I had the same thing happen to me today. I had 14584 gold (barely visible through the dark overlay in the top right corner), and was supposed to receive 35 from the race, but ended up with just 14614. Is this a sign that they are going to move me to the '30 gold' test group? Sigh.

You usually find this out by accident when something weird starts happening in your game. In my case, I stumbled across two levels that were marked as 'Normal', but they turned out to be ridiculously hard. I went to check for videos and the boards shown in them were different. After reviewing other videos for that episode,…

You and I are part of the test group that has levels above 12,000 arranged in a different order. This board is actually level 12202 for most people. I found a video that managed to pass this level in 25 moves. It illustrates what a lucky board for this level might look like. Basically, in addition to a couple of…

Hello @sandrmurphy Is your level 12212 the same as mine?

King control the pass/fail/one move short outcome by the direction of the stripes on the candies that drop. I'm sure they do. Thank you for pointing this level out. It was an interesting level to play!

The wraps appear to have a limit on how many can drop per move to avoid an endless fish loop (only one?) The moment a fish eats one of the stripes another one immediately drops. Yes, due to the board now having one stripe less. there must be some time delay as well. Maybe there's a limit on how many can drop per move too.…

I have an idea about the stripes. The game won't drop a stripe if you have two or more already on board. In the screenshot below, I have a position similar to yours. A stripe on the main board (probably) caused the dispensers to stop producing stripes until I ran out of moves. I encountered the same situation again in a…

Hello @andreahope I managed to pass this with just one hammer using the following strategy: 1. I avoided making matches next to the mixers at all costs. I only made moves in the middle of the board if there were no other options. 2. I tried to remove the frosting from the outer columns early so that the stripes from the…

Hi @BatthulaPhilip You cannot rely on YouTube videos to determine the number of moves other players have. That video is two years old. The game has changed a lot since then, and the number of moves has been reduced on many levels, particularly on Legendary levels. My level 7836 has 17 moves now too.

In fact I have noted that the end of level algorithms, which appear to be separate from the beginning of level algorithms, have also become more obvious on some levels. Have you noticed this perhaps as well where you are playing? It's difficult for me to pinpoint the end of level algorithms, even though I often play levels…
