Candy Crush Frog

How do I use the Frog in Candy Crush?

From level 606 in Candy Crush Saga you will encounter the frog. The frog can be any colour that's on the board and can be matched like a normal candy. 
You can move it around the board and match it with candies of the same colour but it never goes away, and it doesn't fall down the board in cascades, gravity doesn't affect it!
It just stays exactly where it's put! 

At first glance it doesn't seem to do a lot, but watch closely as you match it with other candies of the same colour and you'll see it gets fatter and fatter, until after 4 matches the gravelly voice says "frogtastic".
A quick way to grow the frog is to use a colour bomb on the same colour candies as the frog, he will eat all candies removed by the colour bomb and grow to full size in one match normally.
He needs to eat 12 candies to grow to full size from empty, so take note of how many candies are on the board when you use a colour bomb to grow the frog.

Then you will se the frog pulses..It has a circle around it and is fat and round.
Now click on it and it will turn lighter. 
Then go to another part of the board that you want to clear and hover your mouse and you will see a pale outline around a group of 9 squares. Once you have the pale outline where you want it, click your mouse and the 9 squares will be completelycleared.
 Then The frog will go back to being small again and a different colour to start all over again.
If you want to clear underneath an ingredient be careful not to put the frog directly beneath the ingredient or it will block it from dropping down.
Also if there is a lot of licorice to clear don't put the frog in the middle or the bottom rows or the licorice will surround the frog afterwards and make it more difficult to grow it again.
If the frog is matched as part of a line of 4 it will turn into a striped frog, and next time you switch it, it will give you a line blast the same as a stripe would.
Likewise it you use it as part of a L or T shape it will turn into a wrapped frog! Switch the wrapped frog and you get a wrap explosion.
The same rule applies to a colour bomb so a very powerful tool in our limited Candy Crush arsenal.
Once the frog is full size you can switch it with any special which will cause the special to fire off as normal.
Below is a video showing the basics of how it works, although there are a lot of things it does that don't show on the video. To see the other ways to use the frog watch my other videos for the frog levels.

Candy Crush Saga Scoring

How to get amazing high scores in Candy Crush Saga.

The scoring in Candy Crush is quite complicated and it would be almost impossible for me to list every score combination possible in one post, but here are a few pointers to help you get those elusive high scores.
Here I'll give you the basic scoring without jelly.
First of all, matching 3 candies will give you 60 points.
Making a stripe will give you 120 points.
Making a wrap will give you 200 points.
Making a colour bomb will give you 200 points.
Matching a stripe will cause a blast across the board, the same way as the stripes on the candy point, and each candy in the path of the stripe gives 60 points.
Matching a wrap gives 540 points plus 60 for each candy destroyed.
Matching a colour bomb gives 1200 plus 60 for every candy destroyed.
Timed bombs......Will give you 3000 points each.
Cream..... will give 20 points per square.
Here is the blast from a colour bomb

The main thing to remember is that a colour bomb will give you the chance to increase your score at any time. It is the best special candy by far.
Mixed with another special candy it is even better! Plus on jelly squares it is better still!

Here is the basic scoring on jelly levels.
Jelly squares are worth 1000 points each, so if you make a match of 3 candies on top of jelly you will get 3000 points for the jelly, plus 60 for the match of 3.
Making a wrap will give 5000 points plus the 200 for the match of 5.
A stripe will give you 4000 plus the 120 for the match of 4.
Making a colour bomb on jelly will give 6120 points.

Now here's where it gets interesting... Combo's will increase your scores significantly, especially on jelly levels. A stripe/wrap combo takes out 3 lines and 3 columns, and each candy destroyed gives you 60 points, with jelly on the candies you will also get 1000 points for each one, so that's 1060 for every candy destroyed.
A colour bomb alone on a jelly level will give 1060 points for each candy, but with a stripe will be multiplied by however many jellies the stripes take out, so significantly more points.
One other combo you can use to get good scores is a colour bomb on wrap. You get a wrap for every candy of the same colour as the wrap you switched with the colourbomb, so the wrap score multiplied by the number of wraps.
In jelly levels the colour bomb on wrap gives you 1060 for every candy destroyed.
These scores are not taking into account any cascades caused by your matches.. As the candies fall down to fill the spaces left any matches which fall spontaneously score progressively higher with each match, so working at the bottom of the board to cause maximum cascades is another good way to increase scores.

In order of preference here's a list of the best combos for getting high scores..
1.  Stripe on stripe                      OK
2.  wrap on wrap.                        Good
3.  Stripe on wrap                       Very good
4.  Colour bomb on stripe          Better
5.  Colour bomb on wrap.          Best if there are a lot of the right colour candies.

Switching 2 colour bombs together, whilst good for clearing timed bombs and licorice, gives very few points compared to other combinations. 

It has been reported also by mobile players that high scores are more difficult on mobiles than on PC and laptops. The cascades don't seem to be as good on mobiles devices.

How to get 3 stars on Candy Crush Saga
You have passed your level but only have one or two stars and you want to get that extra star to beat your friends, here's some tips on getting three stars on Candy Crush.


1.  If you are on a jelly level don't destroy the jelly too quickly. Once you have cleared all the jelly it's game over and whatever moves you have left will be turned into fish, which only give 60 points each. Save the last couple of jellies for the last moves to maximise your score.
2.  Match a colour bomb with a single candy to avoid clearing too many jellies as you would by switching with a stripe or wrap.
3.   If there are timer bombs on the board use a colour bomb to destroy as many as possible, you will get higher scores than just matching them.
4.   Whatever level you are playing you should ALWAYS be looking for colour bombs before everything else, read our advanced tips for making colour bombs.
5.  Although the bonus for finishing early on ingredients levels is much better than jelly levels, it's still better to keep the ingredients on the board for as long as possible and keep making colour bombs.

Candy Crush Saga most fun levels.

We all know that Candy Crush Saga can be quite challenging, but it can also be a lot of FUN!
Every day on our All Help group one of our expert players chooses a level for a challenge.
All members are welcome to play and we have found over time which are the most fun levels to play.
Our members find the levels with lots of cascades, either during or at the end of the game, the most fun to play.
Below is a list of some of the levels which have been the most popular as our daily challenges.
This list is by no means comprehensive and we welcome feedback from players who read this blog.
The list will be added to as time goes on and more fun levels are discovered.

Level 16.  An early level which can give quite amazing scores without even making a move!

Level 65.  This used to be one of the difficult levels until it was modified and now it is one of the fun levels.

Level 66.   This has been nominated by one of our readers.

Levels 111, 112 & 113 are all great fun to play, although 112 can be a bit more difficult than the other 2.

Level 143. Can be a bit risky getting started as you need to destroy the bomb in the middle first, but once the board is opened up it's combos galore.

Level 188. Use the combos provided to get rid of the chocolate and you're away!

Level 268.  An ingredients level which sometimes takes a bit of getting going, but once the board is open scores in the millions are achievable.

Level 281.  Open up the board on level 281 and watch the fun! You don't need to do much once it gets going, just hope for lots of colour bombs.

Level 309.  This is an ingredient level with lots of cream blockers but only 4 colours of candy so specials and combos fall from the sky! Scores in the millions are common.

Level 336.  Once again you just need to open up the board by destroying the cream and watch the cascades!

Level 363.  There are only 4 colours on level 363 so making specials and combos is easy. Great level to practise on.

Level 370. This level looks frightening when you first see it, a whole board full of bombs! But fantastic high scores are possible if you can use the bombs to make colour bombs before the cake is destroyed.

Level 666. Once you get past the bombs this is a great level to play, also good for the sugar drop challenge.

Level 906.  One of my favourite levels to collect sugar drops, you can get up to 40 which on PC is doubled to 80 and it's a fun level to play, lots of colour bombs and explosions!

Level 1000.  This level is played quite a lot for the colour challenges as you get a lot of candies falling.

This is by no means a comprehensive list of fun levels and if you think you know one, or more, let us know by leaving a comment at the botton of this post and we'll test it and add it to the list.
