Level 671

Difficulty

 * You have to break some liquorice locks to bring down ingredients.
 * There is a chocolate spawner in the middle column, which can cause ingredients to get stuck in this column.
 * There are many stuck zones in this level, so players may need to move the hazelnuts horizontally to finish the level.
 * The ingredients are worth 30,000 points, which is equal to the one star target score.

Strategy

 * Break the liquorice locks in the top row so that new candies will fall.
 * Try not to break the second-row liquorice lock in the third and seventh columns too early to avoid having the hazelnuts slide into these stuck-zone columns.

Difficulty

 * The presence of five colours makes it easy to create special candies. However, it is not too useful until the upper rows of liquorice locks are cleared.
 * The ingredients are worth 30,000 points. Hence, an additional 20,000 points for two stars and an additional 40,000 points for three stars have to be earned through matching of candies.
 * The player is required to earn an additional 460 points per move for two stars and an additional 900 points per move  for three stars.
 * The massive amount of licorice locks reduce the number of possible matches and the spawning of candies, further reducing the number of special candies which can be created.
 * The chocolate spawner will reduce available board space once any of the liquorice locks around it is cleared, reducing the number of special candies which can be created.
 * At least one of the ingredients has to be switched, reducing the number of moves for sugar crush.
 * Special candies must be used to clear the liquorice locks and the candies on the columns where the ingredients exits are. All these give the player plenty of points.

Trivia

 * The liquorice locks resembles a castle tower, or letter Y.
