Candy Crush Saga Level 114 Guide: How to Beat the Stage

To beat Candy Crush Saga Level 114, clear the multi-layered blockers at the bottom of the board first. Clearing the bottom opens exit lanes for the ingredients and triggers automatic cascades from the top. Once the lower lanes are clear, use vertical Striped Candies or a Color Bomb combined with a Striped Candy to guide every ingredient down to an active collection arrow.

Early Board Strategy: Clearing the Bottom

Level 114 begins with limited matching space because the lower rows are covered in blockers. If you spend turns making basic three-candy matches in the top rows, you will quickly run out of moves without progressing the board.

Focus your opening moves on breaking through the bottom obstacles:

1. Target bottom-row matches: Making matches directly adjacent to lower blockers damages obstacle layers while pulling candies down from the upper board.
2. Trigger cascades: Matches made low on the board shift entire columns above them, increasing the chance of free matches and accidental special candies.
3. Open drop lanes: Prioritize clearing columns that sit directly over collection arrows. An ingredient cannot exit through a blocked tile.
4. Churn the center: If no matches touch the bottom blockers, make matches in the center columns to cycle candies until lower combinations appear.

Best Special Candy Combinations

Single matches rarely deliver ingredients fast enough on this board. Build special candies in the wider upper area where pieces replenish freely, then trigger them to clear vertical tracks.

A vertical Striped Candy is your most efficient single tool. Positioning and detonating one in the same column as an ingredient clears every remaining tile between that ingredient and the bottom exit in a single turn.

Managing Ingredient Lanes

Ingredients spawn at the top of the board and must exit through bottom collection arrows. If an ingredient shifts or drops into a dead column—a lane without an exit arrow or one blocked by an empty gap—it will get stuck.

• Check the arrows before dropping: Confirm that the column beneath an ingredient has an active exit arrow before expending moves to drop it.
• Shift trapped ingredients early: If an ingredient falls into a dead-end lane, use horizontal matches to slide it sideways into an active column while it is still near the top or middle of the board. Lateral moves become much harder once an ingredient reaches the lower rows.
• Pace your collection: New ingredients typically spawn as previous ones make downward progress. Focus on completely clearing exit paths for your first ingredients so later drops can fall straight through without stalling.

Closing Out the Final Moves

When you reach the last eight to ten moves, evaluate remaining ingredient positions before making a switch:

• If an ingredient sits one or two tiles above an open exit arrow, look for a simple match directly beneath it rather than risking an unpredictable cascade.
• If multiple ingredients remain stuck several rows up, stop making localized three-candy matches. Dedicate your remaining turns to assembling a Color Bomb or a Striped combination to clear multiple lanes simultaneously.
