wow, i didn't even realize this was a hard lvl until i got to 167 and read the comments there saying this was hard... heh... i passed this 2x without a hitch. Probably under 10 tries each time since I didn't even bother checking the wiki. Looking back, I see I had 3 stars on both of them.

So some strategy tips. I always try to make simple combos at the beginning aiming either at the top middle or the bottom corners. Obviously the corners are the hardest to get to and the top middle is just to clear up some operating space. The best is 3 horizontal or 3 vertical right on the corners.

Once the map clears up a bit, you should have no problem making special candies. Also keep an eye out for simple combos in the corners. Usually I'm able to take out all but the bottom row using simple combos in the corners.

Your specials should take care of the middle and the big problem is the bottom row especially the bottom 2 corners. Try to get some horizontal stripes to the bottom. You can let them sit there until you detonate them with a color bomb or they become readily available to be detonated. Don't waste too many moves trying to get to them. Just try to get them to the bottom at least. Target the areas on the bottom that still have multiple layers since the horizontal stripe won't take them out.

Hope that helps.
