Level 713

Due to the board having six candy colours which makes it hard to create special candies or huge cascades, huge amount of icings 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 icings.
 * Six colours can make it hard to 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 icings 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.

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 icings 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.

Trivia

 * This is the second level to have only one double jelly (the first being level 172, the third being Level 940, the fourth being level 1016 and the fifth being level 1143). However, this used to have two double jellies.
 * 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 insanely hard to earn two and three stars.

Miscellaneous Info

 * 1) 1 double jelly x 2,000 points per double jelly = 2,000 points
 * 2) 45 moves x 3,120 points per move = 140,400 points
 * 3) In practice, so many moves are required just to clear the blockers and get the sugar keys that there are very few moves left for sugar crush.
