Candy Crush Level 518 Video

Level 518 is a Jelly level, one of five level types in Candy Crush Saga. Your objective is to clear all the jelly and score 50,000 points in 30 moves. In order to complete a Jelly level, you must remove all of the jelly on the board. You remove jelly from the board by making a match with a piece of candy on top of the jelly. In the higher levels, you can sometimes get stuck on double jelly levels. On those you have to make two matches on top of a square of jelly in order to clear it from the board! We've got all the tips to beat jelly levels you need here at candy crush cheats!

How To Beat Jelly Levels:

  • Your only objective in jelly levels is to clear the jelly. That means you should only be worried about making matches on top of the jelly, and not other parts of the board.
  • If you can't make a match on top of the jelly, try using jelly fish! Jelly fish act like normal candies in that you match them with other candies of the same color. But when you make a match with a jelly fish, its will activate and swim off the screen. Then three new jelly fish will swim on screen and eat three jelly squares. For double jelly squares, this will count as one match. If jelly is stuck under a blocker that isn't licorice, the jelly fish will still eat the jelly from under the blocker.
  • Jelly squares at the top of the board and at the corners can be tricky, since these are the hardest spot to match candies. Watch out for these, and try to clear the board first.
  • When you clear all the jelly from the level, you will get a sugar crush. This will give you a ton of points.

Bonus Tip: Corner Jelly Strategy

AI

Corners are hardest to reach. Focus on creating striped candies near corners early, before you run low on moves.

Telling us we need to clear the bombs is not a tip for HOW to clear the bombs. Thanks for nothing.

One more move and I could have won the level :-( sorry King not paying to play. Will keep trying and if still at it in a few days will quit.

color bomb+ striped candy combo is the only key to this level..... and lots of luck at the beginning, but if you can make a little room (vertically) within 5-10 steps you will have the chance making both with small horizontal corrective moves, just observe how the candys slide each time. Don't stick to just one thing (neither bombs, nor X's) or you'll run out of moves very fast.
