This one was a surprise for me. Normally I HATE timed levels, I'm not good at them, & when I saw the target score for this one I almost had a heart attack. But then I was shocked when I was able to pass it fairly easily in 3 or 4 tries. The very first try I actually got very close to the target score so I thought it must be doable. Then I had a game or two where I didn't come close. But still I was hopeful b/c of that first game. I passed as I said on the 3rd or 4th try with 2** & a score of 985, 760. I wish I had an actual strategy to share but I was mostly just working as fast as I could, trying to match as many of the +5 seconds as I could, trying to match & make special candies out of Bombs when I could. There's a CB in a cage & I'm not sure how but sometimes it would come unlocked. I matched CB to usually anything, just b/c as I said, I was mostly just trying to work quickly but of course if possible I'd match one to a striped or wrapped. I'm pretty sure I did match one to a wrapped my winning game. And also I think somehow I was able to combine two coconut wheels & that's what helped the most. I'm sorry though that I can't explain how I got them side by side b/c I honestly don't know. The biggest thing with this particular level that made it more doable for me were the cascades at the end. With all the coconut wheels being set off that haven't been & cascades bringing down new CB, wrapped, striped, etc along with any specials you already have on the board going off, it can add up to a huge number of points. I think in my winning game I already had a pretty high score but not the target level until the cascades started. Also of course never let the Bombs get to 0. If you have a game where you can't match one, just stop making moves at 1. But I didn't end up having that problem with this level, I just know in general that's what you're supposed to do. Wish I had something more helpful. I'd say the biggest thing is to just not think too much b/c if you do, you're pretty much done for. Just make moves, even small ones & hopefully bigger ones will present themselves..but don't try to plan anything out, just make the best moves you can as fast as you can!
