slower than before. I'm no longer getting all 45 new levels done each week. I'm currently on #13378. I wish, like Mike Baskey, that I still had the bot, but (alas!) it's been years. I finally got the option to play Candy Royale -- the icon was on my board for months but every time I punched it, the prompt said maybe later. I didn't realize that you have to win on the first try to get anywhere with Royale, so it's out of the question for me. I pretty much need extra moves for most of the levels. Since I've slowed down I can't win the Episode Race for 45 gold bars, but I discovered that once you lose the Champion's Race, you get put into another one which I like to think of as the Losers' Race. I often win those for 20 to 35 gold bars, even though I'm taking 3 days or more to finish an episode. After winning 3 of those, you get thrown back into the Champion Race, which I'll lose and then the whole thing repeats.

Pat, you probably don't need the chocolate levels anymore, but for next time, 199 is a really good level for that, and it's easy to win. Of course you have to risk getting carpal tunnel to get back to the beginning of the board...

Sunny, we are still praying for Damar Hamlin, happy to hear that the news is getting better and better for him. His injury -- so horrifying as we all watched the ambulance on the field, etc. -- has made me question my love of (watching) football. I know that equipment is getting better and they've made some rule changes for safety reasons. But I don't think anything will really improve unless/until the culture changes. What I mean is that if a player is injured, he shouldn't play. End of story. So many players are limping, taped up, etc. and everyone (players themselves, coaches, fans) expect them to come out on the field to play anyway. I understand, of course, that this would be a radical change, and teams would have to be larger and therefore more expensive, but it's still my wish. This culture starts so young -- my 12-year old grand-nephew is playing tackle football and that macho culture ("I hurt but I can still play") is there even for kids. Sorry about using this platform for a rant, but I know there are many of us on this who love football. Of course, I'll be watching the Super Bowl tomorrow anyway! Although I live in Seattle now, I'm originally a New Yorker, so I'm gonna be rooting for the Eagles (east coast thing).

I hope all's well with all of you.

Elektra said...

P.S. I meant to say it takes me 3 days or more per level, not episode.

How can people pass levels when there are no new levels?_

Unknown said...

Level 10112 seems impossible! Thanks for all the help so far. Hoping I can still "post for luck" 🤞☘️

Luís Bernardo said...

Done thru #13520. Bad news for those behind me. Levels are becoming more and more difficult and the ways of obtaining boosters are gradually disappearing. No candy royal (I had it only once), no sweet movies, no adv at the beginning of the level or in the end when I fail. Only chocolate box with worst timed boosters.
Be careful with #13512 and don’t start with a CB/CB. You risk to generate an unstoppable cascade, having to interrupt the game and losing the streak. It happened to me. I still have “ plenty” of bars but I’m no longer enthusiasmed with this game. Good luck everyone

Esse jogo se resumiu pra mim em pagar os doces da caixa de chocolate, é mesmo assim quando tem que passar 2, 4 ou 6 fases eu não consigo.
Estou a mais de 4 dias presa na fase 13339, não tenho barras de ouro e nenhum booster, e não pensem que eu vou comprar, porque foi só eu comprar que tiraram todos os anúncios e se eu quiser passar agora tenho que ser obrigada a comprar, mas não comprarei mais.
Pra mim o CC tá virando um pesadelo e não vou ficar mais por muito tempo aqui, ainda tô com a esperança de devolverem o meu Candy Crush de antes.

Mike Baskey said...

Not sure how many of you play the purple candy contest but CC has outdone themselves this time. Levels 9563, 1000, even 728 have removed purple candies (in the latter 2 cases, replaced them with red candies). And yet, people are still scoring over 100000 points in first day of the contest (assuming its all the 10x multipliers for new levels, but as we know, winning 30-50 levels in a day is non-trivial. Would have been nice to get 3 party boosters for winning but not this time.
Well, made it to level 13000 - got bot streak of 155 (using gold bars, boosters from chocolate box, etc.). As Luis says (off in the stratosphere this he lives in rarefied air - I'm in awe!) keeping the bot streak is paramount. Every day, I lose a level to get the 3 extra moves, wait for a Candy Royale to start new levels, I even won a Sam's streak once. One thing I haven't seen is an Episode race. I get them every time on my new tablet but never on my FB account.
Have no in-game boosters (hammers, switches, etc.) except for 3 party boosters from the last purple candy contest - so gold bars are pretty much my only insurance when I run into trouble to keep the bot streak going (once I lose it, trying to win 5 levels in a row without the bot to restore is almost impossible). slow and steady - checking the YouTube videos lot more these days.

Df said...

quit this game not funnt stupid leveks blehhh

Mike Baskey said...

So, new "present" from our CC friends today. Hard/Nightmare levels are no longer marked on the map so you get surprised when you play and realize you're in a nightmare and you're not sleeping! Take level 13060 for example. Marked "normal" but try to beat it without boosters. There went my last party booster.
Even levels I've completed I know are nightmares are just marked normal.
On the positive side, think I can win the latest challenge with blue candies. At least 8238 and 3309 still have blue candies :-)
Got my bot streak to 217 - no in-game boosters but have 500 gold bars as insurance (which looks like I'll be needing more often now.
Seems like the blog is winding down (not many of us left it appears). Hints on certain levels hard to give when you're 200-300 levels behind those having problems :-)

Df said...

want to pass 13003 its not possibel, dont like the game anymore

Luís Bernardo said...

#13579 is the same old story invented by the programmers. You have plenty of orders but before you get the check mark candies you have to clear the board to allow them to drop. When you have them on the board you don’t have enough moves to convert them into what you want and the only way is to use 29 bars and buy a party booster. Otherwise you will loose your streak. Programmers are not being very creative and use this tactic in almost episodes. Good luck everyone.

Mariann said...

Mike, all my hard/nightmare markings were gone this morning, which I really didn't like for several reasons, but they're back now. Hope yours are too.

Sunny in Buffalo said...

My levels are back to being labeled too. Way back on 12,426, no tips just pure luck, good luck to all!

Mariann said...

I'm back on 13,311 and I'm the same Sunny ... no tips. Cookie was right to stop at level 10,000. There just aren't any game tips for passing later hard levels. They need either boosters or more moves. If you don't have those, you need patience waiting for a lucky board. The only worthwhile tips now are how to win gold/boosters or which boosters to use in a level.

Pat said...

Why does Candy Royal show on my events lineup, but I cannot open it? I have read in comments of others playing it, but I have never had the opportunity.

Mariann said...

Pat, Candy Royale shows up in my events about 5 days before it's available to play. On my device (mobile), it has a countdown: "3 days," then "2 days," then "1 day," and then an hourly countdown for 24 hours before it can be played. Though IIRC, it didn't used to show the countdown.

Passeio fluvial said...

Help 13369

Mike Baskey said...

Mariann - yes, my marking came back the next day or 2 so all good now. My latest challenges are when I come up on a "normal" level, which winds up being nightmare and the opposite, when I get "nightmare" marked level and find I have 37 moves to start (vs. the 22 in the video). So, not prepared for the normal ones which are impossible (goodbye bot streak) and over-prepared for the nightmares.
Got up to 13126 today (also found out I was in an episode race, which seems to have started yesterday and I was in 2nd place with the leader stuck on 13126. Supposed to be "normal" but the video shows massive pain and having to buy 21 extra moves. I was going to ask somebody who's already played it to check how many moves today but when I came back, the episode race disappeared off my screen after being away for 2 hours.
On the good news front, the latest level challenge gave me another 25 gold bars (for completing 25 levels - even old ones).
Sunny - why can the Sabres win on the road but lose at home? Think they won like 9 out of 10 on the road but no home-cooking for them. Oh well.

Luís Bernardo said...

Save your bars to episode #13622/25. All 15 levels are difficult or nightmares although not always classified accordingly. Play always with the initial boosters, try to start with a CB/CB and on #13615 and 17 use the check mark booster. Otherwise it will be impossible to get the orders. Good luck everyone

Luís Bernardo said...

I wanted to say episode #13611/25

Thanks for the tips Luis! I'm about 275 levels behind you but I'm taking notes. ;) I hope CC keeps the Candy Royale event going so I can keep stockpiling those gold bars.

Help 13380

Mike Baskey said...

Well, I'm now only 2 months behind the leaders (actually, it's seems Luis is alone in front :-) - just got thru 13250. Got my bot streak up to 150 and actually won bunch of episode races (just started showing up) and a few Candy Royales. As Luis points out, it's a balance of how many gold bars to use to win first time, keep bot streak/episode race alive vs. how many you get at the end. Up over 600 gold bars now, so far so good. Won a party booster but had to use it on 13243 along with 10 gold bars to avoid another nightmare!
Videos help but they're at best a month old so you always have the surprise of exactly how many moves you're going to start with (and CC changing the type of blockers to deal with). My "favorite" is the 2 kinds of chocolate and those levels where you have to avoid clearing the chocolate too soon and having to start all over with a new streak (if only you knew to add check booster BEFORE playing the level). 13246 cost me 10 gold bars for that very reason.

Luís Bernardo said...

Done thru #13655 being this last episode absolutely awful. I had to spent my last 2 party boosters.
Att Mike: I suggest you to see videos very carefully in order to decide to use or not the check mark booster because as I wrote before it is absolutely crucial in some levels and it’s not easy to get it. I have already suggest King to swap coconute wheels with ✅ or fishes but I didn’t get any answer. The good news is that King is now more generous an this week allowed us to win 55 extra bars🙏. Good luck everyone

Hello Cc
Level 13416 seems have a problem
Very very difficult very frustrating
Can’t get it close
Impossible to break the blocks above the right edge
So…
Need a great help
Posting for lucky board
Thanks CC:)

Luís Bernardo said...

I’m speechless with episode #13656/70. Only 2 or 3 levels are doable without boosters. Others are absolutely undoable without a very good star (CB/CB) or with expensive boosters and/or extra moves. Start with everything you can: CB, wraps, stripes, check mark,….
Att Mike: sorry to disappoint you. I’m not alone in front. There are lots of players ahead me and some of them with more than 100 levels. I think that people with windows 10 has episodes available sooner. At this stage I’m not worried about that. This game became so stressful that I really do not understand why I’m still playing it😂😂😰

I believe candy crush is full of bots. I am up to level 13623. It typically takes me a couple of days on each episode. I do not and have never spent money to play this game. Just watch the ads for boosters. Typically I win the episode race until I get to the champion race. It doesn’t matter how long it takes me to win the regular race. Sometimes a few days. But every time I’m about half way through the champion race, a bot streaks through the entire episode in around an hour to win. Anyone else notice this pattern?

R Gord said...

On level 13707, I recommend starting off with a check mark booster. I could not create enough creams until I started off with the check mark booster. Good luck to all.

Mariann said...

To Unknown - I guess I'm one of those "bots" you say "streaks through the entire episode in around an hour to win." LOL Because I generally combine an episode race with a Candy Royale (which requires passing each level on the first try and where speed is critical to win more gold bars), I usually complete an episode in an hour or so. Any player trying to keep a gold crown streak going will do the same. We're not bots. And I too have never spent a penny on CC and never will.

Mike Baskey said...

Now I wish I had taken Spanish instead of German in high school as the person who's posting is right with me (now at level 13399 leading an episode race) but I can't use/share hints as not able to parse their posts :-(
I know where Mariann is coming from - I try to play an episode through all 15 levels in 1 sitting (usually takes an hour to complete 15 levels) - hopefully able to start with bot streak and then combine with whatever boosters I can win from the chocolate box or other contests. I've been using gold bars as my "insurance policy" to keep my streak going (and win the episode races/candy royales to replenish the gold). This works "usually" although the last episode I wasted 51 gold bars on 1 episode (because I have no hammers/switches/UFOs/party boosters/etc). However, I do think there are bots for these contests as someone getting 1M purple candies in 2 days is beyond my imagination.
What's weird is on FB this week, the Royales come about every day but on my tablet/app it's 3-4 days. Plus, the app had contest to win green candies but not on FB.

Mariann said...

Sorry about those 51 gold bars Mike. I feel your pain. Good news ahead though. I did the 13,416 - 13, 430 episode yesterday. I had been dreading it because it has 4 levels marked hard plus 5 marked nightmare! But it turned out to be one of the best episodes I've played in a while. I had a streak going and also started each level with a CB and stripe/wrap. I didn't use any gold and only 2 switches and 1 hammer to get through the episode with my streak intact. I got 84 gold bars from Candy Royale plus 45 for the episode race. I then used the gold to buy 10 UFOs for future use because I doubt I'll be that lucky again any time soon. LOL

Mariann said...

Fred, you're right about 13,502. I saw two videos that completed the level in 19 moves with no boosters BUT the board has changed since then. The waffles have more layers, requiring more moves to break through them to get to the bottom which is its own special hell - need several moves to clear the swirls so the *sugar-coated* keys can drop. You need several keys to unlock the cherry and they drop slowly so it's impossible without boosters and/or extra moves. I passed it on my first attempt but I had a gold crown streak going (boosters + 3 extra moves).

Passeio fluvial said...

Mike Baskey said...

Been a while - made progress but now stuck on 13573 with no gold bars and very few boosters, both starters and in-game. I had won a couple of episode races but then this episode (which the other 4 have all somehow all completed days ago) has me stuck. I see Luis stopped commenting over a month ago and the ones still active aren't on this level to commiserate with me :-(
I've got the green candy contest on my tablet (leading there) but although I keep seeing the contest on FB, it never starts (which is where I could use the prizes!).
Pretty close to bagging it on FB - having 20K gold bars on the tablet vs. 7 on FB makes it hard to keep going. I did miss out on the trip to London (people scoring over 1M purple candies) but it rains a lot there anyway :-)

Sunny - Sabres came close this year - maybe next year playoffs?

Luís Bernardo said...

I’m still here but this game became so difficult that I decided to play new levels only when I need to complete the third and fourth chocolate boxes which means once or twice a week because I can do that with only one episode. My target is now to achieve #14000. My tips are now the same of anybody else: extra moves and bars😩😩. Stay well and do not desperate. This is only a game and there are lots of things more important than this. Good luck everyone.

Made it a little further but now stuck on 13582 - no bars, no hammers/switches and level doesn't allow fishes so this may be the end.
Fred - went back and played 13516 a few times - my sympathies :-( The only thing I noticed was with the train on the top and the middle, sometimes you can make color bombs. Also, I get 1 try a day on the newest level with 3 extra moves (play a previous nightmare level, lose and it gives me the extra moves for next time I try a new level. I then throw whatever boosters I can to start the level and that's worked a few times.
Sunny - good to hear from you - I did root for Leafs last night and kept them alive! I had positive thoughts about the Panthers after they beat the mighty Bruins (and they have Sam Reinhart) but you're right - I actually grew up watching the Leafs before the Sabres came - Norm Ulmann, Darryl Sittler, etc. so let's see if they can pull off the impossible comeback (let's go Ryan O'Reilly!).
Luis - good luck on your quest for 14000.

Mission accomplished 🙏😀. Done thru #14000. Last episode was absolutely awful. 5 nightmarishly levels and some of the other even more difficult than those. No motivation at all to proceed with this game. I still have more than 500 gold bars and 700 to receive from the Winter cup. I have thousands of CB, wheels, stripes and wraps and hundreds of switches and hammers but no enthusiasm to play this game anymore. It was a pleasure to share this space with you during all these years. I wish you all the best. Stay well and Good luck everyone 🍀

Mariann said...

Sorry to see you go Luis. I've appreciated your comments over the years so THANK YOU. I'm at 13,701 and still enjoy playing but CC does its best to dampen that enthusiasm. Remember a while back when they removed the purple from #1000 right before a purple candy challenge? Well, there's a "music tour" challenge starting tomorrow and I bet it's collecting green candies because they've removed them from our favorite green-collecting levels. They replaced the green in #1000 with yellow, the green in #8328 with red, and even the green in #3309 has been changed ... to orange. Grrrr.

Elektra said...

Like Mariann, I too have appreciated your comments, Luis, your tips, groans and successes through the years. I’ve completed levels through 13820 and have slowed WAY down, no longer trying to keep up with the Wednesday Club. The game has definitely lost its allure for me, which is good!! I’m still playing but no longer obsessively. (Now I’m enjoying playing a jigsaw puzzle app where absolutely no money is needed to continually “win”!) As I’ve posted before on this blog, I do spend money on CCS — I know that many (most?) of you don’t, but without the bot and unable to play and win the “champion” episode races, and needing extra moves on so many levels (thankfully we can now get up to 65 extra moves with 10 gold bars), I buy 1000 gold bars with $100 dollars every few months. I’m ashamed to say there was a time when I spent more to keep up — just how the evil geniuses at King devised the game. Anyway, again, I’ve really enjoyed “knowing” you, Luis!

Hello CC
Cc level 13537
Impossible for me to close this level
Too hard
Hope a great board
Thanks CC:):):)

Mike Baskey said...

So just wanted to add my best wishes and thanks to Luis for all the hints (and commiseration!). I struggled my way to 13617 (the last episode was brutal - especially now that I have no in-game boosters, no gold bars (just got 3 more to get me to 10 so I can beat 1 more nightmare level and then call it quits - or at least play 10 minutes a day to collect the 2 sets of boosters and some of the chocolate boxes).
I'm not in Luis stratosphere on my tablet but I do have over 22K gold bars so playing in the 11000s I can complete 15-30 levels a day, win every episode race (over 550 in a row) and the 7-8 levels in a row jackpot and it so much less stressful and/or frustrating (however, still annoying when they throw "easy" levels that destroy my bot streak :-)
Plus, playing there, they throw you the 3 extra moves plus UFO for some of the levels you can't beat so easier to keep bot streak going.
Sunny - kind of weird to see Eichel and Reinhart in the Stanley Cup finals. I'm rooting for Vegas (but was happy to see Florida beat Boston) as Florida a bit dirtier.
p.s. I played Royal Match for a while on my phone (it got installed there somehow) and I got up to level 800 before I found it too frustrating and deleted the app.

Sunny in Buffalo said...

Agree with Mike, I'm way back on 13,478, have lots of boosters & gold bars but use them sparingly, that's the only way now! We're rooting for Florida because of Reinhart & Montour. Still hazy & smokey from Canada, hope they are safe!

Dolce’ said...

Hi Sunny, Mike and ALL! So sorry to see Luis leave ☹️ I did shut down for a while because this game has just gotten way too predictable and crazy hard you can't do anything without boosters or stay on one game for a month. But I'm back and I'm trying it out again still on 13423 so I'm a little behind you. I live in Canada, it is not smoky in my province right now so that's good but it's horrible everywhere else and terrible that it it affects the US like it does! Best to all of you!

Pat said...

The Weekly Contest is a scam. Would you believe I have completed 11 levels since the new levels came out. One of the other contenders has completed 359 levels! It has to be rigged!

Mike Baskey said...

I managed to get some gold bars (candy royales and a few episode races) so now up to around 300 GBs and dozen CBs/wraps/etc. Just finished 13715 so slow and steady makes progress but doesn't win the race :-) I agree with Pat on the contests - I don't have it on my Facebook version but my tablet has purple candy contest and after completing 180 levels this week (just past 12000), I'm over 400K behind the leader. They've taken away the colors (e.g. green from 8328 and 3309) that you could pile up on so have to play new levels (10x or 30x) and no way I can do 400-500 levels in 3 days.
Anyway, seems like blog is pretty much gone - I'll check in once every month or so. The one thing I miss was the warnings on particular levels (I love it when you get a "normal" level you need dozens of extra moves to complete and then a "nightmare" level right after it that you complete with 14 moves to spare.
Good luck to those still playing.
p.s. Fred - all I can say is the number of moves change from the YouTube videos as often as the weather here in SC :-)

Sunny in Buffalo said...

Agree with Mike, no tips to offer, have plenty of gold bars & boosters but use them sparingly. Back on 13,779 ,summers are short in Buffalo rather be outside! Good luck to all!

Sunny in Buffalo said...

Wondering if anyone else gets up to 95+ moves with 10 gold bars if you don't pass the level, wow! Good luck everyone...

Mike Baskey said...

Just hit level 13764, which is now labelled "legendary". First I've seen of this (assume it's harder than nightmare). I need to pass it first time to win Candy Royale (only 8 people left) but I was wondering if anyone (Sunny?) had encountered this recently and had some hints. The YouTube videos are from March and it wasn't even marked hard back then. I have full bot but absolutely 0 in-game boosters to use so was hoping to keep going.
Appreciate any pointers - I'll hit it with the kitchen sink tomorrow morning and hope for the best.

Sunny in Buffalo said...

On 13,816 have never seen "legendary" yet. Good luck!

Mike Baskey said...

So I played the "legendary" level - cost me 26 gold bars but since it won me Candy Royale of 63 GBs, it was worth it (luckily got hand switch on the wheel which I needed to switch on last move to clear the gummies.
Now, I see 13770 and 13773 are both legendary so have that to look forward to (now need 6 first time levels to complete the 10 GB cho0colate box).
Sunny - since you're only couple of hundred levels ahead of me, this must be recent development. Maybe I need to take few months off as it seems the levels change rather frequently. Good luck to you as the current "trailblazer" for the blog!

Mariann said...

Mike - I'm at 13,936, right about where you all are, and I haven't run into any "legendary" levels. On my board (mobile) for that episode, 13,762, 13,764, 13,770, and 13,773 are all marked "nightmare." Do you see any "nightmare" levels or is it possible they just changed "nightmare" to "legendary" on your board?

Sunny in Buffalo said...

Like Mike I now have "legendary" levels. Stuck on 13,827. Perhaps they changed from nightmare cuz this one is ridiculous! Good luck everyone....

Rick said...

Hello guys! I’m still alive. I have been on level 12802 for a few months with just 2 gold bars and almost no boosters, particularly the hands and hammers. (I did not miss playing Candy Crush, although I read the blog once in a while.) Well, King gave me extra 24 moves to pass level 12802. Of course I completed it and continued playing other levels beyond that and won 3 Episode Races in the process, completing the next 45 levels all on first try. I am also leading the Weekly Contest and Sam’s Sweet Streak, although I noticed that the rewards now are all scaled down from what they use to be. I am now at level 12846 with 162 gold bars earned mainly from the Episode Races and Candy Royale. I am still way way behind. Sunny in Buffalo and the others have passed me already a long time ago. I don’t dream of joining the lead pack but I just hope to join the 13000 group. At least I still haven’t spent so far a penny of my own money in playing this game.

Gutted to come back to find it finished. I was hoping to get tips for level 11997 which I’ve been stuck on for weeks now. No boosters left, no gold bars. Think this must be the end of my journey? If the CC gods are looking a lot of luck now would be useful 🫣

Mike Baskey said...

Wow, Christmas in July - Rick and Luis back! :-)
I'm up to 13838 - looking at the videos, it seems like a 65 extra move level (even the video guys who never use boosters threw 2 party and 1 UFO booster). There goes 10 gold bars and my bot streak :-(
I had pretty much same experience as Rick - no gold bars, impossible level - finally passed it, got a few breaks and won some episode races and Candy Royales and now up to almost 400 GBs (but no in-game boosters like hammers and switches) so slow going trying to win Chocolate Boxes and other contests.
Glad others have the pleasure of experiencing "legendary" levels - thought CC had invented just to frustrate me :-)
I assume others have noticed but the color contests which used to be winnable by playing levels like 3309 and 8328 have taken out the colors like Green and Purple and they give you either 10x or 30x on new levels so you have to beat 100s of levels to win in 3 days - oh well.

Rick said...

Finally, after completing and winning 13 episodes in a row (all on first try), I  finally join the 13000 club. I increase also my gold bars to 705. I have several surprises, too. In addition to getting a 13000 banner, I received also a bunch of boosters including a piñata. I still have to do a lot of catching up, though. Sunny and Mike, among others, are in the high 13000s. Good luck, everyone!

Luís Bernardo said...

I do not see a big difference between nightmarishly and legendary levels. Both are almost impossible to pass without robust boosters or extra moves. One tip: save as many check mark boosters as you can because they are absolutely indispensable to complete lots of levels beyond #14000.

Pascorp said...

Any tips for 14071?

Rick said...

I was surprised I won the just-concluded Episode Race Finals. I won 80 gold bars, increasing my gold bars count to 1063. The contest is more like getting the most orange candies. Each orange candy from new levels is worth 30. I was trying to win the Weekly Contest but I did have enough time to pass the eventual winner. However, I collected enough orange candies to put me on first place in the race. I am now on level 13266, still about 600 levels behind Sunny and Mike, to name a few.

mdrea said...

Help 14068 please
I need help

Mike Baskey said...

Luis - agree on legendary vs. nightmare - I would also throw in "normal" levels. Just lot 45 level bot streak to 13896 and then 1 my 1 level streak to 13897 - both "normal". They're beatable but....
I seem to be able to win some of the weekly episode races (though they make take a day or 2 to complete these days) and some of the Candy Royales wind up giving 50 or more gold bars (of course, you have to spend gold bars to win them!). I won one on my tablet that gave 250 GBs (only cost me 51 to win :-).
Anyway, great to have Luis and Rick back - I'm saving 13900 for tomorrow with chocolate box and the 3 extra moves from losing an old level - bot streak only at 2 and still no in-game boosters to use.
BTW - the videos seem to be of little use now - they're all 4-5 months old and many of them wind up using Party Boosters and/or UFOs to complete (none of which I have).

After winning 35 Episode Races in a row, I made it to 23401 so far and I increase my gold bars count to 1389. I am waiting for the Candy Royale to show up to get additional gold bars but it shows up only about once in 3 days ir more.

It looks like a lot of players have dropped out or stop playing Candy Crush because less and less players are posting now in the blog. I can't blame them because the levels have become ridiculously difficult. Anyway good luck to those who are still persevering.

Rick said...

Sorry, I meant 13401, NOT 23401. There might not be leVel 23401 anymore.

Rick said...

I played the terrible episode from 13431 to 13445. It started with 3 consecutive Legendary levels followed by a Hard level and 3 Nightmarishly hard levels along the way.  However, I passed all the levels on first try and won the Episode Race.
I don't have an intention of playing the episode but the Candy Royale showed up and I got the urge to play it. It gave me an additional 30 extra gold bars in the process, however.

Very bad news fellows. I do not have (English) vocabulary to describe levels 14285-14330. Awful. Horrible. I still have plenty of boosters and bars but my strategy is now “wait and see”. King will have to change this. Otherwise people will give up and only the few (I believe) that are available to pay will remain. Is this the right strategy to maximize revenues? I would say no. Good luck everyone and stay well.

Peço mais uma vez ajuda pra passar da fase 14087 pra poder continuar jogando.

13558 tip. In 13558, there is an order of chocolate and orange candy. I completed everything and realized that I am short of the chocolate. I knew my game is lost because no more chocolate will appear to complete the order. So I am forced to start again. It snapped my more than 30-episode streak of completing levels on first try. On my next try, I added a check candy booster. Now, you can let the chocolate at the bottom of the screen to grow with a check candy. Also, you don't have to worry about clearing the chocolate there because When a check candy appears it will become chocolate. In case you have completed the chocolate order, the check candy will turn into orange candy, also needed for another order.

Finally made it to 14000! Cost me 200+ GBs to finish last 2 episodes and keep my bot streak alive - fortunately got 250 back from Candy royale (1/4 of 1000 GB jackpot). Couple of those "normal" levels got me where I had no hammers/switches so had to use GBs to complete (I'm now engaging in "high risk" Candy behavior :-) to keep bot streak going with no in-game boosters - oh well, you only live once!)
I don't get any of the contests that I see on my Android tablet in the Facebook version I play online.
It's hard to give hints because people are on such widely different levels but will try to pay attention as I run into those "surprise" levels and offer suggestions for when people get to them. I can only imagine what horrors are ahead in the 14K episodes (I know I'm in trouble as I only have 2 check boosters left and Luis has warned me about their importance).

Mariann said...

The check marks are pretty cheap - you get 20 for just 49 gold bars. I use the gold I get from Candy Royale to keep them on hand, figuring that costs me fewer gold bars in the long run to keep the gold crown streak going. I'm always looking to get the most bang for my buck (in this game not $ but gold LOL) That's why I generally only play new levels every 4 days, doing one episode along with Candy Royale.

Rick said...

Hey Mike, how do you get 250 gold bars from Candy Royale? The most I got is 62, I am now at 13611. I have completed over 800 levels in about a month and I'm still behind. I am in the finals of this Summer Game that I have no intention of playing. The winner gets only 200 gold bars. I can't even play Sweet Cinema. If I open it, it gets me to this Summer Game.

Mariann said...

I'll let Mike speak to his being 1/4 in a Candy Royale jackpot (I didn't get that) but I've gotten 250 before in the regular one. Last month I even got all 500 ... twice!! The last few I've played I only got 20 or 30. I'm guessing it has to do with what group you're put into and how fast you can complete the 7 levels. When I scored all 500, I figured I was the first of that group to complete the levels.

Is there a site to view HOW to play a level?

Rick said...

Bonita, you can watch a video of the level you want to play. The video, however, might be outdated because King might have reduced the number of moves or made it harder by adding more blockers or layers of them.

Preciso de ajuda na fase 14101. Estou presa e não tenho boosters ou barras de ouro. Por favor mande uma placa de sorte. Postado por sorte

Rick said...

King has a new subtle way of ending your streak. Your Candy Crush program will suddenly and unexpectedly crash on you while you are playing it, ending your streak and bot. You have no other recourse but to start all over again. It happened to me twice in an hour and 3 times in the last 2 days. Has this happened to anybody else?




Mike Baskey said...

So, it depends on how hard the levels are in the Candy Royale - I've gotten 125 a few times when there are only 3 others who comlete all the levels (although I'm skeptical on how closely they track the other players - e.g. I'll complete a nightmare level and they say only 11 people failed and then on the next normal level, another 52 fail). The one time I got 250, they doubled the jackpot to 1000 GBs and only 4 were left (the one I'm in now has that but also have to complete 14 levels to win).
I get Sweet Cinema on my laptop but not on FB - plus the Chocolate Boxes are different (FB has the old style where you can only win 3 and then have to wait for the 4th, laptop app lets you play all 4 but all you get are few boosters and 2 x 5 minutes UFO and switch/hammer).

For those who are just start 14001 episode, watch out for the 1st two "normal" levels - I needed extra moves on both (and then there's a "legendary" level next just to make it even more fun!

I just discovered I've been all wrong about how CC determines your "share" in Candy Royale. Since you receive your share as soon as you complete the required levels, I thought either (A) your share was based on the number of players who completed the levels at the same time/before you did (in which case speed would matter) or (B) your share was based on how many people had not yet dropped out (in which case going slower would be more beneficial, giving more players time to drop out). But I just read on CCFandom that you're not competing against *live* players. You're competing against *recordings* of other players. So your "share" is 100% pre-determined by what group you're assigned to. Sigh.

Mariann said...

Mike, that could also explain why more people in your group passed a nightmare level than a normal level. Because they're older recordings, some/all of them may have played different versions of those levels, as we've seen how often CC changes levels after first debuting them, making some harder and some easier.

Rick said...

I finally won a substantial amount of gold bars (135). My previous high is 62), increasing my gold bars count to 2049. I am now at level 13671, still trying to catch up. I used to have just 2 gold bars about a month ago, but I have won 55 consecutive Episode Races, almost all of them the levels were completed on first try. I notice, though, that the levels are getting more difficult.

Rick said...

It is still a mystery to me how King determines one's share of the gold bars in an Episode Race. It doesn't seem to be speed because I believe I am relatively fast in completing levels, otherwise I would not have won 50+ consecutive Episode Races. Yet, my highest for the time being is only 62 gold bars. King flashed on the screen the other playets' share of the 500 or so gold bars at the end of the Episode Race, but I don't pay attention to that.

Rick said...

I meant in the above comment Candy Royale in an Episode Race.

Mariann said...

It seems your share is pre-determined by the group you're assigned. Since CC is using the *recorded* play of the other 99, it's already known how many of the 99 successfully completed the task.

Rick said...

Yes, Mariann. It could be. Your share of gold bars is determined based on your performance compared to the other 99 players. But that begs the question of how many gold bars each of the other 99 players got and were determined when Candy Crush does not know yet the 100th player and how he or she will perform.

Rick said...

I think King has a predetermined chedule of how many gold bars a player gets based on how long it takes the player to complete the seven levels up to the seconds. For instance, if a player completes them in 3 mimutes and 30 seconds, he or she gets 35 gold bars. If the 7 levels are completed in 4 mi utes flat, the player is given 30 gold bars, and so on.
It does not explain, though, what happens in my case. I am near the end of one episode when the Candy Royale showed up. I knew I don't have anymore 7 levels yo play, so I was forced to play the next episode. So when I completed the 7 levels (on 2 episodes) I got my gold bars.

Sunny in Buffalo said...

I'm not convinced that the so called "players" are even real,perhaps King makes them up. Anyway back on 14,053, w/o gold bars/ boosters we'll be here for awhile, good luck to all!

Mike Baskey said...

Mariann - thanks for the explanation - it makes a lot of sense (especially when I watch old YT videos and people beat nightmare levels with no boosters - mostly because they have 35 moves vs. current 20 that I'm playing). I do share Sonny's skepticism though about King :-)
Warning for those coming to level 14020 - it says "normal" but it is a true nightmare. Needed full complement of boosters plus the 3 extra moves and still needed to buy some extra moves. Up to 14028 now (another "legendary" level).
I've been lucky where I spend some GBs to complete an episode but in doing so able to win shares in Candy Royales and get them back and few more (of course 350 isn't close to Rick's 2K+).
p.s. Thanks for the warning on 14053 - nice to know the light at the end of the tunnel truly is a train coming the other way :-)
