Level 1178

Level 1178 is the third level in Snack Shack and the 544th jelly level. To pass this level, you must clear 43 single and 18 double jelly squares and score at least 100,000 points in 35 moves or fewer. When you complete the level, Sugar Crush is activated.

Difficulty

 * With four colours and an open board, it is quite easy to create special candies.
 * Two double jelly squares are underneath the popcorn, requiring the use of special candies.
 * Some of the jelly squares are isolated from the main board.
 * The lateral squares and bottom row of jellies are under liquorice locks. (All of the isolated corner jellies, are thus locked.)
 * A horizontal striped candy is provided in the bottom row, to help clear the lower isolated jellies.
 * The jellies are worth 79,000 points. Hence, an additional 21,000 points is required to earn one star.

Strategy

 * Focus on the hard-to-reach areas, in particular the corner jellies. Also attack the popcorn at any opportunity.
 * Striped and wrapped candy combinations are excellent for clearing the locks and attacking the popcorn simultaneously. Try to set up this combination in the second and second-to-last column of the board. In this position, the upper and lower corner jellies will be targeted.
 * Colour bombs, even used alone, are very useful in clearing the isolated jellies, if those squares are occupied by the colour to be mixed with the colour bomb. Mixing a colour bomb with a striped candy of a corner colour will clear an entire edge row or column. Mixing a colour bomb with a wrapped candy is also helpful as two colours are cleared from these areas.
 * Use wrapped or striped candies alone to target the popcorn as needed.
 * Beware the second popcorn: candies do not flow onto the square it occupies, leaving a single jelly with no candy on it, once the popcorn is destroyed and its colour bomb utilised. This jelly must be cleared with a striped or wrapped candy, or a combination thereof.

Trivia

 * The middle empty tiles form a "division" symbol.
