Level 1413

Due to very few moves with five colours most likely not creating too many special candies, only two ingredients providing a total of only 20,000 points, holes restricting board space, and a surprisingly high three star score, it is considered the hardest level to earn three stars by many people. It is available to be voted as the Hardest Level in Reality to earn three stars.

Difficulty

 * All three cake bombs must be cleared to drop the ingredients. However, the liquorice swirls dispensed can make it hard to clear the cake bombs from the sides.
 * The conveyor belt may help or hinder the clearing the cake bombs from the sides.
 * The ingredients are worth 20,000 points, which is equal to the one star target score.

Strategy

 * Clear all 3 cake bombs by special candies and bring the ingredients down.

Difficulty

 * The presence of five colours makes it easy to create special candies. However, it is not that useful due to the high two and three star target scores.
 * The ingredients are worth 20,000 points. Hence, an additional 430,000 points for two stars and an additional 880,000 points for three stars have to be earned through matching of candies.
 * The player is required to earn an additional 9,560 points per move for two stars and an additional 19,560 points per move for three stars. Those amount are higher than the maximum amount of points a striped candy during sugar crush can provide which in this case is 3,540 points.
 * The cake bombs reduce available board to create special candies. Clearing them will leave the player low on moves for sugar crush which will also require the player to earn more points from striped candies. With the huge amount of additional points required per move, this is a serious problem.
 * The liquorice swirls will further reduce the amount of points earned through special candies.
 * The conveyor belt may help or hinder the creation of special candies.
