Blocker



A blocker is an item in Candy Crush Saga that prevents a player from reaching candies. They usually take up a square (with the exception of cake bombs which occupy 4 squares). Blockers threaten the combination of candies and can be very annoying. There are many different types of blockers introduced throughout the game. Every blocker has unique properties, such as chocolate being able to multiply if not broken in one move, and liquorice swirl blockers being resistant to special candies. Some blockers are easier to remove than others. Blockers cannot be swapped with other candies, with the exception of liquorice swirl and candy bomb blockers.

Blockers are the main obstacles of the board, so you have to clear them. Nearly every level has at least one type of blocker. Levels can have up to five types of blockers, however. The first level to have two different types of blockers is level 25, and the first to have three different types of blockers is level 52.

Sometimes blockers are useful. For example, liquorice swirls and icings could prevent chocolate from spreading, and chocolate could engulf a candy bomb.
