Level 1139

Difficulty

 * The double jellies are underneath the popcorn and icings. There are none underneath the locked chocolate.
 * The jellies are worth 68,000 points . Hence, an additional 32,000 points is required to earn one star.

Strategy

 * There's a lot to do on this level; unless you start to open up the board quite quickly, 40 moves can seem far too few. But if you are able to open up the board soon enough, with popcorns popping colour bombs and lots of space to make special candies and combinations, you can then close out in a hurry.
 * So the strategy for this one is all about the early stage of the level, when you have little space and decisions to make about releasing striped candies and locked chocolate.
 * Ideally, get a few specials ready to go and even make a combination to start your assault, on the popcorn and locked chocolate, otherwise it's easy to get bogged down in chocolate and relatively feeble single stripe strikes.
 * In any case, some pieces of released chocolate can be in more worrying places than others - i.e. some can be isolated and dealt with later, while some will sprawl and mess up your plans. Only divert yourself to manage the latter.
 * Wrapped candies and colour bombs at that early stage are like gold dust and similarly rare; it is well worth using up a few moves to get one of those made and/or in good position to do maximum damage (e.g. in combination).
 * Once the board starts opening up, there are nooks, e.g. in the corners (heavily blocker protected) that might cause some trouble, but by then you should have enough space to make some combinations - colour bomb + striped candy and colour bomb + colour bomb combinations are great while you are still clearing, colour bomb + wrapped candy once there are candies rather than blockers all around.
 * This one might well take you a good few goes before you get a board that opens up for you. That doesn't mean that you have lost your touch and a good enough board should come along for you soon enough.
