Tips & Strategies
Written by our expert Candy Crush players
Clear frosted jelly first.
Since the frosted jelly only needs one hit to be cleared, you need to clear the center jelly with as few moves as possible. A good way to do this is to use vertical striped candies which will clear an entire column of frosted jelly in one move, also allowing cascading jellies to fall into the empty column. Cascading jellies will automatically match and eliminate even more jelly from the same move. Make sure you carefully look at the board in between each move to see which regular 3 candy match is going to hit the most pieces at once. This is a very important tip for this level of Candy Crush because you are going to need to save as many moves as your can in order to clear the side blocks - the most difficult part about level 181. When clearing the frosted jelly, it is important to remember that you do not need to clear it all. It will benefit you to leave the bottom row filled with jelly since if you get a horizontal striped special candy at the very bottom, it will not hit any of the side jelly. By leaving the bottom row filled with frosted jelly, it can act as a platform if this type of special candy falls to the bottom. It will save you more moves for clearing the side jelly.
Know how to clear the side blocks.
The best special candy combo to use on this level is a wrapped candy + a striped candy combo. Make sure it is in the optimal position before you activate it. A sprinkle candy + a striped candy can also help you on this level, but make sure there are many of the same colored candies you have on the board that are the same color as the striped candy. Horizontal special candies are obviously needed in order to clear the side blocks on level 181, but there are not enough moves for these to be effective on their own. A wrapped candy + a wrapped candy is not going to help you at all. A sprinkle candy + a sprinkle candy (which is helpful on almost any Candy Crush level!) will not be of much help either, since that combo only eliminates every candy on the board, but will not be effective on the blocks unless there is a candy touching it.
Form a color bomb plus striped combo.
A color bomb alone is great, but a color bomb + striped candy combo is amazing in Candy Crush level 181. The effect from the combo will stretch across the entire level. This combination will not only damage the outside columns, but it will also potentially drop your ingredients in one swift move. Go To ?

Level 181 is an ingredients level, one of five level types in Candy Crush Saga. Your objective is to bring down to cherries and get 20,000 points in 50 moves. The level type first appears in level 11 and has now made over 150 appearances. In order to complete an ingredients level, a player must bring down the shown amount of ingredients to the bottom of the board. There two types of ingredients are cherries an hazelnuts. For every one collected, a player will receive 10,000 points.
How to Beat Ingredients Levels:
- Wrapped candies will do fairly well for ingredients as well. These special candies will crush a large cluster of candies. Therefore, the wrapped candy should be used close to or directly below an ingredient.
- Color bombs can also made a big impact in ingredient levels. For example, you can use one to remove a candy immediately blocking your ingredient or you can combine it with a striped candy to pretty much guarantee your ingredient's exit.
- Striped candies are your best friends in ingredients levels. The reason behind this is that when they are activated, they will clear out an entire row(horizontal) or column(vertical) on the board. However, since vertically striped candies clear an entire column, they are far and away the best weapon in this level type. Always try to ensure that vertically striped candies and your ingredients are in the same column. When they are, the vertically striped candy will clear drop the ingredient in one swift and efficient move. For better results, align multiple candies in the same column.
- As you progress further into the game, you will see your ingredients path to the bottom more and more obstructed by various blockers. To combat this, especially at the bottom, make sure to shift your ingredient to the a clear row or column.
Bonus Tip: Ingredient Drop Path
AIClear blockers in the drop path first. Vertical striped candies are your best friend - they punch through obstacles and push ingredients down fast.

Donna Sutton•
I need someone to tell me how to beat level 180 pleaae
Kat•
The key is to combine striped candy with bomb candy as close to the bottom as you can.
Rica Jones•
I had everything all set up and then an unexpected cascade screwed it up. SIGH!
Linda Lane•
same here. it is thier way of not letting us win
Susan McMillin•
In the example up above there is purple candies?! I don't have purple candies on level 181. Maybe that's why I've been stuck for weeks?!!
Katie Unander•
mine has purple candies...I was on another level that did not match the Tips page once, and all I could do was to keep playing it until I finally beat it.
Frances Dimond•
181 is ridiculous....been there for over a month.....stupid me....
Tish Jolley•
181 it the hardest level I have ever been on they dont give you enough moves to beat this level. I just about ready to give up on candy crush and find me a new game,, I been on the level for months, its stupid,
Sue•
It feels impossible!!!
DAC•
I agree but I can't find any good games!
Elincor•
Someone I know who has been on level 340 for a long time is starting to feel despondent!
Linda Lane•
I too have been stuck on this level. wish they would ease up
Pamela Kohutek Hawkins•
I feel the same way
2lassie3•
I agree. I beleve that I am quitting.
Eieiei•
There had been definitely harder levels then this one. You just need to play it a couple of times until you should finish it off with a fair result. The above tips are very helpful and should be followed.
Of course not every board will allow to finish, that would be too simple. But combinations of striped and wrapped candy are really helpful, even though it is sometimes hard to get these next to each other in the right row.
Andrew•
Cheats Translation: It's all luck.
DAC•
Really? Really? I hope you're right.
Chris L. Johnson•
Actually...if you can get two wrapped candies on either the left or right edge, the giant explosion is enough the hit the blocks...but it throws it out of 'sync' with the other side.
truexnalvr•
I've done this and ... nothing! I've done every combination -- and every suggestion and still ... nothing. I think I am going to have to give up Candy Crush .... :-(
carole•
this level is so hard and have read and re-read and still to not understand. do not get which ones vertical or horzontal knock out the side with the cherries.
DAC•
I feel ya'. I still don't understand it either. I'm not sure it even is understandable. I'm so over King's little tricks, like forced bad sprinkle ball moves (because there ARE no other possible moves), repeated re-shuffles...I mean back-to-back. It's not a fair fight. It's hideous, yet I can't break away from Candy Crack. I'm just gonna sit here, all catatonic, playing on "cruise control" and just hope to hell for Divine Intervention.
Fozi Az•
if i pass this Level .. i'm gonna make a video for me dancing naked with scarves and upload it on the web ... if ... if ... if i pass this hard as hell level ..
OMG .. it's been a month :( :( :(
Candy Crush Cheats•
Don't worry Fozi, you'll get there! But when you do, you may want to keep that celebration video private haha.
Keith•
did you get passes level 181. Missed the video. :)
Kat Landes•
How did you pass it Fozi? It has been a couple months off and on cause I get so frustrated.
Ashish•
after trying so many times in a week finally i cleared this level
Candy Crush Cheats•
That's awesome. Congrats!
Melissa Danielle•
I paid for extra moves to finally get the first cherry to drop, and then the second cherry never appeared!! It says to get 2 cherries to win, but how is that possible if the second cherry isn't even in the game?! I spent over $10 to finally beat the level and I got screwed over! I don't mind spending a few bucks here and there to pass a level, but this is just unacceptable. Unless you can make this right, I am DONE with Candy Crush! Very disappointed....
Tasha Blevins Crawford•
i thought the same thing but the second cherry is on the otherr side of the screen, there r u cherries!!
indypack•
This level sucks! I can't even get close even with all different strategies.
Priyanka E•
This level is impossible.. tried everything wasted so many lives, i feel games are for fun but this level is just spoiling the fun... so i have to find some other fun game n give up on candy crush..
Conan776•
I gave up on this and went and crushed candies in Dreamworld all week. Gave it another go this afternoon and got the cherries to the bottom on the 2nd try. It can be done!
Katie Unander•
what finally did the trick?
Debbie•
181 is driving me totally crazy! Been struggling on it for weeks and I'm on the verge of deleting the game! However I'm not a quitter so I'll just walk away for awhile and try a new game.
pandoraknopp•
Why so much conflicting information....One person says " ignore wrapped canids, as they are not much good to help" another says " wrapped candies are the key to this level"
No wonder we get confused!
Katie Unander•
A wrapped candy plus a striped candy gives you one giant candy that will wipe out 3 of the 4 target rows at once. if you can do that 4 times on the same 3 rows it will take out all 4 layers of those jellys. But that is impossible to do as the game sabotages all of your efforts to beat it!!!! AARGH !!!!!!......hope that helps..
mrgreen•
kiss my ass level 181
Sam•
I have been trying to win this level for so long it is getting boring. In order to win you need to clear the side blocks which need to be hit a total of ten times on each side.
Claudia Bontrager•
try 15 times on each side
Sam•
I should have made my post below sooner. I just won this level. I am so happy, :)
Ayesha Iftikhar•
lucky you............ :(
Richard Wilson•
A hundred games and haven't got it yet. This sucks!
Marcia Pariser•
This is a nighmare of a level. Been at it for 2 weeks seems an impossibility
Brenda Mathis•
This level 181 is making me nuts. I get so close, and just before I can win, I run out of moves. This level sucks!!!!
Brandie Gibbons•
this is by far the most frustrating level. I have been stuck here for over a month, if i don't have any luck by the end of March i am giving up playing Candy Crush. You are suppose to enjoy it not get frustrated with it, it's just way to hard to do
Jørn E. Svanem•
eat my shorts
Patsy Williams Russell•
I just can not win this one 181, I have tryed every thing, about ready to give up on this .
Lorica Marlin•
im with u forsure has been kije 6months offn on i hate the game n play the owl in other world lol
MazzaJay•
You're right. Level 181 is impossible. Just not enough moves to even get started. it gets boring when success is not an option.
MessyMaddie2•
My friend beat it the first time he played 181. I however have been on it for over two months. I mean really, it's not like they are giving away millions of dollars when you win the level, so why do they want to make it so hard to get. It's all set up anyway, because I notice that when it gets close to letting you win you start getting a lot of big moves in the few games before the win, lol.
Poppi•
I have been on this level for two weeks now. At first it was fun. Now it is boring. I really do not know if I will keep playing. :(
Gina Carelli Straine•
I've been on it over a month and I don't even come close! I have many boosters from the spin the wheel, but I can't seem to access them. What's the point of the wheel if we can't use what we win??
MazzaJay•
I have to confess that, after posting for the first time here yesterday, today I just managed to beat this level. The trick for me was to make as many horizontal striped candies as possible and use them when they are in the right place. At the start, I was trying to save them to combine them with stripes or wraps, but to use them straight away seemed to work better. And is it just me, or are the coloured balls totally useless in this levels?!
PaulF2•
I have an even better strategy than this walkthrough. Just play the game ten thousand times until pure luck beats it for you. I call it the "give enough monkeys enough typewriters approach." Because that's the only way to beat this level without just buying your way through it with bonuses.
Julie•
181 is very hard, but unlike other levels it is sooo boring, i find myself playing it less and less, which is a shame as I've enjoyed Candy Crush for months now.
Adrienne Denise•
I agree. It is boring and the fact that I can't pass it gives me less incentive to play. Hard to believe I may be losing interest in Candy Crush.....
Julie•
How come you can only use ONE of the bonus spins??
Julie•
Ive done it, dont know how, but i have!!
Katie Unander•
I don't thing it wants me to win..it sabotages all my attempts. SIGH. It is not even a fun level to be stuck on like levels 111 or 138 or 68 in Dreamworld where I got 801,600 points. And that was on my second try. That game was fun. Please King Guru, let me pass this level!
Linda Lane•
I agree. just when I get the right combination lined up, they blow it up
BLT•
Frankly I'm sick of trying to pass this level cause I think it is impossible. Especially since the weather is nice now and I would rather be out sweating working in my yard than screwing with 181. If anyone has any secrets other then what this sights tells you, please share.
Cheryl Davis•
totally agree with comments i am stuck on 181 also and my husband as well. i saw few hints to use stripes and wrapped side by side which helped to remove side blocks , but run out of moves before i can remove all and win level. i fwd hints i found to friend and she got through it in like a day. but says doesnt remember what she did wasnt paying attention , she amazed herself .. dont buy it lol,. but no more hints to her from me lol
Cheryl Davis•
and we been stuck for a month
Ann Bright Jenson•
I finally got this one. Just concentrate on stripes plus wrapped or stripes plus stripes. I don't know how many times I missed passing the level by one move. Finally, it worked and I had three moves left.
rookgaroo•
It took a zillion tries and I finally wound up with a striped candy that would clear the last licorice but no way to activate it with one move left. Then I remembered I had a lollipop hammer from the free spin wheel! Woo-Hoo!
Just keep trying for striped/wrapped combos and setting them up in the right place. There's not enough moves to beat it any other way.
BowieGirlForever•
I was on this level for 4 days consistently and I then read all of these comments and just KNEW I was NEVER going to beat this level. I just woke up and of course I thought ....let me go ahead and lose this level once again. With sleep still in my eyes,I noticed I had only 2 clear jellies at the bottom of each column and I remembered I had 2 lollipop candies .I hit those two clear F-ers and started my happy dance. For the love of God....this level was too hard and I almost gave up on CCS FOREVER!!! All I can say is keep playing.You'll beat it when you least expect to.
RS•
Stupid fucking game, make it fun at least, same level for 5 months now........I know its gotta be challenging, but not cheats work, never get any stripped or coated candy...............not work playing, way better games to play than this dumb impossible game!!!!!!!!!!!
Patty Penland•
I hate level 181.....i do like a challenge but hate impossible! I play often and had 140 lives banked and still nothing ! Not to mention all the other lives that u get in time! DISGUSTED!
Chris•
How do you 'bank' lives? I have not seen a way to saves lives that people give me. If I don't use them at that level they disappear.
Maureen Edmonds•
Enough!!! Been on this level for what seems like months- my fellow Facebook friend just sailed past, no problem! So what am I doing wrong, have read all hints more than once, but just can't get a high score, let alone getting the cherries down. This isn't fun anymore, and that is what a game should be. Come on king games- fair go!!!
Sue Moore•
Getting on my tits blow up when you don't want it its a cheat
Guillermo Coelho Bergandi•
Can
you people do me a favor? please fix this stupid level 181, ridiculous,
i have many color bombs, that no do anything, when the color bomb is on
the board, impossible to get the candy stripe to do a combination
Ross Semmens•
I know what is required to finish level 181. But after 12 months of trying, I know now the candy doesn't. I am going insane, no matter how much planning, the candy just does it's own thing. I Truly think this level should be abandoned. Because there is no way of getting it out until the candy falls in precisely the one in a million sequence. I think I will win tatts before I get this level out. Sorry for all those who have fluked it in the past.
Rob Mason•
The first time through, I thought 181 was impossible. Now I've finished 590 real world and am stuck on 276 in Dreamworld. Just came back and played 181 again. Got it on the first try, 3 stars, with 4 moves left. Amazing what fighting bigger disasters later on does for your game. It IS possible. Have fun!!
betty•
How manY
obstacles are on the sides to break through
Johnny Valz•
Very aggravating. Im hitting those blocks with everything imaginable. Horizontal candies, color bombs/striped candies, wrapped candies/striped candies ... but the blocks need to be hit SO many times that I can't get them all gone.
Leah•
I am currently at level 360 and I have yet to see a level as hard as this one. Good luck to all of you. :)
Marcelo Aguilar•
The game is everything one defrauds. It is a program of casino. You do not have any chance of winning. The machine decides who and when it should happen but the majority loses all the time. Because they gain silver while you play. Make what you makes was not winning until it has not played them sufficiently. Accommodate the candies since you want. Equal lose. I have it studied well since it works.
There is no way of winning. Only when the program decides. They continue betting and studying, they were not winning. It is the real one defrauds.Mathematically you do not have any chance. It needs to accommodate the candies. But there are candies that go down and up. They do not serve. When you tries to accommodate them, one falls of above that you dont see and finish with `your plans. In fifty movements this calculated that you cannot win. Only the program has a "bonus" that goes out like "special" 1 in 1.000 or 500: not important. You paid with time in machine. They gain the money.
Kathy Burpee•
I've been on this level for about 6 months now. I think they just want to you spend money buying more moves!
Andy•
I've loved playing Candy Crush these past few months, but level 181 seems virtually impossible to beat. I no longer enjoy the game. Too bad. Why would the makers of this game invent a level that drives its audience away? It's effing stupid on their part.
