Tips & Strategies

Written by our expert Candy Crush players

Unfreeze the coconut wheels.

Unfreeze the coconut wheel on the right-hand side first. Combine it with a striped candy (horizontal is idea) to get a whole row of stripes and knock out blockers. Ideally, position the wheel so it will affect rows 2, 3 and 4. Unfreeze the coconut wheel on the left-hand side next and let it fall to the lowest row on the board. Try to match it with a striped striped candy.

Make striped candies.

Vertical striped candies are going to be your biggest asset here--they will do damage in both quadrants of the game. Also, combining a wrapped+striped candy can help you eliminate some of the tornados--making the game a little less unruly and unpredictable.

Know your board rules.

Next A new perspective and new dimensions can be very helpful! If you've been stuck on this level for a long time, try flipping your phone into portrait mode and playing from that perspective. You don't have to clear all the meringue --just enough to let the ingredients through. Don't waste valuable moves trying to clear an entire row of multi-layered meringue .

Candy Crush Level 417 Video

Level 417 is an ingredients level, one of five level types in Candy Crush Saga. Your objective is to drop the three ingredients, clear the meringues and get the minimum number of points. 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.

So, been stuck on 417 for a week. Those cyclones eat opportunities! If you aim at getting the ingredients down to the bottom of the left side, does this make it possible to complete the level faster? I've watched videos.. but just can't seem to get more than 1.

So when one thinks there is nothing as horrid as level 350 along comes 417. KING doesn't even give the gamer a board that is not as cyclone loaded. This board is horrid. I have only been able to get one ingredient down
Lesley's avatar
So why is it that the bombs can say 10 or 15 but when they get to 1 or 2 they count down to 0 faster than before? I timed it. It just isn't right.
Dolphinlady695's avatar
My bombs always start at 6!!!!! On my first try over 3 weeks ago I only had one nut left and was one from the bottom then a tornado hit that block & I had one move left but no boosters. This level is impossible without boosters. I give up :-(
Wendy's avatar
I hate this level. I am going to give it a few more days. If I can't get through this level then I am done with Candy Crush. This level is just idiotic.
Jeffrey Haynes's avatar
Video shows 6 tornado's, my game has 3. Twice as much damage as my 3. Not fair.
Diana Baskin's avatar
I am about to give up on this one. I am not enjoying it because it is more luck then skills. Those things keep taking my moves away. Then the bombs. Was trying to see if there is a way to get rid of the little things.
Jo's avatar
I thought level 415 was frustrating beyond belief but this takes the biscuit.I'm only surprised that they haven't put chocolate on this level just to really hack us off. Some idiot at King has a very warped sense of humour. I'm just about losing the will to live with this game.

Shhhh ... don't give them IDEAS :(
JayOpinion's avatar
This level may be my undoing and the end of my adventure with Candy Crush. I have actually watched candy not move the way I directed it a couple of times. What's up with that? I have come close a couple of times but bombs stop me once they move over to the far right. Couple more days and I am done. Hope the company doesn't mind losing the income.

"Unfreeze the coconut wheel on the right-hand side first." Ha, such great advice but how???? Stupid!
Carmen's avatar
That's right there's no way to unfreeze the right side first. Somehow that board looks different then mine! It has 6 spinners and 2 coconuts
Norman Morris's avatar
You people are real A holes for making this 417 a real POS.
harry's avatar
If the whirley things are on a row that you hit with a stripped candy they disappear but it doesn't help becausebof the flipping bombs ....... really testing my patience no skill involved just luck
Mark Heron's avatar
Nothing works, want this level banned
Adeniyi Scopeman Bello's avatar
This should be among the hardest level in candy crush, Kings is becoming crazy with dis game setup. I made it only through color bomb and strip color combo at the first move.

When spinning the daily wheel and you land on fish, where they?? Have landed 2-3 times and don't see them.
Bonnie's avatar
You use fishes on jelly levels. They will appear when you get to one of those levels.
