Strategy
Liquorice locks are officially introduced. To widen up the board, focus on clearing liquorice locks because they are the only things that are holding you back the most.
You do not need to clear all the icing, or all the liquorice locks, just get the points by focusing on creating special candies.
The presence of six colours makes it hard to create special candies.
The player is required to earn at least 680 points per move[2] for two stars, and at least 1,000 points per move[3] for three stars.
The blockers restrict available board space and are hard to clear.
The board is very big with 81 spaces. Hence, it is relatively easy to create special candies and cascades once most if not all the blockers are cleared.[4]
