Do not shuffle levels again.

__mulliganaceous__

I am honestly shocked why you would move Level 7777 to Level 7779. There is a clear motivation of swapping the levels; please revert to their original ordering.

Below is the table of the number of levels by episode position and by difficulty rating.

	Easy	Hard	Super Hard	Nightmare	Legendary
1st	628	335	263	185	109
2nd	856	201	165	171	127
3rd	1267	111	70	48	24
4th	1216	187	82	27	8
5th	1224	74	65	95	62
6th	1341	110	49	16	4
7th	1156	208	123	28	5
8th	895	229	182	119	95
9th	842	317	228	109	24
10th	407	416	412	220	65
11th	202	262	387	414	253
12th	233	208	348	430	299
13th	116	188	286	445	483
14th	49	72	200	466	731
15th	247	99	162	289	721

Thank you for finally explaining what your table is all about, and to シリンダーノット for explaining the meaning of "Owl" and "thunderstorm". As for "denormal", I won't bother trying to find out but thanks for making clear that I'm not being thick by not understanding.

Number of levels by level position amd by difficulty. Equivalently, it is the number of episodes whose nth level has that difficulty rating.

There are 721 fifteenth levels that are legendary. There are 721 episodes whose fifteenth level is legendary, but only 4 episodes whose sixth level is legendary.

Sorry but I have to ask you the same question again. What does this table show? What do the numbers in the different columns represent?

Is it really that difficult to explain?

__mulliganaceous__

@シリンダーノット @christinewupp @teenybee

The answer is revealed. The tables have been updated.

There's probably a reason for the level shuffles. Personally, I like the shuffle because it's easier to gain momentum after the first few levels. Non-elite Candy Royales are a lot easier because most of the hard levels are pushed toward the back of the episode. You'll usually be done with the non-elite Candy Royale before you get to the hardest levels. Elite Candy Royales are probably a little bit easier because they tend to end in a stretch of easier levels, but I can't make a comparison because I never had elite Candy Royales before the shuffle.

That said…

The correct term for "Owl" is "Nightmare." It took me a long time to realize that each difficulty has a different character or outfit (e.g. Tiffi is a firefighter on the Legendary levels, and the owl appears on the Nightmare levels). Some people might not notice this at all.

As a general rule, you should try to communicate in a way that other people can understand easily. Obfuscation should be avoided. The "EHTOB" system can only be understood if you can put all the pieces together, and one of those pieces is how King indicated the difficulties many, many years ago. The old difficulty indicators (skull, thunderstorm, owl, fire) aren't relevant anymore. Saying Hard, Super Hard, Nightmare, and Legendary will be a lot easier to understand.

The same goes for "denormal" episodes. It's a 100% unofficial term, and people will have to do some serious digging on the CCS wiki (and probably its Discord server as well) to piece together a definition.

Thank you @christinewupp. Sorry @mulliganaceous - I never understand your posts which makes me feel really stupid, but I don’t feel as bad now if you’ve managed to baffle Christine as well.

Are these original levels that have been moved? Or are they where levels have been moved to? Or are they something else entirely?

Your posts are pretty impenetrable to me, I’m sorry to say. Can you please simplify the terminology you use and bear in mind that we are not all fluent in tech jargon.

If you intentionally make your posts inexplicable then I would class this as spam. What's owl mean? What do the numbers mean? Are the 1-15 level numbers? Are the other numbers specific levels or are they counts of something?

It's intentionally obfuscated.

Here is the hint: easy/hard/thunderstorm/owl/burning firewall

What is that supposed to mean? What does EHTOB stand for? How is anyone supposed to make any sense of something like that? You clearly put a lot of effort into your data and analyses, but you need to make it accessible to at least one or two people in this forum or else what's the point of posting it.

Then, I will publish a paper on identifying the shuffles and reconstruct the history.

That's never going to happen. They shifted them for a reason!

__mulliganaceous__

https://community.king.com/en/candy-crush-saga/discussion/comment/3578868#Comment_3578868

I am asking King to move the levels to their original position. I will post my findings on the wiki.

christinewupp

This happened about a year ago @__mulliganaceous__ , when they changed all the levels around to place the hardest ones towards the end of episodes and the easiest ones into the middle. This level was swapped around with the rest of them in 2025.
