Level 1280

Difficulty

 * Chameleon candies will switch back and forth every move, causing unwanted cascades.
 * The board is initially unstable, making this board result in pure luck.
 * Mystery candies can result in extra special candies, or they may result in harmful blockers that may hinder your progress, making you lose the level.
 * The orders are worth 40,000 points. Hence, an additional 40,000 points is required to earn one star.

Strategy

 * The thing you are looking for the most is the wrapped + striped candy combinations. The other special candies can be collected by performing this combination and with mystery candies all over the board. You can get wrapped candies or striped candies from the mystery candies or simply making them out of regular candies. Simply nothing better than getting back to the basics!
 * A striped and wrapped booster here will help you tremendously if they appear next to each other - the booster will give you one order necessary.
 * Try not to activate mystery candies prematurely. If you do, a candy bomb with five moves may appear isolated in tons of icing, making you lose the level.
 * The other candies will come much easier as they do not have to be combined. Conveyor belts will help you make these candies too. Along with five colours to help you make them easily, this level should not be hard. After making the last special candy, give yourself a pat on the back since you have completed the level, finishing a tough episode.

Trivia

 * The structure of the board looks like level 1266.
 * The number of orders the player needs to collect are the same as pre-nerfed level 1180.
