Level 683

Difficulty

 * There are plenty of liquorice locks and liquorice swirls to clear. But with five colours present, it is easy to create special candies for boosting points.
 * The locked candy bombs are relatively hard to clear. More will respawn but those are meant to boost the player's score.
 * 30 seconds may not be enough to earn 200,000 points, and although the player is provided with twelve extra time candies, they are locked inside liquorice locks.
 * The provided colour bomb may help the player or can make things worse.
 * The player is required to earn at least 6,680 points per second.

Strategy

 * Start by opening the board by removing the liquorice locks, especially those holding bombs.
 * Create colour bomb + candy bomb combinations. Making such combinations can significantly boost up the score. Due to this, whenever possible, focus on making colour bomb matches (like playing a candy order level).
 * If a candy bomb is about to explode and you have reached the target score, do not do anything and let the time run out.

Trivia

 * This is the third level, after levels and, that has a special candy not under marmalade or liquorice locks.
 * It is also the first time it is a colour bomb.
 * This is one of the timed levels in which the total amount of time from the starting extra time candies is more than the time limit (60 seconds vs. 30 seconds).
