Talk:Level 656/@comment-26306737-20150419195448

While luck can certainly help in completing this level, 656 is exactly the kind of strategy-based level I find fun in Candy Crush. This one will challenge you a bit, but it WILL also reward careful planning and forward thinking. I was able to finish this one in six or seven tries, but it really took a decent amount of thought:  taking the time in-between moves to study the board and to look for openings.

The conveyor belt will wreck your plans here and there, and that can be really frustrating. Fortunately, you can see what belt pieces are approaching the main "play board' well before they get there, and you can incorporate this into your strategy, too.

A few random tips:

1.  Work as much as you can at the bottom of the board -- cascades will sometimes give you freebie wrapped candies to work with!

2.  They are easy to forget, but try NOT to forget about the two pairs of wrapped candies hidden behind single-layer icing just off from the main board. These are freebies! But you must do away with the icing first. Best bet is probably to form your first main-board match in the vincinity of these freebies, so that the initial "blast" clears the coating -- then you can combine the freebies for an add'l point.

3.  Once you're able to make a wrapped candy, get it the heck AWAY from the conveyor belt!!! If you don't, chances are good that a random match-candy will convey along on the belt and kill your wrapped candy before you're able to use it. The best way to do this is to make matches under your wrapped candy, carefully dropping it away from the conveyor belt.

4.  Candy bombs seem to form easily on this level. Use these to your advantage:  getting rid of any single colour makes creating wrapped candies THAT much easier! Personally, I tried to avoid making stripped candies, as they aren't worth anything and their explosions just get in your way.

Good Luck!
