General How to play

How do I beat Rancid the Raccoon?

Rancid is always causing havoc on the farm! The special Rancid levels work differently to the rest of the game.

To beat Rancid and pass the level, you collect Cropsies as usual. The difference is that there are no set numbers for each type of Cropsie. Just keep collecting the specified Cropsies until the counter beneath Rancid gets down to zero - before you run out of moves, of course!

Rancid the Raccoon is standing on top of a module that shows his energy counter, the four cropsies you need to collect (apple, onion, sun and water, in this case) and the moves that you have left (20)

How can I increase the value of the Cropsies?

These levels can be tough. To help, you can increase the value of each Cropsie by using Magic Beans before the level starts. As always, you can increase their individual value by matching next to them too!

A top tip for Rancid levels is to try to make as many 5-in-a-row matches as you can. This will clear all of the Cropsies of that type from the screen in one go!

Why not stock up on some Shovel Boosters and use them to your advantage in this epic battle against the roguish Rancid?
