Level 674

Level 674 is the ninth level of Crunchy Courtyard and the 177th ingredients level. To pass this level, you must bring down 1 hazelnut and 1 cherry and score at least 10,000 points in 35 moves or fewer. When you complete the level, Sugar Crush is activated.

Difficulty

 * There are many stuck zones.
 * You may have to switch the ingredients to another column multiple times, making your level success rate highly dependent on the starting position of the ingredient.
 * Sometimes the first ingredient appears under the empty tiles on 8th row of the board. If this happens, it's almost impossible without boosters, because there are no teleporters to lead to the first row of the board.
 * The ingredients are worth 20,000 points (2 ingredients x 10,000 points per ingredient = 20,000 points) which is equal to the two-star target score.

Strategy

 * First, break the liquorice locks so the ingredients can come down to the conveyor belt.
 * If an ingredient lands precisely on the conveyor belt, make matches in the top center of the board so that the ingredient doesn't fall further down! The ingredient will exit on its own when it reaches the middle of the conveyor belt.
 * When it comes time for the second ingredient to come down, make vertical matches under the second or eighth column so that it comes down in either of those column and you don't have to move the ingredient horizontally.

Trivia

 * The only green arrow the ingredients will go through is the one on the right because it impossible to get in the other two arrows because it has to throught the right one first. (Unless the player is low on moves and uses two free switches to move the ingredients twice to land in the left green arrow, making the middle green arrow entirely useless).
 * This level breaks a trend where after Level 174, every 100th level has candy bombs.
 * This is the third level to have variable difficulty.
