Not enough licorice swirls on level 1490
On level 1490 you have to get 25 blocks, 15 chocolates, and 35 licorice swirls. Every single time I get down to 0 moves I still have to get 3 licorice swirls. It's like the game won't generate enough for me to pass the level. Is anyone else having this problem or have a suggestion on how to get the game to drop more?

When you clear a licorice, it will not generate a new one on the next turn, and it will only generate one per turn. You start with 19, so you need to create 16. Clearing one, wait a turn, get another, clear.. consumes 3 turns per licorice which won't work. Avoid moves that clear licorice until you have enough built up to finish. Same thing applies to chocolate in this episode. Let it spread first - don't clear one at a time, then have to wait a turn.

I don't see a way to do this level breaking one licorice at a time. If you don't use combos you can't get the other items you need to get. And you can't control how many licorice get broken each time in any event.The trick with that is you have to hit the swirls individually, if you hit more than one in a single shot...ie...bomb or freckle it only counts as one

Doesn't seem like this is the correct solution…. No way to get on a desktop version?

This does not seem to work because if I let the swirls to build then I can clear the required number as well as the chocolates but way behind on the frosting blocks.

Don't know what the answer is, but some of the above suggestions are wrong. You can hit multiple licorice at once (and get credit for them). I was lucky enough to get two bombs next to each other probably 12 or so moves left, and wiped out the whole bottom of the puzzle at once. That made it easy to clear the rest of the puzzle, but I still had trouble getting enough licorice. I had the two remaining licorice with 1 move left and ended up having to buy a time extension to get the last one. I'm at level 1490, so clearly I like the game, but levels like this just seem so arbitrary as to whether or not the computer is going to let you finish.
