3rd try, 2 stars(74,640 points), 2 moves left. Yikes. First I'd just like to take this opportunity to say I HATE tornadoes. I never had a problem with them before but this was too much. My first try I had a color bomb/striped set up & it ruined the stripe. I ended up using the cb on a green trying to open the board but it wasn't enough. Then 2nd game I got another color bomb. I literally waited one move after I got it(in other words didn't use it the second I got it) & the tornado destroyed it. So infuriating! 1st & 2nd attempts were pitiful. For my 3rd I began by shuffling to get a decent board (I can't stress enough how helpful this is if you're playing on iPad or mobile. On PC/FB you'll lose a life I believe). I waited for a board where I could at least make a vertical stripe right away to shoot down & open up the bottom a bit. I seemed to just keep getting stripes without really trying for awhile after that & whenever I could would shoot them down. Then I was able to set up a wrapped/striped which helped enormously. The bottom was pretty much open at this point, some candies still in cages which I kept unlocking, kept making as many specials as possible. Wraps are a bit harder to come by but got one down at the bottom & set it off which really helped as well. I had gotten all the Reds I think at that point & didn't need that many of the blues or greens but I didn't have many more moves left. Very luckily was able to set up a color bomb/striped at last minute. The stripe wasn't one of the colors I needed but it didn't matter b/c by that point I was down to needing about 7 each of them so it did the trick & I passed w/ just a couple of moves left. So yes you definitely need a lucky board here but for those who can, help make your own luck. I mean by shuffling until you get a decent board. Even then it's not like you're going to automatically win but at least you have more of a chance. Other than that I don't know what sage advice I have to give except, until you get rid of the tornadoes, if you get a color bomb use it right away before they gobble it up. I definitely understand how if people were to keep getting unlucky boards they may find this one to be Hard or even Very Hard. I'm personally ok with leaving it at SW Hard but I would support Hard as well.
