How to play

So does the algorithm learn how I play?

If you are referring to my own post above, then it's not quite as straightforward as I thought. We don't all get the same boards. I noted this in my thread about this level:

https://community.king.com/en/candy-crush-saga/discussion/500453/level-8466-boosters-locked-and-a-chance-to-test-some-theories

Basically in that thread I noted that playing the same level as a new player I got hellish boards I was unable to pass for many attempts, but when I scrolled back to the same level and played exactly the same level using exactly the same boosters (none, since none were allowed in this locked boosters level) I got lucky boards and obviously played a completely different algorithm.

King set the algorithms. King use AI to write the layout of our boosters on the starting board and candy drop for each board that loads, so I guess they feed one of the following into their computers:

• Make the level easy to pass
• Make the level impossible to pass on the first attempt, regardless of starting boosters played and requiring more than 5 extra moves
• Make the level impossible to pass without boosters, but possible if there are win streak plus starting boosters
• Make the level possible to pass if the right booster is played at the right time: a UFO near the end, a party popper at the beginning or the end, or a hand switch to create a double colour bomb combo
• Make the level leave players just short, but make it possible to pass if watching three adverts for extra moves or paying for 5 extra moves, or using a lollipop or two one or two moves from the end

That is basically what we get each time we play a new level. One of those options above. They change each time we replay the board. The rating often suggests what kind of level we get. Legendary and nightmarishly hard levels often cannot be passed unless the game helps us by placing our two colour bombs side by side on the starting board. If we fail on our first attempt we get fail boards seemingly forever, so the only sensible way to play these levels is to either pass on our first attempt ( with the help of our win streak boosters) or wait until the game offers us 35 or so extra moves for 10 gold bars. Hard levels tend to produce a lucky board (the "make level easy to pass" option above) after a certain number of attempts, so if you have enough lives you could replay those until you get lucky. Especially if you also have timed starting boosters.
