Not as random...

Reached 10.5k level and noticing now that harder levels are following a more specific initial start and candy drop. The trend is also figuring out that the obvious move isn't necessarily the best move. Anyone else noticing this?

Been noticing that since I hit the 2000 mark on even the regular levels. Heck, I've been seeing it since the start of the game on certain levels.

I'm not too familiar with the game's mechanics (not a dev after all), so I don't know what goes into the design and layout of the game's candy drops. But what I have noticed are these two things:

1. The ability to beat a level on the first try gets increasingly harder after a certain point. Some levels make you wait days, or even weeks in order to beat them (I've been stuck on some levels for almost a month before getting through them, for instance)
2. These specific levels are randomized in where they come in. Sometimes its the harder ones, sometimes the normal ones. Some groups of 15 have a few levels like this, some have none. It's not consistent across the board.
