There is a vigorous debate below over the relative difficulty of this level, but I must say I am finding this one to be quite difficult indeed!

This seems quite odd to me, as I can't recall ever having much problem with timed levels in the past.

What seems to be happening this time around is that there are not that many "+5" time boosters showing up on any given board, and moves that seem like they SHOULD be worth big points just aren't. For instance, on this last attempt I had no fewer than five Chocolate Bomb + Striped combos, along with a variety of other combos and such, and I only scored just over 40,000 for the round.

Even more strangely, twice now I finished a round with around 40ish thousand points, but the Sugar Crush cascades brought me up to 74,460 -- just shy of the 75,000 target. That seems pretty artificial or weird to me.

Not much advice I can give, other than to go for as many specials & combos as you can and just keep plugging away. I've been at it for 15-20 tries now without success, but I figure I'll get a luckier board one of these days and finally pass this round. At least I hope so.

Good luck:/
