Level 566 in Alphabetty Saga far too difficult

John_Hawkins

I know that some levels on Alphabetty Saga can be tricky but this is one that within two moves usually you have to quit. I've gotten to the last move with one six letter word remaining to finish and had nothing. I've only got to that point once in several attempts. Most games will result in a double reshuffle and losing a life.

I've tried all the various starters include +2 crowns, remove mousetraps e.t.c, but only the +2 moves is worth using as you will at some point (usually at the start) have to waste two moves to get going.

Suggest that you consider removing the two exclamation marks in the middle or add one or two moves to make it passable. The start is down to pure luck and several times having 4 letter J's on the board or even a couple of Qu's means a restart almost immediately.

I agree. This is the kind of frustrating level that makes people quit the game. There are just too many types of blockers: unusual letters, mousetraps, exclaimers, stealers AND codices. Seriously what were they thinking.

Same here we had this problem some games back when we had to get 6 x10 letter words it was impossible until King decided to change it 10X6 letter words I wonder if they ever try these games out or are they just computer generated ?

Come on King you are going to lose a lot of loyal players !

I agree with all the above. I enjoy a challenge, but I shan't bother with this one again until it is revised.

I beat it! Removed the 2 exclamators, got crowns with 3 4-letter words, and used a +5 moves. Don't give up, you can beat it too!

Same here got a bit of a lucky board got to last one and even though I saw a 6 letter on board ran out of moves had 6 gold bars so reluctantly had to buy some ! Something I never do however am now stuck on the next level think they are going to continue being difficult

I think the point is that you should be able to finish a level without having to buy your way out of it.  If it can't be beat without a purchase, it's too hard, and not fair of King. IMHO

More than half the time, I cannot make a single move on this level, even starting with two crowns. Often, if I make just 1 move before I have to quit, I made a 3-letter word with 2 crowns.

Out of several hundred attempts to pass this level, the closest has been 1 6-letter word to go; got there once, and there were no vowels remaining.

Someone said to use +2 moves instead at the beginning. The Royal Guard is not available on this level. There is a +1 move, and that's pointless if you don't clear a significant part of the board on the first move, which is difficult to do with a 3- or 4-letter word, and it often doesn't matter because the four mousetraps move into the way and there's no way to make ANY 5-letter words because there are no 5 letters adjacent to each other.

Caseymc

I just passed it! I went in with Royal Guard (or Mermouse would work) giving me 2 extra moves, and got lucky I guess. I lucked out with a 6 letter word on the first move, and using the blaster it created really cleaned out the board. One thing I did learn was to try to start at the top of the board as starting at the bottom is problematic because the letters don't move down until the 3rd move. Hang in there. Oh, and the next level is a pain too. YAY

Royal Guard isn't available on this level. It's available only for puzzles with cheese blocks.

You're right. I must have used Cowboy Mouse or Mermouse. I think Cowboy Mouse as it's the default booster on level 566. It's also funny that this isn't even a "hard" level.

Jon_McDonald

Agreed.  This is a very difficult level.  I finally finished it without help.  Other than just pure luck, I can only offer this advise. If you can't start with a 6 letter word, at the Top of the puzzle, just start over.

another alphabetty level made with the feet

I got past it yesterday with Mystery Mouse plus a lot of free shuffles that I've been accumulating by launching the game between noon and 2 pm and spinning the wheel. I waited until I had 5 shuffles then I used them all and got lucky. Two of the shuffles produced no play and I had to shuffle again immediately to keep the game going.

One of the players said to try to start with a 6-letter word, but if you make 5-letter words with four letters and a crown, you get another crown. All my 5-letter words were 4 letters plus a crown in that game.

Free shuffles ? Where do they come from ? I used to get free gold but that stopped ages ago and what wheel to spin ? I have only seen the wheel on candy crush Are rules and freebies only available in certain countries or certain devices?

The wheel appears only between noon and 2 pm local time. It didn't appear today; it may have been something fleeting or came up after I got stuck for a month on this level.Usually I win a free crown from the wheel which is something you select before the game starts, which I've tried, and I have no idea what it did. No extra crowns appeared. I didn't get double crowns for a 4 letter word. I didn't get a crown on my head. I wasn't visited by royalty. The word "crown" didn't appear in the puzzle.There are six things on the wheel, one of them being the jackpot. I've only hit crowns and shuffles. I don't even remember what the others are. I'm sorry I cannot be more helpful.btw, you asked in an earlier post does King play the games to test them out? Yes. The employees play games an hour a day as part of their job. I don't think they are required to play King games, but I suspect they often or usually do.
