    I have checked out an older version of this level, when there were still cherries instead of dragons, and post it below.

    It looks from the video that you have to charge up the frog until it glows and pulsates and then place it into the empty spaces next to the dragons egg/cherries to let them drop. As you now can't reach the frog use the colour bomb squares to recharge the frog. Hit them with candies the same colour of the frog and then move the frog as before. The magic mixers can't be destroyed, so they will give you those colour bomb squares to recharge the frog. Good luck!

    I'm stuck. I know how this level is meant to be passed (in theory), but the game won't drop the last dragon. I have tried every (free) thing for days, and I haven't seen the last gummidragon even once. I'm not going to pay for extra boosters, so if you have passed this level recently, tell me and give me one reason to keep trying! Thanks! 🫶

    Hello @Plicata I am not surprised you are stuck at this level. Normally I would advise players stuck on a legendary level to wait for a lucky board but I have calculated that with 26 moves there is no possibility of a lucky board and even in theory this level cannot be passed.

    If you remove any candy from the main board one gummi dragon drops each turn. This is my starting board.

    I played the level ignoring the dragons on either side and just concentrating on bringing down the dragons each move. This is my board on my last move.

    If we assume I played a party popper to clear the board, and one more dragon were to drop on my this last move, then I would be exactly one dragon short. In 26 moves this level is mathematically impossible to pass even using boosters. It's proof how King have made the game a pay to pass game. You will have to buy extra moves to get by this level or hope to get the "3 extra moves from a friend" that I occasionally get in my game. Or wait until they increase the moves available because too many players drop out.

    Thank you for bringing this level to my attention. I will use it to start a thread about mathematically impossible levels!

    Thank you for this! 🫶 I was thinking I'm crazy or stupid not to get that last beast showing up. Maybe this is a good time for me to take a little break from the game before I lose my mind! 😂😂

    I agree with all of the above comments, I have tried eliminating the side dragons first and tried eliminating the dragons in the main board first; neither strategy gets you the elusive last dragon. Boosters aren't helping. Anyone figure it out?

    Hello @amiller

    This level is mathematically impossible to complete in 26 moves, regardless of the strategy.

    The algorithm that governs this level uses a specific formula to determine whether to drop a dragon. The formula takes into account the number of dragons present on the board and the number of dragons left to be released. Originally this level had 27 moves, and the formula is designed to drop the last dragon on the 27th move.

    We have previously reported this level, but King won't listen to us.

    In the thread below, there was a more detailed discussion about this level.

    To pass this level without buying extra moves, you will need the 3 bonus moves from a friend, as suggested above.

Hey! Would you like to give us your opinion?
