sometimes lucky candies can mean to be mischievous too in such a level where you are required to collect only one popcorn but all the lucky candies you match turn into many popcorns limiting your space
in that case u need you have clear popcorn given at he beginning using wrapped & striped candy such that the lucky candies you match give the yellow oval candies needed for a sugar crush..
The trick I used is that, before playing any level I will make sure I understand the challenge of the level first, like that of a high scores you need to create more party candies in other to earn more score. So focus on how to create more party candies to earn more high scores
I just stick to the order and use the best applicable candy combination atiavailable. Example wrapped candy and striped candy for hard to break barriers. It's not really a tip but i find it effective.
They say to ALWAYS use a striped candy with a (CB) color bomb on levels to bring down ingredients, HOWEVER I ALWAYS look at how MANY of the same colors are on THAT LEVEL and the wrapped candies ARE sometimes BETTER than the striped on certain levels, Just look REALLY good BEFORE choosing WHICH one to USE! Hope this MAKES sense and helps out! 😎
If your ALMOST out of moves and you see THAT you COULD possibly beat the level, USE the UFO if you HAVE it, it'll REALLY place them WHERE they're NEEDED and USUALLY you'll pass the LEVEL 😉
