after maybe at least 75+ attempts over a period of 6 or 7 days, i finally passed it earlier today. i managed to clear both cake bombs w/ about 10 moves left, and then there was a one layer blocker on two separate rows in each ingredient column. by the time i cleared both w/ a horizontal striped, by coincidence i was able to make two matches in the left ingredient column where the ingredient on the right fell to so that the ingredient was now a candy away from being cleared. i had the perfect set up where i could mix two stripes in the center board to hit the bottom candy that's preventing the ingredient from exiting, but in order to do that i had to make an ordinary match to get the stripe next to the other stripe. unfortunately, i only had one move left at that point. since i was beyond frustrated w/ the level after being stuck on it for a week, i said screw it, i'm paying 9 gold bars for the 5 extra moves so that i can mix the stripes and thus finally pass. worst level indeed. ugh!

on a much earlier attempt several days ago, i could had passed by using a hammer on a vertical striped candy that happened to fall in the left ingredient column to get the second ingredient cleared and thus be done w/ this frustrating level, but i decided against using one even though i still have so much hand switches and hammers from the candy drops. big mistake, as i still couldn't pass after many more attempts. as i'm typing this, i realized i could had just used a hammer on the horizontal striped candy in the center board instead so that i didn't have to cough up 9 gold bars. i had 35 gold bars before buying the 5 extra moves. big d'oh! oh well, lol!
