Opponents on live leaderboards: random or fixed? Real or fake?
For one reason or another I have hardly played Candy Crush in the past two weeks. This has lead to some interesting discoveries as prize palooza shows up. My theory is that we are each given bespoke opponents by the game to match our own activity. So having been inactive in all my accounts I should be seeing easier…

New: useless hints
I have noticed today that game hints have become simplified and follow a strict hierarchy. This must be a new change as I am sure I would have noticed this before.

January 2026 Winter Cup finals experience
I was taking a nostalgic tour into past Winter Cup threads and it saddens me how the game has changed. There were over 500 posts in 2023/24 and such a bustle of enthusiasm.

I am seeing friends in my weekly contest again.... anyone else?
This looks like a step back in time: Most of the players in my weekly contest this week are part of my friends list! None of them are my community friends, but Tammi, Godfrey, Diego and Hazel are all my friends. Are King going back to the old system? Is anyone else seeing this?

As it's been Christmas family time I only started playing the round on Sunday on one account and Monday on the other three accounts. I am now quite sure that these live leaderboard events are bespoke and our opponents not random.…
