Candy Crush Saga Level 99 - Episode 8: Salty Canyon

Tips & Strategies

Written by our expert Candy Crush players

First clear the bombs.

You only have 7 moves to clear the two bombs on the bottom of your screen, so your first moves should be focused on those bombs. Otherwise they will explode and you will fail the level before you can even begin to clear the jelly.

Next free the jelly from the meringue and licorice.

After you have cleared all the bombs, you need to start clearing the jelly. But first you need to clear the way to the jelly, which is blocked by meringue s and licorice xs . Meringues only take one hit to clear, so those shouldn't be too difficult. Almost any special candy and special candy combo is good to use to break through these blockers to get to the jelly. Just make sure that they are positioned correctly.

Make moves on the bottom .

When in doubt, making moves on the bottom board is a good strategy to use in Candy Crush 99. This level is pretty easy to beat by just relying on cascading matches that will clear all the jelly for you.

Candy Crush Level 99 Video

Level 99 is a Jelly level, one of five level types in Candy Crush Saga. Your objective is to clear all 9 jelly and score 65,000 points in 20 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.

Bonus Tip: Double Jelly Layers

AI

Double-layer jelly requires two hits. Plan your special candies to sweep the same areas twice for maximum efficiency.

Pam's avatar
The bombs keep coming and I don't even get to clear the meringue or licorice before I run out of moves!
Soncie22's avatar
Exactly! Making any strategic moves next to impossible. So glad I wasn't the only one who felt this way! And here I thought level 95 would be the end of my days of playing Candy Crush!:p
Geertje's avatar
Yes, I am also wondering how many bombs you need to clear?
Candy Crush Cheats's avatar
Hi Geerje, the board starts with two 7 move bombs that should be cleared rather early. After that you should clear any bomb that drops in your way of clearing jellies. Just keep an eye on the moves left on the bomb. You don't want that sucker blowing up on you.

just deleted this game.. this game is ridiculous, over challenging, unnecessary hard levels.. i just wanna hve fun playin this crap, played all the way to lvl 99.. thts it for me..
Linda W Jones's avatar
No need to delete if you don't want to go on to more challenging levels. You can replay earlier levels--play against your high score or your friends' high scores! That's a what I do when I feel a bit overwhelmed.
Kimberly Ann Barton's avatar

GailD's avatar
Anyone who plays this on a tablet you can have as many lives as you want Free just go into settings turn automatic time and date off then set date a week in front come out of there go onto cc page you should have full lives, go back into settings put date and time back on auto, don't know if it works on my phone not tried it.
laha77's avatar
someone please tell why when I lose on level 99 , the screen sets up where I lost . for about 3 sec. before I get the retry screen.
Robyn M Cain's avatar
Why are there bombs that do nothing but end your game?
Mr. wuggles's avatar
Another tip that might help is to reset your board (if your device allows this) until you have a board that is allows you to easily clear those first two bombs.

Need help help level 361! Now!
Abby Bezuidenhout's avatar
This sucks - i reached a score of 140 000 with 2moves left cleared all the jelly and yet I still failed because i had no more moves that allowed me to clear a bomb. So you may not allow a bomb to go off even you reached a goal with clearing all the jellies. This is impossible especially if they don't give you a good hand and you can't make stripped candies or colour bombs. Very frustrating
okkimbo's avatar
Keep track of the number of moves you have left. If the number of moves you have left is fewer than the count on the bombs than you can worry about clearing the jelly instead.
Barancy Peloma's avatar
Simple fact is that most of the time, you don't even have a chance before the game starts. Sometimes those stupid bombs are unreachable and there's nothing you can do about it. And then getting to the jelly? It's all pure luck getting a perfectly set up board. If you don't have it- you're screwed and you might as well quit.
