Yep. Been doing this.A tip for these levels....when using your sprinkles, use them to clear a color that is dominating your board, not necessarily the color you need419 sucks
2 sprinkle, 5 wraps AND 100 yellow?Got down to needing 20-some yellows.
Until you get down to, say, 15 of a certain color remaining, just look to clear the most candies of any color.
Still stuck on 356. Anyone have ANY suggestions (other than quitting)? I still can only get 3 of the 5 striped combos and it is not even close.
It made me stop for months, saw this thread and started trying again yesterday. Beat it this morning, I never thought it was going to happen.
Thought I was going to be stuck there for as long as 350.. Started making the Matches in the bottom right hand corner first.. after each match I'd look at each square and look for any possible 4 match to make stripes.. If none, returned to bottom right hand square and matched again.. Doing that took me 3 tries to finish, using no bonuses I might add
This thing is killing me...especially how it toys with me and I get to within 3 or 4 jellies remaining...
Damn you are good - tried that same strategy and got it on 4th try today. Thank you, sir.Thought I was going to be stuck there for as long as 350..

I've been within a couple turns of passing, but most times things look good and I'll accidentally complete a cake, making you start over. Now I'm at the point where if I don't get at least one set in the first twenty turns, I forfeit that round.
Yea I just don't have any ####### clue what to do. The 4 corner stripes are a big waste and no help. The closest I've gotten is down to 2 combos, once.
so all you guys having trouble at these 300+ and 400+ levels, did the early 100's suck for you too? i have been stuck around them for a bit, and man are they not working out for me.Yea I just don't have any ####### clue what to do.

I would get stuck every so often for a couple days, but nothing like this, I've been here for a month and have pretty much packed it in. It was a good run.modogg said:so all you guys having trouble at these 300+ and 400+ levels, did the early 100's suck for you too? i have been stuck around them for a bit, and man are they not working out for me.Billy Bats said:Yea I just don't have any ####### clue what to do.

less than half the time I can get one match from the first four. The other times, one will get hit and start a chain reaction where they all pop. I usually start over when that happens.Billy Bats said:Yea I just don't have any ####### clue what to do. The 4 corner stripes are a big waste and no help.

So you think we have to get both combos off of those four stripes? I hardly ever get one. My thought was to knock out the cakes as fast as possible to have more room to create stripes.

It's total dumb luck to get even one match of those first four, let alone two. My approach was to take what they give you. If you can make a striped, make it, but if not, get rid of at least two cakes so that you have more room and fewer surprises. If you have a chance to get rid of all the cakes early, take it. I was always working on making more stripes as opposed to wasting turns trying to get them to be next to each other (unless I could get them adjacent in one or two moves).So you think we have to get both combos off of those four stripes?

Finally! Knocked out all cakes with 40 moves left then worked the stripes and used one hammer to get the last combo.
I don't mind being stuck on a board if it's fun (no chocolates) and I feel like I have a chance, but 421 was the worst one yet, never cam close until I just finished it.
Guess there's different ways of doing it.Finally! Knocked out all cakes with 40 moves left then worked the stripes and used one hammer to get the last combo.
after a couple of weeks. The game finally just decided to move me on eventually. I played two games in a row where I missed it by 1 jelly, so I figured "this must be my time" and played with a lot more focus. Cleared it a couple of tries later.
That one took awhile but focus on the 5 combos. If you get those, the 200 blues take care of themselves.
Finally beat 182... my luck it will be a challenge for one of the upcoming levels.182 will be the death of me...
crushes any one candy of your choosing... if it's a striped, wrapped, etc. it also activates it to do it's thing. Also clears jelly. Though I'm not sure what happens if it's a frosting block. Not sure if it just bumps it down one level or destroys the whole thing.
Thank you! Completed this morning using a hammer. I'd forgotten I had them and with ten turns left I had to move a stripe down one. "How do I get rid of this one orange...?" Two turns later and a tornado hitting one spot away, I saw the hammer.
I always get the sprinkle with some fish or hammers thrown in from time to time.
I get random stuff as well. Only 1 jackpot so far, but mostly color bombs for me.
