Hi there. I have scrolled back to this level and am working on finding out how many times you have to try it to get a lucky board like the one shown in this video. I have so far used up all my lives (20) from friends. Now I'm having to get my lives from the future but I have to keep scrolling back after 5 tries, which is such a nuisance. Anyhow, don't be put off by how old this video is nor by the fact Johnny Crush had 31 moves, because he easily finished it in 28 with this many opportunities to create colour bomb and wrapped candy combos. Generally you will know fairly early on in the level if it will let you pass. It will look something like this: (of course the graphics are old and there are cherries instead of dragons) .

I have given up after about 50 tries, sorry but I lost count. This level gives you lucky drops of all the right candies about 7 moves from the end, but it cleverly always stops just short of letting me pass it. So my guess would be that the idea is to lure the player into spending boosters, sometimes you seem only one free switch left from passing this level. Or two or three more moves, of course. Either way, it seems to be mislabeled. I would say they have made this level impossible to pass without boosters or extra moves now, so it should be "legendary". Playing the coconut wheel, which many of us have loads of made no difference. Of course, a single UFO would have passed on several of my tries as well. So maybe anyone stuck here could pass by using their Season's Pass UFO, which you could get by playing old levels. Anyhow, I see there is a legendary level just round the corner for anyone who passes this one....

Thanks for trying and I was able to get past this level with your help. Thank you. Can we be friends @christinewupp?

Nice to hear you have progressed so well. I hope you are enjoying your game. I gave up my game after reaching level 15,000 because I was no longer enjoying it. I also play two other Candy Crush games, one at level 2100, the other at level 520. I like the earlier level ranges better as King have made the game too difficult higher up. I am sorry but I don't know how to add specific friends to my game. King seem to choose them for me. Enjoy your game!
