Level 14

Level 14 is the fourth level in Candy Factory and the 7th jelly level. To pass this level, you must clear 57 single jelly squares in 35 moves or fewer. It is a Hard Level marked by King. When you complete the level, Sugar Crush is activated and will score you additional points.

Difficulty
This is the second level rated "Hard" by King, because there are so much jellies to clear! Although there are 35 moves, it is not difficult to fail this level. The corner and middle column jellies are the hardest to clear. Five colors and a fairly large board space makes it quite easy to create special candies, and cascades occur often, but without a good combo or two they usually won't hit the corner and middle column jellies. There are two cuts above and below the middle, which is what makes it hard.

Tips

 * 1) Playing from the bottom of the board is essential for cascades and special candies to occur, but this doesn't help at all in clearing the middle column. The cascades and specials that do occur, hopefully, will create optimum effect that does some damage to the middle.
 * 2) Your best combination is the striped + wrapped combo. For the best results, place it in the middle of the large, easy-to-clear region of jellies (that is, to the left or right of the middle column). It will clear the middle column as well as the entire region. Another striped/wrapped combo in the other region will guarantee victory.
 * 3) Unless you have some powerful special candy or combos to make (that is, striped/wrapped, color bomb, color bomb/striped, color bomb/wrapped, or color bomb/color bomb), clear the harder-to-reach jellies when you have the chance.
 * 4) It is important to try the combos listed in Step 3. You can also try a double wrapped combo, but if there are no jellies near it, it isn't worth a try. The same goes with double striped combos, which you would definitely trade for a double wrapped.
 * 5) Making normal 3-matches will make this level quite difficult. You will definitely need cascades and specials. This is one of the first levels where you might be forced to make useless matches.
 * 6) After reading all this, you will probably realize that even a striped candy in the correct area can clear some harder-to-reach jelly. Try these tips as fast as possible for a bigger swarm of jelly fish.

1 Star: 45,000 Points

2 Stars: 75,000 Points

3 Stars: 100,000 Points

Difficulty of Earning More Stars

 * The presence of five colors makes it easy to create special candies.
 * The jellies are worth 57,000 points. Hence, an additional 18,000 points for two stars and an additional 37,000 points for three stars have to be earned through matching of candies.
 * There are single jellies which make it harder to increase the point multiplier by sustaining cascades.
