PLEASE READ THIS IN FULL BEFORE SAYING YOU LOSE A LIFE IF YOU RESET WITH THE BACK BUTTON!!!! YOU WILL NOT IF (PLEASE NOTE THE 'IF') IF YOU ARE ON A TABLET OR PHONE. YOU CAN SOLVE THIS LEVEL IF YOU FOLLOW THE GUY'S INSTRUCTIONS THAT I'VE COPIED BELOW IN MY POST. BUT YOU WILL EITHER NEED TO BE LUCKY, OR HAVE A PHONE OR TABLET, SO YOU CAN USE THE BACK BUTTON UNTIL YOU CAN START WITH THE FIRST INGREDIENT IN ONE OF THE MIDDLE THREE COLUMNS! I followed his advice carefully, and got through on third try of starting with first item in the middle. Keep calm, think each move. I promise it will work if you have a little patience. mitchellvii • 7 months ago Ok guys, this level is hard but the method to defeat it is simple: 1) Make sure your first condiment appears within the middle 3 columns. If it does not, hit back on your phone and restart the level until it does, this will not cost you a life. 2) Condiments appear after the 26th and 11th moves. Make sure you have saved at least one vertical move in the middle 3 columns for this timing so that condiments will always appear in the middle. 3) If you are going to break into the chocolate early, do so at the edges. Chocolate growing up the sides does not matter. It is the middle you want to keep clear. 4) If you get any vertical stripe candies in the middle 3 columns try to save those for when you can take out a condiment in the same column. If you are lucky enough to have two condiments in one column, you can take out two with one candy. So, this level is still very hard, but NOT impossible if you follow this advice.

oh please people! Nobody here, including you, got to level 117 without showing some perseverance at this game. There is no magic cheat code, but applying the tips together with the law of averages will work out in your favor eventually. Also, don't forget about the daily spinner wheel to get some free items to help you out.

There's a lot books out there that people spend hours of their lives reading and being taken away into a story. I love to read to but if I pick up a book I can't put it down. Then I feel like I've wasted many hours of my life, where I could have been more productive. I have a friend who does nothing but read books. She wastes so much of her life. So many people think that because a book was around before other media it is more respectful and not a waste of time because it's been the \"way \" for so long. They are book snobs \" Oh I'm reading a book.\" Like they think they are better. I don't know how reading a story makes you a better person unless it's informational. I like reading books better than movies because you imagine the places the way you like them. Then the movie sucks because it's not the way you imagined it. Candy crush is just a way to relax and try to figure out how to win, and that keeps your brain active. The good thing about candy crush is you run out of lives! So you have to get back to life! It's just another form of relaxation. And if it's so bad why are you here?

Reading a book is not a waste of time. Not ever.

So is playing any game. There's a lot of things in life that are a waste of time, going to the beach, reading a book, watching sports. We all like to relax in our own way.

It is possible to play the level if the condiments are left or right of the 3 centre columns.. But can only really be done in the 1st move, that being a move that will cause them to fall toward the centre, Anything after that is damn near impossible.. I played lev 117 again today, & finished, 1/ with 20 moves left over, & then 2/ with 23 moves left over.. Soooooo frustrating, it still would'nt give me more then 98,000 points.. This has got to be the worse level so far.. & I'm up to level 170, with 3 stars on all except levels, 117..139.. & 158.. A few extra good tips here though, i hope they help..

Hi..

cool totally helps

- only start the board when ingredients are in middle column - you cant reset board without losing a life, either on phone, pc or tablet - after 11th and 26th move a new ingredient comes, be ready for it and make sure you can crush some candy for it in the middle or ur screwed. -like most, this lvl is made to buy boosters, fuck that. Have patience and most of all luck and u will get it. took me 56 tries.

If you reset, you lost a life. Every time. That tip was wrong.

Playing this game is kind of wasting your time anyway.

You reset, you lose a life. Every time. So, this tip is useless.

come on yourself, what is the big deal of getting more lives?? And is it really cheating? if you buy more lives it's ok ... right? And by the way this is not some teenage text site, learn how to write proper English instead of your text junk. by the way, have you beat the level yet ?? :)

but what do you do when the ingredients start on the sides? it seems almost impossible to move them left or right. so many times have i got them to the bottom and unable to move them to the 3 center columns. and sometimes you have to move them twice! any advice on this would be much appreciated, thanks

Thats cheating plain & simple. A game is for fun & trying to beat it by cheating sure cant make you feel like you conquered something the honest way. I think this level should have more moves bc if u r unable to make striped candies it takes just about the 40 moves allowed to bring the ingredients out & once that is done you have to fight the chocolate & b4 u get thru that u r out of moves. However, I am determined to overcome it by playing the game to the best of my ability & I WILL CONQUER THIS LEVEL. Find something else to do while you wait for more lives. Sorry but I keep seeing that suggestion & I cant fathom the logic if any, behind CHEATING! I do use many suggestions others players post but not cheating. I love playing the game but come on.

i can get you out of any level for as littile as 1$ if u interested email me at khalil_h0@hotmail.com

I tried over and over and thanks to your tips and the comments I just beat it in one try with the top score among my friends. Thanks!

This level frustrated me to no end until I realized that I just had to focus on clearing only the middle section where the three exit portals for the fruits pass through. Even when I saw four or more candies stacked together (off to the sides) I had to resist the urge to bring them together because doing so would cause new and existing fruit to move to the side where they would be trapped. I tried to only focus on clearing the three portals to control chocolate flow, then tried to put a bomb in there to prevent chocolate from spreading. I finished the level within minutes once I realized this was the most viable strategy. Best of luck to everyone!

I agree Suze. The tips have helped me a lot. I just got to this level and knowing to keep the ingredients in the middle 3 columns is already a help.
