Let players know how close they are to a difficult level when asked to continue

One key factor that can help players make a better decision whether or not to continue a level after a failure condition is met (e.g. run out of moves or allow a Candy Bomb to detonate) is how many levels away is the player from a difficult level. This piece of information can be helpful because if a player with a max reward win streak on the line when they are asked to continue on a failed level knows up front how close they are to a hard, nightmarish or legendary level will give them more of a reason to do everything they can to save that win streak because the max reward of a win streak can be absolutely pivotal in beating difficult levels. Conversely, knowing that a hard level is still 6 or more levels away can allow them to seriously consider sparing their gold bars, surrendering and allowing the win streak to break.

If you already have lifes sent from friends, you can claim that when you are low on lifes. If I've been close to where I need a couple of moves, or if a level is rated hard, I use it on the 9th try. If I wasn't close, or it is a super hard level, nightmarishly hard level, or legendary level, I would try to get 40-90 moves from the level moves and the bonus moves. I don't really understand it, but if im right, then it's in the game, if not, IDK.
