Level 147 is the seventh level in Gingerbread Glade and the sixty-eighth jelly level. To pass this level, you must clear 52 double jelly squares and score at least 125,000 points in 50 moves or fewer. When you have extra moves left in this level, Sugar Crush will activate jelly fish to eat candies and score you additional points.

This level used to be one of the most notorious levels in the game and possibly the hardest, until the Facebook version went through a massive nerf in the end of 2013. The level got reverted back in January 2014, but just got nerfed again the following month, this time on all versions.

Difficulty

 * The side meringues are especially difficult to clear.
 * 15-turn bombs drop once every 5 moves, but they shouldn't pose a serious threat.
 * The fact that the candies don't fill the entire board at the start of the game should give you a minor boost in clearing the jellies, if you're lucky.

Strategy

 * Make as many special candies as you can, especially color bombs which you can clear particular jelly squares.
 * Try to bring a horizontally striped candy to the bottom row. Then activate it as soon as possible. Alternately, combine striped and wrapped candies to clear the bottom 3 rows.
 * Make wrapped candies and detonate them at the lower corners.
 * Let the bombs deal with themselves. Creating large cascades are very helpful in this level.
 * The priority is getting rid of the meringues. Nothing is better than getting multiple vertical or horizontal Striped Candy to clear the bottom and straight meringues.

Trivia

 * This level is one of only two levels to have exactly 52 jellies. The other level is Level 7, which is the second jelly level.
 * This level used to top the Hardest Level in the Game many times.
 * The obsolete nerf was the biggest since Level 65, with a massive difficulty change from "Insanely Hard" to "Considerably easy".
 * The Chinese character "Shan(山)", meaning mountain, is in the level design.

When making a response, please sign with three tildes . And don't forget they're all about the past version, unless it mentions the current version.


 * This level was one of the hellpits of the game for me. There is no telling just how many tries it took. When I did it, the bombs only had 10 moves instead of 15. It was nigh-on impossible. I had well over 200 tries. Only THREE of those finished with me running out of moves. Bombs would always get stuck at the top and run out of moves. When I shut my eyes all I saw was the bomb exploding aimation. This level made me want to quit. It was so rage inducing and BORING. It just seemed no matter how many special candies I got, I always failed in the end. There was one attempt I got colour bomb + striped twice and wrapped + striped three times. I still had no less than seven jellies to clear when a bomb exploded on me. Didn't matter - I had 2 moves left. So yeah, this level is absolutely awful. Nothing more to say. I will want a word with the person who made it though for putting me through all those hours of rage before finally beating it. Lefty7788 (talk) (before nerf)

my mother's phone, with those meringues and with no boosters.
 * While I moved on while I was blocked in the wiki, I was stuck on this level. When I was here, I gave it a try on my uncle's iPad and I found it hard. When I played it for my very first try, when I arrived on the level, I only had a few jellies left, making me so anticipating for the win. When I tried it on Facebook, it was somewhat hard to me, and I depended on it for passing. Now, I passed this level on

Julian the  wiki   Talk Edits Hi! When I have faced this level for the first time, I thought "OK. Everyone is thinking that this one is hard. Let's see if they are right... Bring it one!"


 * Wow I did a mistake.

This level was dreadful. Stupid. Taunting. Annoying. Horrible. Terrible. Horrible AND Terrible: Just why??

Because... It wasn't hard at all. Yes, you've heard me. This level, infamous notorious 147, is NOT hard.

You just need to be technical. Your technique of playing is what makes you win-- Not in that only level, to be honest, EVERY single level requires that. So, If your technique was good enough, You could've win it, even MORE than one try! But only because of that, this levels retorts, causing your technique to be less good than normal. I have considerating these words, and man, It have been almost worked. Half of the tries - or even more- were almost succesful. But anyways, I did not got the chance to winning. But then King have nerfed it-- BIG nerf, if you ask me-- and I did have win.

At all, this is also a lesson for you guys- Always mind your technique and then build a strong strategy.

Good luck! User:Tonverg11 (talk) (NOTE: Talking about previous version!)


 * This level was quite difficult to pass. I did not have that much trouble on it, but here is my story anyway.

Just aim for meringue. Chip away as fast as you can, Try to get most of it cleared before you start worrying about the jellys. Wrapped candy + Wrapped candy is almost needed here. Its blast will cover most of the area of jelly. Leaveing huge aftermath. That is how i completed it on my first try. However, as you get later in the level, the bombs will start to fall. Focus on them. Like tonverg said, thiis level is all about technique and stratagy. Another option is to reset the board until you get something good.

Good luck & thanks for reading! { Espeon  talk

This was one of my top 3 hardest (so far), passing 165 but behind 70.

I was on this level shorter than 70, and I finished with no boosters (70 made me have a jelly fish to win). I was on mobile, so no, I didn't get the nerf. It was HARD, SO HARD YOU GOING TO NEED A BOOSTER! Those are distracting! I mean, meringues, meringues,, it's too hard. I hate this level, and King must nerf it! Now! (For old version)

Update: Now I found it a little easier, but it's more like normal. Good thing those is replacing the upsetting. Now i'm a little happier. Now I got the nerf also! But the is not much of a threat (but it could). No more threats. Thanks for the nerf, King! (For new version)

Good luck, or be stuck. 173.188.174.134


 * I'm at level 147. It was hard with and . So I think we need all boosters, Color Bomb, Striped and Wrapped, and Jellyfish. You also need 5-10 Lollipop Hammers.

(Old version) 147 is a hellish level. Must try your best in 147. Every 5 moves 1 will appear. Try mixing combos. If reaches the 'dead zone' and timer reaches 0, then fail. ''' Not very hard.   Not easy. ''' I vote it medium.

(New version) Update: Yes! I finally completed 147 using Jelly Fish and Lollipop Hammers. No more threats of the. I have waited for 1 week and I got the boosters. The didn't explode in the game. It was played well done. That was easy.

My difficulty: OLD | NEW

I used my strategy. Good luck --220.255.211.219
