I had more trouble with this one than the few previous levels. I passed on my 3rd try but used some of my gold bars to get the 5 extra moves to finish it. That's because I'd gotten all the ingredients in but one & I had the last ingredient over the teleporter, only blocked by 2 candies. My first cpl of games I got an ingredient in a stuck zone & didn't want to take a chance of that happening again. I technically lost the 2nd time to a bomb but I only had one move left anyway & with a stuck ingredient was not close to passing. The first game I hadn't even been paying attention & didn't realize there even were stuck zones until it was too late. Like all boards with bombs, you def need to pay attn to them but not overly so or you'll waste too many moves & won't be able to get your ingredients down. I try to make specials with the bombs whenever possible & if I see a good opportunity to get rid of one, I take it. Once you only have a certain # of moves left that matches or is less than those of the bombs, obviously you can completely ignore them. My winning board I almost got stopped by one but luckily was able to match a color bomb to the same color. Bombs aside, the real problem is the stuck zones. My winning board I basically made matches as far away from the ingredients as I could when they were over stuck zones(actually was doing this my 2nd board too but still managed to get one stuck). It's not always possible to get the ingredient off the conveyer belt right away, though I did get most of my ingredients down the first column all the way to the right. Btw the board is all very connected. Meaning you can make matches on the bottom half under where the ingredients need to drop into the teleporter to bring them down. That's how I finally got my last one down, I didn't realize it was possible right away but it's very helpful if you don't have matches on the top to get it down. On the other hand, you've got to be careful if an ingredient is over a stuck zone, not to make any bottom matches under it that will pull it off of the conveyer belt. Make as many specials & combos as possible to get the ingredients out from their cages, big combos like color bomb/striped & wrapped/striped are great but setting off vertical stripes over them is effective as well. I found this one easy to earn 3 stars on, my score was about twice what was needed for it. Agree with the very hard difficulty, btwn the bombs & stuck zones, plus it's quite a lot of ingredients to bring down even with the generous # of moves.
