To beat Level 1339 in Candy Crush Saga, focus your opening moves on clearing multi-layered blockers in the bottom and center rows. Breaking these obstacles opens the board, restores downward candy flow, and allows you to build high-impact special candy combinations—particularly Color Bomb and Striped Candy pairings—to finish the remaining goals before running out of moves.

Opening Priority: Clearing Obstacles to Expand the Board

Level 1339 is classified as a Hard Level because heavy blocker placements severely restrict your initial grid space. With candy flow constricted at spawn points, simple three-candy matches near the top of the board waste moves without advancing the board state.

Address board obstacles in the following order:

  1. Central and lower blockers: Clearing these directly restores the vertical flow of fresh candies from the top spawners.
  2. Dividing obstacles: Breaking blockers that split the board connects separate lanes, creating space to form four- and five-candy matches.
  3. Corner and edge blockers: Clean these up once the main board is open, using special candy blasts rather than spending individual moves on edge matches.

Do not divert moves to isolated corner objectives until at least two-thirds of the board is open to free cascading.

High-Impact Special Candy Combinations

Standard three-candy matches cannot clear Level 1339 within the move limit. You must combine special candies to clear multi-layered blockers and reach locked tiles across the board.

Special Candy ComboTactical Role on Level 1339Board Effect
Color Bomb + Striped CandyPrimary stage clearerConverts all matching colored candies into stripes, clearing rows and columns board-wide.
Wrapped + Striped CandyObstacle breakthroughClears a three-row by three-column cross section to punch through thick blocker layers.
Wrapped + Wrapped CandyConcentrated removalTriggers two consecutive 5x5 explosions to destroy dense clusters of nearby obstacles.
Color Bomb + Wrapped CandyBoard reset and cascade triggerRemoves all candies of one color twice, causing major vertical cascades across open lanes.

A standalone Striped Candy can hit an isolated objective in an emergency, but saving specials to merge into combinations produces significantly higher clear efficiency per turn.

Move Economy and Bottom-Row Cascades

Whenever you lack a direct match against a priority blocker or special candy creation, make your match in the lowest available row.

Playing at the bottom of the board provides two distinct advantages:

  • Incidental matches: Dropping entire columns triggers automatic matches as candies fall, chipping away at blockers without expending extra moves.
  • Natural setups: Large column shifts rearrange the upper board, frequently generating alignments for Color Bombs and Wrapped Candies.

Only make a move in the top half of the board if it immediately creates a four- or five-candy special, detonates a critical combo, or directly clears an otherwise inaccessible obstacle.

Key Mistakes to Avoid

Runs on Level 1339 typically fail due to three avoidable errors:

  • Chasing isolated corner tiles early: Trying to clear tight edge blockers with standard matches burns moves rapidly. Wait until you can clear them indirectly using horizontal Striped Candies or a Color Bomb combination.
  • Detonating single specials early: Triggering a lone Wrapped or Striped Candy before the board has opened produces little value. Hold them to pair with another special candy unless detonating one immediately opens a blocked lane.
  • Allowing board bottlenecks to force reshuffles: Leaving thick blockers intact reduces available moves to one or two options per turn. If the game is forced to reshuffle the board, any pre-aligned special candies you have saved will be scattered. Keep the center rows open to retain control over where you make matches.
