Tips & Strategies

  • 1

    Reset your board for good moves

    I like to start off this level with mystery egg matches or other special candies right away. If you don't see any moves that will let you do that, I recommend you reset the board before you've made your first move. This won't cost you any lives and is very easy to do. Simply exit the level and reopen it from the levels map. You will get an entirely new layout!

    Match mystery eggs first

    I like to start with the mystery eggs, since if you get lucky with the special candies, you can easily complete some of your orders. It will also go towards helping you remove the meringue quickly. So either way it gives you a jump start on completing your orders. Of course, there is a risk you could get chocolate, but I'm willing to take that chance.

    Prioritize striped + wrapped

    The hardest order to complete seems to be the Striped + Wrapped combo, so if you are able to, you should prioritize that order. If you have the choice to make a striped + wrapped or another combo, I would recommend making the striped + wrapped first.

Ok, glad to see I'm not the only one. Twice, in two separate tries I have had a wrapped and a striped combo and no check mark resulted. So bloody annoying...this level is hard enough as it is...or are we missing something? Do you push one towards the other in some special order???

You're right, thats true. BUT! On this board theres only ONE order you need twice & thats the (stripe + stripe). Im getting credit for those. But its NOT giving me credit for the other two orders. (Wrapped + stripe & Bomb + stripe). Ive filled it sometimes 5x on ONE game...and NOTHING! I even started making sure to only use HORIZONTAL striped candies ONLY...and still...NOTHING. Starting to wonder if they HAVE to be blue striped balls ONLY AND in a specific order thats not spoken. This is CRAZY! Im SOOO frustrated! & worse!? YOU posted this 6 MONTHS ago...so if people are STILL having this same issue, today, & they ARE obviously. Then I have very little hope for this to be fixed OR me to get past it. :/

How do u beat this? What's the trick? It doesn't check off what I got. I beat the board. Times already

It's the clear wrapped one. Not the one that has the line in it.

i am not getting the credit for filling the orders ...the disco ball and the striped candy in one game i got it twice and it did not give me the credit

I am getting the correct orders on the board on level 257 but I'm not getting the credit for them. Very frustrating! Does it matter what shaped striped candy is matched with the other orders or do they have to all be the round type? Also when you get a correct combo it more often than not sets off other combinations. It's annoying that you don't get credit for them all when you are getting what is needed. Is there any way to prevent the whole lot from going off at once?

I am having the same problem with not getting credit for completed orders. Rather discouraging.

This stupid game does not give you credit!!! Fix it Candy Crush! It's not just about getting 1 or 2, I had two times wrapped and striped and it did not register it.

I had two times the right order and it did not credit me.

I have gotten the right combos but not getting credit for them. Guess I can't play if it's impossible

Some are two orders and does not get the check mark unless you fulfill both

It doesn't give you the order unless you make the move. If the move just happens because of another move it doesn't count which is crazy!
Tonya Wall Brooks's avatar
Why does it NOT give you the order if you use the special candies provided? I'm not getting credit for filling the orders! Is it a glitch?
