To beat Level 6 in Candy Crush Saga, you must clear every translucent jelly square on the board before your move counter runs out. Reaching the required score alone will not clear the stage; any remaining jelly results in defeat. Because Level 6 features single-layer jellies, each square clears after a single direct match or special candy blast.
Level 6 Move Priority
Before making a swap, check the board for direct matches on jelly tiles. When no direct clears are available, work low on the board to encourage automatic matches.
- Clear jellies directly: Match three or more candies sitting directly on top of a jelly tile.
- Form Striped Candies: Match four candies in a line to create a Striped Candy that can clear an entire row or column.
- Make matches low on the board: Swapping candies in the bottom third of the board causes candies above to drop, triggering cascades that frequently clear jellies for free.
- Trigger special candy combinations: Combining two special candies sweeps large portions of the board in a single turn.
Special Candies for Clearing Jelly
Special candies let you target isolated jelly squares along the edges without spending multiple turns positioning normal candies.
| Special Candy | Creation Requirement | Board Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Horizontal Striped Candy | Match 4 candies vertically | Clears an entire horizontal row of candies and jellies |
| Vertical Striped Candy | Match 4 candies horizontally | Clears an entire vertical column from top to bottom |
| Wrapped Candy | Match 5 candies in an L or T shape | Explodes twice in a 3x3 radius |
| Color Bomb | Match 5 candies in a straight line | Removes all candies of one color from the board |
Pairing a Striped Candy with a Wrapped Candy creates a giant cross beam that clears three full rows and three full columns simultaneously.
How to Get Three Stars on Level 6
Finishing the level with moves remaining triggers Sugar Crush. Each unused move converts into bonus Fish or Striped Candies that detonate across the board, providing significant score spikes without using additional turns. To secure a three-star rating, focus on rapid jelly removal rather than chasing raw score matches. Ending the level with five or more moves to spare typically ensures enough Sugar Crush points to reach the three-star threshold.
