Level 713

Due to the board having six candy colours which makes it hard to create special candies or huge cascades, huge amount of icing which causes plenty of moves to clear them, only one double jelly which makes it almost impossible to sustain huge point cascades, the sugar chest which requires all five sugar keys under liquorice locks to open it causes even more moves to be spent and the high three star target score makes it hard to earn three stars. It is available to be voted as the hardest level in Reality to earn three stars.

Difficulty

 * There is only one double jelly in this level, but all five sugar keys must be collected before it can be destroyed.
 * There are 20 four and five-layer icing.
 * Six colours can make it hard to create special candies and reach the sugar keys.
 * The jelly is worth 2,000 points. Hence, an additional 8,000 points is required to earn one star.

Strategy

 * Destroy the icing to open up the board. Take advantage of the wrapped candies in marmalade to reach for ones at the bottom.
 * Use the conveyor belt to plan your moves appropriately.
 * Create colour bomb + wrapped candy to increase your score.

Difficulty

 * The presence of six colours makes it hard to create special candies.
 * The jelly is worth 2,000 points. Hence, an additional 148,000 points for two stars and an additional 298,000 points for three stars have to be earned through matching of candies.
 * With only one double jelly, it is almost impossible to create huge point cascades. Moreover, it is protected by icing and sugar keys, making it impossible to create huge point cascades.
 * The two star and three star target scores are so high that even if boosters are used to complete the level and that 0 moves are spent, a maximum of 140,400 points can be obtained from the jelly fishes. Most attempts only result in a few tens of thousands of points, in the 20000-50000 range (because jelly fish was nerfed).

Trivia

 * This is the second level with only one jelly. The other levels are level 172, pre-buffed level 606, level 940, level 1016, and level 1143.
 * This level used to be easy to earn two and three stars due to the invisible bomb dispensers at columns 2, 4, 6, and 8. The removal of these invisible bomb dispensers makes it extremely hard to earn two and three stars.
 * If you play this level as mystery quest, it will decrease to 142,500, 135,000, 127,500, 120,000, 112,500, 105,000, 97,500, 90,000, 82,500 and so on.
