Level 841

Level 841 is the eleventh level in Nougat Noir and the 228th ingredients level. To pass this level, you must bring down 2 hazelnuts and 2 cherries and score at least 40,000 points in 50 moves or fewer. When you complete the level, Sugar Crush is activated.

Difficulty

 * There are plenty of icing and liquorice locks to clear.
 * The mystery candies may help or hinder the player in dropping the ingredients.
 * The ingredients are worth 40,000 points which is equal to the one star target score.

Strategy

 * Try to make special candies as much as you can. This should help in improving good cascades and breaking much icings in this level.

Difficulty

 * The presence of five colours makes it easy to create special candies and is essential to remove the marmalade covering the cherry. However, it is not all that useful till most of the other blockers have been cleared.
 * The ingredients are worth 40,000 points. Hence, an additional 160,000 points for two stars and an additional 210,000 points for three stars have to be earned through matching of candies.
 * The player is required to earn an additional 3,200 points per move for two stars.
 * The player is required to earn an additional 4,200 points per move for three stars. This amount is higher than the maximum amount of points a striped candy during sugar crush can provide which in this case is 3,540 points. [4] [5] Moreover, only a few hundred points will be earned for at least the first ten moves or even more because the blockers heavily reduce available board space.
 * Colour bombs are hard to create due to the limited number of spaces, at least for the first ten moves or more.
 * Most of the moves have to be spent to clear the blockers and dropping ingredients, reducing the number of moves left to create colour bombs.
 * The coconut wheels are not too much of a help because they only create striped candies (unless a coconut wheel is combined with a wrapped candy) at best, they do not award the player enough points.
 * The mystery candies may help or harm the player in earning three stars. Overall, they are not too useful in helping the player to earn three stars.

Strategy

 * Grasp every opportunity to create colour bombs as they are the only special candies which can give points higher than the 4,200 points per move requirement for three stars. This is provided that the colour bombs are used on the most abundant candies. Colour bomb + wrapped candy combinations are just as useful.
 * Clear the blockers in as few moves as possible so that the player can have more moves available to create colour bombs and increase the effectiveness of the colour bombs.
