Candy Crush Saga Liquorice (Licorice) whorls.

Liquorice whorls are a nuisance more than anything. 

They take up spaces which lessens the area you have for candies to swap.


Getting rid of them is fairly easy. 

Simply match the candies in adjacent squares and they will dissolve, leaving a candy in the space. 

You can exchange them with normal candies to make a match, but they can't be matched with each other.

Once they are gone they don't come back, but more may fall down from the top of the board as you clear candies lower down.

They can be removed by specials....Striped, wrapped etc, but they stop striped candy blasts. 
Wrapper bombs will remove a 3 x 3 square of them and two colour bombs switched will remove all of them..

The striped candy blast will remove a liquorice whorl, but will go no further, so candy's behind the liquorice will not be touched.

Candy Crush Saga Liquorice/ Licorice



By Adrian Gardner.


Liquorice (licorice?) ... from level 81 this stuff appears, 
replacing candies. 




It can "fall" like normal candies and is destroyed when a 

match is made (by you, or as a consequence of one of your 

moves) next to it ... this can be on either side, above or 

below. 



Certain levels start with some and/or it falls "into" the
play area when back-filling the grid 

after you've played your move. 

You can also swap it with a normal candy to make a valid

move. 



However it differs from normal candies in two regards ...





One: It can't make groups of three (or more, etc) ... so it's 

like an unmatchable candy .... 

So three Liquorice in a row isn't a valid combo.


Two: It stops "blast" type combos ... so a striped candy

blast will hit the first liquorice it meets and STOP ...

Candies (or other liquorice) beyond the first will stay as they 

are ... this makes it quite hard to clear large numbers of 

them and restricts some of your combos.





Sadly there are few tricks to rid yourself of this annoyance ... 

Try and play near it so it gets removed. 

One special which WILL remove it ALL 

is a spotted-on-spotted ... 


Although getting two of these, AND next to each other,
(as you can't move them!), is a real challenge!



... and to think I used to like liquorice as a kid!
