Talk:Level 147/@comment-5306356-20131101195005

I'd say this level took about a dozen tries for me. I didn't actually keep count, though. The best approach IMO is to blow the meringues away as quickly as possible, especially the middle ones to make it easier to form special candies.

Factors making it harder: 6 colours, 3 layer meringues block up the board making it nearly impossible to form special candies until they are cleared, lots of double jelly with those on the edges being hard to clear, bombs are difficult to clear (nearly impossible to demolish until you get them out of the top area), board shape is overall quite awkward.

Factors making it easier: Bombs aren't as numerous as in some other levels (in the current version you probably get one bomb every several moves), you get 50 moves in total.

I'd say, in my opinion, this level is comparable to 70 difficulty-wise. Perhaps this one is a little harder to pass, but 70 is slightly more frustrating. I would be neutral to downgrading this level to Very Hard, but Insanely Hard is fine as well (especially if this level is the metric for the Insanely Hard categorization). 152 is harder IMO as it depends on your initial board (fortunately on mobile you can re-roll your board, making it easier there). Now I just have to get to 181 and see how it compares to this level.

The problem with the difficulty ratings is that the definition of, say, "Hard" is quite subjective. One person might say "Hard" is a level they need a dozen attempts on, while another person might say "Hard" is a level they can beat half the time with considerable effort. Right now you can only really compare levels to one another (say which one is harder, rather than if one or the other is "Hard").
