Candy Crush might be one of the most successful match-3 titles in recent years as many people are playing this game wherever they go. It is indeed very addictive and easy to take moves because of its conventional match-3 feature. However, if you want to play this game on another level, you should know some of the tricks to creates more special matches more than just random match-3s.

The first misunderstanding that should be clarified is the in-game hint. Whenever players get stuck in the middle of a level, they would often resort to the prompt. There is nothing wrong about using hints. However, players should be aware that those hints are completely given in random and the solutions are not always the best. Therefore, players should try to limit their reliance on hints. Instead, they should rely more on their own judgement and create a better match combo.

Besides, players should know their priority on each level and deal with it first. Although many levels seem more or less the same in terms of candy variation, sometimes players are also given special candies such as jelly. Under such circumstance, players should try to get the issue out of their way before they eliminate other regular candies.

What’s more, there is one feature that most players often ignore. It is helpful to regularly view the social feature and interact with others on its interface. In doing so, players can help each other whenever they need some items that otherwise would be purchased with real money. Staying socially active is quite important particularly when players are running out of lives to continue the game. Donating game lives to or receiving them from other players is the most effective way to resume the game without paying.

Furthermore, players should use their boosters wisely. On those easier levels, players can switch off the boosters before the game starts so that they can preserve those power-ups for harder levels later. Meanwhile, when using boosters, players should be mindful of those unique ones that can clear up certain type of candies in one go. In those cases, it is wiser to use such boosters when there are large number of such candies, or when other boosters are consumed.
