Hint Moves

Hint Moves or Suggested Moves or possibly known as Flashing Candies occur when a player hesitates to make a move. This basically means a possible move suggested for a player as a hint. Of course, a player doesn't actually have to make those moves. Usually those are not the best moves so it is recommended you think of those hints as a way of making this board look fancy instead and come up with your own strategy. However, it can be useful for Timed Levels if you're having a lot of trouble finding a switch. Every few seconds (please confirm) this same hint will flash until a move is made.

Colour Bombs occasionally flash if there are no other possible candy matches. Coconut Wheels never flash. King may want players to save up these candies as they should only be used during utility situations.

Two Striped Candies adjacent to each other usually are the first matches to flash. Same goes for two adjacent Wrapped Candies. A Wrapped Candy + Striped Candy are also very common hint moves. (What is the priority order).

On levels that have Locked Candies, a suggestion could in fact be made even if it is not movable. Don't panic though if there are no moves but this is suggested because if you fake a switch, it will automatically shuffle.
