5 tries, 1 star, BU(+3 moves from a friend & 1 hammer for last piece of icing). Yeah this one is definitely at least Hard. My 4th try I won 5 extra moves from the wheel and still needed 9 pieces of icing left so when I managed to get down to 1, I decided I better use a hammer to be on the safe side. I was wondering if this would be easier on PC as these levels sometimes are but from the comments it doesn't seem like it. One thing I discovered is that it's fairly easy to make cb's but not always easy to match them with a stripe. In my winning try, I matched a CB with a candy that is the same color as one of the wraps on bottom and also there were a couple of regular candies of that color as well. I think it was also the same try, I created a CB/wrapped combo & the wrapped had some candy of the same color on bottom so that's how I was able to open the board. That & regular vertical stripes and wrapped/striped combos and of course CB/stripe combos all helped but it took me a few games to realize that the wraps are just as helpful as stripes, if not more so.
