5th try, 3 stars (but just-125,640 points), a few moves left, not exactly sure how many. Well part of the reason I made sure to change my difficulty rating of 1026 to SW Easy or Medium was b/c I definitely found this one to be harder. SW Hard seems right to me. The tip that the ingredients come down every 5 moves was very helpful so Ty to all who shared it. I agree there's more skill involved in this one if only for that fact alone-it gives you a lot more control over the ingredients. However it also caused a bit of a dilemma for me in that I became so focused on making sure I left moves to bring the ingredients down in the correct columns, that I wasted a lot of other moves just making matches in other columns that weren't all that helpful. So most games I'd end up with the ingredients in the right places & maybe get half down then run out of moves. I also felt that the icing was tough to break & that part was a bit more luck based in that you really need a board where you're able to make matches yourself &/or create combos to break through it. My winning board I believe was due to creating a lot of special candies and combos. The usual helpful ones-color bomb/stripe, wrapped/striped, & one which I had fun with, getting a horizontal stripe down in one of the "stuck"columns and then setting it off by hitting it with a vertical stripe from above. That definitely helped get through the icing. I didn't really have a problem with making matches in the upper right,in fact I would make stripes there whenever possible as well & some turned out to be helpful as well. Had fun with this one.
