Candy Crush Saga Level 147 - Episode 11: Gingerbread Glade

Tips & Strategies

Written by our expert Candy Crush players

Clear center jelly.

First prevent the bombs from exploding. The center column that contains the hard jelly, blocks the bombs at the top from falling into the main part of the board. This makes it almost impossible to eliminate the bombs since it is unlikely you will be able to make a match with the bomb in the top row. Towards the end of your turn, if there is a bomb that has a higher number than you have turns, do not waste your time trying to destroy it anymore.It is easy to forget about that and you end up wasting moves trying to destroy a bomb that you don't need to.

Focus on middle and bottom of board.

Once you have cleared the middle column of hard jelly on level 147, you are going to want to focus on making your moves in the middle or bottom of the board. Cascading candies will help you eliminate the jelly near the top of the board without wasting any moves But you will need to start chipping away at the bottom if you expect to reach the corner pieces of jelly, which are almost always the last pieces of jelly left on the board.

Get corner jellies with special candies.

A wrapped candy + a striped candy combo will also do this trick, and in a better way, but you have to make sure that both of these candies are positioned next to each other very close to the bottom in order to hit the corners. The most important thing to remember about level 147 of Candy Crush is that running out of moves is almost always the reason this level is so impossible Since if you are stuck on this level you have probably learned to eliminate the bombs easily by now.

Candy Crush Level 147 Video

Level 147 is a Jelly level, one of five level types in Candy Crush Saga. Your objective is to clear all the jelly in 50 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: Double Jelly Layers

AI

Double-layer jelly requires two hits. Plan your special candies to sweep the same areas twice for maximum efficiency.

I tried to quit the level before I made any moves and it took one of my lives away. The statement made on this tip about being able to quit to get a new board without wasting a life is inaccurate.
Tahlea Honeysett's avatar
It actually is accurate. You could if unknowingly made a move or your settings could be different to everyone elses... But what they said is correct.
Chris's avatar
Thats not true. You can quit before you make any moves and you will not lose a life. I too have been on this level for a month. I am going crazy.
Moira Mel's avatar
This game is based on luck...I've been doing these tips for weeks...and all it gets me is more frustrated because I get within 1 or 2 jellies to smash when my lives run out...and whenever I add extra lives from friends a bomb goes off and makes it all for not, what a waste. I will continue, only because luck has to happen right? After the amount of attempts I've made on this bloody level
Linda Kortz Campbell's avatar
I have been on this level for about three weeks but I play every time I have a life either on my phone or the computer.. I am trying to do what you say... but with no luck.. is there any way of eliminating this level and moving on? do not waste time paying for extra moves... I have wasted so much on this when I thought I only had a couple moves left and it manages to screw it all up... so... wait for your luck... but mine is running out.....
Ajl7's avatar
I've been on level 147 for ages too. If you want to quicken your weeks down to days, change the time on your device by a couple hours. Just remember to move the time back once you have finished playing! As others and you say, you need luck....and time. At least you can find more time when you want it! Good luck
Eieiei's avatar
Yes, this is a hard level, that you won't make on the first try probably. But some more tries, and you should be done... Came to here yesterday, done today 280.00 points (three stars) :-)
Kim 'Dory' Young's avatar
I completed this level nearly 5 months ago for the first time. It said 'Candy Crush' etc, then took me back to an earlier level! Since then, I haven't been able to complete it again...
Jessica's avatar
This level is so aggravating I was so close yesterday on labor day I had 380 until I lost Man whoooo wheeeee it is aggravating but I wil keep trying

My best tip is to concentrate on breaking the clear candies on each side of the grid. You will eventually break all of the others in your course of play, and you will get more color bombs to use. Don't forget to check at the top after each move to look for bombs. You can break many of them before they descend into the main grid if you can spot them in time.
ssmom99's avatar
You just have to be patient and keep playing. After a while think it must be programmed to give you a lucky game and let you move on. All the advice is good...play smart, but realize the game is smarter than you. And don't waste your money on any extras...it's not necessary...I made it to this level without spending a penny or getting lives from anyone else.
Barry Lee Sheppard's avatar
i hate this level
Janet Hooper's avatar
I'm sick of this level. i been stuck on it for 4 months. can score very high on points, that is all.. sick of this game!
MikeW_Vegas's avatar
This level is killing me.. I've been stuck on it for almost two months now. I've noticed that on the PC the bombs have 15 turns before they explode.. but on my iPad and iPhone they only have 10 moves before they explode. this makes the level even MORE difficult to win.
Lisa Castiglia's avatar
Nope, this is the level where they require payment to move on. Been on it a month now and currently looking for another game to play. Not paying one freaking cent!
Sandy Hope's avatar
Try Logic Games app... it looks like a little gear. It's free and has HUNDREDS of different games in it... I've been stuck on this stupid level for 2 months.. deleting candy crush now. lol
Caitlin's avatar
It's free on the Facebook app on the computer.
Chris Durst's avatar
This level is NOT beatable without buying and or using boosters and is designed that way. Regardless of what anybody says, you need boosters to complete this level. Been stuck on this level for over 1500 games and haven't been close to finishing it.
Jericka's avatar
you can go to your settings and click on time and date then change the month one month then go beck to candy crush and youll have more lives....just make sure you go back and change the month back to the current month
Zanetta Ziggy Davis's avatar
Been stuck for 3 months and I even watched the YouTube video on how to beat it...this level is worse than level 65!
Charlotte Lancaster Godbyr's avatar
I have been on this level for sometime now.Watched the Video's read all the hint's.Get real will you.Whats up ? The bag has to shuffle every other move because there is no moves.special candies my ass.Someone really is giving a line of crap on this one !
Dale Carter's avatar
In other words, this game is rigged! I'm sick of it. CC Saga makes $650,000 per day n this game!
leslie malino's avatar
The developer just takes your money and boots you. Don't do it!!!
Valerie Ruhrold's avatar
I've been on this level for 4 weeks, have tried using extra moves, doesn't work. It's to the point it's not fun anymore, just pure frustration and that really isn't the reason to play a game.
Beef curtains's avatar
Persevere, persevere and persevere. Don't forget the whole idea of the game is to make the company money.
Maria's avatar
follow the tips...they help, make as many striped candies as you can and combine 2 together if you can, and of course the colored bombs help too to clear the board. I've gotten to levels that when I am very close to clearing it and need just one or two more jellies, buying an enhancement such as extra moves or the hammer seem to make it possible, so maybe certain levels are rigged that way, some are def. harder than others! good luck
mike's avatar
my wife beat it without too much trouble I have been on it 2 weeks without much success got within 1 once
kim's avatar
This level is bull ihave had all kins of good moves and candies also three of those disco balls in a row no luck I've been stuck on this level month and half am getting very frustrated already tried what you say nothing half of my games are spent in the stupid corner
Mark V Larrimore's avatar
It can be done. It literally took me two months but I did do it without boosters. Its all a game of luck.
patti's avatar
I've been on this level for at least 2000 games. Unbelievable that they would keep you here that long. I refuse to pay a cent so I am looking for other games that are not on Facebook. Can't believe I've stuck it out this long, how dumb is that!
usman's avatar
I am also stuck on this level for about 10 days. Several attempts made but never finish this level.
usman's avatar
hahahahahaha yes completed this level hurrrrrahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
shonda's avatar
I've Been On ThIs Level For Months. I'm Frustrated Like The Rest Of You. I Had The Game Clothes UN The Middle Of What I Thought Was A Good Game. So I Don't Know What To Do. Most Of My Friends Are Completing The Game And Passing. I've Even Bought Candies And Still Not Pass. It's AlmostLike They Want Me To Keep Buying. I Don't, Just Frustrated.
Catherine Shroyer's avatar
Weeks??? I have been on this level for months! Several times I have gotten down to 1 jelly so I used my gold bars for the 3 extra moves, knowing I could make a move and win.....what did it do??? took my gold bars and then shuffled the board before I could make my move. I am so sick of this. I quit Bubble Witch for the same reason. This was the game I enjoyed most on facebook and couldn't hardly wait the thirty minutes to get my five lives back to play some more. Now I hate it!!!!
marellyn's avatar
This game obviously is the cheat itself. Some bombs are stuck at the top no matter what you do. Some run out really quick. And if you get a super bomb on the bottom with a wrapped candy and a striped candy, it doesn't explode across--only up and down. Getting boring.
Christina's avatar
All these tips are things I already know.. still can't pass this frikken level.. I refuse to pay to get boosters.. HELP, going crazy in Washington state!
Pamela Henein's avatar
It's not fun, entertaining or anything else when it's rigged against you. One more week I will give it, if I can't pass the level then it will be deleted and I won't be back!
Heather's avatar
I have been stuck on this level for months (and even quit playing for about 2 months). I started up again and came here to complain that the PC only gives me 40 moves (when my phone and kindle give me 50). And then I just won the very next game! And that was with the 40 PC moves! Argh.... luck will prevail eventually. If you can stand the wait.
Sayan's avatar
one or two jelly to clear shouldn't make you frustrated. You can use a daily booster spinner, and if you happen to get lollipop hammer, the worst booster you get, and this is free btw, you can clear 3 jelly you want.
DarrellSF's avatar
I've been on this level for almost 3 months. I've gotten all but one square 10 times or more. I've also gotten all but one square with 10 or 15 turns left, but the candies never line up to get that last square before those turns run out. It's obviously rigged to make me buy boosters, but the game is FREE. It means I should be able to win--FREE! I got a tooth fairy once back around level 65 after about two weeks, but not with 3 months on this level. Total bunk!
TJ's avatar
I've been on this level for weeks too! Totally lost interest in this game! NO more buying lives or anything else on this "game"? Money Sucker! Not fun anymore!
Catherine Clem Segars's avatar
It took me several days and several dozen tries, but I finally passed this level. I have to say that the "cheats" really didn't help. Most of the time, there was only a couple of moves available. And more often than not, there was only 1 move available. That doesn't allow for much strategy to come into play. I simply took the lowest move or the move that cleared the thickest jelly. Not exactly rocket science. I have never played a level where the board had to reconfigure so many times because there were no combinations possible. Some games would reconfigure over a half dozen times. Most games I came no where near to clearing the board by the end of 50 moves. But then suddenly, in one game all the special candies aligned and I cleared the board with 12 moves to spare. That tells me that passing this level is not about skill or strategy, it is about LUCK. I would say that winning this level is 5% strategy and 95% chance. I prefer the games where I have lots of choices to make, where I can get close but must play strategically to win. With so few options available throughout level 147, strategy isn't much of a factor. I simply took the only move available, or the lowest, and waited for lightening to strike. I will say that I did "roll" this game on my ipad to get a more advantageous starting board. (I don't think that you can do that on a computer.) I only committed to games where the initial drop cleared multiple jellies and left at least 2 possibilities low on the board, preferably with a stripe possibility or combinations near the frosted (multi-layered) jellies. Other than that, I took the obvious choice and waited for the stars to align.
Andrea's avatar
Agree with everything you said. Purely a luck based game, very little strategy involved and thus, very boring.
Susie Childs's avatar
I GIVE UP!
Richard Wilson's avatar
Game constantly reshuffles won't let you make special candies. I put a color bomb I had to use on the first move then game reshuffles..this is ceased to be fun anymore.
MWL's avatar
After reading this thread I won the very next game I played. It is clearly a difficult level, I had to be lucky, had none of those dotted candies, whatever you call them. It probably only took me 30 tries and yes there is logic like all the games. If you spend any money for more lives etc you only prove PT Barnum was right, there is a sucker born every day.
emma's avatar
This level is crazy.you need to hit almost every jelly 5 times including the marmalade and the jelly itself in 50 moves.wow.
Gustavo Martínez's avatar
I DID IT!!! It is possible, without paying or cheating, though after a long way. My hints, if they are useful, added to the hints given above: - Discard every initial configuration that you feel is not useful. This will save you unuseful moves. - Try to make a combination "stripped candy-wrapped candy" one line before the bottom horizontal line. This will clean the bottom jellies and the bottom corner jellies, the most difficult. - Then try to make a combination "color bomb-stripped candy" but before exploding it, try to make on the board as many candies of the same color of the stripped candies as you can, this will maximize the amount of stripped candies created by the explosion, and will clean a lot of jelly. I hope this will give you some hope for passing this level, don't give up, good luck!!

Oh please, share your strategy, I really don't want to spend the rest of my Candy Crush life on level 147..Any advice,tips, strategy you'd be willing to share would be Most appreciated!
Zils's avatar
It took me a week or so to beat this level and I didn't use boosters or payment. Just be patient. Eventually you get a winnable board. Most bombs get eliminated themselves when you work from the bottom and they drop down. And pay attention if you have less moves than bomb countdowns, then you no longer need to pay attention to them. Going for as many stripes as possible helps a lot.
bob degae's avatar
Try to match a sprinkle candy with a striped candy. Once you do this you can maximize the damage by trying to increase the number of candies on the board that have the same color as the striped. I,e, if you have a striped red paired with a sprinkle candy and there are only four red candies on the board, try to make matches elsewhere on the board so that more red drop into the puzzle increasing your number of red and causing more damage. That said, luck is required

My wife just finish the 147th level after 3 weeks without paying anything. Its just by sheer luck and nothing else.
