Ugh you guys weren't kidding about it being Hard!(totally agree btw). Was very temtpted to use boosters but decided to stick it out. Lost track of how many tries but I'd say around 10. First was playing on iPad & was not coming close after 5 or 6 games. So I switched to mobile. It wasn't miracously easier but either it was somewhat easier or I was just improving at playing the board. Right before my passing board, I got in 3 out of 4 so started to have hope. Then I finally got them all down, hooray! 3 stars. One thing I noticed with boards like this is there's a lot of opportunities to make specials usually at the top of the board but once you start getting closer to the bottom, that's not always the best option(unless it's a color bomb of course or a wrapped/striped combo depending on where exactly it's placed). There's a lot of opportunities for instance to make stripes up on top but unless they're either a vertical directly on top of one of the cherries or in the lane next to one, it's really just a waste of moves to keep making them, which is what I was doing for many of my games. It's much better to try to focus on the lower half once the top half is cleared, even if it's just breaking icing. I've had the same experience with other similar boards in the past but guess I forgot. That's my experience anyway & what helped me to finally beat this one.
