Level 38

Difficulty

 * There are a lot of liquorice locks and icing that limit the space on the board.
 * You don't have many moves to open the board. Liquorice locks are much more difficult to clear than icings.
 * Luckily, there are 5 colours.
 * The jellies are worth 40,000 points, which is equal to the one star target score.

Strategy

 * The best way to complete this level is to make colour bomb + striped candy combinations.
 * Try to make wrapped candy + striped candy combinations. After this, clearing the rest of the jelly is quite easy.

Difficulty

 * The presence of five colours makes it easy to create special candies.
 * The jellies are worth 40,000 points. Hence, an additional 70,000 points for two stars, and an additional 110,000 points for three stars have to be earned through matching of candies.
 * There are plenty of liquorice locks and icing, causing the player to spend a good number of moves to clear them.
 * The positions of the jellies make it hard to sustain huge point cascades.
 * The board is open with 81 spaces. Hence, it is easy to create special candies and cascades once most of the blockers are cleared.
 * With respect to the three star target score, 35 moves are insufficient to boost the score by a huge amount of points to meet that target score.
