Are you having trouble on this level?

I did -- a little. Unless or until you get lucky (which is going to be our point, read on ...), the idea of crafting five-in-a-rows seems almost impossible. The cake/icing take up most of the board, licorice is falling everywhere, there are bombs dropping too!

I don't think this level is easy OR hard, I think it's one of those levels where you have to wait until you get a board that's on your side. You know, those times where five-in-a-rows seem to happen naturally and the right pieces seem to fall at or near where you need them.

There are a COUPLE things we can do under the circumstances, though:

1.  Take your time between moves:  take the time to look over the board & try to spot areas where a "special" might be possible.

2.  DO chip away at the icing/cake. Removing this is not a priority at all, but the more icing squares you chip away at, the more spaces you have available to make combos. So, where possible, make moves that will chip away at these areas!

3.  Prioritize making wrapped candies -- the layout of the board (with the cake/icing intact) doesn't offer much room to make wrapped, so keep your eyes open for these opportunities! Along with candy bombs, of course.

All-in-all, not a hugely hard level but it can get frustrating and eat a number of lives! Good luck!
