It seems to me that since CC added Candy Crush, which allows players to earn gold bars and boosters at no cost, they have been on a tear to buff levels so that they are so difficult that they can't be beat without using up some of those boosters. It's taking the fun out of the game... the challenge was to beat levels without boosters but that is becoming less and less possible on quite a few levels.

This level is ridiculous...too few moves to achieve the goal and too often, there is only one move available; usually, it's a totally useless, wasted move. Any attempt to line things up is ruined by shuffles. I generally play each level a few times and only break out the boosters if I'm not making any headway at all. Usually the booster does the trick, because miraculously, as soon as I pull out a booster, I also seem to get a lucky board. There's no question that getting good boards is tied to using boosters. But this level is breaking the pattern. Even using all 3 boosters, I'm getting nowhere close. Hardest level of the game for me. I love a challenging, hard level that requires thought and good play; this level is just frustrating and awful.
