Tips & Strategies

Written by our expert Candy Crush players

Beware the Chocolate Corner!.

The top-right quadrant of this level is the biggest obstacle. If you can't take care of the chocolate early, there is no way to win. Chocolate will fill up the board making it impossible to get the ingredients to the bottom. Restart the level if you don't start with a match in that quadrant.

Beware the Meringue Corner!.

If you can take care of the chocolate, the next biggest issue is the meringue s in the bottom-right. These are multi-layered and will be difficult to remove. Use horizontal blasts to whittle it down, or a wrapped candy if you can make one on the right half of the board. Once the meringue is taken care of, you pretty much win!

No Color Bombs.

This level is divided up into four quadrants. Two of the sections don't have blockers. However, NONE of the sections have five spaces. This means making a color bomb on this level is impossible.

Candy Crush Level 428 Video

Level 428 is an ingredients level, one of five level types in Candy Crush Saga. Your objective is to bring down 8 cherries, get at least 80,000 points, and do it in 50 moves. The level type first appears in level 11 and has now made over 150 appearances. In order to complete an ingredients level, a player must bring down the shown amount of ingredients to the bottom of the board. There two types of ingredients are cherries an hazelnuts. For every one collected, a player will receive 10,000 points.

How to Beat Ingredients Levels:

  • Wrapped candies will do fairly well for ingredients as well. These special candies will crush a large cluster of candies. Therefore, the wrapped candy should be used close to or directly below an ingredient.
  • Color bombs can also made a big impact in ingredient levels. For example, you can use one to remove a candy immediately blocking your ingredient or you can combine it with a striped candy to pretty much guarantee your ingredient's exit.
  • Striped candies are your best friends in ingredients levels. The reason behind this is that when they are activated, they will clear out an entire row(horizontal) or column(vertical) on the board. However, since vertically striped candies clear an entire column, they are far and away the best weapon in this level type. Always try to ensure that vertically striped candies and your ingredients are in the same column. When they are, the vertically striped candy will clear drop the ingredient in one swift and efficient move. For better results, align multiple candies in the same column.
  • As you progress further into the game, you will see your ingredients path to the bottom more and more obstructed by various blockers. To combat this, especially at the bottom, make sure to shift your ingredient to the a clear row or column.

Bonus Tip: Ingredient Drop Path

AI

Clear blockers in the drop path first. Vertical striped candies are your best friend - they punch through obstacles and push ingredients down fast.

i had to use a coconut wheel booster to finish the level, combine it with a striped candy (u'll get more random CW while playing) u can still keep exiting with bosters checked until you get a match in the corner (but only on phone)

Thanks for the tip, Dani. Coconut wheels help a lot on this level.

Stupid level. I don't expect games to be easy, but I do expect some sort of real strategy, not just luck. And it's not only luck on the chocolate, it's getting enough hits for the blocks and with all the cherries coming out and filling blocking the blocks it's near impossible. So you basically have to get lucky you have enough moves in the chocolate box and enough moves to break each brick 3 times before the cherries block it, and there is absolutely no strategy in that. This game is about to get deleted....Thank God I haven't spent a dime on this game.
