Puzzles as far as the eye can see

Candy Crush Saga is very simple and beginner-friendly. When you start the game, you get a short tutorial where you learn how to swap adjacent candies by tapping and swiping. The goal here is to move the candies so that there is a row of at least three of the same candy. However, you should always keep an eye on the possibilities after bigger combos.

If you score a lot of points in one turn, you can unlock special candies, such as the striped candy. If you tap on this candy, all the candies in a row will be dissolved at once. With a chocolate bomb, on the other hand, you blow a hole in the candy wall so that new stones can move in.

If these little helps aren't enough for you, you can also unlock boosters to use in the levels. For example, a lollipop hammer can be used to remove a candy to move down a row and trigger a combo. You can use the Free Switch to swap two candies, even if they're not right next to each other. You can also make candy into a striped candy with the paint brush.

Even though the boosters are useful, you should keep them well. Because the special powers are rare and have to be worked hard for. That's why it's always worth trying to see if you can get further without a booster before you unpack your secret weapons.

You have five lives per level and can therefore try out different combinations to sweep the candies off the field with as many points as possible. Once the lives are completely used up, it takes half an hour per life until you can continue playing again. To avoid waiting, it can be worthwhile to use a booster. But then you should also be sure that you can actually solve the puzzle with the help.
