Moves

Moves are one of the main features of Candy Crush Saga. A move consists of matching at least three same coloured candy in a row. A successful match will bring down the total number of remaining moves by one. Moves can also be made by combining a colour bomb with a candy or another special candy, a coconut wheel with a regular or special candy, or using a Free Switch booster to make a move.

Any remaining moves left over from a level will result in Sugar Crush.

The moves can range from a mere 6 moves (Level 1 mobile) to a generous 65 moves (Level 500). When you run out of moves and haven't reached the objectives, you will fail the level.

Trivia

 * Level 1 (first level) has the least moves, whereas level 500 has the most moves and boosters
 * A very early beta stage of level 15 had 90 moves, but it asks 14 ingredients to bring down (7 cherries and 7 hazelnuts)[1]
