Level 972

Level 972 is the seventh level in Soda Swamp (Episode 66) and the 206th candy order level. To pass this level, you must collect 12 yellow candies and score at least 30,000 points in 43 moves or fewer. When you complete the level, Sugar Crush is activated.

Difficulty

 * This level only has five colours, so yellow candies never spawn.
 * The only way to collect yellow candies is by opening the lucky candies already present on the board. No additional lucky candies spawn.
 * The player can leave one lucky candy on the board since there are 13, but the player requires 12 yellow candies.
 * The use of special candies is almost a must in collecting the yellow candies, as it is very unlikely the player will be able to match them with each other.
 * The order is worth 1,200 points (12 regular candies x 100 points per special candy = 1,200 points). Hence, an additional 28,800 points are required to earn one star.

Strategy

 * The colour bomb matched against one of the lucky candy colours can make significant game progress.
 * The colour bomb + striped candy combination is extremely useful in clearing icing and collecting the order, provided the colour of the striped candy is different than either lucky candy colour.
 *  Avoid colour bomb + striped candy combinations in which the striped candy colour matches either of the lucky candy colours (green and blue), as doing this will destroy the order by converting the lucky candies to striped candies.
 * The colour bomb + wrapped candy combination is also very useful, especially when the wrapped candy matches of the lucky candy colours. Moreover, there is always the chance that the second random colour match produced by this combination might match one of the lucky candy colours.
 * Both striped + wrapped and wrapped + wrapped combinations help make considerable progress through their broad range of action.

Trivia

 * This is the first level to have 43 moves.
