Level 550

Difficulty

 * The objective of the level is to clear 12 jelly squares, but they are all covered up by blockers in the beginning.
 * There is a cake bomb that covers two jelly squares and the rest are covered by liquorice swirls.
 * The jellies are worth 22,000 points . Hence, an additional 8,000 points is required to earn one star.

Part 1: The Blockers

 * Your first move should be to go after the cake bomb. You can’t really reach the liquorice swirls without taking out the cake first.
 * In addition, when you do clear the cake bomb, the party popper will appear and take out the remaining liquorice swirls, so all the jelly squares are now exposed.

Part 2: The Conveyor Belt

 * There are two downward moving conveyor belts in this level. They bring candies down to the blockers that cover the jelly squares.
 * You should be taking advantage of the free-flowing candies from the conveyor belt by making matches adjacent to the cake bomb.

Part 3: Special Candies

 * As in every jelly level, special candies are very effective. Because the jelly squares are in difficult positions, an effective strategy is to make special candies that have more range than plain matches.
 * Vertical striped candies are great for the jellies in the corners, but combining a wrapped candy with a striped candy can cover more range. Still, the best combination is a striped candy and a colour bomb.
 * In addition, you can use the conveyor belt to bring down wrapped and horizontally striped candies and activate them at the bottom of the board.
