I am the contributor that replied to the comment below.

I do not understand why people say this level is insanely hard. I can beat it, without boosters, about 10% of the time - I'd probably set the difficulty to 'hard'. And nearly every time I fail, I was very close (within 2-3 striped candy hits of finishing the level).

Getting two striped and wrapped combos is a common occurrence for me on this level. I have no problem making stripes, I can frequently get one every 1-3 moves. Once the board is open (about 40 moves left) you need roughly one hit every three moves. A striped and wrapped is worth nine moves. A colour bomb and stripe combo, earlier on, is worth an average of roughly 4.5 moves. While this doesn't look good, the striped and wrapped looks excellent. Once a wrapped is made, putting a wrapped next to it is usually quite easy. Combining two vertical stripes turns them into one hit. I'm not saying you should focus only on striped and wrapped combos. I'm just saying I don't understand why people say it's hard. It doesn't even compare with some levels in the 400s, and I'd confidently say it's not the hardest level up to 275. My vote would be with 147 out of the first 275, because I still struggle to beat that now, even with 25 or so lives.

Sorry if I sound arrogant, but I just don't see it.
