Nightmarishly Hard Level 3491

Looking at your board I cannot assist you with tips other than my usual strategy, which I have previously shared. There is enough chocolate to fulfil the order and lots of blockers. Any board like this requires the same strategy to beat: Watch out for any chance to make special candies and look for a chance to make a combo with special candies. If the game won't give you such chances you can't pass these levels.

Unfortunately legendary levels often require gold bars to pass, so you need to make sure you always keep 10 bars in stock. That is the best strategy to play Candy Crush. I have found that if we play exactly one episode per day then that is the best strategy to remain in a positive gold balance. Play events like Season Pass using old levels and then use the boosters from Season Pass to get past the level you are stuck on. Make sure you finish the episode the same day to get the gold prize from the episode race. Only ever use 10 gold bars to pass a level, never more, and only use gold bars to pass legendary or nightmarishly hard levels and for these use gold only on either your first attempt, if you get really close, or after you have tried many times and are offered 35 or more extra moves. I have found that this strategy works to stay in a positive gold balance. Don't be fooled by the game: Do not try to keep a win streak at all costs or start a new episode that you won't be able to finish.

Specifically for this level, do watch this Johnny Crush video carefully. He is the expert on how to spot and use a lucky board. I also noticed on this video that you do not need to crush all of the frosting to pass, there are a few spares.

That didn't take long…. How long had you been stuck on this level before posting? It seems odd how soon after posting you passed. It does make me wonder.

Thanks, it's worth a try but I have a different theory now: I have noticed that a lot of the levels I am playing have suddenly got easier to pass this morning. I think King have just updated the game for us and included more lucky boards into some of those levels, so that may be why the level you were stuck on for days suddenly let you pass. I'll have a go to see if I get any luck with level 3492.
