I passed this one on the second try, 3 stars(score 140,300)but I used a hammer for the last jelly. Basically all I did strategy-wise was scroll in & out a cpl of xs until I got a decent starting board(which to me means I can start out by making a special candy &/or in this case match something to open one of the cages &/or break icing). I always recommending doing the same for levels like these if you're playing on an iPad or mobile device. I can't stand it when you get a board that just won't let you make any good moves. Anyway, from there on it was mostly luck tbh. I was able to not only open the cage on the left but was able to make a striped over the other one. Actually was able to make several(one on the right as well over the locked one which I also was able to open)& since once you are able to open the cages there are more, there was a lot of ammo to hit the popcorn. Also I was then lucky enough to get a wrapped/striped combo which opened up the first popcorn. I just realized at first I thought I was really lucky that both color bombs fell right next to stripes but actually unless you'd taken all the locked stripes out they would have to I think. Anyway the first cb/striped combo opened up the 2nd popcorn. I actually would suggest clearing the right side first if possible or at least once the board is open b/c when you do candies from the left fall in, creating more options for matches. So yeah I was fortunate enough to be able to clear everything except one jelly & was not about to waste a great board like that so used a hammer on the last one. I agree this is a Very Hard board. Once you are able to open the popcorn & cages it does get a lot easier BUT even then you could still get stuck having nothing to make but useless matches. GL guys!
