22 tries, 1 star (86,720 points), 2 moves remaining, NBU. I guess karma really is a bish because while I pretty much breezed through the last few levels (especially 1811 and 1812) that others found more difficult I inexplicably found this one to be Insanely Hard😞 I'm embarrassed to even admit it but it's true. I started off ok in the beginning and even came close a couple of times early on. On my 4th try I needed a reasonable amount of purples to pass & I had a CB/purple combo. I was too confident though & made the mistake of not checking first how many were on the board before I set it off. I ended up just 3 short and wasn't able to make any matches in time(I would suggest in those situations always counting how many you have left on the board and if you're only a few short just make a match or two with other colors to bring down more of the one you need). Then on my 5th try I only needed one more CB. After that things started going downhill, mostly with the purples. It seemed no matter what I did I just couldn't generate enough of them. I even tried doing the 5 extra moves from the wheel when I was relatively close again but still ended up needing 7 more. I switched to PC hoping it might be easier but except for one try where I again only needed one more CB, I didn't fare much better. Switched back to mobile & finally passed though in full disclosure I've had a nap in between so don't remember many specifics. I think overall just making combos that cleared the board/caused cascades, etc as much as possible so the purples keep coming. CB/wrapped is good as others have shared but I didn't find it enough on its own to pass. I seem to vaguely remember a lot of wrapped/stripes as well. Meh.
