I am seeing friends in my weekly contest again.... anyone else?
This looks like a step back in time: Most of the players in my weekly contest this week are part of my friends list! None of them are my community friends, but Tammi, Godfrey, Diego and Hazel are all my friends. Are King going back to the old system? Is anyone else seeing this?

What more can 2026 bring to ruin Candy Crush Saga?
Here are a few ideas…. Make Season Pass new level wins only for all players (Yep, looks like they've done it now!

Hit a wall of impossible levels and used up all your gold and boosters? What to do.

New feature: Sweet Choice..... What????
Update Feb 2026: This feature is very basic: It picks levels apparently at random and gives levels a harder label by removing a few moves. If you pick the harder version you gain some timed rewards after passing, even if you retry the level several times. Removing moves makes some levels slightly harder to pass, but other…

How to get back onto your feet if you are hopelessly stuck in Candy Crush (2026)
This will be an illustration of how to outwit the game to get back on your feet, but it only works if: You are playing in the lower thousands levels (it probably won't work above level 10,000) you have at least 10 gold remaining in your account plus some boosters you get for free from the game you are willing to let go of…
