Talk:Level 1489/@comment-24693751-20160206081526

10th try, 3 stars (296,240 points), 12 moves remaining, NBU. I played 5 games on my iPad and 5 on my android. When I switched to android it seemed easier straight away. Not easy, but easier. But still I don't know how I managed to pass this level which is considered to be very hard (and many think IH even which I could see if you don't get a decent board) in 10 tries but it took me 26 tries to pass 1487, which is considered only somewhat hard. Sigh. No great tips for how to pass, just combos and more combos. My winning try I got a CB/CB combo (had one in an earlier game on iPad but just 1 is not enough to pass this bad boy). I also managed a few CB/striped combos, a CB/wrapped, and 2 or 3 wrapped/striped(which I would destroy a CB for if it wasn't near a striped or if I saw it wouldn't disturb the w/s, use the CB on another color first). I got the spawner last & was able to make some matches myself with the jellies on top and below. Then by some miracle was able to make a wrapped/striped right over the last jelly where the spawner had been! Oh also I would try to match some of the cb's to the same color jellies under the marmalade by the popcorn if there wasn't a striped or wrapped available to match them too. That of course would also take away a color so there were more opportunities for specials. This one I did feel a sense of victory when I beat it. Even though the spawner wasn't particularly evil as evil spawners go. I thought I'd be on it longer and all things considered, didn't end up finding it quite as difficult as some of the other levels in the episode. I'd go with Hard for this one. And I really do feel it was easier on android and that if I'd stayed with my iPad, I might have been on it longer.
