To beat Level 24 in Candy Crush Saga, your main priority is clearing all board jelly within your limited move allowance. Achieve this by concentrating matches in the center and lower sections of the board to set off automatic cascades, while using four-candy matches to generate Striped Candies that sweep entire rows or columns.

Focusing Central and Bottom Matches

Concentrating your moves in the center of the board gives you the maximum room to set up matches. Edge moves rarely affect the rest of the board, so avoid making edge matches unless they directly eliminate an isolated jelly piece.

Making matches near the bottom of the board is equally effective:

  • Trigger Automatic Cascades: As bottom candies clear, the board shifts downward, allowing new candies to fall into place and potentially clear jellies automatically without spending moves.
  • Maintain Grid Control: Lower board adjustments give you a clearer view of how falling candies land, making it easier to spot potential multi-candy setups.

Use guaranteed special candy creations over unpredictable cascades whenever both options appear on the board.

Creating and Holding Striped Candies

Four-candy matches in a single row or column create Striped Candies, which serve as your primary tool for clearing hard-to-reach jelly squares in Level 24.

  • Match Four Candies: Align four candies horizontally or vertically to form a Striped Candy.
  • Hold Strategic Activations: Do not detonate a Striped Candy immediately if its line currently misses your main jelly targets.
  • Align before Triggering: Wait for board shifts or make intermediate matches until the Striped Candy aligns directly with the row or column containing the remaining jelly. Spending one turn to align a Striped Candy saves multiple moves later in the round.

Managing Moves in the Late Stage

High scores do not complete Level 24; clearing the final jelly does. As your move counter runs low, adjust your decision-making to prioritize objective progress over score potential:

  1. Scan the Board: Look across the grid for existing setup opportunities before making quick three-candy matches.
  2. Prioritize Jelly Matches: Direct matches on remaining jelly squares always take priority over high-scoring combinations that clear open space.
  3. Target Isolated Squares: Shift all available moves to clearing stubborn corner or edge jellies directly if no special candies are available to sweep them.
