Tips & Strategies

Written by our expert Candy Crush players

Make striped candies .

Since there are so few moves in level 33, you need to create special candies to hit multiple boxes of jelly at the same time. The striped candies are most effective with this level, because they clear entire rows both horizontally and vertically. The wrapped candy is not as helpful, because it will only explode in the box that you swipe it in. But it is useful to combine these two special candies together - the striped candy and the wrapped candy - which leads to tip number 2 for Candy Crush level 33.

Make striped and wrapped candy combos.

The best move you can make in level 33 of Candy Crush is swiping the striped candy and the wrapped candy together. The striped and wrapped candy combo will clear the most jelly with one move. Making this candy combo is tricky with so few moves and space, so just keep it in the back of your mind. li>A more realistic alternative is the striped combos (swiping two striped candies together), but these are only useful if positioned carefully to hit the jellies.

Start at the top.

Clear all the obvious matches on top of the board first, but only if it clears at least 2 jelly squares in 1 move. Next, work on creating special candies and clearing jelly on the bottom squares, while simultaneously shifting candies on the top squares into new cascading matches.

Candy Crush Level 33 Video

Level 33 is a Jelly level, one of five level types in Candy Crush Saga. Your objective is to clear all of the jelly in 17 moves. In order to complete a Jelly level, you must remove all of the jelly on the board. You remove jelly from the board by making a match with a piece of candy on top of the jelly. In the higher levels, you can sometimes get stuck on double jelly levels. On those you have to make two matches on top of a square of jelly in order to clear it from the board! We've got all the tips to beat jelly levels you need here at candy crush cheats!

How To Beat Jelly Levels:

  • Your only objective in jelly levels is to clear the jelly. That means you should only be worried about making matches on top of the jelly, and not other parts of the board.
  • If you can't make a match on top of the jelly, try using jelly fish! Jelly fish act like normal candies in that you match them with other candies of the same color. But when you make a match with a jelly fish, its will activate and swim off the screen. Then three new jelly fish will swim on screen and eat three jelly squares. For double jelly squares, this will count as one match. If jelly is stuck under a blocker that isn't licorice, the jelly fish will still eat the jelly from under the blocker.
  • Jelly squares at the top of the board and at the corners can be tricky, since these are the hardest spot to match candies. Watch out for these, and try to clear the board first.
  • When you clear all the jelly from the level, you will get a sugar crush. This will give you a ton of points.

Whoever wrote this must have played and filmed the screen 1000 times. There is about as much way to win this level as to win the lottery. The first thing you have to do is clear the bottom squares. That helps to clear the top by the pieces dropping. But the chances of clearing all are virtually nil. The game is set up by mathematical algorithms. Certain levels are deliberately set up to be impossible to beat without paying money. The developers exploit human additive nature in order to profiteer off of it. A person well finally say, well, it's just 99¢. There are now more than 15 million players. That's $15 million from people just trying to advance past level 33. So, remember, before you plop down your hard-earned money, just like a carnival game, Candy Crush is rigged, and should be banned, especially by Apple in the iTunes store.

I love when people use the word "algorithms"- it makes me think of the scene in the movie Good Will Hunting where Matt Daemon's character burns the university dude in the bar for trying to appear smarting that he is in a pompous, condescending way. If it is so silly than why in the f are you reading this blog post in the first place??

Dude, I have a pass rate of about 33% at level 33. It's best if you understand how the pieces interact with each other, and what effect they have when combined. You don't have to pay a penny to pass the levels of this game, just be smart enough to understand the concept and rules of the game.

My son encouraged me to try this game, so I downloaded it. 24 hours later, I had completed levels 1-35. The next day, I decided to go back and get 3 stars on every level...which is how I landed here. Completing level 33 isn't too difficult, but getting 3 stars has proven to be more of a challenge. If you're the type who can't have fun unless you win right away, don't play games like this. If you enjoy a challenge, simply keep trying. Quitters are losers. If you don't give up, you will succeed eventually. As Churchill said, "Never give up. Never give up. Never ever ever give up."

Don - You are absolutely right and those not understanding what you are trying to point out are either oblivious or too fan stricken to give your argument credit. However, as a person who HATES in-app purchase games I must say I do believe Candy Crush to be fair. Let's break it down: consider the number of employees this company likely has, let's say 30. Say 15 are low wage at $25,000 a year, that's $375,000 per year. Now 10 at a fairly decent wage of $50,000, that's $500,000 a year. At the top you have 5 left and let's make them fat cats at $100,000 a year for another $500,000. Now an advertising budget per year for another $150,000. Operating costs say $250,000 for rent, cleaning, heating, etc. . . Now out of the 15 million players it is likely they are lucky if they can get a 10% return so that gives you $1,500,000. Of course they bring in more than that due to multiple points within the game for in-app purchases. I do not purchase any items and I must say I find the game quite fulfilling for the free ride. Your point of people's addictions is also accurate, but I don't believe Casinos are responsible for gambler's addictions nor bars responsible for alcoholics. My point being, I believe this company has found a fair balance for the player where by it can also make good money for its team. That being said, anyone not paying attention to your words of wisdom is an idiot:)

Don Austen You are wrong. Every time some ignorant player whines about the game forcing you to buy adds, the developers have to point people to several faqs and articles that CLEARLY state that CC CAN be finished WITHOUT paying a dime. A person just needs skill, patience and a little luck BUT IT CAN BE DONE. I am guessing that a)you have either never played this before and are ignorant about how the game and adds work, b) Have played the game and was ignorant about how things worked and you quit with probably spending a ton of your "hard earned .99 c) you are stuck in a level (maybe 33) and feel that if you can't do it without adds then no one else can so therefor the game is rigged IGNORANT. There are NO unsolvable levels. EVERY level can eventually be done. What makes me think that you didn't even read the article is the fact that your "strategy" for 33 is to start at the bottom squares. This is not correct. This article and others in similar postings regarding 33 will tell you that you should clear the TOP first and then work on getting striped and candies to take out the bottom. Have some idea about what your talking about in the future before you accuse anyone of cheating. Your call to have the game banned because you aren't clever enough to solve it is just IGNORANT.

Don isn't saying you can't beat it without paying. He's not even whining. He is being a bit naive wanting it banned, but he's just passionate about his knowledge. Calling him names (or anyone in any forum) isn't showing intelligence on your part so be careful the rocks you throw at glass houses. However, let's rephrase your view point if you don't mind me being so bold. Don is correct, the game (and any in-app purchase game) is designed to make money. However, many apps out there are much worse in their designs than Candy Crush. CC is an enjoyable past time for all and if you choose not to pay do not expect to always have an easy time of it. I find it fine because of the numerous in between levels that are extremely enjoyable. I will take my patience through the "lowered odds" levels and I will not pay. That is because it will be a cold day in he** before I give any game fully funded through in-app purchases my money. Just as Don is passionate about his knowledge, you are passionate about yours and I believe being a loyal fan to something you believe in and enjoy is perfectly acceptable, even commendable. But neither side needs to make a villain of the other;) Not Don, nor we loyal fans.

Contrary to what Don Austen says, you can beat it without paying. It took me more than several tries, and the trick is to create almost ONLY striped candies, wrapped candies and black candies, and combining those whenever possible. With patience you can do this for free. I am now up to level 50 and have never paid. It is addictive, but to me it's a fun mental challenge...that I refuse to pay for. :}

I'm done with this game. Can't get by level 29. I have left a single tile many times and the game refuses to give me the matching colors I need. Played the level more than 50x. Sneaky programming bastards want me to buy something to get to the next level but to them I say, go screw yourself. I deleted it from my tablet and will NOT be downloading any games from the same dev company.

I am on the same level and am getting frustrated too. Like I've said it's good for a game to be challenging but when they make it this hard you start to lose interest. I will try the tips I've learned here and then bye bye.

Game got boring. Fun when you can work at it for a while and solve. Run out of lives and try again tomorrow only good for a little while. Several days and just had enough. I have a life. Moved on to some other free game. Deleted it. Feel better already.
Madelyn's avatar
•
Yep , thats how they are going to lose players. Its fine for a game to be challenging but when you try and try and still can't pass it, its just not fun anymore. I dont want it to be too easy cause then it would be boring but when you're stuck on the same level for days and days, it just makes me want to stop and move. Which I will. Soon

After wasting my time in reading your comments I thought that I might comment as well since we all have nothing else to do. 1. The game is developed to generate money for the developer so well done for him or her for the great business. 2. Paying 99c is better than paying $9 for one beer for you satisfaction 3. No need to use big words in fun forums like this after all it's just a game = fun = happiness Have fun all and happy crush

This is a very interesting post thread. I can't believe I sat and read the whole thing, but two weeks ago, I had shoulder surgery and have been pretty much stuck in a recliner since. Which is the only reason I downloaded the game in the first place...to kill time...a lot of it. And I have. It is frustrating to get stuck, I was stuck on 33, but after reading this page, I got it in two more tries! It is a game! Enjoy it for what it is! When you get frustrated, do something productive, take a walk, talk to the people in your life and then come back when you have time to kill. Vegas is built on mathematical probability and you MUST pay to play, but it's always the casinos who get rich in the long run. I don't want to lose money so I don't gamble or pay .99 to play. I just give my way more valuable time to my tablet.

It was probably just luck, but after reading this, I went back to level 33 and they lined up so that I was able to make 2 striped candies in 3 moves, and then shortly after that combine them. The rest of the moves worked out. I have never paid a cent, and never will.

I have yet to be able to get 4 like candies together to make a striped or wrapped candy and 9 out of 10 games I can only work in one box, the top left. There are no moves at all in the other 3.
