Level 42

Difficulty

 * The main obstacle is the pattern of the liquorice locks.
 * Another difficulty is that all six colours are present, which makes it hard to create special candies and combinations.
 * However, you have a high move count, with 50.
 * The ingredients are worth 40,000 points, which is equal to the two-star target score.

Strategy

 * Like level 39 and 41, try focusing on removing the liquorice locks then bring the ingredients down.
 * Try to use striped candy + wrapped candy combinations in the lanes the ingredients are in for a quick win. In fact, any combination is helpful here.
 * Two colour bomb + colour bomb combinations will help you finish this level. However, don't make those your priority.

Difficulty

 * The presence of six colours makes it hard to create special candies.
 * The ingredients are worth 40,000 points. Hence, a two star score is guaranteed and an additional 40,000 points for three stars have to be earned through matching of candies.
 * The player is required to earn an additional 800 points per move for three stars.
 * The liquorice locks make it hard to create special candies. Once they are cleared though, there should be more space to create special candies.
 * The bottom most liquorice locks will block the path for the ingredients to drop down.
 * There is a huge amount of moves. Hence, there should be enough moves available to create special candies, drop the ingredients and have enough moves left for Sugar Crush.

Strategy

 * A strategically wrapped candy + striped candy combination will take out all the liquorice locks in one move. However, this combination is hard to create with six candy colours.
