10th try, 1 star(71,200 points), 5 moves remaining, NBU. Weird how iPad users have 19 moves instead of 20. Anyway, what a joke this level turned out to be. Honestly this whole episode was really blah for me, little imagination, and not just easy levels but silly ones, this being one of them to me. That being said, I still found this level to be Hard. And not just because it took me 10 tries 🙄. Within my first 5 tries I had boards where I needed 1,2, or 3 jellies & on the board where I only needed 1, I seriously considered just ending my misery with a hammer. And it's not that I'm a "purist" & against boosters or anything like that, it was just 1. I normally don't like to start using boosters that early on & 2. I'd managed to get through the entire episode without them so figured I might as well at least try and see if I could make it to the end without using any. And so I did, but it's kind of anticlimactic lol.

Anyway, after so many tries of following the strategy above and moving the frog to that stupid left corner and then going for a CB/striped combo, that's not even how I passed. In fact I didn't end up using the frog at all to pass! That's why it seems so silly to me now, after all those frogtastics, in the end I didn't even need him.

I passed by making 2 CB/striped combos and in between them I had another CB that somehow fell right next to that one oddly placed jelly in the bottom left corner. I already had the 2nd CB/striped combo set up but I was afraid it may not take that one out so just matched the CB next to it with it. Then set off the 2nd CB/striped combo & that was that. The frog just sat there & stared at me lol. But yeah, the awkward board shape, limited # of moves, and that very oddly placed jelly are what make this a Hard level to me. I found the first level in the episode to be the most difficult for me with this a close second. 🐸
