Tips & Strategies

    First, make vertical striped candies

    In any ingredient level, including Candy Crush level 288, making vertical striped candies (where the lines face up and down, not side to side) is vital. It is the easiest way to bring down ingredients. Given the shape of this board and the use of transporters, your only guarantee for dropping your ingredients is to use a vertical striped candy. The good news is that the shape of the board will make it easier to form them and they're great for taking out multi-layered meringues. Remember: a striped candy cannot take out licorice.

    Don't move the ingredients

    You'll notice in Candy Crush level 288 (if you're attentive) that there are only transporters in every other column. The ingredients will drop down into one of these right columns but you cannot move them. Moving ingredients is already difficult but if you off-set one of yours to make a move, it's unlikely you'll get another move to set it right. You must work around the ingredients--treat them like color bombs!

    Bust the meringue blocks

    In an ingredient level, it can be hard to remember that not every move is about the ingredients. Make sure that you make strong moves for busting the meringues--why? Well, obviously, you need to clear the licorice xs but it will also help open up the board for more vertical striped candy moves.

LOL.. these comments are tickling me and I don't mean that in a sarcastic way.. but yes this is a stinker of a level, the board dictates you make horizontal stripes not vertical, and the quadruple meringues are a pain.. I run out of moves before I get the ingredients half way down the board LOL

I agree, it's bs. I've followed these instructions and the verticals do not, I repeat DO NOT let the items down. been on this level for months and have never gotten a single item to go down.

1. Leave the ingredients in their columns. 2. This is 100% about making vertical stripes (& colour bombs if you get the chance). 3. Keep blowing the stripes to clear the meringues.
