Tips & Strategies

Written by our expert Candy Crush players

Make matches on the bottom and sides.

You should prioritize making matches on the bottom, and when you can't make matches there, then make matches on the sides. You want to start at the bottom so you can work on removing the meringue s. Matches on the bottom will also help cascade more candies. Obviously, if you can't make matches on the bottom, then you'll want to remove jelly from the sides.

Make special candies whenever possible.

Once you remove some of the meringues, you may have more space to make special candies . If you can make a wrapped candy or wrapped candy combo, this can really help you out.

Reset your board if you have no moves.

If you open the level and find you have no good moves from the start, you can reset the board without losing any lives. This can only be done before you've made your first move. Simply exit the level and reopen it from the levels map. You'll have a completely new board.

Candy Crush Level 116 Video

Level 116 is a Jelly level, one of five level types in Candy Crush Saga. Your objective is to clear 38 jelly squares in 40 moves and get 100,000 points. 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.

I have found 2 problems in the set-up...first. When i did decide to spend .99 cnts for more lives one time, i had to put the tablet down aftr 1 or 2 games. Several hours went by and upon my return, i felt i would have the new lives earned by time and my 3-4 lives left from my MONEYspent. But no, the counter stopped at 5, absorbing my purchased lives. Not a trustworthy move. Also, a great many times, or often, i do not get the life i earned on the wheel. Im not missing them, just being cheated out of them. Again, does not build trust. About the purchased lives, perhaps you should indicate all purchased lives must be used right now...or lose them.

Why do my lives keep getting pinched?? I had 11 lives in the messages and 5 full lives. After I used the 5 full lives I found only 5 lives instead of 11. So I played 2 of the 5 lives and then went for the other 3 only to find 2 lives there instead of 3!! This happens every day without fail! I have tried NOT sending lives to others UNTIL ALL MY LIVES are exhausted! But still they get nicked! Who steals them and why??????

I never am able to play five games after buying some more. It really is annoying and very obvious that there is some sort of wrangle going on. Another way to get money out of us. Also, I only get 20 moves on level 116. On the walk through it shows 40 as does the tip at the beginning. Has anyone else got this problem? It is an easy level, but impossible with so few moves.
