Talk:Level 952/@comment-24693751-20150605092011

Well I haven't gone to bed lol...I think the guilt for basically cheating my way through 951 by using so many boosters was eating at me. I wanted to pass a level legitimately & I got very lucky with this one b/c I passed on my 1st try w/ no boosters(got 2 stars). I'm not sure if I just got a lucky board or what but I noticed from the comments I'm not the only one who passed on 1st try though the majority found it difficult. Honestly I was surprised to see the Hard rating on here since that wasn't my experience(though I did think it would be at first). I focused first on the jellies on the conveyer belt & maybe this is where I got lucky b/c I was able to clear them fairly quickly. I'd make a match & then they'd start matching on their own it seemed when new candies came in. At the same time I was making specials of course whenever possible on the rest of the board too. I didn't even realize there were all those jellies under the icing too until I started breaking it! But again didn't find it terribly hard to get rid of. One thing which I did a little differently then normal was, usually if I'm able to make a wrapped/striped near a color bomb, I'll just set the wrapped/striped off & let it take out the cb. But since I was still trying to get some of the jellies on the conveyer belt at that point, I matched the cb with a different color than the wrapped/striped(I checked that it wouldn't disturb it before setting it off). Then I set off the wrapped/striped & the combo of both the cb & w/s helped me to finish off the conveyer belt jellies. I just counted 4 other ppl on this pg alone said they got this 1st try too so that's 5 with me. And it seems a bunch of others got it in a few tries. Just an observation, I really don't think it's fair to rate a level after passing it first try b/c it could've been luck. But that does make me wonder if perhaps this one should be downgraded to SW Hard or even Medium? I'm sure most will not agree though. Anyway just one more thing, I see that others said their strategy was to get the middle column first. As I mentioned, personally I found starting with the conveyer belt worked well for me. Of course once I was out of matches on the conveyer belt, I started working the middle column too. But just wanted to share what worked for me. I think ultimately having a balance is probably best & of course just making as many specials as possible. This one was truly a relief to me after 951!
