Level 461

Level 461 is the sixth level in Sugary Shire and the one hundred ninty-fourth jelly level. To pass this level, you must clear 63 double jelly squares and score at least 125,000 points in 50 moves or fewer. When you have extra moves left in this level, Sugar Crush will activate jelly fish to eat candies and score you additional points.


Due to a lot of chocolate placed in inconvenient positions, it is an extremely hated level, and is available to be voted as one of the hardest levels in the game.













Difficulty
The chocolate is your main annoyance and your priority to destroy. Try to clear all of it if possible, though this may not be possible in the early parts of the level.
The odd shape of the bottom of the board makes some jelly squares extremely difficult to clear.

Because of this, is has been voted the third hardest, only to be behind level 147,level 350 and level 421.


Stars







Strategy

Use the jelly fish wisely - it would be best to clear most of the jelly on the main board so that the fish will target the bottom. However, this is not completely necessary.
Make any combinations you can; in fact, this level is nearly impossible to pass without them. Colour bombs and striped candy are extremely helpful in this level. Wrapped candy + striped candy combinations can help, but they have to be placed perfectly.
If you do not clear the chocolate before it starts spreading, you have little chance of winning. This is a priority.

Striped candy + wrapped candy or colour bomb + striped candy combinations are also useful for clearing jellies and chocolate.

level 500

Level 500
Level 500 is the fifteenth and last level in Meringue Moor and the one hundred twenty-second ingredients level. To pass this level, you must bring down 4 hazelnuts and 4 cherries and score at least 80,000 points in 65 moves or fewer. If you have extra moves left in this level, Sugar Crush will activate striped candies and score you additional points.

This level is intrinsically special due to its round number (though the design has nothing special (save for being the level with the most moves). Even more remarkable is that this is the final level of the episode, making it the second level to be an episode finale on a multiple of 100. The first was Level 200.


With a complex design and abundance of icing, it is a very difficult level to complete, and is available to be voted as one of the hardest level in the game.







Difficulty
This level is really hard due to the amount of blockers that separate the ingredients from the bottom of the screen, with 28 three-layer icing, then 4 four layer and 4 five layer. Just about every blocker in the game is present in this level (with the exception of toffee tornado). There is also a division in the screen, first by Liquorice Locks, then by liquorice swirls from the dispenser, and the dispenser also drops bombs which come out on just 6 moves, making them a massive threat. If you don't pay attention, they will blow up in no time.
The chocolate spawners make it almost impossible to reach the bottom layers of icing, and also the coconut wheel at the bottom is often rendered unusable by the liquorice swirls, as well as the fact it cannot reach the bottom icing. The chocolate will also multiply out rapidly.
It is hard to bring down all eight ingredients, even though there are more moves in this level than any other level at 65. 
The Coconut Wheel doesn't clear the bottom layer of icing, Also, the coconut wheel is often set off prematurely or is rendered useless by liquorice swirls. Bombs can also get stuck in that position.

Overall, this is a really difficult ingredients level that generally takes many tens of tries, or even hundreds. This is one of the hardest levels in the entire game, like level 181.


Voting Result
As of the release of this level on mobile, the trend of "Insanely Hard" votes has increased, and it is expected that the vote distribution will again have over 70% of the votes as Insanely Hard, satisfying the standard criteria for Insanely Hard levels.


This is quite possibly among the hardest levels in the entire game when considering votes and is the second hardest level according to the hardest level in the game poll, beaten only by level 350.

Stars







Strategy
1. Make matches next to the icing to remove layers.


2. Make striped candies or striped candy +wrapped combos to:

Release the coconut wheel
Remove the slices of the cake bomb
3. Once the coconut wheel is released, clear the liquorice swirls above it. Then move the coconut wheel upwards, where it will make 3 horizontally striped candies and remove the slices of the cake bomb.


4. Once all cake bombs have been cleared, make as many vertically striped candies or its combinations above the ingredients as this is the only way to the icing below the ingredients.



5. Mind the bombs and don't let them get trapped between the cake bombs or at the bottom space.


Trivia
Level 500 is the second level to be an exact hundred and was an episode finale. The first was level 200. Interestingly, people thought level 200 would be the last level and incredibly hard, when actually it's quite easy. Both were ingredients levels. The difference is this level is a lot harder.
65 moves is a new record; the last one to have 60 was level 392.
Also, if using extra moves, you can reach a total of 68 or 70 moves (depending on whether you use +3 or +5)
This is one of those levels, like the original level 147 and level 181, which look easy but are actually very difficult.
Many people thought this level would be a jelly level due to the pattern of level finales. Levels like 350 (the hardest in the game), 380, 410, 440 and 470 were all difficult jelly finales (every other finale), and the ones in between being candy order levels. (Level 395 was an ingredients Level). However, when level 485 turned out to be jelly instead of candy order, people began to suspect level 500 wouldn't be jelly, as it turned out not to be.
There was a poll before the release of this level to vote on the predicted level type. About 70% of people voted "Jelly".
With 65 moves, this is possibly the non-timed level where attempts are longest - one attempt played slow can take over 10 minutes.
This level has great similarity to a drawn suggestion by Lefty7788: the founder of the wiki!

Many people thought that it would be the last level ever, as there was a ten week gap between this level's release and the next episode, Ice Cream Caves. The record-breaking gap was the reason for this belief.


Walkthrough

Level 323
Level 323 is the third level in Munchy Monolith and is the one hundred thirty-ninth jelly level. To pass this level, you must clear 64 double jelly squares and score at least 125,000 points in 25 moves or fewer. If you have extra moves left in this level, Sugar Crush will activate jelly fish to eat candies and score you additional points. 


This is one of the very few levels that got buffed to become much more difficult than before. It is available to be voted as one of the hardest levels in the game



Difficulty
The jellies in the lower part of the board are difficult to remove since it is easy to get stuck on the lower sections, as there are no longer teleporters at the bottom to trigger large, unpredictable cascades.

Once there are only a few jellies left to destroy, they may be hard to reach with a few moves.


Like all other "quadrant" levels, it is harder as colour bombs can't be created. They can be obtained from 
mystery candies, though.


You have 64 double jellies to destroy with 25 moves, which means you will need to destroy/degrade 6 jellies per move.

Stars







Strategy
Try to prevent the lower sections from having no moves. Try to keep them alive by manipulating the corresponding upper section first before making a move there.
In case one of the lower section is stuck, use striped candies to reach the stuck part. A striped+wrapped combo at the lower part is optimal.
Try to obtain and arrange mystery candies in favourable positions. Whenever one spawns, open it immediately.
Color bombs are precious. If a color bomb comes out from the mystery candy, save it until it can be combined with a striped candy.
This level should give you a lot of cascades, especially with teleporters all around. As long as good outcomes keep on spawning, the mystery candy should help a lot, even with five colors on board. There should be five mystery candies used up when you have opened up every one of them. Pretend this is a candy order and pretend you have to get two color bomb+color bomb combinations.

Walkthrough


Level 331
Level 331 is the eleventh level in Munchy Monolith and the eighty-first ingredients level. To pass this level, you must bring down 2 hazelnuts and 2 cherries and score at least 40,000 points in 45 moves or fewer. If you have extra moves left in this level, Sugar Crush will activate striped candies and score you additional points.

Difficulty
It may be difficult to create vertical striped candies on the left hand side of the board to directly bring down the ingredient. Also, chocolates may build up on the left hand side of the board if left untreated, making it difficult to bring down the ingredient.





Stars







Strategy
Try to save the coconut wheels for the last ingredient or when there are too much chocolates. Make as many horizontal striped candies on the right side of the board to help bringing down the ingredients, and try to look up the possibilities of vertical striped candies on the first two rows of the left side of the board.


Walkthrough






Level 261
Level 261 is the first level in Holiday Hut and the one hundred eleventh jelly level. To pass this level, you must clear 27 double jelly squares and score at least 55,000 points in 50 moves or  fewer. If you have extra moves left in this level, Sugar Crush will activate jelly fish to eat candies and score you additional points.
Difficulty
It's difficult to destroy the Liquorice Locks on the center on the board, and once the Liquorice Locks on the top of the board are destroyed, candy bombs start to drop down to the board through the dispenser, forcing you to waste moves just to dispose the candy bombs.
Stars







Strategy
Try to work from the bottom up, though be wary if any candy bombs begin to fall. Watch their timer

Level 266
Level 266 is the sixth level in Holiday Hut and the forty-sixth candy order level. To pass this level, you must collect 5 striped candy + striped candy combinations and score at least 25,000 points in 50 moves or fewer. If you have extra moves left in this level, Sugar Crush will activate striped candies and score you additional points.
Difficulty
This level is deceitful because;


The bombs are impossible to free from once they come out unless you demolish the bomb and move it towards the center at the same time.   The only way to pass this level is to bust the chocolate at the start.  That gives room to make the striped candy. In addition, this level could reach the difficulty of Insanely Hard.
Stars







Strategy
Try not to trigger any bombs from the candy cannon until you have fewer than 15 moves left or when you're almost finishing your last combo. To stay away from the bombs, try to make striped candy combos at the top half of the board only. If any bomb spawns, there can be tons of trouble, since more bombs can spawn indefinitely!  If you have the Sweet Teeth Chocolate Muncher use it right away. That was the only way I got past this level.
Walkthrough
Level 272
Level 272 is the twelfth level in Holiday Hut and the sixty-ninth ingredients level. To pass this level, you must bring down 5 hazelnuts and 5 cherries and score at least 100,000 points in 45 moves or less. If you have extra moves in this level, Sugar Crush will activate striped candies and score you additional points.
Stars

Strategy
First, clear the icing only below where the ingredients drop, not where the bombs drop.  Free the marmalade next to the coconut wheels to the left or right and activate them so that they roll up and the ingredients can go down the column easily. Try to complete the task in a good number of moves, so that you can get two stars, or even three in the sugar crush.

275 new

Level 275Level 275 is the fifteenth and last level in Holiday Hut and the one hundred seventeenth jelly level. To pass this level, you must clear 65 double jelly squares and score at least 130,000 points in 45 moves or fewer. If you have extra moves left in this level, Sugar Crush will activate jelly fish to eat candies and score you additional points.

This level was the hardest level in the game until it was nerfed in late 2013. The bombs' timer was increased from 3 to 8 and the chocolates were replaced with two-layer icing.
Difficulty
It is really difficult, as the player has to take extra care not to destroy the icing under the bomb dispensers. Bombs produced from these dispensers have 8 moves but is quite difficult to clear the bombs. The main problem is that even if one bomb is destroyed, another will come out and due to their position and the fact there's six colours, it is next to impossible to hold them back unless the chocolate multiplies over it.

Players will have to clear jellies next to the icing, and it is really hard to break these. Players will need to hope that the fish can break as it is very hard to get this to happen twice.

Even the fish will sometimes break the jelly diagonally below the bomb dispensers, which then breaks the icing below the bomb dispensers and releases the bombs. This is something that cannot be predicted or prevented.

To prevent you from winning, there are six colours
Stars







Strategy
Try start clearing only the middle jellies at first, then move on to the sides. By doing this, it adds protection to accidental cascades that can destroy the important icing and reveal the bomb. Destroy the bottom chocolates at the sides once you are all set.

Be careful when doing combos. Color bomb + striped candy combo is especially not recommended, as it will easily destroy the icing on top. To ease the task of clearing jellies, try conserving the jelly fish until the last few jellies. The jellies on the 1st row must be handled with special care. In conclusion, do not let the bomb out at all costs, unless you are down to the last jellies on the green square. 

If a bomb popped out, it is most likely game over, although it is possible to move the bomb to the column beside it to defuse it. In that case, there will be a normal candy under the dispenser that is not a bomb, and stop the flow of bombs.

Try using a vertical striped candy on the side to clear the side jellies and avoid clearing the icing275
That difficulty is for the level must be.


This is the only level in this episode to complete easy to turn the bombs from
