Play Candy Crush Saga for just a couple of minutes and prepare to become hopelessly addicted. This Candy Crush Saga cheats and tips guide to help you get the most from this outstanding title.

Matching Three Candies Is Great, But Four Or More Is Awesome

Let's face it, matching three similarly colored pieces of candy is child's play. If you really want to boost your score, match four or five. Matching four generates a special candy that, when combined with two other pieces of the same color, eliminates a whole row. Five, on the other hand, produces a special candy that, when matched, destroys all similarly-colored pieces on the entire board.

Tip: Combine special candies for screen-clearing effects.

Keep A Close Eye On Number Of Turns

You only have a specific number of turns to complete a stage, which the game displays at the bottom of the screen. Definitely keep tabs on it at all times. In fact, you should consider that number with each turn.

Don't Waste Turns

It's so easy to match candies thinking you're doing a great job, when it's the exact opposite. If the remaining piece of jelly (more on that in a bit) is on the lower left corner of a gigantic puzzle, don't waste turns by matching candies on the top right.

Tip: You must reach a certain number of points to beat a puzzle.

Jelly Doesn't Move

This is an easy mistake. During the jelly-themed levels, the actual jelly blocks cannot be moved. Instead, you're able to maneuver the different pieces of candy. Always think about the best possible ways to remove jelly by strategically putting different candies in place.

Losing Comes With Great Consequence

When you first begin to play Candy Crush Saga, the game only supplies you with a certain number of turns; think of these as lives. Once those run out, you have three options: put the game down and wait for more lives to appear, ask Facebook friends for free lives or purchase more for $0.99.

You Need To Unlock And Pay For Boosters

Just because you unlocked a power-up, known as a Booster, doesn't mean the game will just give it away for free. Each one costs money. Boosters include:

• Jelly Fish ($1.99): Adds jelly fish to candy, then clears three pieces of jelly when matched.
• Extra Moves ($0.99): Adds five extra moves to a puzzle.
• Lollipop Hammer ($1.99): Smash candy to remove it.

Consider Buying Charms

These special items are yours to keep, and greatly impact the game. The first, Charm of Life ($16.99), increases your lives from five to eight.

The Game Displays Matches

If you take too long making a move, the game will spotlight potential matches. These pieces of candy will pulse, making them easy to spot, but watch out. Depending on the objective, these moves may not be in your best interest.
