3rd try, 3 stars (101,220 points), 2 moves remaining, NBU. 1st try I got 1 cherry down, 2nd try got 2 & 3rd try got them all down. Was surprised to discover you don't NEED to destroy the ES to get all the ingredients down but it seems that regardless at least one of the ingredients will get trapped by it if you don't, which is what happened to me my winning try. I was shocked to have the first 2 ingredients sidestep the ES completely & I easily got them down. But it froze the last one & there wasn't any way to get around it other than destroy it. Actually by that time I'd shuffled to get a board where I was able to start attacking it right away. Still, it ended up freezing a lot of the candies around it and as I said, at least one of the cherries. The free CB was over on the right side and I finally just used it on a color candy that was also surrounding the ES. Surprisingly, it not only helped free the frozen cherry(cherries? May have been more than one frozen by that point), that was also what caused the first 2 cherries to drop to the other side and I easily got them down with matches. Then was able to start attacking the spawner again and used some specials to open it up when it started freezing things again, a wrapped especially helped when it exploded right next to it. Finally destroyed it & luckily I still had enough moves left for the last cherry. In particular a stripe/stripe (seems like that's useful for a lot of levels this episode) from the left side lined up in just the right rows got the last cherry in. Oh also I found this was another level where it seemed pretty easy to create cb's and specials in general. I created another cb(which I then accidentally exploded) and at the end yet another formed. I'd say this level seems SW Easy even without the free CB.
