Lefty here!!



I am currently on level 498 on Candy Crush. I like to make Candy Crush wiki pages.

I read ALL my messages.

Here are some stats about me playing Candy Crush: I really don't get the fuss over level 65. I can beat it using just half the moves. I also beat 320 on my very first try, level 323 on my third and 342 also on my third.
 * Date started: August 19 2012
 * Level: 498
 * Level I was stuck on the longest: 361.
 * Favourite level: Gotta be 336 or 236!
 * Least favourite level: 419 of course!

Hard Levels (up to 394)

 * 19 - OMG!! I actually quit for 2 weeks on this level. This was before it was made easy.
 * 29 - Really? Is it supposed to be hard?
 * 30 - HARD. I HATED this level and I hope to never have to do it again.
 * 33 - Had me stuck for a week.
 * 35 - First try.
 * 45 - Never had a problem.
 * 50 - First try.
 * 56 - I don't remember this level but I've heard it's meant to be hard.
 * 65 - Third try. Never had a problem. I personally would grade it "Considerably easy" but I would get so pounced on for that.
 * 70 - Two terror filled days. 48 hours of constant trying and failing. Approximately 150 attempts, hundreds of adverts watched, and needed to make fake Facebook accounts just to get me through it. With boosters. Then did it again and won it first time.
 * 77 - Yes this took quite a few tries but it wasn't too bad.
 * 79 - Didn't even know it was supposed to be hard.
 * 86 - Had me stuck for a few days this one. Was making a video called "I suck at candy crush" showing 30 failures at this level, but then (sadly?) beat it on the 15th run.
 * 92 - I almost gave up on this level. It was just so damn boring.
 * 95 - I don't remember this level but everyone's saying it is hard so I'm guessing it is.
 * 97 - Wasn't too bad. Did it after about 10 tries.
 * 98 - Three terror filled weeks. THREE. WEEKS. I sent email after email to king to nerf the level. Put the target score down to 90,000 (it was 110,000). Raged. Hit the keyboard. Hit the moniter, then I finally beat it, ironically with 2 stars.
 * 100 - Never ever ever had a problem. Failed this level only once and there were 2 jellies left.
 * 102 - Do not remember this level.
 * 109 - I don't remember this level at ALL.
 * 117 - Hard? Really?
 * 125 - Did it on my first try. With boosters. I heard what a nightmare this level was and I was eager to get into Wafer Wharf to do objective levels, couldn't be bothered to spend weeks on this level, so I bailed myself out.
 * 130 - I don't remember this too well but I don't think I had too much of a problem.
 * 135 - Same with 130.
 * 140 - Utterly. Utterly hopeless. I don't know HOW long I was stuck on this level. I lost count. It felt like 1000 years stuck on Candy Crush's most boring level. So much rage. So much anger. So much swearing. What must have been 300 attempts, with constant almost victories, sometimes being 2 candies off, before finally beating this godawful level.
 * 147 - Put 140 to shame. 'Nuff said.
 * 149 - Had no trouble with this level at all.
 * 152 - This level drove me MAD. Having just beaten 147 I was so annoyed to find another hard level so soon. Over 2 days and 40 attempts before bailing myself out with lollipop hammers.
 * 158 - Yesss this one was hard. I kinda just did it. Over and over again.
 * 162 - First try.
 * 165 - First try.
 * 167 - This level had me standing for 2 weeks before bailing myself out with a lollipop hammer.
 * 169 - This level took about 20 tries but I did them all at once. Boy did I rage. I kept getting the orders but failing the goddamn target score.
 * 180 - I quit at this point for a bit. I realised I had reached Hell's Cluster and I therefore quit. I returned to the game a bit later and 80 tries later, I had moved on to...........
 * 181 - Level 181!!!!!!! Let me just say that I would rather be forced to play level 140 on a loop with my nuts being ground up in an eternal blender than redo this level. This level would make Chuck Norris smash his computer with rage.
 * 183 - Third try.
 * 184 - Took a few goes and then got uber-lucky by getting a striped and wrapped inside the middle.
 * 191 - Had me stuck for some time. Stupid bombs.
 * 197 - Took a few tries but my eagerness for level 200 kept me going.
 * 201 - I don't remember this too well, all I remember is being stuck for a while.
 * 208 - Took a good few tries.
 * 213 - Ohhhhh god was this level the death of me. This was before they nerfed it the second time and was still in its "Very hard" state. I can't remember if I used a booster or not.
 * 215 - Had a little trouble with this one due to the colour bomb + colour bomb combo.
 * 234 - Confused the hell out of me.
 * 241 - THIS LEVEL NEEDS TO DIE!!! I don't know how long I was stuck here but it took well over 75 attempts.
 * 245 - Didn't know this level was supposed to be hard.
 * 265 - Took a few tries.
 * 270 - Took a few more tries.
 * 273 - I was actually stuck here for quite some time. I didn't realise how hard this level was going to be.
 * 275 - Stuck here for a good few days. I was so glad when I finally beat this level but I didn't mind being stuck here as it was actually quite a fun level for me.
 * 277 - Four tries and done.
 * 285 - I think I was stuck here for 24 hours or so. Not too bad.
 * 290 - I was stuck here longer than I was 275. Unlike 275, this level I found to be quite boring so it was annoying being stuck here. Gave up for a few days.
 * 305 - A whole day of failed attempts. An entire day. Then I woke up the next morning and pwned this level first try. How the hell does that work!?
 * 311 - This level was utter HELL. I never even came CLOSE to winning this level. Three weeks later I had to bail myself out using two lollipop hammers :/ I'm a dirty rotten cheater I know.
 * 320 - First try. Not hard at ALL. I have no idea why people say this level is hard.
 * 323 - Third try. Again, dunno what is supposed to be so hard about this level.
 * 325 - Had no trouble at all. Didn't even know this was supposed to be a very hard level.
 * 335 - Don't remember this level but I've heard it's supposed to be hard.
 * 340 - Took a good few tries.
 * 341 - About six tries. Not too bad after all I'd heard about this level.
 * 342 - "OMFG THIS IS THE HARDEST LEVEL EVER!!!" having heard that 60 times, I was quite scared about this level, having just done a couple of harder ones. I was laughing when I got SUGAR CRUSH on my third try.
 * 347 - Piece of CRAP. This level pissed me off SO MUCH I almost rage quit. My friend who I'd played with since the start rage quitted this level. One attempt in 20 would see me mix the colour bomb and wrapped candy ONCE. After 2 weeks, immaculate luck resulted in me being able to make the second mix in my last move. I cheared the house down.
 * 348 - I know this level isn't supposed to be hard, but it drove me MAD. Fifty tries on this crap.
 * 350 - Another insanely hard level. I thought, having flown through 320, 323 and 342 that this would be easy. BOY was I wrong. I have no idea how long I was stuck here for, but it was well over a week. Possibly even a month. I dunno. I just got lucky and did it boosterless. That's really the only way to do level 350 - have the candies fall in exactly the right place and BAM, piece of cake.
 * 361 - Put 147, 181, 311 and 350 to shame. 'Nuff said.
 * 365 - Stuck on this level for an entire day. I HATED this level. It wasn't too hard, but it was just soo BORING!!! Glad I was only here for a day. I would've lost my mind otherwise.
 * 375 - I have no IDEA why I was stuck here for as long as I was. Almost three weeks! Bad luck I guess.
 * 377 - This level can just go die in a fire.
 * 380 - Not hard. Only took 10 tries or so.
 * 382 - Fourth try.
 * 391 - Took several tries. Got 1 star, which was a bit annoying.
 * 394 - Stuck for over a week. Piece of crap. Boring as hell.

I am now nearing level 410. I can just tell that will be the end of the line for me. And if it isn't then 425 will. Dark and difficult times lie ahead. Will I ever get through the game's hardest episode - Soda Swamp?

UPDATE: SODA SWAMP IS BEATEN WOOOHOOOOOO!!!

My Battle With Level 419
Many people will remember a time a few months back when I was on level 419. If you're reading this in the future and it has since been nerfed, let it be known that when I did it there were six colours, 50 moves, and the orders were 100 yellows, 6 wrapped and 2 colour bombs.

Some of you will remember the trouble I had, some won't. So for those who don't, here is the story - my never ending battle with level 419 - my least favourite level and the level I was stuck on for the second longest (the longest was 361).

So I had heard that level 419 was hard. The wiki page at the time had the difficulty stated as "Very hard", so I knew I was in for a bash. I was totally SLAMMED by this level. On the first try, I didn't get CLOSE. I don't remember my first few tries all too well. But I seem to remember it took less than 10 tries for me to realise - this level was incredibly BORING. The yellow candy order just seemed impossible to reach. Before I knew it, I had failed my twentieth go. The most yellows I'd ever cleared was no more than 80. Never had more than four wrapped candies either. All I got from the mystery eggs was crap.

I looked at many websites and watched many videos. But I soon realised even Jin Luo couldn't help me out here - I was totally stuck. Constantly asking my friends for lives, I was, until I had no more friends to give me lives. I was sent boosters, which didn't help me in the slightest. Whenever I got a lucky candy from a mystery egg it always yielded a yellow candy. I eventually turned to making a fake Facebook account to give myself more lives. Back and forward out of my accounts, and I never came close.

Over fifty tries, and I had only cleared the yellow order once. In my closest attempt, I had both colour bombs, 5 wrapped and 26 yellows to collect. Every video link for level 419 was purple. I'd watched them all. Yet I just could not for the life of me get close. I was totally stuck.

It was here, at level 419, where I heard the weird "Divine" easter egg for the first time on attempt 66. But apart from that, attempt 66 was a totally normal attempt. In fact, every attempt was exactly the same. Every single attempt had the same story. I was doing the same thing over and over and over and over and over. It was like Groundhog Day. Every single attempt would play out exactly the same - a few pitiful moves at the start to break some meringue and collect about 10 yellow candies in 20 moves. Get some mystery eggs, have them reveal crap, make a few more moves, be at 15 moves before I knew it, then inevitable failure, sometimes not even having collected 40 yellow candies, sometimes, if I was lucky, 70. About 2-3 wrapped candies and possibly a colour bomb or two. Over. And. Over. And. Over. Again. It was like a video stuck on replay.

Weeks and weeks went by. I watched my fail count rising and rising. Over eighty attempts, still only having cleared the yellow order once. It was here that I began to feel that I would never pass this level. I felt in my bones I was at the end of my Candy Crush saga. It was the end of the line. In one evening, I had bash after bash. Fail after fail. This was the one evening I had over forty goes - all of them crashing and burning. Apart from one - attempt ninety. Cascades fell like a monsoon and I was getting colour bombs galore - I had cleared the meringue in no time. I was going to win. I had 7 yellows and 5 moves to go... then the board totally dried up. In those 5 pitiful moves, I couldn't do the simple task of getting 7 yellows where it was critical - and I fell 2 yellows short, having cleared all the other orders. I felt like crap. Then wouldn't you know it - three attempts later, the same happened again, and as I always knew was inevitable, I cleared all the orders and fell a single yellow candy short. I knew from the start that would happen at least once.

I waited for another attempt like that, but I had used up my luck. Back to the same old same old. I really hoped it wouldn't get to this, but it did - before I knew it, I had passed the 100 line. I ordered an upgrade to insanely hard at this point. Every attempt was just another brick in the wall. I had hit a rock. I knew that even if I beat level 419, I would be instantly slammed with 421 then 425. I realised I was probably going to be seeing attempt 200 and possibly 300, so I gave up for a while and quit candy crush.

Meanwhile, attempt 120 passed me by and I started to grow really angry at the game and its developers. Just the same thing. On and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on... I started to make some very rude memes considering level 419 and its creator (all but one far too rude to upload to this wiki). Whenever I played and inevitably failed adding another attempt to the wall of shame, I thought about another crazy way I would kill or torture the maker when I found them.

This was the darkest point of the game. People kept telling me to keep going, but I felt totally drained. I had run out of crazy ways to kill or torture the maker. I had failed that many times. 130. 140. All bricks in the wall. 141. 142. 143. 144. On and on and on. Over and over and over again. The same five steps leading to failure. 145. 146. All the same. Absolutely nothing different. Watching each video for the tenth time over, still to no avail. 147. 148. 149. And then... 150... over and over and over and over and over. Another five lives, then another five lives, then another five lives.

I felt no one in the comments understood just how hopeless this was for me. I even created a new difficulty into the code just for this level - "Impossible" (it was quickly removed). It was totally hopeless. 151. 152. 153. 154. 155. Boom another five lives gone. Friend gave me another life, gone in 3 minutes. Another brick in the wall. That was attempt 156 I just had. I was just about to close the tab on Candy Crush for the final time - I was officially giving up for good - when my friend sent me another life. I figured I'd have just one more go and then when I inevitably failed I would quit for good.

Attempt 157. After a few moves, I realised this attempt was a bit better than average, so I decided to keep going. Even though it was only slightly above average, it was in the top 10%. That is how samey each attempt was. Then a miracle happened. On a six-colour level, I did the impossible - combined two colour bombs. I watched the lightning sweep past destroying every yellow in its path, opening all mystery eggs, revealing a tonne of wrapped candies. BAM. BAM. BAM. All the meringue gone! Yellows were falling like hail and they were all falling in perfect threes it seemed. Colour bombs being created out of nowhere - detonating more yellows and wrapped candies spontaneously created - and with my sixth wrapped candy detonated, I had 3 yellows to collect and still three moves. I swore out loud. There were no yellows to be had. They were scattered in the furthest corner of the board. I made one move randomly and would you believe it - two yellows came down and landed right next to a third. BOOM. SUGAR CRUSH!!!

I cheered so loud that my mum ran in because she thought I was having a heart attack. I'm not even kidding here - I cheered so loud the people two houses away probably heard. My never ending battle had come to an end. I HAD ''WON!! ''I never thought I would ever beat level 419. I had more hope with level 147 - although it took more attempts, I would get close and each attempt would play out differently. So I happily entered "157" into the table and continued on with the quest making light work of levels 421 and 425.

Okay I know this was a long section, and well done if you read it all, but I deliberately made it this long just to show how long and hard my battle with level 419 was.

Weird Divines
As you may or may not know, the "Divine" easter egg terrifies me and has even given me nightmares in the past. So why not record my weird divines right here and the details?

The Birth of Candy Crush Saga Wiki
This wiki was created on December 22 2012 at exactly 1:45pm.

The first page on this wiki was "Levels". I decided to create a candy crush wiki as there wasn't one existing, and one of the first things I did was make the table about level types and their number of appearances and percentage. I collected these stats because I was bored, so I decided to make a wiki and dump the stats in there, as I felt I needed to share my useless stats somewhere. Bearing in mind there were only 230 levels when I collected these stats (I collected them in October) and when I originally collected them, there were only 97 jelly levels! Not to mention 59 ingredient drop levels and only 30-something candy order levels!!!!!

I felt I needed to share my useless stats with the world, so I hit that button and created the levels page. By then there were about 290 levels, but I had been updating my excel document with each new episode, and have done right up until the end (level 500). This also explains how I've so readily had the percentage of appearances.

In the whole month of January 2013, there was not a single edit, comment, creation, blog post or category adding at all. This wiki lay dead. By the end of December there were only 2 pages - Levels and the Candy Crush Saga page itself. And the homepage, which doesn't really count. And the homepage was just a single paragraph explaining the basics of candy crush!

So January was a pretty rotten month. I would view my dead wiki every now and again. This was actually the third wiki I had created - the first two got totally burried and died. So I knew Candy Crush Saga Wiki would suffer the same fate. Then I just stopped caring. I stopped viewing the CCSW. What was the point? I was the only visitor. Then in February, I noticed a single comment on the "Levels" page, telling me this page was very informative. I thought about the amount of time it took to collect this stats, and realised I had wasted my time. These statistics were wasted on the world that was oblivious to this dead wiki.

Throughout the entire month of February, only 15 edits were made in total on this wiki and that includes comments. By the end, there was a third page, Candies. March went by and I never even looked at this wiki. But there was one visit where I went on and there were about 6 pages, none of which I had made. Was this wiki slowly starting to bubble to life?

I never expected it after so many months of this wiki being dead, but more and more pages were created. I created a lot of pages covering the basic elements. And before I knew it there was a page for every episode. But this was still a very small wiki. It needed time to take off. It did take an awful long time, but around about June, things started to come to life. June saw over 1500 edits in its 30 days, but in July, something major happened to this wiki - pages were made for every level. It was something I was against at first, as it would mean too many pages and they'd never be edited. Heck, by the end of July, the only level pages fully formatted where the first eight levels!!!

Through August, the wiki grew and grew and grew. I thought it would take about 5 years to get all the level pages done, especially with new levels coming all the time, but by then, this wiki had already formed its own community. The pages were done in no time. Yes, there are some stubs towards the end, but it has taken only 4 months to get this far. I thought it would take 15 times longer than that.

And now we reach December 2013. Almost a year after the creation of this wiki. Last month saw nearly 20,000 edits to this wiki, which is almost 20,000 edits better than we did in this wiki's first three months combined!! I am amazed at how rapidly this wiki grew - once something like this starts, it will grow exponentially.

And now we only have to wait to see what the future holds. As of December 11, we've hit 5500 edits!

So, want to see the document that eventually lead to the birth of this place? After all, this section you've just read wouldn't exist if it weren't for that document.
