Tips & Strategies

Written by our expert Candy Crush players

Use the multi-layered meringues to your advantage.

In Level 169, there are a lot of chocolate fountains and luckily, trying ot make combinations to fulfill the orders will keep chocolate from taking over your board but use those meringue s in the beginning to your advantage! The meringues will keep the chocolate fountains from activating so try to form as many special candy combinations within the more-narrowed board while there are still meringues to clear!

(Mostly) ignore the chocolate!.

Unlike a jelly level, having a chocolate on your board in an order level isn't as big a deal. They won't prevent you from fulfilling the minimum objectives. Rather than fixating on clearing the chocolate, instead, focus on making special candies . The chocolates will clear on their own and having a few on your board isn't a big deal for level 169!

Combos make combos.

Next Remember: the more combinations you form, the easier it'll be to form more combinations. Don't be afraid to use striped candies! Sometimes, it's an inevitability that you'll need to use a striped candy . Don't worry--these are easy to make and replace. Don't spend too much time building moves around striped candies.

Level 169 is a Candy Order level, one of five level types in Candy Crush Saga. Your objective is to fulfill three different orders, 1 striped+striped candy combination, 1 striped+wrapped candy combination, 1 striped+color bomb candy combination in 35 moves. In order to complete a Candy Order level, you will need to crush a certain number of specific candy colors or types. Some early Candy Crush order levels just ask you to collect colored candies. Others will require you to get types of special candies later in the game. You'll have to approach Candy Crush order levels very differently from other stages of the game! Use these all-purpose tips for Candy Crush order levels to dominate them and score truckloads of points.

Candy Crush Order Levels Tips

  • If you need to collect special candies, focus on forming them right away. Don't bother making any special candies that don't fill your orders. If you need to make wrapped bombs, don't waste turns by making striped candies.
  • Making special candy combinations can be incredibly hard. Try to make special candies next to one another so you don't have to move them together. Plan your moves ahead so you don't accidentally set one off before making the combo.
  • Be careful when using special candies to fill colored candy orders. It sounds like a good idea to use a color bomb to get lots of candies you need. But this will make it harder to collect more of those candies if your order is still not filled.
  • Use color bombs on candies you don't need to get rid of them. Then you will have more opportunities to make big combos with candies you do need, since they'll take up more room on the board.

Bonus Tip: Order Collection

AI

Don't just match randomly - look for where your target candies cluster. Color bombs are incredibly valuable for finishing orders quickly.

I have been stuck on 169 for literally months!!!! This page was NO help at all !!! Thinking about removing the CC app :(

you've just had really bad luck. you'll get past it. the trick I use only works on mobile app. if you enter the level and you can see it's a bad one, then just close out of it. you won't lose a life.

Danzer, We don't need the likes of you on this forum! I passed this level after 12 attempts. As long as you are quick and mathematical thinking it should be easy.

Thank you/ thank you, thank you!

I believe this level requires payment, I will stop and not play anymore, I have never been on a more hopeless level, thanks for nothing, this is supposed to be not easy but friendly game, sorry I'm not some guru, I actually have other things to do, FYI I have actually spent money before to advance, no more over it !!

The tip for ignoring the chocolates was amazing! I got through in the first try after I read it. And I was stuck on this level for more than one week. Thank you very much!

I've tried ignoring the chocolates and all I get is way more chocolate and no room for any specials. Wish that worked for me!

Thanks for help. Got it on first try after reading tips.

My hair is falling out playing this game. My friends say it is because I am on chemo - I say it is because of the frustration in not spending money to get that extra shot or booster!

After 100 attempts I finally Collected all orders but in the end got no star. Asked me to pay .99 for more moves. I'm done with Candy Crush.
Maureen Edmonds's avatar
•
ENOUGH, 169 is just TOOOO hard. Getting the wrapped candy only happens too near the end of moves thus impossible to match. AND then! You still have nowhere near the number of points needed!!! And yes, have read the tips etc. and while I'm whinging, the boosters on the wheel seem to be stuck on fishes which are no help. Games should be fun, this is no longer fun!
Gianina Bogdan's avatar
•
Samantha, your advise to make combinations without breaking ice is worthless, because you don t have space enough to combine anything, and this level is not so hard...definately not harder then 92, for instance, just break enough ice to have space, then focus on combinations.

This level sucks! You might get two things you need but after that you are f_cked

I am in Level 215 and I am playing Mystery Quest Level 169 for the past four days. Not able to cross the quest. Even if we make the 3 orders, score of 60,000 is not reaching. Low scores for every moves. I think King company is wanted doing this to make us pay money to purchase lives and instant access. Started hating this game

For the first time ever I'm contemplating quitting this game. It's not even enjoyable. I've had other tough levels but I always fought thru as I like a challenge but this level is just dumb. I've come close twice but noticed even if id gotten it I was nowhere near the points required .. and btw I've never paid a penny to advance nor will I.
lori's avatar
•
I agree, I've managed to get the orders a number of times, but it is impossible to get 60,000 points! you would need a number of chocolate balls and stripe mixes to do it. I don't see any way possible to beat this.

•
theres no reason to spend money.. UNLESS you want too. im only stuck on this for a few weeks as well, i have friends who have completed the game without buying any. its like getting a bad board in bingo. eventually youll get passed it.. no need to cry over it
jenn's avatar
•
This level is BULLSHIT. I get my candies lined up and the game smashes them so of course I dont get credit for them....THEY DONT COUNT. And forget about ignoring the chocolate bc that is a joke. And what really sucks is since the last level I cant even log onto the game using facebook so I cant spin the wheel either. No doubt deliberately done by King so im forced to buy shit......THATS NOT HAPPENING. I'LL DELETE CANDY CRUSH FIRST!

At this level, very difficult makung pair. I believe, they realky want you to make the payment which I keep getting the pop up
BARBARA's avatar

Twice I got the combos but never get the 45000.00 6 weeks of this is enough.give us a break!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NC_Tom's avatar
•
I think you have to pay to get beyond this level. Twice I got the 3 combinations but did NOT get the needed points. I was sick of this level so I paid the extortion fee, ( IMHO), to get to level 170.

Anybody who remains stuck on a level for months has problems that go way beyond this game. Anybody who then pays to get past this level should seek therapy. It took me four tries after I followed these tips. There's a heavy dose of luck required. You need to be very skillful to beat this level, but if the candies don't fall your way, it ain't gonna happen. IMO, paying to continue playing is like cheating at Solitaire. I just don't see the point.
Richard Hamilton's avatar
•
It can be beaten. My strategy was to get rid of the meringues to give me more options then concentrate on getting points. Also to always be on the lookout to create wrapped candies. No money, Facebook help or boosters.
David's avatar
•
I thought this was really difficult, after struggling for a week.....until I got combos needed four times and failed to get anywhere near the ALSO required 45,000 points. Give up now or spend real money

I finally got through 168 and found that my extra times were reduced to 3 from 32. What happened to that??
mitchellvii's avatar
•
Lol, I just have to laugh at their sample board. I have done this level over 50 times and it is NEVER that easy. So often you'l get 2/3rds there with a ton of moves left and then the board never gives you a chance to nail the last one.
Miguelitomama's avatar

This level is boring, tedious and difficult. I could stand the difficulty if it wasn't for for time spent matching candies and waiting for the chance to develop the color combos. I might walk away. God knows my time could be better spent elsewhere.

I detest this level. I stopped playing.

I just started this level. . Insane... I do love a challenge but this is ridiculous. I'm going to just spend a week or more collecting items from the daily booster wheel. I've done this before with other difficult levels and got through. They are free.

•
The level has changed. The chocolate fountains are gone. It's just plain, nasty chocolate now on the outside. however, this won't make the level so much better. It still has too few moves, and getting some of the required combinations remains a thing of random only.

The level changed: the chocolate fountains are gone, it's just plain, pesky chocolate now. Seems to be much easier now, as I passed after just playing a couple of times...

Hi guys I'm stuck on this level too. Is so frustrating. BUT I have another problem. When I spin the daily booster wheel it keeps telling me it can contact the server and to restart the app. I have done that. turned off my ipad for 4 hours. reconnected to WIFI and it still does't work. Any suggestions?

Hate this level, will delete CC once again....
Dave Norris's avatar

Be sure to spin the wheel every day to get a free striped candy or color bomb or hand switch or lollipop. At times I've used those to get out of a level. At present I'm dealing with the torment of Level 169!

I'm stuck on this level, of course, or I wouldn't be here and for a while. I hope I see a "Good Fairy" soon.

I got through this level within 3 lives. The trick is to clear the meringues as fast as possible so you have a larger board to make more combos. Don't save your combos in the beginning. Use them to clear the board.
