Candies

Candies are the main item in Candy Crush Saga. There are Regular Candies, which come in six different colors, and have the same effect. There are Special Candies which are created by forming special configurations, and others special candies that appear on later levels but cannot be created. Each one has its own effect.

Regular Candies
These make up most of the game. Get at least 3 in a row to turn them into points.

The several different colors and shapes are:

Striped Candy

 * Appearance: Horizontal or vertical white stripes on a regular candy.
 * Effect: Clears an entire row or column, depending on the direction of the stripes.
 * Formation: 4 regular candies in a row. The most common special candy, often created accidentally (not meant to be) through cascades. If the striped candy results from a horizontal move, the stripes will be horizontal, if it results from a vertical move, they will be vertical.
 * Vertical striped candies are useful in ingredient levels if they are in the same column as an ingredient.

Trivia

 * Green candies are the only candies to never be left out of a level. As it may seem like the Blue sucker top also appear in every level, they were actually left out in Level 289 on iOS and Android.
 * Red candies also appear in every level in iOS and Android.
 * Most 5 colour levels exclude yellow candies. On iOS and Android, they often exclude purple candies instead.
 * If purple candies are included for 5 colour levels on mobile devices, they will exclude orange candies. If purple and orange candies are included for 5 colour levels on mobile devices, they will exclude yellow candies.
 * Most 4 colour levels would exclude yellow and red candies. On iOS and Android, they often exclude purple and orange candies instead.
 * Very few levels have less than 5 candy colours. Level 31 and level 587 are the only levels with 3 colours. Level 252 is the level with 4 colours, also the easiest level in the game
