Level 923

Difficulty

 * A cherry is locked in a liquorice lock. So you must break the lock with special candies.
 * Four-layered icing squares block the ingredient path.
 * There are no candies which spawn on the conveyor belt.
 * The candy bombs have a long fuse with 35 moves, and no more will spawn, but they are isolated from the main board.
 * The ingredient is worth 10,000 points. Hence, additional 90,000 points are required to earn one star.
 * It is possible to lose the level due to not reaching the required score of 100,000 points.

Strategy

 * This is a level that requires you to tackle the task in parts; firstly concentrating on racking up points, then on dropping the ingredient before you run out of moves.
 * Colour bomb + candy bomb combinations are essential - unless you can eliminate three or all the candy bombs by using a colour bomb on a candy whose colour matches at least three of the candy bomb's colour.
 * Mixing a colour bomb with striped candy before you have sufficient points will probably prevent you from scoring enough points, as the candy bombs will turn into striped candies or will be destroyed by an activated striped candy created from the combination, considerably reducing the number of possible points on the board.
 * You run out of moves either through detonation (at 35) or end of game (at 40) moves. It is best to try to complete this board within 35 moves, unless you get to within 5 or 6 moves until detonation, at which point you might spend a few moves working on a remaining detonator bomb before completing the task between moves 35 and 40.

Miscellaneous Info

 * 1) 1 ingredient x 10,000 points per ingredient = 10,000 points
