Level 375

Difficulty

 * The first difficult part is clearing the cake bomb, as without doing this, the liquorice swirls will all sit on the left side of the board, preventing you from clearing anything.
 * Even after the cake bomb has been cleared, it is still difficult to clear the bottom left, top left and top right jelly, as they are in harder spots to reach.
 * 6 colours can make it hard to create special candies.
 * The jellies are worth 144,000 points . Hence, an additional 1,000 points is required to earn one star.

Strategy

 * Clear the cake bomb as soon as possible.
 * Use striped candies to destroy it from the right side of the board as liquorice swirls will most likely flood the left side.
 * Try to avoid having any liquorice on the left side of the board, on the column right of the cake bomb as it will resist a horizontal striped candy from hitting it.
 * If you cannot reach the cake bomb from the left side, then use horizontal striped candy from the right side.
 * After the cake bomb is cleared, finish off the jellies. If you can clear the cake bomb with fewer liquorice, it can effectively take off more jellies for you.
