Level 963

Difficulty

 * There are a few stuck zones present in this level.
 * Many of the icing squares must be destroyed so that all the ingredients can fall to the area where the exits are.
 * In particular, the centre four layer icings must be destroyed so that the ingredient at the centre can slide down once the candies in marmalade and liquorice swirls which come after that are cleared.
 * There are 18-move candy bombs and more will dispense from the candy cannons.
 * Special candies must be used to clear the marmalade and the liquorice swirls which will be dispensed from the candy cannons.
 * The ingredients are worth 20,000 points . Hence, an additional 20,000 points is required to earn one star.

Strategy

 * If there are matches available for the ingredient on board to be swapped away from the candy canon, do it as quickly as possible, ideally before another ingredient appears.
 * Destroy blockers using special candies. Vertical striped candies, and wrapped candies near icings are recommended, as are combinations such as colour bomb/striped and wrapped/striped combos.
 * Try to ensure that the second ingredient does not end up on top of a candy canon by switching/not switching column appropriately.
 * As long as ingredients are appropriately placed (i.e. not directly on top of a candy canon) when towards the bottom of the board, they can be swept off the board by a well-directed special candy or combo.
