Level 497

Difficulty

 * The restrictive board can make the level a bit difficult, as making wrapped candies requires quite a bit of space, not to mention that there are six colours on this level as well.
 * The wrapped candies in the corners can cause players to attempt to aim for those candies, which can waste a lot of moves.
 * Even if you free the wrapped candies, they will not slide from the side pockets. The only way to use them is by doing a wrapped candy + striped candy combo by the sides, using a colour bomb to activate them, or through a shuffle. An exploding wrapped candy next to the ones in the corners will also activate them.
 * The order is worth 8,000 points . Hence, an additional 2,000 points is required to earn one star.

Strategy

 * Try not to get the wrapped candies unless it happens naturally through other combinations.
 * Use the colour bombs to temporarily remove a colour from the board, making it easier to create more wrapped candies.

Miscellaneous Info

 * 1) 8 special candies x 1,000 points per special candy = 8,000 points
