Level 1448

Difficulty

 * The evil spawner is crazy - it can spawn random blockers, including 5-move candy bombs which are very hard to clear especially if there are already a lot of blockers on the board.
 * The starting board layout makes it impossible to create a colour bomb until one of the single layer icing is cleared. Even then, the evil spawner may spawn more icing.
 * The jellies are worth 80,000 points. Hence, an additional 20,000 points is required to earn one star.

Strategy

 * The first priority is to destroy the evil spawner in as few moves as you can. You should clear the icing to get the extra spaces for candies to spawn.
 * After clearing the evil spawner, make special candies and combine them to clear the remaining jellies.

Trivia

 * As of this level, the evil spawner has been upgraded to its maximum capacity. It can now spawn four and five-layered icing and can spawn all 10 of its blockers in the same level. Worse, it spawns up to eight such elements.
 * It also breaks the trend of rotating blockers. This spawner can spawn any possible blocker in the list, though each time it only spawns one of the kinds.
 * In all previous levels, the elements the evil spawner spawns are predetermined by each level, and the elements spawned go in rotation. For example, the evil spawners in Level 1398 always spawn chocolate first, then liquorice locks. This is the first level where the elements spawned in evil spawners is specially coded such that it may spawn any blocker in any order. It is represented as element 0.
 * The overall layout looks similar to that of level 1376.
