Order

An example of an order.

An order is an element in Candy Crush Saga, and it is needed to be cleared to complete candy order levels.

The orders appear on the left hand side of the screen, in the same place to where the ingredients are displayed for Ingredient drop levels. There can be anywhere between one and three orders to finish the level.

For example, if an order shows a 10 next to a green candy, the player must clear 10 green candies. Types of orders get more complex as the game progresses.

When the order has been cleared, a check-mark appears next to that order and the level is completed when all the orders have been cleared.

Types of order

There are several types of orders a player will have to clear during the game.

• Candy colour order - The player must collect a certain number of a certain candy colour, for example, 20 red candies. They collect these by breaking them on the board. Theses orders appear for the first time officially in level 31.

• Special candy order - The player must get certain special candies to win the level, for example, 3 colour bombs. These orders first appear on level 55.

• Special candy combination order - The player must combine two special candies as part of the order, for example, combining a striped and wrapped candy twice. These orders are usually much harder to fill, especially if there are more candy colours on the board. These orders first appear on level 384.

• Blocker order - The player must remove certain blockers to complete the order, e.g. 30 layers of icing. These orders first appear on level 32. They dominate the orders in most levels, such that they are truly the most common order type in the game. Both movable blockers (such as liquorice swirls) and immovable blockers (such as liquorice shells) are required.

• Booster candy order - The player must get certain booster candies to win the level. Booster candies are the special candies that cannot be created on the board and formerly only appeared when the respective booster was activated at the start of the level (which changed when these candies could be found on the starting board in later levels). Examples are jelly fish, coconut wheel and lucky candies, although only jelly fish have been required so far. These orders first appear on level 47.

• Non-regular candy order - The player must get certain types of candies to win the level. These candies usually qualify as secondary elements and can't be classified as special candies, blockers or booster candies. Examples include mystery candies and candy frogs. These orders first appear unofficially in level 412 and officially in Level 3678 before redesigned. Now first appears at level 5506.

Additionally, there is a concept for candy orders which has been around since level 168. This concept is that the level requires orders for something that would otherwise be impossible to fulfill without lucky candies, i.e. orders for colours that don't spawn, orders for blockers which don't appear on the board and orders for special candies and their combinations on a board where said special candies can't be created, due to the board being too small. Additionally, orders for booster candies that don't spawn are eventually required. Earlier levels only had lucky candies, so they must be used wisely. In later levels, there are lucky candy cannons, so there was no danger of making the order impossible to fulfill.

A candy order level can require up to three orders. Often, the orders are the same type. A level with three orders will probably be either three candy orders, three special candy orders or three combination orders. Sometimes, there will be a mixture (Such as 200 blue candies, and 5 striped + wrapped for the old versions of 425; only 1304 has the first three types).

For colour orders, all six different colours have been required as part of an order at least once. All three special candies (striped, wrapped and colour bomb) have been required as part of an order and all six special candy combinations (striped+striped, striped+wrapped, striped+colour bomb, wrapped+wrapped, wrapped+colour bomb and colour bomb+colour bomb) have been required as part of an order at least once.

However, there are some blockers that, to date, have never been required as part of an order (i.e. sugar chests). Candy bomb order is introduced in level 3044. Cake bomb order and magic mixer order have also been introduced, along with most blockers exclusive to HTML5 (such as dark chocolate and crystal candies) but it is unknown if any other blocker orders will be added in the future. The only booster candy order to date is jelly fish order.

Trivia

• Even though the level only requires candies, if the player hasn't collected all the required candies, the "Oh No!" screen will still show that the player only requires (Insert number of candies left) combinations.
• The new order types (booster candies and non-regular candies) do not appear on Flash version, because it ended at level 2825.
  • Orders for candy bombs, cake bombs and magic mixers don't appear on Flash version either, for the same reason.
• There are currently no special candy and combo orders requiring:
  • The booster candies Coconut Wheel and Lucky Candy. Jelly fish order has been introduced, but jelly fish combination orders haven't yet. However, with combination orders not appearing at all in later levels, it's unlikely that jelly fish combination orders will ever be introduced.
  • UFO
  • Sugar Key
  • Chameleon Candy
• There are currently no blockers orders requiring:
  • Encasing blockers (marmalade, licorice lock, sugar chests)
  • Indestructible blockers (chocolate fountain, bobber, candy cane fence, liquorice fence)
• Toffee tornadoes, sugar drops, extra time candies and extra moves candies were never required for candy orders, even before their removal.
• Also, there are various other combinations for orders which currently don't exist, i.e. colour bomb and specific candy colour combination or specifically coloured special candies. There are also currently no orders for candies such as extra moves candies or chameleon candies (though this may also change in the future, since there was a gap of around two years between new order types).
• Level 33 is the first level with blocker order and classic candy order (normal colour candies and special candies) in the same level. Level 1502 was the first level with blocker orders and special candy combination orders in the same level.
• This is one of the elements which has been released in multiple years. Orders themselves were released with candy order levels in 2012. 15 orders were released; all 6 colours, the three main special candies (striped candy, wrapped candy, and colour bomb), and all 6 combinations involving said special candies. No more orders were introduced until 2016. The timeline for new candy orders since then is as follows:
  • 2016: Blocker orders (frosting, chocolate, liquorice swirls, popcorn).
  • 2017: Jelly fish order.
  • 2018: Candy bomb order, waffle order, magic mixer order, cake bomb order, mystery candy order (now defunct), dark chocolate order.
  • 2019: Candy cane curl order, crystal candy order, rainbow twist order.
  • 2020: Candy frog order, sugar coat order, bubblegum pop order, liquorice curl order, sour skull order. Also, liquorice shell order replaced popcorn order this year.
  • 2021: Bonbon blitz order. Also, toffee swirl order replaced waffle order this year.
• Currently, all destructible blockers exclusive to HTML5 version can be required for candy order levels.
• As of Episode 528, orders can be required to unlock order locks, even in level types without candy orders required to complete the level.
  • 29 out of 35 orders can be required to unlock order locks. The other six orders that haven't yet been required to unlock order locks are mystery candy order, and all but one special candy combination order. Combination orders have not been required at all in most later episodes, while mystery candy order has been phased out entirely.
• Combination orders have not been required in later episodes, and it's likely they have been phased out, similar to chameleon candies, 6 coloured levels and moves levels.
  • Mystery candy order has been removed from the game as of 21 January 2021.
• As of 11 December 2020, the order icons for coloured element orders (striped candy, wrapped candy, candy bomb, jelly fish, mystery candy and candy frog) have been changed. All of them are now a dark pink colour, instead of greyish-purple.
• Orders being made impossible to fulfil is one of two ways to make the "Oops!" message appear, the other being when the board shuffles and there are no possible switches. Orders can be made impossible to fulfil if the magic mixer is destroyed too early, if the chocolate is destroyed too early, or if there is a finite amount of the element on the board and it is swallowed by chocolate or replaced by another element from the magic mixer.
