Jelly levels

Jelly Levels are one of the five level types in Candy Crush Saga. This level type's icon is blue with a white square. Jelly levels first appear in Candy Town, the first episode, and the first jelly level is level 6.

Jelly levels are the most common level type, with 212 levels currently, making up 42% of all levels. On average episodes will have 6.1 jelly levels. Earlier episodes usually had 7 or 8 jelly levels, but newer episodes tend to have 6.

Jelly levels are considered the hardest level types, as most of the harder levels, such as 70, 147 , 167 , 184 , 197 , 213 , 275 , 290 , 305 , 311 , 350 , 394 ,  410 , etc are all jelly levels. The list can go on and on as many non-infamous levels can turn out to be hard.

Objective
To win jelly levels, the player must remove all the Jelly on the board. On most jelly levels, this is easier said than done. The jelly is clear in appearance, and can only be broken if a candy on the square with jelly is removed. Once all the jelly on the entire board is removed, the player wins the level.

In level 18, double jellies are introduced. These jellies are white in appearance and take two hits to be destroyed.

Jelly Fishes are helpful for this level but it is not recommended to buy the booster. If they are destroyed, it will help clear 3 jelly squares. Another neat feature about them is that they can reach jellies behind bockers.

When all the jelly is destroyed, the jelly level sugar crush is activated - 3 fish per remaining move fly onto the screen and destroy random candies.

Difficulty
Jelly levels are consistently the hardest types of levels in this game. According to the Hardest level poll, a jelly level is voted the hardest in the game. Most of the Insanely Hard levels are Jelly levels. Some not known levels are not the hardest but overall when you compare an average Candy Order or Ingredient level, it is generally harder.

There are inarguably more Double Jellies in this game than Regular Jellies. At high levels, regular jellies rarely appear. Luckily, double jellies are the most amount of jellies you have to clear in 1 square. However, levels with meringues can take as much as 7 hits to clear 1 block of jelly.

The biggest issue with dealing jelly levels is that you have to destroy the candy on top of the square. This can be easy to say that and for King to design that but it is in fact the most difficult task in the game.

Jelly fishes are provided in some levels. However, players must make very good use of them in order to win. Many times players lose the level because the jelly fish set off at the wrong time and hit the square that can easily be cleared manually. Level 342 is a very great example of this and it requires luck for the jelly fish to hit the right square.

Due to the commonality of jelly levels, therefore this is arguably the biggest reason why this game is hard. Also, many people tend to be stuck at a jelly level for days if not weeks and months. Level 65 used to be the dead worst of the hardest level of all time, until it got nerfed. As of today, level 147 is voted to be the most infamous level. Level 350 doesn't fall far behind.

Trivia

 * The sugar crush used to give a really high score. For unknown reasons however, the fish were nerfed and now they give almost no points on the Facebook version. There was no reason given for this, but it made levels like 183 almost impossible.
 * The double jellies actually appear more than the single jellies. This can make jelly levels much harder.
 * Levels 50, 100, 150, 250, 300, 350 and 450 are all jelly levels.
 * Jelly levels are the only levels where Jelly Fishes can be used, both in gameplay and Sugar Crush.
