Clear the cake bombs, quickly.
In this level, there are four cakes (or pies)--It means you will need every move to matter in order to get past these blockers. The striped candy in the marmalade won't help but striped candies will! Keep forming them--don't get fancy when it comes to clearing the cakes. Not every cake needs to be cleared , you just want to aim for opening up the board for more moves. If you can align two striped candies together in the right position, you'll be able to also help fulfill the order of this level.
Make color bombs.
In order to fulfill the orders for this level, you're going to need to make color bomb s to make striped candies. Why? Instead of activating the color bomb above with the striped candy, hold off and try to clear all the red candies instead. In order to increase the chance of forming more striped candies and moving them next to each other, you should try and eliminate the number of colors there are on the board. The best way to do this is to set off a color bomb--you don't even need to combine it with another special candy!
Handle striped candies with care.
As you make your matches, remember to be extra careful around striped candies. You're going to want to try and not accidentally set them off before you have a chance to combine them with another

Candy Crush Level 421 Video
Level 421 is a Candy Order level, one of five level types in Candy Crush Saga. Your objective is to get 7 striped+striped combos and at least 200,000 points in 50 moves. In order to complete a Candy Order level, you will need to crush a certain number of specific candy colors or types. Some early Candy Crush order levels just ask you to collect colored candies. Others will require you to get types of special candies later in the game. You'll have to approach Candy Crush order levels very differently from other stages of the game! Use these all-purpose tips for Candy Crush order levels to dominate them and score truckloads of points.
Candy Crush Order Levels Tips
- If you need to collect special candies, focus on forming them right away. Don't bother making any special candies that don't fill your orders. If you need to make wrapped bombs, don't waste turns by making striped candies.
- Making special candy combinations can be incredibly hard. Try to make special candies next to one another so you don't have to move them together. Plan your moves ahead so you don't accidentally set one off before making the combo.
- Be careful when using special candies to fill colored candy orders. It sounds like a good idea to use a color bomb to get lots of candies you need. But this will make it harder to collect more of those candies if your order is still not filled.
- Use color bombs on candies you don't need to get rid of them. Then you will have more opportunities to make big combos with candies you do need, since they'll take up more room on the board.

Karen•
I have given up on Candy Crush now I have been stuck on this level for months, doesnt matter how many hints or tips you write none of them work, I used to enjoy playing this game but enough is enough !!!!!!
Michael•
I'm with you Karen. It also doesn't give striped candies when you get four in a row at times. I haven't even come close to solving this. It has become boring now. At least other difficult levels tease us by letting us almost get it out but this one is unreasonable.
Bärbel Koenen•
Same here. Thousands of attempts - enough is enough
Guest•
I agree with you Karen. I have played for over a year now and even the hard levels are achievable. But this one is insane. It isn't hard - it's just impossible. There are way too many things going on. You concentrate on getting rid of the cakes and use up all your moves. You can make stripes, but they set themselves off or the tornando hits them or the plunger destroys them before you have a chance to swap them. I'm so done with this game. This is the end. Enough is enough and it has become boring to me. It used to be a challenge that I had to conquer, but when it is impossible there is no challenge. BYE BYE Candy Crush!
nishywill•
We're on the same boat my dear
Mohammed Elzein•
Just passed the level after I found out its much easier on the computer,
the required is get only 5 striped+striped, not 7 like on the mobile.
CME•
level 421 on the iPad is a joke. I completed 4 striped candy combos and it only credit me for 3. that stinks. There is obviously some glitches in the programming of this level. I also saw two candies switch with each other, right before my very eyes (I promise I did not move them).
No! It is not FUN at all. But I must admit, I made it this far with never spending one cent! Thanks for the ride Candy Crush..........
Time to go back to Lep's World!
Hussein_In_The_Whitehouse•
I like breasts
Flower Seed•
I'm done with this crabb i think they knew u can't pass it so we have to pay for more lifes
Jenny•
u sound like me lol I get so po'd but hang in there u'll do it. It's all in the board u gotta get the right set up. On androids and iphones u can "back out" before 1st move if u don't like the starting candy set up.
Lynn Christian•
This is by far the worse level yet!! I have tried 50 to 60 times already...I really think it is all luck unless you spend money. They really blew it with this level!
Pearl Watkins•
I had to resort to this page, I did not know it was here, Let see if i can beat this level
Jenny•
did u get by it? I have been stuck to on diff lvls before some even for weeks. But once I read up on tip I usually get by it within a few tries not always though. Seems like there is always one really hard lvl outta every 10 lvls.
Ron Schulz•
Agreed! Even when the correct moves are made you can have combos removed by forces out of your control. This level should not have a swirling dervish picking off striped candies.
henmun•
ik stop met Candy crush ben al maanden bezig om dit level uit te spelen. hoeveel geluk moet je hebben? heel erg jammer
Koz•
Nice job...soooo lucky tho...seems like the CC Gods wanted you to win LoL :)
Liam Mannion•
Got it after 10 or so go's.Thought it wasn't possible after reading here.Looked to get at least 2 before clearing the dials.Then was just lucky at getting 3 colours with an adjacent colour next to the stripes whereas the other go's the stripe would always appear a few lines distant to the other ones.
Michelle•
I've also decided to quit. This level is impossible. The tornado eats the striped candy right before I get a combo almost every game. It's not fun anymore when you know you don't even have a chance.
Larry Rouse•
I agree about the whirling dervish. I was about to make a striped combo and it came out of nowhere to blow up one of the stripes and caused a cascade which eliminated the other stripe. This level is difficult enough without that added nuisance. I can usually be persistent and eventually beat a level but this one looks impossible.
jagar810•
They have taken the fun out of CC, the moment one forms a striped candy the dervish eats it up. It's intentionally stacked so you will entertain buying gold to prolong session. The best I have done is clear 5.
Jenny•
keep tyrin u'll do it. My advice and I do this a lot is to hit the "back" button or on iphone go into the tab on bottom and hit quit as long as u do it BEFORE ur FIRST move u can and board will reset.
Lisanne Valente•
I did it!!!!!! Been stuck at this level for 3 months! You need a multi colour to start with and two lollipops. You have to get rid of at least one pie, go for them, not the candy stripes, this "confuses" the tornado. Use your multicolour and another one will come. Good luck.
Jenny•
3 months! damn! been stuck for 6 weeks but finally got by it a few weeks ago
becca0557•
This will work ONLY if you get the right board. And I'm tired of looking for that "right" board. Time to end my addiction and get on with living in the real world again....
Daniel Mcginm•
I found getting rid of the tornado is the key, Even if it means losing a stripey. The tornado only goes away for a couple of moves when you blow it off the game field, But it helps to set up the game field. Good luck I managed to do it in about 50 OR SO with no boosters other than 1 Lolly hammer that Iwon on the wheel.
Jenny•
OMG this lvl was VERY hard I did finally get by it though.
Carol Lee•
Is stopped playing CC because of this level. Ive lost count on the times i tried. I am waiting for CC developer to tweak this level and make it easier for everyone, they've lost my loyalty to the game.

Alice•
I have tried level 421 at least 100 times and can't get it. The idiot creators of it lot control and somehow believe the people will spend their lives trying to get past it. I am done. I saw the other day how millions play it but I know for a fact that more people have stopped playing because they made it too hard. Games are supposed to be fun. They want you to spend money on this, what a joke. They literally still your moves from you. I am done.
Jenny•
keep trying u'll get by it

chris•
I have given up now!! Been on this for ever. Whoever designed this level hasn't done CC any favours. Not fun at all!
chris•
I decided to give this level one more try after weeks of trying. I did it by using jelly hands which I had accumulated off the wheel. I wish I had thought of it before!!! It made it easier to match the striped candies without using moves. I hated this level. A post earlier helped that you dont need to clear all cakes before matching.
Candy Crush Cheats•
Congrats on your win Chris!
ryanrae15•
What are jelly hands??
celle•
Time to quit..this level is so ridiculous...
Candy Crush Cheats•
Don't give up yet Celle! Where are you having trouble!?
nancy•
The game is no longer fun, but annoying because of these ridiculously hard levels. I am quiting! I want FUN games not STRESSFUL games.
Candy Crush Cheats•
Don't give up Nancy, just keep at it. Remember, it's only a game!
Bonnsa•
I am seriously disappointed with this level. Hundreds of attempts later and still no closer. I used to enjoy this game like others below but there is no fun in this level at all. Please tweak this level?
Candy Crush Cheats•
We are not involved with the developers of the game. Just don't give up yet. Keep trying!
Bob Cullinane•
I'VE HAD IT - TOO MUCH TIME WASTED!
Candy Crush Cheats•
Don't give up Bob. Keep at it!
JasmynMoon•
It is possible to beat this level with no boosters or extra moves. It's just brutal. I've never been so happy to beat a level. I had almost given up, but my husband started teasing me (he's stuck on level 120 or something, so he keeps waiting for me to give up.) I finally got the one board that is possible .
Candy Crush Cheats•
Congrats on your win!
Lisa•
I have been pretty patient, but after weeks and weeks of this level, someone was right when they said it became more frustrating than relaxing. I like a good challenge, but this one is too ridiculous. Every time I get down to 1, every time without fail, that whirly eats any of the stripes I make. And I really don't mind buying stuff every so often. Too bad. Thank you for a fun 420 levels. Time to find a more relaxing game
Laura Whetstine•
Agree with you 1000% for all the reasons you stated. What really makes me made is this level the game is ricked to cheat, I mean it's out and out cheating. I'm sure everyone knows what I'm talking about not just plunging the board when pies are still full but you have a bunch of stripes made, but the lines of candy just drop and delete colors you need even though you didn't move any piece in that line, or the tornadoes popping and blocking things, stripes pop without touching or moving them, I've watched my colors come down and oops they disappear so other colors come down I could also use and they disappear but none on either side that I don't need disappear. hmmmm Nope I won't support cheating so I'm done.
Robin Brown•
This level is rigged! I've been stuck for months! Im fixing to delete this game! The candy bonus wheel is rigged too there has been several times i should have got the jackpot and it made an abrupt stop on the item before. You guys should be ashamed of yourselves being greedy for money and rigging levels!
Jh root•
Whom ever the person(s) that came up with level 421 has a very large ego and really doesn't care much for the people that help pay his/her wages. Anyone of us who have gotten this far and probably spent a few bucks along the way, has some Idea how to get to the level. I realize king doesn't care if I dump candy crush, there will be others to take my place. This has left a bitter taste for me.
Anneke Ray•
The most annoying level yet. I will have to stop playing. It is too frustrating and not fun anymore.
Mae West•
I have been stuck here for several months.. I think its a set up to spend money... Every time I get down to 1 combo left.. I have no more moves.. Any other time I don't even get close.. This board will make you stop playing the game all together
Kim•
I used to LOVE candy crush till this level. Tried for months before concluding it is impossible. I quit several months ago. This level took the fun out of it. I hate that too. I miss it. :-(
jax•
It's rigged & I don't say that lightly. I line 2 striped candies up together then it makes a move & sets them off. Every time I set up a move, it takes over & makes another move. I have in the past thought other levels were hard, but I have to say this has just defeated me. I am not normally one to give up but this is just ridiculous.
maya•
So true! Candy crush now officially sucks!! :/
Jonathan•
Dont give up I was there on it for about 2 to 3 days and I got it passed used a couple of lollipops to bring the stripe down to meet the other a couple of times and used a hand to switch one combo..be careful how you blow your stripes if you can avoid blowing up surrounding ones..only other thing I can think of is clear the pies the sooner the better from my experience
digger5•
I just completed 421. It takes a good deal of luck, but there are a couple of strategic things you can do to help. Clear the four large squares before you start trying to get the seven combinations. If you can get a colored candy and take out one of the colors, do it. Other than that, just try to get as many striped candies as you can. Vertical moves are much easier than horizontal.
David Moore•
candy crush has been deleted. this level is ONLY luck and is ridiculous
kaymad•
This is one of the worst levels. It's rather boring for one thing. I've been stuck for a month and haven't even come close to filling the order. I was just playing it now and even though I had twenty moves to go, I had yet to mix any candy and just gave up without finishing.
Nancy R•
Wow. I thought it was only me getting bored and wanting to give up. I find myself playing less everyday. Hopefully they will adjust this level so people can move up. I gotten up to 4 stripes then the tornado comes and you are out of turns. I made it this far without spending any money or buying anything and I won't so I'm ready to give up. Bye Candy Crush.
ryanrae15•
Who the hell who could ever beat this level?!?! I have been on this one forever!!!! Come on guys this isn't even fun anymore!!! Think I'm done with candy crush!
Jake Keith•
Lucky Candy. Lucky candy is the answer (or at least it was for me)... I had several hundred attempts at this level under my belt and just beat it when I decided to give it another go after some time off. I must have had 10 lucky candy drop during the attempt and I finished my 7th combo with a few moves to spare. Phew!
Bjorn•
I just managed level 421 after what feels like a hundred attempts, with 15 spare moves. you just don't know what the next games brings...

Stuart Bower•
Please don't think I'm gloating but I finally did it. It took me a few weeks but never gave up. I needed a couple of lollipops to do it though. If you think this level is ridiculous just wait till you get to 425 this is devilish too
Carolyn Cosenza•
I totally agree with all the comments. I've played this level hundreds of times on both pc and IPad. What can you buy to help you through this level besides extra moves and extra lives? I'm about to give up on CC for good. It shouldn't be this hard it takes all the fun out of it

The in game on the board cheating continues on Candy Crush. I HAD 2 MOVES LEFT ON LEVEL 421 AND MY STRIPED CANDIES WERE LINED UP TO BE ACTIVATED BY ME AND THE CYCLONE SET THEM OFF
Koji Sato•
I was having a lot of trouble with this level. Here is what got me close, and after a while of the same strategy got me through.
1 - The cakes can be helpful. Try to get 1 or 2 mixes with the given marma coated stripes. At the same time, you are inherently damaging the cakes a bit. Take 1 out, and you should still have 40 some odd moves left, and hopefully be down to 5 mixes to go (If you don't have this, then you might just want to quit.)
2 - Sometimes the cake explosion will leave you with a good set up, if it does, try to get another mix.. if not, proceed to destroy another cake. (In my case, I managed to get another 2 mixes before destroying the third cake, but it can be really painful to lose your stripes if you inadvertently destroy a cake).
3 - Be greedy, it can be tempting to just mix the stripes, but not at the expense of losing a good set up. I pushed it a few times to line up another strip mix. It's a gamble, but honestly, you need to gamble on this level.
4 - If you have jelly hands and lollies this can help you line up the last 1 or 2 mixes. Other bonuses, up to you.. lucky would be my pick on this level, if you have some to burn... I didn't have any :(
Good luck!
Ruth•
This level is frustrating! Mathematically I can't see how I can win unless I have more moves...beyond 50. I love this game and a challenge, but when I stay on one level for so long, it just gets boring!
wrwerwrwr•
install the program "cheatengine" on the pc and hack the facebook version of CC. They deserve this just for this level only. It's a pity to stop playing CC because this level is insane. wash away with cheatengine and then return to the game fair.
GF•
BYE BYE CANDY CRUSH!!!!
Kirsten•
I've had it with this level. I'm a smart strategic person, but this level is unfair. Every time I get down to one last striped candy combo for the win, the tornado shifts and takes it away from me. I've been trying for weeks and I think I am over it. Bummer. Gotta find a new game.
