Candy Crush Saga – An Introduction

About the Game

As a “Match 3” type game, Candy Crush Saga is a popular game of candies available in Facebook

and various Android devices. Here, the main objective is to switch the position of candies to

match the same-colored candies. The result? Matching 3 candies of the same color will crush all

the three candies, giving you points for each.

However, this is just the beginning. Each puzzle of Candy Crush Saga has a different set of

mission parameters. As you match more and more same-colored candies, you will gain

additional points. Similarly, matching more than 3 candies will give you special candies, which

means a boost in your points!

To complete a level, you either have limited moves or limited time. So, focus on every move

carefully while matching candies because each move counts. When you have reached the

required score, it means that you have completed a level.

As you go ahead in the game, you will be introduced to power-ups and other helpful items you

will be using when you reach the challenging levels of the game.

The “Candy Crush” Moment

You will get the “Candy Crush” moment in each level, provided what the requirement of that

particular level is. This depends on the following two situations:

1. When you had been given a specific target score to complete within a certain time limit,

and you have successfully crossed this target.

2. When you have been given limited moves to complete a level, and you do it successfully by

reaching the targeted score.

Here, it is important to mention that getting the “Candy Crush” comment in each level is the

key to your success of crushing these candies. This is how you pass each level. However, you

need to be consistent in matching candies with the best combinations. Once you learn how to

do it, you will be able to get maximum special candies, leading to high scores.

Special Candies: Their Types and How to Get Them

Before you learn about special candies, let’s have a look at the regular ones. Each regular candy

has a different color and shape as mentioned below:

Red: Jelly bean

Orange: Lozenge

Blue: Lollipop head

Purple: Cluster

Yellow: Lemon Drop

Now, coming back to special candies, identify them in the game by knowing each one of them

in the following paragraphs:

Striped Candy

Appearance: This candy has vertical or horizontal white strips on it.

How to get it: Match four same-colored regular candies in a single row or column.

Effect: It will clear the entire row or column in which you matched the four candies.

Wrapped Candy

Appearance: This candy is the one with a square-shaped wrapper.

How to get it: Match the five same-colored regular candies in an L or T shape.

Effect: It clears eight of the surrounding candies, and activates twice.

Color bomb

Appearance: It is a chocolate ball that is coated with colorful sprinkles

How to get it: Match five same-colored candies in a single row.

Effect: When you switch it with any one regular candy, it will crush all the candies that have the

same color as the one that was switched.

Jelly Fish

Appearance: It is a candy in the form of a fish. Its colors vary.

How to get it: This special candy can either be bought from Yeti Shop, or brought when the

Sugar Crush happens. You can experience this in the Jelly levels, in which each move left

becomes three fish.

Effect: This candy brings three jelly fish in the game. These fish eat a candy each, and activate

special candies when targeted.

Coconut Wheel

Appearance: It is a pink-colored coconut wheel. Its center is made of chocolate.

How to get it: You can buy it from Yeti Shop. However, you will be able to get it easily in the

later levels.

Though these were the descriptions, effects, and tips of getting special candies while playing

the game, you can get the highest score by using these special candies the right way. This

means that you should not only focus on how to get these special candies, but also try to come

up with different “combinations” by matching these candies with each other.

Combinations of Special Candies

Have a look below how this magic works and crushes all the candies:

To produce amplified effects and get the highest score, combine the special candies together in

the following ways:

Striped Candy + Wrapped Candy

Effect: Combine them to clear 3 columns and 3 rows in cross formation.

Striped Candy + Color Bomb

Effect: Combine these special candies to transform all the same-colored candies to Striped

Candy, and activating all of them.

Striped Candy + Jelly Fish

Effect: Combine these special candies to create a fish of 3 stripes. This candy will convert any of

the eaten candies to Striped Candies, and will activate them.

Striped Candy + Candy 2: Coconut Wheel

Effect: Combine these special candies to activate the Coconut Wheel. It will transform all the

candies in an entire row or column into the Striped Candy.

Candy 1: Wrapped Candy + Candy 2: Wrapped Candy

Effect: Combine the two wrapped candies to crush 24 candies that surround the Wrapped

Candy. Also, the blast pushes back the other candies.

Candy 1: Wrapped Candy + Candy 2: Color Bomb

Effect: Combine these special candies to activate the Color Bomb for two times. Choose the

regular candy to switch with. The second regular candy is randomly chosen.

Wrapped Candy + Jelly Fish

Effect: Combine these special candies to create three “wrapped jelly fish.” These special candies

will transform the eaten candy into “Wrapped Candies” and will activate them.

Wrapped Candy + Coconut Wheel

Effect: Combine these special candies to transform an entire row of the candies to Wrapped

Candies.

Color Bomb + Color Bomb

Effect: Combine both the color bombs to crush all the candies on the board. However, this

combination does not remove chocolate.

Color Bomb + Jelly Fish

Combine these special candies to come up with a special candy that transforms an eaten candy

to one more jelly fish, and activates other jelly fish.

Color Bomb + Coconut Wheel

Combine these special candies to transform an entire column or row of candies in the form of

Striped Candy while activating them. By doing this, you will get the same effect as that of

combining Striped Candy and Coconut Wheel, or when you combine 2 Coconut Wheels

together.

Levels

You will be able to go further into the technicalities of the game only when you can complete

your current level. For this reason, you should learn about the different types of levels you will

come across while playing Candy Crush Saga. Each level has a requirement of its own. So, get an

edge on all of them by reading about them:

How to play the Jelly Level

When you have completed the game’s basic levels, the first level which will be tougher for you

will be the Jelly level. While playing this level, keep only one thing in mind, i.e. “Remove the

Jelly”, as instructed when the level starts. This means that you need to get rid of all the jellies

which are visible in the board.

Start removing jelly from each regular candy by matching it with the other two (same-colored)

candies. Once you do this, the jelly surrounding the candy will be crushed. Repeat this

procedure throughout the jelly levels. Obviously, there is nothing better than this if you can get

special candies, leading to destroying more jelly from the board.

How to play the Ingredients Level

Here, you will be asked to bring down the ingredients such as, cherry and nuts. In the

beginning, each ingredient level consists of 2 to 4 ingredients. You can bring them down by

matching candies from the bottom of the candy board. The more you match candies, make

special candies, and come up with candy combinations, the easier it will be to eliminate those

ingredients from the current level.

An easy way to bring down all the given ingredients in to make vertical matches. Once you

begin to do this, you will notice that the candies are dropping down, along with the ingredients.

Also, try to make special candies by analyzing the overall pattern of the game board. If you get a

chance to match 2 special candies, you will see a chain reaction, i.e. an even better step to bring

the down the ingredients!

How to Play the Timed Level

In the timed level, you will be given 60 seconds, in which you have to reach a targeted score, for

example, 40,000 points. Initially, doing this requires simplicity in the game, i.e. to match candies

as quickly as possible. However, this will not guarantee you that you will pass the level. So,

what should you do now? Again, the key is to keep an eye on the patterns of special candies.

An interesting thing about the timed level is its timed candy. It is of any color, and once you

match it with the other two same-colored candies, you will get 5 extra seconds, a blessing to

increase your timely moves! When this timed candy appears on the game board, leave

everything and try to make a match with it. After all, what matters the most in this level is time.

Things to Unlock In Candy Crush Saga

What keeps the excitement of playing Candy Crush Saga includes many things you can look

forward to in the game. As you play on, you will come across various items waiting to be

unlocked. Of course, you need to learn the tricks before getting all those valuable charms of the

game. Have a look below to know the things you can unlock:

The Next Episode (3 Friends’ Help)

When you pass 20 levels of the game, it means that you have completed an episode. Now, it is

time to enter the next episode with some more challenging levels. However, there is no direct

way to explore the new levels. It is possible to unlock the next episode by asking for your

friends’ help. Send them a request on Facebook. If you get tickets from 3 friends, you will

qualify for the next episode!

A useful tip:

Make sure that you send a help request to as many of your Facebook friends as possible. This

will increase the possibility of getting tickets from any 3 of these friends on the same day.

Unlocking Boosters

Boosters help a lot whenever you are facing a tricky situation. However, your access to boosters

depends on their types. For instance, with a Color Bomb booster, you can begin playing right

from the start. Likewise, the Jelly Fish booster gives you a chance to clear the jelly.

You need to activate other boosters while playing a level. You can do this by tapping a button

on the top-left corner of your screen. Once you have unlocked a booster, you can get rid of any

candy that is difficult to be crushed. For instance, the “Lollipop Hammer” booster will help you

eliminate any one of the candies from a particular level. Similarly, the “+5 More Moves”

booster will immediately give you five extra moves.

Now, comes the “Sweet Teeth” booster. You can buy it with the help of Facebook credits, and

use it 3 times in the game. To use this special booster, simply click on the icon of false teeth

located on the top-right corner of the screen. When you activate it, it will eat up several

squares of candies. It will help you remove anything on the game board such as, cream, licorice,

chocolate, and jelly.

Another booster worth mentioning is the Shuffle Candy. You will be able to have access to it

after completing Level 30. When you do this successfully, you can shuffle all the candies in your

game board. Activate this booster and see the magic! All the regular candies and special candies

will be mixed up, creating new possibilities to match candies.

A useful tip: Though there is nothing more exciting as using a Lollipop Hammer to crush the

most irritating candies, you should save it for the rainy day! There are even more challenging

levels to come as you play further. So, a Lollipop Hammer will show you its real worth in harder

levels such as, Level 33.

Going Further In the Game

There is a lot more to learn other than matching regular and special candies. Sometimes, you

may want to escape from the current level and reach the top! This is definitely possible, but

with a little guidance. Get an edge over your friends by playing like a Candy Crush champion.

Learn the tactics mentioned below and take your gaming expertise to a higher level:

How To Get More Lives

You have 5 lives at a time. If you are left with no lives to continue with your current level, you

can get them easily. There are two ways to get back lives:

1. Buy lives

2. Get lives for free!

Of course, the second option is the most attractive. Use it by sending a request to your

Facebook friends. The more friends you will click on, the better its response will be. The next

time you sign into it, you will see that you have received lives from your friends. You can thank

them by sending a live back.

Besides this, there is another way to get lives. When the game ends, you will see a small clock

on the same screen. It shows the number of seconds left to get one life. So, all you need to do is

to wait for a few seconds. When the seconds have been completed, you will get 1 life. Wait for

some more seconds to get all the 5 lives again.

How to Deal with Extra Moves

Remember that you have a limited number of moves. Also, keep in mind that each move

matters. In some situations, you are just one move away from completing a level. To handle this

situation in the best manner, make use of each move wisely. Here, special candies are your best

friends. So, find every opportunity to match more than three candies at once. It may be that

you have coincidentally got 2 special candies in the same row or column. Match them to make

your move worthwhile.

Throughout the game, your friends will give you extra lives and moves. Return this favor by

giving them back often. This way, your friends will continue helping you in getting extra moves.

How To Crush Locked Candies

From “Level 36” onwards, you will encounter locked candies. These are regular candies, but are

“locked.” You cannot move them or swap with other candies unless you make the right moves

in the game.

To understand how to remove locked candies, have a look at the image below:

Look at the possible match of 3 green candies. Swapping the green candy with the red one will

not unlock the purple locked candy. To get rid of these locks, you need to swap the locked

candies with other same-colored candies.

Now, look at the possible match of orange candies. Swapping the orange candy with the red

one will unlock the locked orange candy. However, this move will not eliminate this orange

candy with the other two orange candies. This means that you need to match it one more time.

How to Compare Your Score

Completing each level will show you your score, as well as your friends’ score. If you gain higher

score than any one of your friends, it will show you that you have beaten them in the game.

This way, you will be able to compare your score with all of your friends who play Candy Crush

Saga. However, this is not the end. You can also share your score by posting it on your timeline!

How to Bring “Sugar Crush” In Each Level

If you play really well, you will get the Sugar Crush moment. It actually is a bonus score after the

completion of a level. You can get it if you are left with special candies or some unused moves.

Analyze the best pattern of candies for each move. If it is other than the timed level, then take

your time to have a look at the game board for a while. Once you figure out the best possible

match of candies, go for it. It is possible to come up with chain reactions of combining special

candies together, leading to Sugar Crush in a single move!

If you are required to clear all the jelly, then focus on this ultimate game tactic: Don’t worry

about the game score! You will be able to reach the targeted score easily. So, give your first

priority to clearing all the candies surrounded by jellies. While clearing them, begin from the

bottom first. If you successfully create chain reactions by playing at the bottom of the game

board, the candies will burst into giving you more points.

Eventually, more new candies will appear in the game board, which will give you more chances

to match candies and create special candies.

How to Align Your Candy Crush Saga Game on Facebook with Your

Phone

No matter where you are, you can play Candy Crush Saga anywhere! If you want to play the

game on your phone, you can do so easily. As you open it, you will get the same level, and the

same score which you made while playing Candy Crush Saga on Facebook. Simply click on the

option “Play on Your Phone”, and there you are.

How to Get Charms

The most charming quality of Candy Crush charms is that once you purchase one, you will

benefit from it forever. Unlike charms, other purchased items of the game can only be utilized

once.

Though you can use charms whenever you want in the game, these items can either be

activated or deactivated. You can toggle some of the charms on or off from the screen map. An

example of such charms is “Charm of Frozen Time”. These charms are located next to boosters.

There are many other charms as well, such as the “Charm of Stripes.” You are required to use

this charm while playing a level. To access it, you need to tap a corresponding button located in

the screen’s top-left corner. Besides this, you can find the “Charm of Life” easily, as it remains

active.

Why Should You Use the Charm of Life?

The best thing about purchasing the Charm of Life is that it gives you an increased number of

lives, i.e. from five to eight. So, who wouldn’t want that? Secondly, using this charm simply

means that you will be getting 8 lives in a day, instead of 5. Besides this, if you buy a life refill,

you will get 8 lives.

Ongoing Comments in Each Level

The comments throughout the Candy Crush Saga game are what drive candy lovers to play

more. As you crush candies in an exceptional way, you will see interesting comments such as,

“Sweet”, “Delicious”, and “Tasty.” If you get these comments, it means that you have done well

so far. Look further to play more wisely by aiming for color bombs.

Final Word

Now that you have learned what it takes to pass all the levels of Candy Crush Saga, there is

nothing more you should look forward to. So, it is time to challenge yourself to get the best

game score. Play on, post your candy crush success on Facebook, and let the world know how

creative you are in crushing all kinds of candies!

Also, never forget to help your friends in this exciting candy crushing journey! Remember that it

is a purely “Give & Take” game. To win, helping your friends in the game will give you the

maximum benefit. So, send a live or an extra move to them whenever you get a chance.

Eventually, they will be sending you the much needed lives and moves back! This is definitely a

sugar treat you deserve.
