Candy Crush Saga Level 30 - Episode 3: Lemonade Lake

Tips & Strategies

Written by our expert Candy Crush players

Jelly first.

This tip is important for level 30 because you do not know which column your ingredients are going to fall down, and since this type of jelly only requires one hit to clear it, it is useful to get this out of your way first. Since it is harder to clear the jelly once the ingredients are lying on top of it, as there are less ways to clear it, start by making your moves at the bottom of the board. This will also allow the new falling candies from the top of your board to make new opportunities to create special candies and clear jellies without wasting additional moves. Once you have cleared all your jelly, you can make moves at the top of the board again as that is where a lot of special candy opportunities will be.

Make special candy combos or vertical striped candies.

The most important tip to know about ingredient levels in Candy Crush is that you can beat the level and bring all the fruit down to the bottom if you have only a few moves left. Candy Crush Level 30 will drop an ingredient even if you have not gotten the previous one to the bottom and a lot of the times they will build up towards the bottom during your last few moves. If this is the case, one strategy would be to focus on making special candy combos that will clear the entire board, and save this until all the ingredients are bunched together and will all fall to the bottom by activating that special candy combo. Some good special candy combos that would work well on Candy Crush level 30 would be a striped candy + a wrapped candy , a sprinkle candy + a sprinkle candy, a wrapped candy + a wrapped candy, or a sprinkle candy + a striped candy. Trying to bring them all to the bottom by clearing your board with special candies can be more useful than focusing on one ingredient at a time, especially with Candy Crush level 30, because a lot of the time when your fruit is close to the bottom, you can get stuck with one row left to eliminate it and no moves, so you end up wasting moves waiting for the next ingredient to drop from the top. You also always want to keep an eye out for vertical striped candy opportunities (meaning the stripes of the candy have to be facing up and down) that will clear the entire column your fruit is in and drop it to the bottom. The vertical striped candies are also a good way to clear your jellies.

Position your special candies and combos.

This tip is key to Candy Crush level 30 and all Candy Crush levels in general, because your special candies and special candy combos have to be in the right position in order to be useful. Always keep in mind when you are creating these special candy combos that it is all relative to the position they are in. For example, if you get a sprinkle candy + a striped candy combo, but you only have a few of the matching color of striped candy on the board, it is not going to clear very much space. If you get a wrapped candy + a striped candy, but it does not hit any of the rows and columns that will bring your fruits to the bottom, it will not be very helpful either. If you get a vertical striped candy, but the column it is going to eliminate does not have jelly or an ingredient in it, don't use it. Always remember to carefully examine your board and don't be tempted to activate your special candy combo without looking to see if it will do you any good. Chances are, if you save it for later, it will be more useful to you then. Every time you play any level of Candy Crush, it is somewhat going to depend on the board you are given. Every time you start a new turn with ingredient levels, you have to use your judgement about which special candy combos and the position of the ingredients and combos are going to be the most useful depending on your board. Candy Crush level 30 allows you to focus more on creating special candy combos since you don't have to worry about which column your fruit is moved to since all of the columns have the green arrows at the bottom, meaning any of them can bring your fruit to the bottom. Keep these cheats and tips in mind next time you play Candy Crush level 30 and you will be sure to beat it in no time!

Candy Crush Level 30 Video

Level 30 is an ingredients level, one of five level types in Candy Crush Saga. Your objective is to bring down all of the ingredients. 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

AI

Clear blockers in the drop path first. Vertical striped candies are your best friend - they punch through obstacles and push ingredients down fast.

When I Googled Candy Crush level 29, this site came up first so I went to it. I'm so glad I did! I was stuck on level 29 for 2 days and after reading your tips for it, I cleared it on the first try! I just started playing the game 4 days ago and I'm glad to have this page to help me out now! After reading your tips for level 30, I'm going to go give it another try! Thanks!!
Madelyn's avatar
I was stuck on 29 for way too long when I found these tips. After reading it I passed the next time I played. Thank God cause I was ready to quit. LOL. Its not fun when some of the levels are too challenging. It makes me want to quit, you dont want it to be too easy but you also don't want to get to the point where you're frustrated. That is not fun, and to me they are going to lose a lot of players as I already know a few people who have quit this game saying its too hard.
FedUp's avatar
I could only pass 29 after deleting the program, downloading it again, and playing all the way up to 29 again. This game is very random but I think it is also flawed.
Madelyn's avatar
By the way for those still stuck on 29 what I did was concentrate on the bottom and that worked for me, good luck.

Level 30 is one of the easiest levels, no one should be struggling on this one!
James Stahlnecker's avatar
When there is no algorithm, it can be "easy" or hard depending on chance.. for instance accidentaly throwing a toothpick into a shotglass
bobby womack's avatar
why don't u give some tips then
Eric White's avatar
I like challenging games, but when the it's computer generated, random results the player has no control over, it leave me to believe there is a problem with the game. I have tried way to long on level 30...the ingredients aren't showing up To go throw th whole level and only 2 cherries show up , something isn't right
James Stahlnecker's avatar
I agree sometimes all 60 moves not one cherry, or acorn drops
Patti Cooper's avatar
I absolutely agree!
AnnaBanana's avatar
HOW THE HELL DO I BEAT THIS DAMN LEVEL??????? HELP PLEASE!
B Bradley's avatar
patience my dear
vicky's avatar
just concentrate nd make special effect
Pixelspin's avatar
I just tried this for a few times today (I'm new to this game) and I beat it easily so I don't understand what the difficulty is about.
James Stahlnecker's avatar
I threw a quarter, it bounced off the dresser and into my change jar. Why cant you do that????
Janet Dalke's avatar
like several other people have said and it is happening to me on level 30. The ingredients don't come. you try every column and still no cherries or acorns (what ever they are). i was stuck on level 29 for weeks and one day i cleared it with 1 move left. just luck i guess. i am glad i found this site because these tips are being helpful. thanks guys.
Bridget Ament's avatar
I canNOT get off this level! I'm convinced you have to buy your way out!
bobby womack's avatar
I think so too
FedUp's avatar
I think that is the plan.
Kathy Strunk Rais's avatar
U do not have to buy your way out. I am stuck on it too but my daughter and friends are way past this one. My daughter is on 200 something and believe me she is way too cheap to pay anything. It is random so itdepends on what moves u make and how it falls. Since i really started taking my time to look for 4 and 5 in a row to get the srriped ones and other candy, i am doing much better. I was trying to go too fast and missing some good moves. Patience is the key i think. it is frustrating my daughter called it the devil when she found out i started playing. Lol

45 days playing often during the day on level 30. I hate it and get so frustrated my blood pressure goes up. Time to stop Candy Crush.
FedUp's avatar
Yes, it is not fun if it is not winable.
Superdog's avatar
I am also stuck at leve; 30.
Lyn Buttifant's avatar
I'm now at the stage where I don't give a damn!
Janet Dalke's avatar
how do you get the spinning wheel to appear to use it?
Janet Dalke's avatar
i have followed the tips for level 30. nothing has helped. i keep getting starting boards that dont help and i can not get the specials together. any other help offered.
FedUp's avatar
#30 forces you to use so many moves before the ingredients appear that you do not have enough moves left to get the ingredients to the bottom. It takes too long for the ingredients to appear.
