Candy Crush Saga Level 87 - Episode 7: Bubblegum Bridge

Tips & Strategies

Written by our expert Candy Crush players

Make moves on the right.

You should first work toward the right side of the board, which will clear the meringue and open up more room on the board for cascading matches. Even after the meringue has cleared, the ingredients can only be brought to the bottom (right) through the right side of the board by the green arrows, so moves to the right are always best in level 87.

Make striped candies and special candy combos.

As all other ingredient levels in Candy Crush, vertical striped candies and striped candy combos are the best moves to make. Make a vertical striped candy by matching four candies, with the last one moving either up or down. You can also match a striped candy with another striped candy, a wrapped candy , or a color bomb for maximum effect. Color bombs on their own are also good because they can eliminate a candy of a particular color if it is standing in the way of the ingredient and the bottom of the board.

Bring down the ingredients.

Since you need to move the ingredients from the left side of the board, constantly keep your eyes open for an opportunity. Although this level moves quick, make sure that you are keeping track of the ingredients. Once the meringue have been cleared, move any ingredients that were stuck above the meringue to the bottom to collect them.

Candy Crush Level 87 Video

Level 87 is an ingredients level, one of five level types in Candy Crush Saga. Your objective is to bring down 8 ingredients and score 80,000 points in 50 moves . The level type first appears in level 11 and has now made over 150 appearances. In order to complete an ingredients level, a player must bring down the shown amount of ingredients to the bottom of the board. There two types of ingredients are cherries an hazelnuts. For every one collected, a player will receive 10,000 points.

How to Beat Ingredients Levels:

  • Wrapped candies will do fairly well for ingredients as well. These special candies will crush a large cluster of candies. Therefore, the wrapped candy should be used close to or directly below an ingredient.
  • Color bombs can also made a big impact in ingredient levels. For example, you can use one to remove a candy immediately blocking your ingredient or you can combine it with a striped candy to pretty much guarantee your ingredient's exit.
  • Striped candies are your best friends in ingredients levels. The reason behind this is that when they are activated, they will clear out an entire row(horizontal) or column(vertical) on the board. However, since vertically striped candies clear an entire column, they are far and away the best weapon in this level type. Always try to ensure that vertically striped candies and your ingredients are in the same column. When they are, the vertically striped candy will clear drop the ingredient in one swift and efficient move. For better results, align multiple candies in the same column.
  • As you progress further into the game, you will see your ingredients path to the bottom more and more obstructed by various blockers. To combat this, especially at the bottom, make sure to shift your ingredient to the a clear row or column.

Bonus Tip: Ingredient Drop Path

AI

Clear blockers in the drop path first. Vertical striped candies are your best friend - they punch through obstacles and push ingredients down fast.

I also only get 33 moves and have Odus to deal with - really really hard level, not getting anywhere near.

If you need to deal with Odus, perhaps you should check out our Dreamworld guide for level 87. http://candycrush-cheats.com/dreamworld-level-87/

I only get 33 moves....?????

I made it through easily. The trick is to make sure the ingredients exit through the third column from the right side, this way, all subsequent ingredients will fall through the same column. Got it ?
Cappy's avatar
What the cheats above don't explain clear enough if that you won't get more ingredients, until you exit the ones on the board. They say to clear out the right, but don't emphasize to do that exclusively if you want more ingredients. Clearing out the left side will not bring you more. Once I figured that out I finished this level after 2 tries (whereas I spent 50+ trying it the other way). The tipsters dropped the candy on this level.
