Well after the last two nightmare episodes I finally got fairly lucky with this one. Got it on my 2nd try, 2 stars (368,260 points, close enough to 3 to make me want to tear some of my hair out), 1 move remaining, 2 switch boosters used. My first try was dismal, I opened no popcorn and made no cb's. When I came to this page and saw another "Insanely Hard", I figured I was in for another 20 tries or so and/or 20 boosters. But lo & behold the force was with me, or I finally got my lucky board early. Normally I don't like to use boosters so early on in my tries but I would've been a fool not to with the board I had. Early on I was able to make a couple of cb's on my own & matched one with a stripe. I didn't open any popcorn right away but I swear cb's just started raining from the sky. I used a switch to bring 2 together and that did start opening up the popcorn and I used another switch to bring 2 more together & that opened the rest of them. From there I was able to make a CB/CB combo on my own & it literally cleared all but one jelly. And I still somehow had 2 cb's on the board. I must've been in shock or something because I could of easily gotten rid of the last jelly by matching a CB to the same color but that didn't occur to me until I'd made a lot of useless moves trying to match the last one myself. Perhaps had I just gotten rid of it a bit earlier I would've managed the coveted 3 stars. But oh well, I'm really not complaining. After the last cpl of levels this one was a walk in the park for me and I'm not taking that for granted! Impossible for me to rate having used boosters my 2nd time & passed. I find it strange this level was rated the same as 1268 which was a gazillion times harder for me. Not to mention 1269 was only rated Hard & that was a billion times harder for me lol. Ah well, I'll just be grateful I'm done with the 3 levels from Hell and be happy I'm moving on. In your face, King!
