Newbies Guide..How to play Candy Crush Saga

Here's a simple guide to how to play Candy Crush Saga. 
Candy Crush Saga begins as a simple match three board game and gradually, by adding various obstacles and difficulties, becomes more and more challenging.

At the start the boards are fairly straightforward and the object is to score a minimum number of points.

Play consists of matching 3 or more candies of the same colour by switching them around.

The image below shows three possible switches.


The best switch in this instance is to move the blue candy in the centre to the right to make a line of four.
This will give a special striped candy which is explained in the Candy Combinations post.

A mainstay of the obstacles, which appears fairly early in the game and continues throughout, is Jelly!
Below you will see the middle block of squares is a lighter colour, this is jelly!


In all levels containing jelly it has to be removed..
To remove the jelly you simply need to match the candies contained in the jelly. 
The example above has only ONE layer of jelly.
Below is an example of a double layer of jelly, which has to be matched TWICE to remove it.



In the picture above the GREEN arrow shows jelly which has already been hit ONCE.
The WHITE arrow shows jelly which has not yet been hit.
Once all the jelly has been cleared totally the game is over.
As well as clearing the jelly you must accumulate enough points to get at least one star.
Watch the meter on the left of the game to see your points accumulate.



For information on other obstacles you will encounter please browse the menu on the right of this page and also see the video demo guides on the left.
