7 tries, 1 star(52,000 points), NBU. I guess 7 is my lucky number so far in this episode. This one is definitely hard & one you need a lucky board to start out with. On my 2nd try I got 45,780 points and was praying I'd get 5 extra moves on the wheel because I don't even have enough gold bars for more moves but alas, it wasn't meant to be. It did however make me feel like the level was doable with the right board(I was going to say that was the only try where I broke both cake bombs but now I can't remember if I broke the top one as well as I played/passed much earlier today 😕). My try prior to my passing one I got a grand total of 9,360 points lol(that was my worst). But actually, I've noticed that happens often, a terrible board will be followed by a really good one. Still, I was keeping my expectations fairly low. The advice on here to use cb's on random colors which were dominant on the board was extremely helpful. Prior to that, I was matching cb's with stripes mostly to try and break the cake bombs but it's much better just to go for the points. On my winning try I had 2 cb's and used them both that way(random, dominant colors). I also had a wrapped/striped combo at some point. Oh I actually had another w/s set up directly over the bottom cake bomb but just remembered my 2nd CB I matched with a blue which was definitely dominant but I also already had some specials made with blues. Specifically a striped blue which helped break up more of the cake bomb & a wrapped directly over it which I don't think did much tbh because I only needed one more piece & it was at the bottom. I was able to hit the last piece by setting up a horizontal stripe on my last move that I knew would be activated in sugar crush. So when it was & the cake bomb exploded, a couple of more specials formed & helped with my score(though technically I think I'd already passed at that point). Like Flockky, I never broke open the top cake bomb so it's not necessary to do so to pass.
