Candies

Candies are the main item in Candy Crush Saga. There are regular candies, which come in 6 different colors, and have the same effect. There are special candies which are created by forming special configurations, and other 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 six different colors and shapes are:  Red  - Jelly Beans Orange - Lozenges Yellow - Lemon Drops  Green  - Gum Squares  Blue  - Lollipop Heads Purple - Jujube Clusters

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, and the result is random during a cascade. Only comes out if the formation cannot create a Wrapped Candy or Colour Bomb.
 * Vertical striped candies may be useful in ingredient levels if they are in the same column as an ingredient.

Wrapped Candy

 * Appearance: A regular candy in a same-colored square wrapper.Wrapped candy.jpeg

 * Red and yellow candies used to appear in every level in iOS and Android.
 * All 5 colour levels exclude yellow candies.
 * All 4 colour levels exclude yellow and red candies.
 * Very few levels have less than 4 candy colours. Levels 31, 587, and 621 are the only levels with 3 colours so far.
 * A blue candy appears in Marmalade Meadow and is responsible for clogging the Bee's harvesting equipment.
 * The face of the sunflower in the after story of the 56th episode, Candy Calaboose is replaced by a purple candy. (After character of this episode has been changed to Easter Bunny instead of Mr. Raccoon)
