Level 649

Difficulty

 * The two layer icing at the start of the board means that special candies must be created to destroy them until matches can be made at the lower board.
 * With five colours on the board, it can be difficult to make a lot of special candies.
 * This level recently got buffed, it used to have four colours and an easy difficulty.
 * The jellies are worth 21,000 points. Hence, an additional 24,000 points is required to earn one star.

Strategy

 * Use special candies to start destroying the icing, then destroy it by making moves at the bottom.
 * Clear the jellies.
 * Early on, Try to make vertical striped candies or striped candy/wrapped candy combinations to clear the icing.
 * Once candies start dropping to the bottom, try to make horizontal striped candies on top and let them drop down. They can be used on the bottom to clear jellies.
