While I agree that the level is pure luck I got it in a Relitively short time (under a week of playing 2 or 3 times a day) and without buying anything or using any special items from spins. Only tip I can give is keep restarting the game u til you get a wrapped candy either before you make a move or can get one on your first move. 4 times I got all the striped + wrapped I needed AND kept the bombs from blowing up only to fall short on the blue candies...5th time was the charm. Oh and for the record I HATE the levels that are pure luck and no strategy...not fun! This level was nowhere near as the level I was stuck on for 3 months!

That's what I'm going to do. It looks like I'm taking at least a month off & spinning the wheel every day. :)

It's totally ridiculous. 10 bombs is no where near enough and to say they take care of themselves is ridiculous. Its pure luck no strategy ! Its pay to play to continue to next level which I refuse to do so Au Revoir !!

I just.left a rant 20 minutes ago and it didnt seem seem to post. I went on about how many babies just whine and complain that this level is too hard, that this game is bs, and its designed to suck your wallet dry. I gave them a ton of crap about maybe if they stopped complaining, focused and had some patience, maybe they would beat the level. Then I went to play the level. And you know what? I WAS RIGHT! I beat it immediately by following the tips here. There's no magic, just keep the tips in the back of your head and focus a little. Im not some amazing gamer, I just remembered to not concentrate TOO much on the bombs. And yes, there was a lot of luck, but I still thought just ONE move ahead each time in the end, esp. It can be done. Don't complain, just beat the game. Hey, that's catchy. Gonna remember that one.... Good luck all.

What a bunch of whiney babies. 1. This game is ALWAYS about luck. It's just more apparent here. 2. It's a game designed to make money. This is NOT news. It's a business! (Watch South Park's \"Freemium isn't free\" episode. Brilliant.) 3. Do not buy boosters. I get a free one every day, so that gripe goesnout the window. 4. Set your phone's clock ahead like other posters recommend. Endless lives. 5. Why would you - after 424 lvls - delete now? QUITTERS! THE GAME BEAT YOU! 6. Just settle in, have some patience, and remember, rage complaining ain't fun, and hinders progress. 7. If you dont want to get stung little froggie, don't offer to carry the scorpian across the pond. Good luck.

A possible solution: Sign onto Candy Crush Via Facebook and take a daily spin to accumulate boosters- that way you don't have to empty your bank account. I have NEVER paid for booster or extra lives, and I have over 900 saved extra lives via facebook.

I have just finished this level. The trick is to get rid of the tornadoes first and then work the level like any other level. I had 7 shots left when I was done.

WOW. I made it on the second try. Perhaps I would have made it on the first try but didn't notice the bombs there unless it becomes 4 moves left. I was hoping to spend weeks on this level since I have read the bad comments about this even on previous levels. First I was amazed, but then realized, after seeing the tips here, that King has made it easier now. It would have been a hell if the tornadoes won't wipe out from stripes and wrapped. That's the key to make this level a walk in the park. Next the 5 wrapped+striped order now have become 3. But I don't think this helped a lot. Because I made 4 wrapped+striped and could have made another one easily. Instead I focused on making color bombs to collect the blues.

Finished in 2 days!!!! Guess.. reading others comments made me strong!! lol...

Finally finished this level after about a week. It is pure luck! Keeping up with the bombs was the hardest part for me. Sometimes those darned tornados actually helped clear a bomb with only 1 move left! Good luck!

Sweet...thanks for that!

King changed the level after soo many people quit. last year you couldn't wipe out the tornadoes and you needed 5 combos. Now its just 3 combos. It was nearly impossible to get past it

I totally agree with your comments and I don't understand all the negative criticism of this game. If you are so bored or frustrated, don't play, and if you don't want to spend anything, you don't have to. I have spent a few dollars, but it was to get to the next set of games as my friends were too slow in giving me a ticket. Mr King runs a business folks.

Hey everyone .... it's been a long time ago since i finished this HARD AS HELL level ... let me tell one thing ... this level is nothing ... if you wanna delete it ... then do it ... cuz you'll drown in the mouth of the devil after this level i'm on level 763 ... and i'm telling you .... THIS LEVEL IS NOTHING!

I passed 425 easy, I cannot pass 432,, I can't even get close, grr..

This is a tough level. I stopped playing for 6 months as too hard but my gf was catching up so I gave it another go. First, expect to need 200 odd goes at cracking it. It's a luck slog. Second, you can quit if 2+ bombs get down to 4 in first phase of bomb madness. Don't waste your time (as if that was not what you were doing anyway). If you can't make significant inroads into the meringue/grey in first 7 moves quit - good decks clear the meringues almost by themselves - bang bang. .Once you have space use specials to kill the bombs and tornados. A good deck will do this by itself as long as you go for a low switch at bomb level. After that, use choco bombs to take out one colour - this enables you to get the combos you need. At this stage the card becomes peaceful - no near as stressy as at the start. Just keep on with the specials, reduced colours with choco bomb and you will do the 200 blues easy. Summary: i) Merengues for space, ii) kill bombs with specials iii) reduce colours iv) get combos, v) Cruise the blues. Don't get frustrated - it's a luck deck level.

I finial clear it after they change the score from 5 to 3 and 230 to 200. I have not and will not pay one cent to play their game. I found it best the beat the levels late at night That how all my hard levels were clear

I have been on this level for a while can you tell me pls why when I play on my I phone the target is 5 and 230 and my I pad is 3 and 200.

Wow. After reading the tip to work the combos, and deal with the bombs secondarily, I cleared this level on the fourth try. I had been trying to clear the meringue to get to the bottom row, but that strategy is a loser.

I made it through this level in a day, playing on a computer with no resets to get a better screen. Sprinkles (color bombs) and striped combos worked best for me. They often clear the tornadoes along with lots of blue candies. 425 levels to date and no money spent.
