Tips & Strategies

Written by our expert Candy Crush players

Remove the bombs with horizontal striped candies and combos.

You must first focus on removing the bombs. This tip is essential because the bombs begin counting down each time you make a turn. Your game will end if they reach 0. You only need one horizontal striped candy to take out both bombs at once. You can also use combos like wrapped+striped and color bomb +striped. Remember to reset a board you don't like if you haven't made your first move yet. Simply exit out of the level and you will get a new board without losing any lives.

Use striped candy and striped candy combos to remove the trapped jelly.

The only way to clear the trapped jelly is with striped candies or combos. This will take some planning and luck to align your striped candies with the jelly. Combos are very helpful here. A striped candy + color bomb candy can help you clear the jelly all at once. If that seems too difficult, a wrapped candy + striped candy is your best bet! The one benefit of this board is the shape-- striped candies are very easy to form!

Look for matches near the bottom.

It is better to make matches at the bottom of your board. If you cannot make any striped candies or combos on your current turn, removing candies from the bottom will help you move candies around your whole board. With luck, the new candies that fall into place will let you make a striped candy , wrapped candy or color bomb .

Candy Crush Level 109 Video

Level 109 is a Jelly level, one of five level types in Candy Crush Saga. Your objective is to 35 moves to clear all the trapped jelly and clear the bombs before they reach 0. 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.

Level 109 is the reason why I don't play Candy Crush anymore. I mean, really…what retard sits at their desk all day designing game levels that are so difficult they're not even fun to play? Games are supposed to be for entertainment, not frustration!!!

Hi Mike, What we are finding is that this level is really baffling the retards. What we suggest is, when you are back in your classroom for children with learning difficulties, is to ask your class tutor to finish this level for you.
Sherri Trunk's avatar
•
Mike, I totally agree. I have been stuck on this level for awhile. It is all pure luck. Most of the time the bombs explode right in the beginnng. If you dont get those stripes you are DONE. IGNORE BEEF (below) he is just a troll that is on here often making sarcastic remarks....

I am the retard. I am also intelligent and really like to exercise my brain cells which obviously you have a lack of.

I agree!!! I hate this level....yet I am determined to finish it...lol!

You dan also use the coulorboms. When you combine them with a candy that's he same coulor as a bom. Wait for a board that has two bombs in te same coulor. Ten use a colour bomb and you will get rid of two bombs at the same time

Using PC here. You lose lives if you back out of a board!!

You cant back out if using PC.

Now,if you back out on your phone it takes a life. I used a special candy to break the jellies but the edges of the board blocked the explosion. What gives?

You can google how to beat levels of candy crush. when you get to the links go to the second one that says candy crush. Then go to where it says level 109 cheat #1 click on the word next. After you do that. Click on level 109 walkthrough, it is a video that will show you how to beat the level. Hope this helps. I have beat many levels that are hard by doing this.

I understand your frustration Mike but one thing you have to remember is that these games are made to make money. They suck you in with easy levels at first and then get harder so you spend money on bonuses. Otherwise why else would they make a free game. Its not out of the kindness of their hearts. If the game is becoming not fun then don't play anymore but keep in mind every free game is going to end up the same way :)

OMG, maybe it really is just luck of the draw...I just completed this level in two tries with 18 moves leftover! Scored 255 some thousand points. I'm a SAHM with only two years of college and, honestly, probably only average intelligence. The tips I read here really were helpful. Concentrate on the lower end of the "board", trying to get Color Bombs (or, I like to call them "Sprinkles") and/or stripes to knock out those first two bombs. It works, or, at lease, it did for me! Thanks for the tips. I NEVER pay actual money to play games online...NEVER!
Andrea Brooks Campbell's avatar

Oops, I may only be of average intelligence, but I'm NOT an idiot. Made a typo mistake, that was supposed to be "least", not lease. The "e" and the "t" are close on the keyboard. :-)

No matter what your professional background is, the levels will either be ridiculous to conquer or easy to get through. It's mind over matter. The creators of these games know what there doing and know people will be frustrated. Stop playing for a day or more and keep trying. Good luck!

My "two cents". First, I think Candy Crush is not only fun and entertaining but also a good way to exercise your brain cells. After all, what's the fun of playing a game that doesn't challenge you in some way? If something is too difficult there are many other games in which to choose from. So move on graciously without the belly-aching. Second, many of my friends have cleared this level with high scores. Most of them do not "pay to play". Finally, name calling is immature and offensive. Grow up.

it does exercise your brain but at the same time your sitting on your but so long trying to get through the level. this one is bad..!

I am on Level 109 right now and I bet I have lost 100 lives since starting it. It is impossible to win unless you get the striped candies or the special one. By the time you do, time is up. You need to give more time or make it less impossible especially after trying so many times as I have. Your other games are just as bad. Such as Pepper Panic Level 48. How can you win when you cannot get all the colors, and nearly every time I play, it has to shuffle at least 4 times. I wouldn't pay a dime for these games. They are suppose to be entertaining, not difficult. It is not like you win anything except the level if you get it. Please make some changes.

109 is why I am quitting Candy Crush. it isn't fun when 90% of your success is determined by how the candies fall.
Anita Curreri's avatar
•
I always reset my board till I can start with a striped candy or candy sprinkler.I have ccombined MANY combos, horizontal and vertical and sprinkler. NOTHING touches the side candies or bombs! They keep counting down and exploding. I've read hints several times and horizontal candies are supposed to get rid of the bombs and side candies. WHY isn't it working?

Goodbye candy crush. When its no fun at all - the thing to do is put it down. Level 109 did the trick.
lanzboy's avatar
•
I feel the same; it is starting to be no fun, which is what this silly addiction should be. This level is a tad too over-complex, and leaves you with one jelly on top level. Also, I have never not had a life deducted, on my kindle fire.

GEEZ, I HATE THIS LEVEL!!!
Debrah Johnson's avatar

Got lucky and made combinations right away. Won the 4th time I played with 5 moves to spare. It can happen. Just don't make a move without looking for 4s and 5s to make combinations. Good luck

Level 109 is absolutly getting to me. I have wasted so much money and time. I think it is a ripoff. I have tried all the help ideas. How can I get past it PLEASE

level 109 did it ........see ya...............
Mike's avatar
•
im on the edge of quitting . this game is ridiuclous, there is no mathematical solution to it, simly not every game can be solved. its purely based on luck what candies you get. sometimes you only have one possible move, which will not do anything at all. the bombs can be removed, but even tho i have 20 more moves spare, i still cannot reach the top jellies, making a horizontal striped candy end up two lines below the jellies, whis is impossible to bring two lines up to destroy them. This level is simply ridiculous - one nees to be lucky

I love reading the comments on these pages! Ya'll crack me up! (Yes I say ya'll)(go ahead and poke fun at me, I can take it). I have been stuck on level 109 for a cool minute, but hey its a GAME! IF IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE EASY YOU COULD FIND IT UNDER "EASY GAMES FOR 3 YR OLDS". GEEZ!
Joe Gawron's avatar

Really? use striped candies,NO geeze why didnt I think of that! By the time I got 2 stripes tp line up BOOM! Only reason I still play is because Im laid up and cant get out of bed!

What a stupidly ridiculous level. I say sack the programmers. I will not spend a single penny buying gold bars or lives. Just make the levels easier you bunch of over paid techie nerds. Dont forget, without us, you wouldn't be multi millionaires.

Im giving this level 2 more days before I give it up as a bad joke - absolutely pathetic - no skill that beats it, so unfair, it must be made this impossible so that people will buy their way past it, I wont be doing that plus I am sending a complaint to facebook about this game as its a farce.

If you think level 109 is tough, wait until you get to level 143. Good luck!

I actually applaud the designer of this game for making it more difficult then easy. Still on level 109 for a week now and I am enjoying this game more then ever.

Keep trying! I played this level dozens of times and suddenly I beat it with almost 275,000 points. It takes a bit of skill but mostly you just have to wait for the right candies to drop.

as a game developer I would have to say that, for the most part, CC is pretty awesome. Most levels are extremely clever -- teaching you how to maneuver the candies or some other skill. Lots and lots of skill. Also fair amount of luck in the harder levels. Very, very addicting. Best cheat is to wait for a promising looking starting level. and keep restarting. dont spend money, though imagine this is next to last level you can get for free. However some levels seem boringly unskilled -- the luck component too large. And some levels are too easy -- the game doesn't get continually more difficult -- in fact some of the most difficult levels were earlier than this.
