Shuffle (phenomenon)

A Candy Shuffle is when all the candies on the board are shuffled. The colours of the candies don't change, but their position on the board does. A shuffle can be brought on in two ways: when a player runs out of possible switches on the board, or by using the Shuffle booster.

When a player runs out of possible moves, all the candies go into a pink bag in the centre of the screen and are then shook and then they come out of the bag shuffled randomly. All candies are shuffled, including special candies, but they will still be special after shuffling. At the top of the screen during a shuffle it will read, "No more possible switches, shuffling."

Shuffling uses a move on Facebook, but on iOS it doesn't. If you're plaiyng on Facebook and there is a shuffle on a Timed level, it will take 5 seconds from your time. As shuffling uses a move on Facebook, if a shuffle occurs with only 1 move left, the player will lose a life without seeing the shuffle animation and the reason for failure will be: "No more possible switches". On some levels on face book it takes you a move and some it doesn't, not sure why. On 33 it doesn't take a move but on 155 it does.

After a shuffle there might be a possible move.

Trivia

 * Sometimes a shuffle can be very useful, for example when there are no possible switches were all the jelly is, then after shuffling the jelly can be reached.
 * It is impossible for a shuffle to be brought on without a booster if there is a colour bomb on the screen.
 * It is possible for a double shuffle to occur, but this is very rare indeed. What has to happen is that the first shuffle happens and after the shuffle, the only possible move is then blocked by a chocolate, bringing on a second shuffle. Double shuffles can also happen with chameleon candies, wherein the second shuffle happens after the chameleon candies change colours following the first shuffle. In that case, there are still no possible moves after the first shuffle because the chameleon candies have changed their colours.
