Candy Crush Saga Level 65 - Episode 5: Minty Meadow

Tips & Strategies

Written by our expert Candy Crush players

Chocolate first.

Your first goal in level 65 should be to eliminate all the chocolate . Once the chocolate covers the jelly it is just an extra layer you must break off. But if you clear all the chocolate it will stop re-generating. Chocolate will only multiply when you make a move that does not touch or clear any chocolate. If you make every move touch the chocolate, it will be gone in no time. Now you can focus on breaking the licorice xs (see tip 2), and clearing all the jellies with special candy combos (see tip 3).

Licorice X's.

You must break the licorice Xs in order to free the candy trapped inside that square. The best way to clear the licorice X's (especially on Candy Crush level 65 due to how they are placed) is to create striped candies. Make sure when you swipe your striped candy , it is positioned in an effective way. The striped candy should be in the same line as the licorice boxes when activated. Wrapped candies will also destroy the licorice X's, although the striped candies are easier to make and can hit more than one X with one move. Save these special candies to clear the licorice boxes, because otherwise it is very difficult to match 3 candies simply by shifting candies and hoping they fall into a match.

Special candy combos.

After you cleared the chocolate and licorice, don't focus on clearing the jelly with regular matches. Focus solely on creating special candy combos. Special candy combos will eliminate more jelly than any other move. The best special candies to use in level 65 are a striped candy + a wrapped candy , a sprinkle candy + a sprinkle candy, or a striped candy + a sprinkle candy.

Candy Crush Level 65 Video

Level 65 is a Jelly level, one of five level types in Candy Crush Saga. Your objective is to clear all of the jelly using only 50 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: Double Jelly Layers

AI

Double-layer jelly requires two hits. Plan your special candies to sweep the same areas twice for maximum efficiency.

Hey thanks for telling is to do things that anyone who has played for more than 20 minutes Already does. Your tips are literally the only basic way to play this game and are of absolutely no help to anyone
Neats's avatar
Been on level 65 for three wks. Cleared all jellies except one four times! I enjoy the rush playing at this level gives. No need for cheating tips bc it's not whether or not you lose, but how you play the game! If at first you don't succeed, try, try again! LoL
JR's avatar
No shit to the obvious.
Greg's avatar
Cleared 1st time after reading this guide, clear all chocolate bits first, then look for power combos to kill jelly. Candy bomb and striped work well and wrapped candy/stripe is good
Linton Conrathe's avatar
That took a while.Clear chocolate.Try and get 2 sprinkles next to each other.Fire away.Done.
Sasha's avatar
This nightmare took me 2 weeks, last night I passed it with the third life.-no boosters. My tips are: right when it starts don't click anything, take a good look at the entire screen and available combinations first. The chocolate won't multiply until your first move. Focus on getting rid of the chocolate immediately. Once they're gone, you can take your time figuring your next moves peacefully with lots of thought. Once I cleared the chocolate, I had 32 moves available to work with without the pressure. Hope this helps-
Jau-Ling Chou's avatar
HELP! I passed three times already but still can't move on to the next level. Do I have to pay to unlock? It asked me to either ask my friends or pay to unlock.
Sasha's avatar
BTW, I play on my ipad to forward the time 3 hours in "settings" when I run out of lives to be able to keep playing a consistent 5 lives each time . I'm in year 2016 right now- You can return your device to real time afterwards, but you will have to forward to the future again when you return to the game.
Melissa's avatar
The trick with switching the time on your iPad is to go to settings, when ur out of lives, set the automatic time switch off (which u already have) go a day ahead of where your at, get out of settings, go and open candy crush and u will see ur 5 lives, don't play just yet - go back into settings first (after you've opened candy crush and see your 5 lives) then go and go back to set automatic time switch on. Go back into candy crush and play. Then when u deplete your lives, do the process over. The key is to set the time (I usually just do 1 day ahead), and then OPEN candy crush, see that your lives are there, close candy crush, go back and switch the set time automatically to ON, and then open Candy crush and use your lives. This has been working for me perfectly forever - however I'm still stuck at this freakin level despite getting the lives - hope that helps. I use to do it the same way as you until I read about this trick so you can keep your calander at the correct date and still keep playing.

Excellent tanx. Stuck here for ages
Sari Takanashi's avatar
who fucking created this game? Like c'mon 2 months I am tired of trying -_- BASTARD
Shawnee Hodgson's avatar
I did 65 , 66 , 67 in one shot but now I am stuck on 68 for thee days now. I almost got it the first try but I did not see the one JELLY in the corner waiting for me. Dam Dam Dam!. So I am on 68 for now. also I was stuck on 38 I think it was 38 for a good week. I would get up in the middle of the night game in hand and just start playing. I had to take a brake for about two weeks and I paid the .99 cents to keep going but I refuse to buy any bombs, Really $39.00 BUCKS really. also heard some kid on the news had kept playing with Mom and Dads money and rank up about $1200.00 That gets a REALLY!
Vincent's avatar
I hate corner jellies!
Shawnee Hodgson's avatar
Sometimes when I get stuck on a page I try to play a little different from the game before hand. sometimes it works!
Shawnee Hodgson's avatar
KNEEKNEE got it right this is a WICKED GAME I'm telling you. A little competition can go a long way. Wicked I'm Telling Ya! Wicked I'm Telling Ya! Wicked I'm Telling Ya! Wicked I'm Telling Ya! FUNNY on how many people get so MAD at a dumb ass game and they just keep playing. DR. Phil Around!
Vincent's avatar
You can't blame anyone. It's more psychological than you think! And do you the feeling triumph you have when you win a level you've been on for DECADES it seems?!? Huh??!!?? And it's not a dumb ass game, it's fucking GENIUS!!! It's skill producing and has a very big congregation of players. I don't think it deserves the title of dumb ass. It occupies the mind better than any other hand I know. And pisses people off better than any other game I know. But it's awesome!!!
Erica Howard's avatar
K there haters....I don't see any of you posting anything different! Thank you for the tip!

Sorry LIVES REBOOT.. 5 fresh lives
Love Bebe's avatar
ive been stuck for 2 months -.-
Cel R's avatar
I bet it in 2 days but you have to pay close close close attention and look for 4 candy combos in your next move. Get as many stripes as you can. The key is to try and get at least 2 donuts. You have to have patience and not rush thru it or you will be out of moves in no time. Another tip is that once you clear the chocolates try to make stripes combos near the bottom if possible if not just make regular ones. Also try to unlock the caged early as well. Hope this helps.

Rebeccca's avatar
Glad to see I'm not the only one. However, this level is so long it get tiring. I can pretty well tell that I'm not going to make it but have to continue, you know, just in case. lol. I was zipping through levels at a pretty good speed until thing ONE..uhggg. days upon days.
Chanky's avatar
i swear its the fuckin toughest level till now.... stuck since 1 month
Laurkat's avatar
It took me 3 weeks but it can be done. It is luck. Believe me though, I almost deleted the app from FB and my phone. I was getting so frustrated after the first 2 weeks. The only thing possible is to try and clear those chocolates on the corners first. Sometimes of course that can be impossible but I promise, it can be done. Yes, like another person said, it is a wicked addiction. Other levels are more tough. Level 70 took me just as long and it looks easier but it's not. Good luck!
Danielle Stevens's avatar
Yeah F U level 65.
Danielle Stevens's avatar
Glad I'm not alone in this silly addiction! Lol
