Tips & Strategies

Written by our expert Candy Crush players

Clear the meringue and jelly squares.

In order to beat this level, you will need to clear the entire bottom half of the board of the meringue and jelly squares. The meringue are multi-layered, meaning it may take a few combinations to clear the square entirely. Work from the top to bottom. When you are able to clear the top few rows of meringue, you will be able to create large combinations and special candies . Special candies will be very effective in clearing the remaining meringue and jelly that is left on the board.

Make combinations along the conveyor belt.

Candies at the top of the board will fall onto a conveyor belt. The conveyor belt separates the top candies from the meringue at the bottom. When candies fall onto the conveyor belt, they will continue to move to the right. This means that what candy you think is falling down to the bottom in one column, may end up in a different column. Wait until the conveyor belt stops to look for combinations that can be made. Looking around the board can help you avoid missing a great opportunity to clear multiple meringue and jelly square.s

Watch the candy bombs.

candy bomb s will come onto the board using the conveyor belt. The candy bombs that come onto the board have a time/move limit of 10. When you see a candy bomb, make sure you focus on clearing it within its time limit. The bombs will continue to tick down even when they are off the board, so bombs that enter from the left may only have 5 or 6 moves left. If any of the bombs come off of the conveyor belt, make sure you are aware of their location and clear them as quickly as possible. When they go onto the bottom of the board, it may be hard to clear them if you still have multiple meringue left.

Candy Crush Level 549 Video

Level 549 is a Jelly level, one of five level types in Candy Crush Saga. Your objective is to clear 36 jellies in 40 moves and get at least 100,000 points. 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: Bottom-Up Strategy

AI

Matches at the bottom create cascades that can set up combos above. Always scan the bottom third of the board first.

On 549, after many tries I got within 1 jelly of finishing. Had 10 moves left, 554460 points and a wrap/stripe combo ready to go right in line with the last jelly. The game froze. Six tries later I again got down to 1 jelly and 8 moves left. It froze again...unhappy!

Just happened to me too - cleared all the cells and now can't click a thing. Also see lots of tripples on the board which should clear. Bought extra lives to try and kick it in, but no luck, although it did take my money and add moves! Grrrrrrr

The game has also frozen on me too as I was just about to win. Three times!
Jennifer Armstrong's avatar
I love how your tips are the basic premise of the game, I am on level 549 i understand I have to eliminate the meringue etc, I thought you would have a tip on how to do it in the limited moves! Thanks for the video though, i can learn from that!

My game keeps freezing also. Tired of this.
Geertje's avatar
Reading all your comments I am scared to even try this. What a disappointment when you are so close and it freezes.
Mike Showalter's avatar
Game has been freezing up on me as well. It is very hard level to start with and when you finally get a good board and are almost there, the game freezes. I have even had 2 different color bomb combinations and it still does not clear the meringue enough to get close Need more moves or less meringue
