I am starting this thread now that I see the game is being butchered to a point of complete uniformity. The AI has taken over the game now and the whole of 20,000 levels now follow the same rules. The game is as transparent as the pane of glass. This makes it easy for anyone to beat. If I can beat it so can you. (Edit November 2025: Due to changes in the community page I am copying the entire advice onto this first page):
Firstly please note that no money can be made from playing Candy Crush. It's meant to be a game to be played for fun only. It's a battle of wits: us against the game. King are in it to make us pay. We are in it to progress in the game without paying. There is not much more to it.
Please note I never play with ads. So none of my tried and tested methods use ads and I will not mention them in this thread.
In summary these are the features of the game as of 2025:
Candy Crush is a gold budgeting game. Players have to keep some gold in their account to pass certain levels. You gain gold by winning the episode/champions race and other events e.g. the chocolate box. The two have to balance out.
Candy Crush is about playing the right booster at the right time. Knowing which booster to play at which time has become easier recently as the boards have become more obvious with the AI taking over. You need to keep some boosters in your inventory. There are events which will help gain boosters by replaying old levels. If you have an empty inventory stock up with these boosters first. You cannot play Candy Crush in 2025 without boosters or gold. If your account is empty, start a new account.
Candy Crush is a game of events and in-game features Players need to note the following:
- we all get different events, features and rewards
- all aspects of the events in your game are controlled by King: what you have to do to achieve the goal, what the reward will be etc., the opponents are illusions. All events are manipulated by King and try to manipulate you. See through these manipulations and you can beat the events
- Playing events wisely is the key to success in Candy Crush. Use events to your advantage to outplay the game.
Game boards are pre-determined to a set outcome. Each time you attempt a level the game board that loads is different and the possible outcome is different. Knowledge is power: To understand how the algorithms are fixed and pre-determined means that you can then beat them. Don't be fooled by the illusion that all levels boards can be beaten. You can only beat a board if this is written into the game
