Candy Crush Saga Level 480 - Episode 33: Vanilla Vault

Tips & Strategies

Written by our expert Candy Crush players

Remember Level 479.

The board on 480 is very similar to the one from the previous level. Again, the 2x2 corners are hard to get reach. But this time they have licorice on every square! The lack of the wrapped candy drop from the last level means you'll have to pick a different strategy.

Save the Striped Candies.

There are striped candies in the middle of the level frozen in marmalade. These are the active replacement to the wrapped candy from level 479. Try to use them after you have already cleared the licorice swirl s to get at the jelly.

Use Color Bomb Combinations.

color bomb combinations are going to be your key for breaking through the licorice. The striped / color bomb combo is particularly effective at wiping the board on this level. Making one of these in the middle of the level early on will give you a huge boost in your odds of success!

Candy Crush Level 480 Video

Level 480 is a Jelly level, one of five level types in Candy Crush Saga. Your objective is to clear 17 jelly, score at the minimum 35,000 points, and do it in 45 moves. In order to complete a Jelly level, you must remove all of the jelly on the board. You remove jelly from the board by making a match with a piece of candy on top of the jelly. In the higher levels, you can sometimes get stuck on double jelly levels. On those you have to make two matches on top of a square of jelly in order to clear it from the board! We've got all the tips to beat jelly levels you need here at candy crush cheats!

How To Beat Jelly Levels:

  • Your only objective in jelly levels is to clear the jelly. That means you should only be worried about making matches on top of the jelly, and not other parts of the board.
  • If you can't make a match on top of the jelly, try using jelly fish! Jelly fish act like normal candies in that you match them with other candies of the same color. But when you make a match with a jelly fish, its will activate and swim off the screen. Then three new jelly fish will swim on screen and eat three jelly squares. For double jelly squares, this will count as one match. If jelly is stuck under a blocker that isn't licorice, the jelly fish will still eat the jelly from under the blocker.
  • Jelly squares at the top of the board and at the corners can be tricky, since these are the hardest spot to match candies. Watch out for these, and try to clear the board first.
  • When you clear all the jelly from the level, you will get a sugar crush. This will give you a ton of points.

Bonus Tip: Corner Jelly Strategy

AI

Corners are hardest to reach. Focus on creating striped candies near corners early, before you run low on moves.

Forget bombs and combos. I tried hundreds of times. Use the fish you won on your daily spin. Take out the jellys On the bottom center first. Use the fish for the licorice covered after the others are either eliminated or mostly gone. Try to match a fish with a stripe...viola.

I wonder how often you have to hit the jelly to get rid of them. It seems they go on forever! And vertical striped ones never seem to form where they actually hit something. Also colour bombs - what col0ur bombs? They hardly turn up in this level. Help please?

Yea, it helped to use the fish!

This level is by far the most boring level in this game. I agree, what color bombs? They are far and few between and the striped are never placed where they can be of any help. There is no strategizing due to the placement of striped candies!! No fun, no excitement on 480!

Ya fish is the only thing that works on this level. Match them with stripes or with bombs and you'll do it

I believe when you get two chocolate bombs together it should take out the licorice!
