Get as many special candies next to each other as you can, they can wipe a lot of the board all in one. Use your lollipop to get rid of your last square If you can
combined two color bomb to clear the board we you start if you have a lot of jelly to clear. You exit the level go back until they are standing next to each other.
If you are stuck on a tricky level go back to some levels you've won previously! This will help build up your booster bot, possibly improve previous scores, build up your rank, and allows you to look at the tricky level with fresh eyes!
My best tip for a new player. KEEP A GAME JOURNAL. Every time you play a game wright down does it have yellow drops does it have red drops what colors what types of special candies can you collect at that level use colored markers on the side to draw your attention to the colors available at that level then when you have to collect a special color or achieve a special type of candy you’ll know right where to go just check your journal .
