Non-beneficial moves! Level 2460 shows match involving ingredients instead of striped candy

Evan_Lei

I tried this level several times in level 2460 showing the hint moves trying to match a candy within the column of the ingredient that was landed. It doesn't show a striped candy match suggestion, which makes me sad and I was crying. I don't know why, even if there is one empty tile blocking the column. It happens sometimes.

@Evan_Lei Hi, Its not hinting at the orange candies as they do not help its hinting at the icing as it needs removing for the ingredients to drop. giving you a hint for the task that needs completing

@Evan_Lei Hi and welcome,

The hints are just there as a guide for help. They do not always show the best move. I disabled hints a long time ago as they will not show the best move available to you sometimes. Always do the move you think is best and just use the hints when you have no better alternative

Thank you

@Evan_Lei I play with the hints turned on, but as Freddy says I quickly learnt that the hint does not show the best move on the board. I learnt this because at one time the hint was showing me a match 4 when I had a colour bomb next to a striped candy.

Here is a picture because it doesn't hint four orange candies. It only hints three purple candies.

It is likely a suggested move or hint bug/glitch!
