Tips & Strategies

Written by our expert Candy Crush players

Begin by Clearing Out the Meringue.

There is a wall of meringue that is blocking you from a cake wheel and +5 candies that you need to destroy. Not only is the meringue blocking some extra time candies, but it also takes up half the board. You also want to clear it because it is on the bottom half of the board and impedes you from making cascading matches.

Clear Bombs and +5's.

Once the meringue is mostly eliminated, you will be able to add on time with the +5 candies. There will also be candy bomb s falling so you want to match them not only because they can end your level, but it will also get you an extra 3,000 points. These powerful combinations should not be extraordinarily difficult to conceive with the 40 move limit, just don't get overconfident and you should not lose a heart on level 403.

Clear Cake Wheel.

You need to completely clear the cake wheel in order to beat this level. It will clear the whole board once eliminated, and get you extra points. Once there is plenty of space, it is easier to make special candy combinations. Also remember that Sugar Crush still takes place once time runs out so don't get too upset if you don't quite make the 100,000 point threshold.

Candy Crush Level 403 Video

Level 403 is a Timed level, one of five level types in Candy Crush Saga. Your objective is to get 100,000 points in just 90 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.
