just remove the map. it's boring the way it is now. at least soda's candy town get's updated, actually it might be a good idea to try this in the normal candy crush.
I got through an older version of this level months ago, so it's not me needing help but thanks anyway. I was alerted of this level change by another person. I did play the level though and I found it best to ignore the entire section that has the magic mixer. Bad level design if half of the board is pointless to use.
I imagine it wouldn't take too long to create a search box functionality. It's been over 2 years, king is too lazy to do almost anything new, they even removed all of the old episodes because they ran out of names/ideas.
