Omg, wow, unbelievable. Just passed on my 5th try with no boosters and got 3 stars(close to a million points but no cigar). The first couple of times I played I was on the train so didn't have service to check this page and then my next couple, I was looking at the wrong page, I was looking at the page for 540! I was just really looking at the moonstrucks and was so confused. Then I finally realized I was on the wrong page and came on here. I read the advice that someone wrote below about starting with a board where you can make a match in the icing &/or where you could make a special. So I was prepared to shuffle my boards but then right away I got a board where I could do both! It was definitely a lucky board as I was able to make a striped & then several more stripes as it went on. Also the board reshuffled itself at one point & then I was able to make a wrapped as well though I never ended up setting off any big combos. That may have been for the best though since it seemed several times that Odus was going to fall and I needed to balance him with smaller moves. He didn't seem quite as sensitive as usual to me but again, maybe I was just lucky with that too(balancing him that is). I was also extremely fortunate with the bombs, I was able to match quite a few on my own or even make specials with them(mostly stripes). And from the beginning was able to make dents in the icing which continued even prior to the moonstruck. Not to mention on one side I was able to make a striped/striped combo to take out the entire column of bombs when one was running very low. And was able to make it to moonstruck(sans boosters) without Odus falling or any bombs going off. Moonstruck definitely cleared quite a bit, there were only about 6 jellies for me to get on my own. Again I didn't have any real combos, just was able to match them & used a striped to get the final one just as my moonstruck ended! After reading everyone's comments I feel extremely fortunate. I think I'd agree that your starting board is probably the most important factor. So if you're playing on iPad or mobile, definitely shuffle until you get a good starting board. I really think that getting a good beginning board made the difference for me.
