Candy Crush Saga Tips

1. Get free extra lives in Candy Crush Saga.

On mobile devices, you can manually set ahead your time to refill your full lives in without paying! Click on the link above for a step-by-step walkthrough on how to get free lives. Read More >>

2. Reset your board if you are dealt bad candies.

On any untimed level of Candy Crush, you can reset your board before you make any moves. If you don't like the set-up, tap out to the main menu and then tap back into that Candy Crush level. The board will be different and you won't lose any lives. Click on the link above for instructions on how to reset your board. Read More >>

3. Always look for special candies.

Special candy moves are always better than the basic 3 candy match. There are three types of special candies in Candy Crush Saga: striped candy, wrapped candy, and color bomb. Learn how to make all the Candy Crush special candies.

4. Special Candy Combos are the best moves to make.

You can combine any two special candies to make a special candy combo. Each special candy combo has a different effect, and they are all very helpful in helping you beat each level of Candy Crush. Here are all the Candy Crush Special Candy Combos.

5. Remove blockers first.

Clear the squares with the blockers first. By matching candies in and near the blocked squares you will be able to complete the level within the set number of moves. Be wary of any blocked squares on odd corners of the board, as they will be more difficult to remove, so try to get rid of them first. For more on  in-game obstacles and blockers, go to our Candy Crush blockers page.

6. Don't always use suggested moves

If you get stuck and don't make a move for a certain amount of time, the game will provide a hint for you in the form of candies flashing. Only use this move if you can't spot any else.

7. Take a look of the entire board and plan out your first moves before randomly matching.

Remember: What are the objectives? Is this a timed level, how many moves do you have, are your ingredients already on the board?

Ted Lee•
HEY!!!! BIG TIP!!! before starting a level you can restart if you dont like the board! i havent tried for timed levels yet but so far they are working!!!!
Fran Murphy•
Just exactly what do u do to get another board without loosong a turn?
Ted Lee•
Just hit back on your phone before you mark any moves. If you can't do that, press the bottom left menu button and endthe level. KEEP IN MIND YOU CANNOT HAVE MADE ANY MOVES
Jessie G•
Love this tip. Nope doesn't work for times levels.
Heather Martin-Pena•
The only problem with that is if you exit the game before you finished you'll lose a life
Ted Lee•
...... thats why the tip is for "BEFORE starting a level". just so you know.

Guys how much time do you invest in this addiction? gay Nichols? My goodness lost in candy land. Best wishes for 2014.
Maureen•
Let's just say.....I need to get a life...or live the one I own!
Sandi Wimmer•
245 is a joke. Stuck all week. Tried at least 100 times between pc and phone. Mystery candys more often deterrents rather than useful candy. If a useful piece is discovered, it's usually wrapped...really??? Are the developers laughing at the rantings of people posting their frustrations? Statagizing is useless since stripes and wraps are usually blown away. Color bombs are useless. This might be the level that leads to the end of the saga for me. This used to be a fun, relaxing distraction from an otherwise hectic, stressful day. I don't need more aggravation.
Patrick Murtha•
level 153.fix the whole nearly impossible thing.color bomb plus color bomb?done it before but its hard
Maureen•
Never going to pass level 140...SOS

judy•
Who is odus bird and why play it after doing 50 levels. Just wondering
Bucinka•
Odus is a retarded bird who should have been weeded out of the owl gene pool long ago. Apparently he forgot he can fly, so if you knock the crescent moon he sits on out of balance by making too many matches of a particular color, he falls off instead of using the wings God gave him. :-P Especially annoying when you're on an color orders level and his crescent has one or two of the colors you're trying to collect. In that case, reset the board.

JudiMorrisonDunham•
When you first increase your date in settings, then opene candy crush to see your 5 lives, you NEED to go back and change your date/time settings back to "automatic" before playing the game. Happened to me several times. The only way I could fix it was to delete my candy crush and reload it. NO, before you ask, YOU DO NOT LOSE YOUR LEVELS! Have done it several times.

Paul Seager•
Am on level 365 and suddenly the game has started telling me that my facebook login has failed and am therefore unable to have my free spin for daily booster - which makes life hard because I dont buy boosters and dont intend to start. I do not, and have never facebooked. I do not intend to go on facebook, I would rather play on without my freeboosters! Can anyone give me an idea how to get rid of this message and go back to playing the way I want.

When I play this on my desktop computer, I am at level 333 (I think). But when I play on my cell phone, I am stuck behind a roadblock at around 330 (it's the caution sign with paint buckets). I've deleted the app from my phone and re-installed, signed in/out of FB, reloaded the app, etc, and I can't get my cell phone to match up with my desktop. Any suggestions?
