6 tries, 2 stars (49,440 points), 5 moves remaining, NBU. I thought this was the trickiest one so far (though not necessarily the hardest). There's way too much going on or not enough going on & there's just too many ways to lose. First I didn't destroy any of the spawners and yet I heard "sugar crush " in disbelief, only to not pass due to not having enough points. Then I got rid of all the spawners only to realize I couldn't possibly make the orders. This level is like a balancing act! Then I had a couple of tries where I didn't kill the spawners but ran out of moves. Then I experimented with which spawner to kill first... I think first I tried the top one first, ended up needing 4 more chocolate. Then finally my winning try, I destroyed the bottom one first which seemed to work best for me. I eventually inadvertently also destroyed the other two & thought I should just pack my bags and go home. But then I discovered, since there was already some chocolate on the board, it still multiplied even without the spawners. So like a similar level where chocolate was an order, I let it grow as much as possible without interfering while getting a CB/striped combo ready when there was enough of the chocolate left that I needed. Still needed to make some simple matches around the chocolate but this was by far the best strategy for me. So just remember, all you need is at least one piece of chocolate left on the board and then feel free to get rid of the spawners (provided you have all the licorice orders) and just let the chocolate multiple on its own! I vote Medium for this one.
