Tips & Strategies

    First make vertically striped candies

    In level 197 you cannot make any moves to eliminate the jelly until you unwrap the marmalade-covered candies. So your first moves should be vertical striped special candies that will hit any of the 6 columns that contain the marmalade. Once you have broken the marmalade, you can swipe 2 wrapped candies together as a special candy combo. This will trigger a chain reaction that can explode all of the remaining wrapped candies on the board. The columns closest to the center of the board are the most effective in clearing the most jelly.

    Focus moves on the bottom

    After you have utilized all the wrapped candies on the bottom half of the board by following tip number 1, you should hopefully have a high number of moves left and a pretty decent amount of jelly and meringues cleared. Your main focus should now on making as many moves as you can on the bottom of the board. Making moves at the top can waste moves, and it is difficult to position special candies and combos in useful ways. Even making regular 3 candy matches will keep opening the meringues in order to clear the jelly stuck in the border. Ideally you want to special candy combos in the bottom of the board, but if you can't just make any moves you can until a special candy opportunity appears.

    Use the best special candy combos

    The best special candy combos to use in Candy Crush Level 197 depends on which half of the board you in. The sprinkle candy + striped candy combo can help you on either side of the board, so if you have no moves on the bottom this is a good combo to make. A wrapped candy and striped candy combo is very good at the bottom of the board since it will hit all rows and columns that contain jelly. Activate this combo on the far right and left hand sides of the bottom, since it will clear the most jelly with one hit, and the hardest pieces of jelly to clear are at the far edges of the board. A wrapped candy + striped candy combo will help you on the top and the bottom of the board, but it isn't worth wasting moves to get this special candy combo at the top of the board. It will only clear 3 columns with 1 hit.

Hang in there Casey. I just completed it after about 5 tries. Used 2 lollipop hammers to start out and get the marmalade and then 1 more to get the second to last jelly. Got a lucky drop on the last jelly.

Ups, I just made it in my second attempt. Yes, it is not easy, but you should be able to make a vertical striped candy on each side on the top and use it, afterwards combine the two wrapped candies on the bottom part, and then it is just a game of luck if you can get another striped plus sprinkle candy combined to clear the rest.

100% untrue. Its aimed at adults who spend money. King make 1 MILLION a DAY on ccs. Over 1.2 billion so far. Not for kids, dont let the colors fool you.

A hard core gamer will play ANY game, in any format, as long as its challenging. To me, the real challenge of CCS is to beat it without paying one red cent to King. If its too \"simple\" a game for you, go back to sniping in Halo and stop being so butthurt over the label \"hardcore\". \"Time passer\", maybe on lvls 1 - 100, but the real game doeant begin until lvl 101.

Candy Crush is just too easy a game to beat, how about some 3 dimensional chess, against a NASA computer using encrypted binary code?

Furthermore, hardcore gamers don't play candy crush. They consider this simplistic game a little time passer for commuters.

They are in the business to make money, so don't purchase anything, be stuck for ever, quit the game or buy. They sure don't make it fun anymore. It is a waste of my time.
