Break through the layer of meringues.

You only have 60 seconds, so if you want to beat this level you are going to need to break down the meringue so that they can flow over to the other side of the board. Once you are able to clear out the blockers, securing the 15,000 points should not be too much of an issue.

Activate the +5 seconds candies.

As with any timed level you are going to want to activate as many +5 second candies as you possibly can. With the added time, you should be able to net enough points to move on.

Form special candy combos.

When the blockers are removed and the board opens up to you the first thing you should be looking for is to make as many combos as you possibly can, such as a wrapped+wrapped, color bomb + wrapped, etc.. With only 60 seconds you will have to move fast to score all the needed points.

Candy Crush Level 177 Video

Level 177 is a Timed level, one of five level types in Candy Crush Saga. Your objective is to score 15,000 points in 60 seconds. In order to complete a Timed level, you have to reach a certain score in a certain amount of time. Its more difficult than it seems, since you don't really have time to think about the moves you're making.

How to Beat Timed Levels:

  • Some of the candies have +5's on them. Match these candies! They'll give you five extra seconds in the round, which could be the difference between winning and losing.
  • The timed levels can vary a lot in time, so watch out! Some of them can be as short as fifteen seconds.
  • Some timed levels still have blockers on them, so watch out for them.
  • If you've achieved the minimum score but still have time left, stop playing unless there are no blockers on the board. There's no point losing a level that you have already won.
  • Sugar crushes can be a huge advantage on these levels! Any special candies that you have formed, but that haven't been activated yet, will be activated by a sugar crush. This will get you a HUGE amount of points.

Bonus Tip: Speed Matching

AI

In timed levels, speed beats perfection. Quick matches anywhere beat slow perfect matches. Let cascades work for you while you scan for the next move.

It makes me upset that the time doesn't pause while all of the candy is cascading. I can't make a move while it's doing that and time is wasted. :(

Yes, that is true. And it is falling sooo slooowly indeed... Still you can match a lot of +5s, and also after time is up, all the special candies will explode and give you extra points, so it is wise to collect them instead of using them during the level.
