This is a doozy of a level, but the nice thing is that it's largely skill-based, meaning that random luck only plays a tiny part in one's success here.

At real issue are the isolated jellies mentioned in the Wiki -- you'll know them when you see them. Also challenging is the sheer number of jellies & double jellies that need to be cleared. There are lots of turns available, but they often don't feel like enough. I can't tell you how often I got within 1-3 jellies toward a solution when time ran out!

Fear not, this can be solved and you will solve it eventually! For me, this took ten or twelve attempts. The winning advice I can offer here, in addition to what has been offered elsewhere, is this:  on this winning turn, I focused exclusively on making -- and combining -- special candies. Between each turn, I would scan the board in search of a special that could be made -- any special, anywhere on the board. Only when there were no specials to be made did I then take a "regular turn" and seek to get rid of jellies via regular matches. This seemed to make the difference, I think -- a Chocolate Bomb + Striped Candy combo I was able to engineer was certainly a huge help, too.

Good luck!
