1st try, 3*s(149,140 points),4 moves left. I'd say Easy or SW Easy at most. This level is definitely much easier than similar ones in the past. I don't know if the layout of the board was actually easier then ones in the past or if it was just easier to make good combos but I was really surprised by how fun & easy this was. I hadn't read the strategy here before playing it but that seemed to not be a problem as my way worked just as well. I basically just went first to wherever I could make specials & then did my best to set them off, esp where the hard to reach squares were concerned. A well placed wrapped/striped definitely helped a lot, as well as a color bomb/striped, and even crossing 2 stripes to get to the hard to reach jellies seemed to really do the trick. I just realized that part of why it was easier is at least the hard to reach jellies were still on the same level as the rest of the jellies as opposed to boards where they're higher. Anyway, I have to say I think I found this to be the easiest episode for me in quite awhile. I really didn't find any boards to be very hard, passed many, if not most, first try, & only used boosters on 3 levels(that may seem like a lot to some but for me it's not as I normally use boosters pretty freely.) Curious to see what the next episode brings! :)
