Level 1

This level is a tutorial level that will teach you the basics on how to play Candy Crush Saga.

Difficulty

 * There is zero difficulty at all in this level. Just make matches to complete the level, even with plays consisting of only simple matches and no cascades, as such matches will give you 60 points, ensuring completion of the level.
 * On Web, the only way to fail is to tap the quit button. On mobile devices, the only way to fail is to tap the quit button after at least one move has been made.

Strategy

 * There is no strategy, so you just play normally and try to make at least one combination. Also, try to make special candies to boost your score.

Difficulty

 * The presence of six colours makes it hard to create special candies. However, this point is less critical as a match will frequently result in cascades. Moreover, there will be at least a match of four or five which in turn gives special candies, further increasing the score.
 * The player is required to earn at least 80 points per move for two stars and at least 100 points per move for three stars.
 * If a single cascade occurs, you will have three stars in the end.

Exception

 * Despite the above ratings, there is a way of earning less than two and three stars. It is to only make matches of three at the upper portion of the board. However, it is less likely to occur due to cascades. The minimum point you can get is 360, obtained when you make six matches of three without any cascades. It is also the minimum amount you can obtain throughout the entire game without failing the level.

Trivia

 * This level used to have split versions. It used to be one of the few levels where the Web version and the mobile version have differences in target scores not owing to update times and glitches. The level only got nerfed on Web. The one thing that both versions have in common is that, the number of colours have been increased from five to six (it is unknown when level 1 had five colour, but it is very very early).
 * This is the level with the second least amount of moves in Reality and the entire game. Level 463 Dreamworld, level 976 and level 1055 (both Reality) have only 5 moves.
 * This design re-appears in and is based on the very first version of the level (5 colours instead of 6).
 * This is the only level in the entire game, including Dreamworld, to have 6 moves.
 * This level is the only Reality level to have a difficulty of "None"; it is the only level which is theoretically impossible to fail under any circumstances save quitting and glitches.
 * This is the first level whose target score is in the three-digit figures. Also, this is the only level in Reality whose target score for 3 stars is in the three-digit figure. Dreamworld has level 1 and level 2 on mobile.
 * Although this marks the beginning of the game, this is the only level with six moves in both Reality and Dreamworld.
