Candy Crush Saga Level 65.

2nd Video made by Adrian Gardner.
This video shows 2 games back to back. The first starts with an almost perfect board but he doesn't manage to complete the game, although with 3 extra moves it would have been possible. (he says)!

The second game starts badly but with careful planning he manages to complete it..

Watch carefully to see WHY he makes the moves he does.

Some moves may not look like the best ones, but he is always planning ahead to make specials and combos and clearing the "sticky out" squares whenever possible.

Some moves will trigger other matches or cause cascades to clear more jelly. 

Watch a few times to get the idea of tactics..

Tips for level 65 

by Adrian Gardner.

First make sure you've read all the hints-n-tips already here. 

When playing your immediate priority is 

getting rid of the chocolate ... remember ANY move which 

directly/indirectly removes one (or more) pieces of choc will 

stop it advancing. 

This level simply can't be done with lots of 

lines-of-three, so DON'T focus on the jelly / unlocking the 

"trapped" cells ... just make specials or set up combos ... 

use specials quickly (either alone if you can't get them near 

each or other, or in combo if you can). By about half way 

through most of the locked cells should be free, and a lot of 

the jelly down one level/gone - then focus on what's left. 

Always play from the bottom (so cascades have max chance 
to do additional damage) BUT try and clear the jelly from the 

top/sides where you can. Good luck

The one level a high % of players fear and struggle with. 

But I finally found a trick to beat this level, sadly it requires a lot of luck. 

If you get a good start, get a colourbomb+striped candy combo immediately, this should do good damage to the side candy and knock out most of the chocolate. 

If there's no luck forming the combo, the main target is to take out the chocolate first before it expands, so any form of combo you can use will help.

Candy Crush Saga LEVEL 65: Hints and Tips

This is one of  the hardest levels on CCS, since it appears so early in the game.
First priority I took care of is the chocolate at the top 2 corners. If it's not taken off for a certain period of time, the pathway will be blocked, making it difficult to progress and in most cases, you'll have to restart (unless you can form such a combo, like the colour bomb+stripped seen in Fig.1)

If you like and if you're lucky, you can wipe out all the chocolate at the beginning fast, so it'll make it easier for you to removes the candy on the side, or form combos, but in most cases, it won't be possible so I would suggest only using this method if you get a lucky start off.

Don't waste any time creating wrapped candy, unless it's paired close to a striped, or near the bottom. The best combos for this level is colour bomb+striped, or 2 striped together. Another tricky method is to place the striped candy into one of the sides, in a position where it can damage the other sides.

                                     

Eventually, you'll be able to take down this level (but you will face this level again later on with different circumstances)
