Candy Crush Saga Level 202 - Episode 15: Sweet Surprise

Tips & Strategies

Written by our expert Candy Crush players

Clear the frosted meringues first.

Since you are given 19 sprinkle candies/ color bomb s to start with on Candy Crush level 202, your first goal should be to activate these first. The best way to do this is by making matches that hit the meringue s directly and special candies that will hit the most of these. For example, as shown in the screen shot, a vertical striped candy that hits the entire column of sprinkle candies, and in the next screen shot, a sprinkle candy + a striped candy is going to clear most of the board (see before and after).

Make sprinkle + sprinkle candy combos.

Once you have opened up your board, you will want to activate a sprinkle candy + a sprinkle candy combo to clear the entire board again. This should get rid of most of the sprinkle candies you were given with at the start of the game. In the example shown here, there are only 3 left. Make you moves to eliminate the rest of these. Now you can see how there are only 6 sprinkle candies left to clear all of the orders for level 202 of Candy Crush, with 43 moves left on the level!

Optimize for sprinkle candies/color bombs.

This last step is probably the most difficult part about level 202 of Candy Crush, since you have to activate 6 sprinkle candies and create them all on your own. That why the hints in tip 1 and tip 2 are important since you want to get rid of the first sprinkle candies in as few moves as possible. Aim for creating special candy combos that will eliminate a good portion of the board to optimize your chances of getting an opportunity to make a 5 match. As shown in the screen shot, after activating a sprinkle candy + a striped candy , another opportunity for a sprinkle candy is available right away. As soon as you create a sprinkle candy, activate it right away since you will also optimize your chances by eliminating all of one of the colors.

Candy Crush Level 202 Video

Level 202 is a Candy Order level, one of five level types in Candy Crush Saga. Your objective is to collect all the orders (25 sprinkle candies/color bombs) in 50 moves or less. In order to complete a Candy Order level, you will need to crush a certain number of specific candy colors or types. Some early Candy Crush order levels just ask you to collect colored candies. Others will require you to get types of special candies later in the game. You'll have to approach Candy Crush order levels very differently from other stages of the game! Use these all-purpose tips for Candy Crush order levels to dominate them and score truckloads of points.

Candy Crush Order Levels Tips

  • If you need to collect special candies, focus on forming them right away. Don't bother making any special candies that don't fill your orders. If you need to make wrapped bombs, don't waste turns by making striped candies.
  • Making special candy combinations can be incredibly hard. Try to make special candies next to one another so you don't have to move them together. Plan your moves ahead so you don't accidentally set one off before making the combo.
  • Be careful when using special candies to fill colored candy orders. It sounds like a good idea to use a color bomb to get lots of candies you need. But this will make it harder to collect more of those candies if your order is still not filled.
  • Use color bombs on candies you don't need to get rid of them. Then you will have more opportunities to make big combos with candies you do need, since they'll take up more room on the board.

Bonus Tip: Order Collection

AI

Don't just match randomly - look for where your target candies cluster. Color bombs are incredibly valuable for finishing orders quickly.

Harder than i thought :(

Where are you having troubles my friend?
Angie Staino-Zavatkay's avatar
Exactly!!!!
Swati Landge's avatar
Thanks for the walkthrough.. it really helps :)
Asabi's avatar
Last I only had two more colour bombs and only 2 more moves that's the furthest i ever got
Angie Staino-Zavatkay's avatar
Same here!!
Robin Whitlock's avatar
And me, usually its just three or four, if that. I even tried that method that loudmouth further up the page suggested, and that didn't work either.
Starshine's avatar
I hate this level so much that I have quit candy crush.
Angie Staino-Zavatkay's avatar
Don't blame you!! None of these methods work!
Rock City Clasher's avatar
Why are people finding this hard? It's straightforward. Don't use all your colour bombs in one big bang - target a candy colour at a time and you'll soon get them. To prove it wasn't a fluke I played this and won it three times in a row. Seriously - it's not hard.
Karen's avatar
You are so correct! I tried the other way and I wasn't having any success - you r way had me out of this level within 3 attempts. Thanks!
isobelbaird's avatar
Could you explain in more detail what you mean by targeting a specific colour. I tried that but I must be doing something wrong as it did not work for me. I tried it their way but that did not work either
Donna's avatar
thanks that worked first time I tried it
Tzveti Gospodinova's avatar
Awesome! Thanx!!! It works perfectly!!!
Eieiei's avatar
I tried two strategies, yours which didn't work three times, and then I went the other way, tried to remove all color bombs as quick as possible, so I had plenty of moves left to form the remaining six color bombs. Not an easy task, but on the second try I had made it, and still a couple of moves left... So, three stars, that's all i want :-)
Angie Staino-Zavatkay's avatar
People are finding level 202 difficult because it IS difficult!! I have tried what was suggested here and it just won't work for me! Targeting a specific color doesn't clear the board! Most of this game is luck, anyway. Sooner or later you'll be successful, but it doesn't always happen quickly!
Vickie Prentiss's avatar
Amen, Angie! I've tried concentrating on just one color, and some of the other suggestions. Haven't won this level yet, but none of those ideas have worked for me. I have gotten the board down to just one more CB before running out.
magnolia scott's avatar
Mine doesn't give me 50 moves only 20. Anyone else only get 20 moves?
Robin Whitlock's avatar
Okay, I've upped the chances of me getting down to 2 colour bombs slightly, which though not perfect is getting a little nearer the target. What Rock City Clasher is telling you is only partially correct, perhaps he knows this, perhaps he doesn't, but there we go. So, don't use all your colour bombs in one big bang, yes. Target one candy colour at a time, yes. HOWEVER, when choosing a candy colour to target with one of the colour bombs, don't just choose any old colour, look to see which colour has most pieces on the board. In this way, say if green has 15 colours on the board and red has 9, if you choose green you get rid of more candies and therefore have more room for, hopefully, an incoming colour bomb to appear. If Rock City Clasher knows this, but hasn't told you, then he's obviously trying to present a solution without actually letting you get the solution so to speak. In that way he can keep on flaunting his ego and looking clever. But there you go, that's how you increase your chances of getting down to two, as far as I can see at least.
Rock City Clasher's avatar
Why do you feel the need to attack me like this? You've added really well to my explanation but for reasons that I cannot fathom, you've decided that I've kept some details back intentionally to prevent other people form succeeding. What on Earth is your problem? Why not be pleasant to people and about people instead of deciding I have an ego I need to flaunt? Typical troll.
Renae's avatar
Way harsh dude. There is no reason to go after someone who is just trying to help. BTW, his method works.
Jeffrey Patterson's avatar
I freed one cb then used it to wipe out one color then freed another cb and used it to wipe out another color till I was able to make a cb. I kept doing that until I went through all the trapped cbs. That left me only needing one cb Nd 19 moves to get it. Got the last cb with one move to spare.
Robin Whitlock's avatar
LEVEL 202 COMPLETED!!!!! As I suspected, Rock City Clasher wasn't telling you the entire truth... As I said below, don't use all your colour bombs in one big bang. Target one candy colour at a time. HOWEVER, and this is the bit that Rock City Clasher didn't tell you, when choosing a candy colour to target with one of the colour bombs, don't just choose any old colour, look to see which colour has most pieces on the board. In this way, say if green has 15 colours on the board and red has 9, if you choose green you get rid of more candies and therefore have more room for, hopefully, an incoming colour bomb to appear. I followed this strategy. It didn't work the first time, but on the second attempt I managed to position a group of blues in a way which I suspected, with some hard thinking and intricate moves, I could get another blue on one side of the four blues (notice that when I say four I mean three in line with a gap and the fourth hovering above the gap.) You then have to negotiate an extra blue, in this situation, on the side of the row with just one blue, rather than on the other side, which will create a three in line and knock the whole thing out. So I was doing this and also trying to maintain a nearly similar pattern among the greens a short distance away. Through carefully juggling the moves in this way I suddenly noticed I had managed to create a row of five, with one of them hovering out of place just above the gap. BINGO!! Just slotted into place and that was my last colour bomb completed. RESULT!! That's how you do it. Hard work but determination and following this strategy should get you the result too.
Rock City Clasher's avatar
And again, pointless personal attacks. You really do have some issues, don't you? I was not intentionally not telling the whole thing, I just explained it the way I did it and did it several times. You need to take a long, hard look at yourself. Being a pointless troll really isn't an attractive trait, even though it may make you feel all big and clever at the time.
bcl's avatar
Thanks. It went from moderately difficult to very easy in 1 go with plenty of moves to spare.
C Idley's avatar
This level is hard but doable. After several hours of trying and reading several tips here I finally did it. My first goal was to clear the meringues but while doing so trying to not make any 4-candy moves and also taking my time so not to miss any 5-candy opportunities. I was able to create two color bombs before using any that were already on the board. I then used all the color bombs one at a time trying to not use any on the striped candies because that just creates a whole new board with too much variety that you don't want. Between each move make sure to scan the board for any opportunities to slide a candy in between two sets of the same colored candy. Sometimes you only need to do a bit of shifting candies to make that happen. That was a major part of my winning. Remember all boards just aren't winnable no matter what you do, cut your losses and try again. I hope my suggestions help and Good luck.

I struggled with 202 for a week. Use single CBs to wipe out ther most populous color (be careful that a set up for 5 in a row isn't there already. I had some luck with double CB bursts too I finished all 25 CBs with 8 moves left over and didn't have an extra CB at the beginning from the color wheel.
FatBastard's avatar
SOrry this is an evil level and quit the game because of this level
ljwalls's avatar
I can't get it. It doesn't see to work. Still need help with it.
Maya's avatar
Thanks, Clasher! Took me a couple tries B/4 I understand how to do what you suggested, but on my 4th try, I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it worked. (Where were you when I struggled with level 201?!)
Rock City Clasher's avatar
Thanks and I've had I known....
Maya's avatar
Dear Clasher, I'm going to seek out your comments from now on! Peace be with you from an aging flower child. LOL
Rock City Clasher's avatar
Thanks - glad I could help!
Martin Mullet's avatar
thanks rock city... i followed your advice and completed the level 1 in attempt..had been stuck for 4 days
Rock City Clasher's avatar
Thanks - there are some evil levels on here!
Jerry Skelley's avatar
I just passed the level, and yes I like Rock City Clashers basic idea, but I had to refine it considerably. It's fairly easy to explode the 19 given Color bombs, but you'll have to create 6 additional CBs to "fill the orders". The odds are astronomically against even 1 CB falling into place by itself, but if you spot a horizontal pattern of two like pairs separated by a single different, you have a 1:6 chance of success by sliding the missing color down from above, and another 1:6 chance of sliding it up from below. OR, if you can make a vertical triple anywhere in the column between the two pairs, you have another 1:6 chance of a making a CB. Altogether that gives you 3:6 chance of success for ONE bomb. Btw, I regularly use the trick of resetting the board if I don't see good opportunities to clear at least 5 meringues right away. Now the revelation for me was that we can control the board better if make mostly VERTICALS triples! I've gotten pretty good at encouraging that pattern of two pairs separated by a single space. now it's just a matter of
Margaret Jones's avatar
Thanks Rock City Clasher. I've been on this level for over a week now but I followed your advice and cleared it first time. I also scored the highest score ahead of all my Facebook friends. Such a shame that others take such a bitter attitude towards someone who is only trying to help others. Jealousy is such a destructive emotion and not worth responding to. Ignore him.
Rock City Clasher's avatar
Thanks, and good luck with the game.

The game doesn't count all the bombs I make

Color does not have a U in it. Dumb fuckers....
Kathleen Billings's avatar
In Canada its spelled colour
Cheri's avatar
Not all the bombs I make are counted. Has this happened to anyone?
Charlie Forzano's avatar
yes...I just noticed that!
Correctamundo's avatar
Wow - is this cheat outdated. You only get 20 moves. It's impossible - it's one of those Odus-is-super-sensitive levels where he falls off the perch if you look at him wrong.
Annette Eva Thompson's avatar
ty for the tip finished 2nd try with 10 moves left
Irene Gero White's avatar
This tip worked like a charm!!
kathy day's avatar
Whew! After reading all the comments, I just conquered the level. I used each of the color bombs to clear a color from the board. Each time I tried to choose the color that there were the most of. And then a couple of plays to make the group of 5, if it didn't show up right away. Using each color bomb this way gives you lots of opportunities, and you only need 6. I am thrilled to move on!
sueofmi's avatar
Thank you for the excellent suggestion on using sprinkle candies. I am getting closer. I have one question. When I am out of sprinkle candies and have 30+ moves left....should I keep playing in hopes of getting more sprinkle candies....or just give up then and start over? In other words.....is it worth the time and moves in hopes of getting sprinkle candies? I appreciate your input.
Charlie Forzano's avatar
Thanks Rock City! So simple and it worked! Took me like three tries.... and I really was convinced that this was a level I was going to be stuck at forever. The tricky thing with this is that you have to sort of play different than you do on other levels - you don't want the most bang for your buck - slow and steady wins on this one....this is what worked for me - I did the individual colors one at a time and made sure not to pick special candies to combine with the bombs...I also found that I was so engrossed with the bombs that while I still had a lot of bombs on the board....I didn't keep a close enough eye out for opportunities to make new bombs...Great tip...thanks for taking the time to share it.

It is not true what you said "As shown in the screen shot, after activating a sprinkle candy + a striped candy, another opportunity for a sprinkle candy is available right away". I have repeatedly smashed a sprinkle and stripe but another sprinkle never comes up nor an opportunity to create one.
