Level 6687 - Literally impossible

Level 1

It simply cannot be won without the use of a wrapped candy booster or extra moves, of which I have neither.
You're supposed to break X amount of the wood box things, but since it takes 3 hits to break them, and X amount needed is not a multiple of 3, you are not given enough moves to destroy all the ones present and they are not dolled out enough to reach the goal. I'm always left with 1 more box to break, but by that point, I am on 0 moves. They only dispense every other move, so they don't give you enough moves to win or they don't dispense enough to allow you to win.
And I find it very suspect that the level was just downgraded from "Nighmarishgly Hard" to just normal even though nothing else about it changed.

Hi @sokdrawer Nice to see you in our community and welcome!
I haven't scrolled back to take a look at this level just yet to see if you are right about it being mathematically impossible, but about the grading of levels: I believe this is not done deliberately by King to fool us. It is done by an automatic system which registers how many players succeed at the level (not sure if it is based on their first attempt or some other mechanism). This automated system lags therefore behind time. So any level that has been made made harder or indeed easier to pass in the past week ( and yes, they nerf levels up and down the entire game every week now, just to keep us all on our toes) will appear to have the wrong rating. If level 6687 appeared as ungraded on your map then players two or three weeks ago were probably getting a different version from you now. This may be a subtle change, a lucky board on their first attempt for example, or more moves, fewer blockers etc. So we cannot always trust the rating. I have found the same this past week, that unrated levels have held me up again and again, so they have obviously been made harder just this past week.

Yes, I can see this level is completely changed from last week! The first time I just tried it I saw a bomb order on the opening screen, the second time I don't though. The bomb levels were all dropped or gotten rid of at the end of last week. The older version of this level is shown in this video:
As King have changed the level just this week I can see why the rating is wrong, the system hasn't caught up yet.Did you play the lucky candy booster when you were left with 1 toffee swirl short @sokdrawer ? I am asking because whe I play without this booster I am always left 4 toffee swirls short of the order. I think you are right and the new version of this level is faulty. The game is helping me again and again clear the board by giving my chances to create combos of colour bombs and wraps, so seems easy. Except when I get to my last move I am always 4 toffee swirls short on the board:
This is yet another level that needs to be taken back to the design team as it would appear not to have been properly tested out @QueenB . I do hope all these problems with the former bomb levels will get fixed soon.
By the way, I did manage to pass using the lucky candy booster, but that cannot be the only way to pass a level like this. I would suggest this level needs a few more moves, we seem to be dropping two toffee swirls triplets short on each attempt.
