Level 4433 is the third level in Dreamy Dale and the 1157th candy order level. To pass this level, you must collect 30 candy bombs, 30 toffee swirls and 30 liquorice swirls in 28 moves or fewer. When you complete the level, Sugar Crush is activated and will score you additional points.

☀Level 4433 is designated as a Nightmarishly Hard Level, and the level truly is a nightmare. At the time of its release, the player got 28 moves to destroy 30 bombs, 30 waffles, and 30 licorice swirls, even though when the level starts there are none of these on the board. That's not enough moves to collect the the orders because magic mixers make the bombs, but also cover the openings that will release the licorice swirls and waffles. This means you have to keep the magic mixers active until at least 30 bombs have been generated, and then you can destroy them and start collecting the waffles and licorice swirls.

Since each magic mixer generates 3 bombs every 3 moves, you you have to hold off destroying the magic mixers for at least 15 moves. Unlike other levels, the magic mixers seem all too easily destroyed on this level because striped candies aimed at the upper magic mixer enter the board right below it.

After you do destroy the magic mixers, if you'e not careful, licorice swirls that take multiple hits to destroy can clog the board under the opening at the top and licorice swirls won't even have room to enter the board. This all implies that you should destroy the upper magic mixer somewhat early, and let the lower one make bombs while you also collect licorice swirls.

There's more bad news though. Licorice swirls can stop forming completely for a few moves when you only have a few left, and then you can run out of moves without any licorice swirls on the board to collect. This can happen if you try to use a large store of lollipop hammers to knock them out, and you have to wait several moves for them to start appearing again.

So whether you buy them or win them, you're going to need enough gold bars to get the moves you need to finish this level. The level was clearly designed to force the player to add moves. It seems to be the first "no pay, no pass" level.
