5th try, 3 stars (152,320 points), 5 moves remaining, NBU. Wow, I hadn't come to the page first so had no idea this was considered to be so hard. A little ironic that I found the previous level to be way harder while others were passing in a few tries and not finding it nearly as difficult as I did but I seem to be having the opposite experience here. I'm sorry but I have to disagree with the comment below about doing it in the correct order & then saying you must get the CB/stripe first, that wasn't my experience. I was actually able to complete the two CB/CB orders first, I *think* from the popcorn and caged CB provided(pretty sure actually) which I opened with carefully placed specials. The only reason I'm not 100% sure is I was also able to make many cb's myself with only 4 colors. In fact after I set off the two double cb's, I was then able to create a CB & I'd already been making stripes wherever I could so luckily it landed next to one(well actually I'd set it up so it would but was still lucky to be able to make a CB over one of the stripes). Oftentimes I find if I have a setup for a CB & can't make one right away, it means I'm not going to be able to make one at all but I had no other prospects so just kept trying. Luckily it worked & in the process cleared the other few cb's I had left that I needed to complete the order. I also rolled a little bit for a board where I could both make a special right away(a stripe) and also start breaking the icing right away(just trying to add anything that might help). I'm sure luck played a big part as well but if I'm being honest, I found this level to be medium. Good luck to those who are struggling!
