Level Screen and Board
While engaged in a level, players are directed to the game interface, where elements such as the board, Star Meter, available boosters, remaining moves, and objectives are prominently displayed. In addition, most editions show the player’s current number of lives and the level number.
In the bottom left corner, a settings button is situated, housing the Quit Button. Utilizing this option leads to an exit from the level, incurring the immediate consequence of failing the level, losing a life, and potentially forfeiting event benefits.
Each level is structured around a 9×9 matrix board, containing an assortment of candies and auxiliary elements. Players execute candy swaps by either swiping the screen or cursor from the selected candy to the target candy. A successful swap results in candy matching, triggering various interactions with other candies and secondary elements depending on the candy types involved.
Type of levels in candy crush
Levels in Candy Crush Saga features four distinct types of levels, each with its specific objectives:
Previously, the game included two types of levels that have since been discontinued:
Levels can also fall under the category of Mixed Mode, signifying the presence of objectives derived from different single-type values.
Among these, Mixed levels are the most prevalent, constituting 39.63% of all levels. In contrast, Rainbow Rapids levels are relatively rare, comprising only 3.14% of the map. The table below displays the number of levels exclusively of a given type (or mixed levels), arranged in order of their first release and first appearance.

Sugar Crush
Refer to the main article for an in-depth exploration of Sugar Crush effects.
Each levels Candy Crush Saga concludes with distinct Sugar Crush effects:
- Jelly: For each remaining move, three jelly fish appear on the screen, consuming candies at random and granting 2,040 points for each candy eaten.
- Ingredients/Candy Order/Mixed Mode/Rainbow Rapids: These level types share a common effect. With every remaining move, a randomly chosen candy transforms into a striped candy, adding an extra 6,000 points for each newly created striped candy. Subsequently, all the striped candies activate simultaneously.
Dreamworld
The Dreamworld, an isolated realm within the Candy Crush Saga, encompassed levels 1 to 665, mirroring the main game’s levels with heightened difficulty—featuring more blockers introduced earlier in the game. This parallel universe presented players with challenges akin to the original levels but with added complexities. For detailed insights into Dreamworld levels, refer to the dedicated section for more specific information.

Trivia
Many people considered jelly levels the hardest level type before mixed levels were introduced.
Timed levels were the only levels in which you were not pressured by the number of moves you had. However, you had to make quick decisions to earn more stars.
Every level in the first 800 (soon to be 1175) has been redesigned at some point due to the mass redesign that has been taking place since late 2020.

Jelly levels are the most hated level type; they are hated in many ways and are one of the reasons the game is hard. Jelly levels are the second most common level type, making up 23.74% of the levels.
The episodes with the least jelly levels in Reality are Caramel Canyons (Episode 739) and Rainbow Reef (Episode 741) with both having none at all. The most are Lemonade Lake (Episode 3), Truffle Terrace, Barking Boutique, Butter Rum Reef, Candy Countdown and Popping Peninsula with 10, Tasty Treasury, Mount Chocolympus and Dainty Dunes with 11, and Minty Meadow (Episode 64) with 12.
Wafer Wharf was the episode that used to have the most candy order levels, with 10. In Dreamworld, it was Sparkle Submarino (the counterpart of that same episode) with 11. Now, the episodes with the most candy order levels are Sundae Stables, Peanut Pass and Swirly Steppes with 8 each. The episodes with no candy order levels are Minty Meadow (Episode 64), Lollipop Meadow (Episode 493), Milestone Meadow, and Lemonade Lake (Episode 894).
The episodes with the most ingredients levels are Easter Bunny Hills, Delectable Depths, Raspberry Races, Honey Hut, Candy Keep and Precious Pond having 6 each. The first episode to not contain any ingredients levels after their introduction is Blueberry Brush.
The three episodes with the most mixed mode levels are Caramel Canyons (Episode 739), Lemonade Lake (Episode 894), and Bubblegum Hill (Episode 975) with 11 each. The last episode to not contain any mixed mode levels is Popping Peninsula; hence, every episode after that contains at least one mixed mode level.
Candy Town, Minty Meadow (Episode 64), Milestone Meadow, Caramel Canyons (Episode 739), Rainbow Reef (Episode 741) and Lemonade Lake (Episode 894) are the only episodes which contain only two level types.
Level 65 became so famous once that several other levels based on level 65 were created, including levels 320 and 430.
Pre-nerf level 350, 440, 530, and 1520 were excruciating jelly levels that are world finales.
All the level numbers ending in 65 except 665 are hard or very hard. Level 65 used to be the most hated one ever, level 165 used to be a very hard candy order level, level 265 used to be a hard jelly level, level 365 used to be a very hard candy order level, level 465 is a hard ingredients level, level 565 is a hard jelly level, and level 765 used to be a very hard jelly level. However, this trend was broken when level 865 was released.
Most world finales are jelly levels.
Levels that contain the digits 1, 4, 7 have a pattern in which they form a hard level. Level 147, Pre-nerf level 417, and level 471 are all hard levels.
Levels in the iOS version are marked by a bubble looking element. Once the bubbles were opaque, but after the Meringue Moor update in late January 2014, the bubbles became translucent and more colourful.

Level 1247 is an extremely hard ingredient level.

Levels 112, 212, 312, 412, 512, 712, 1212, and 1412 are all candy order levels. However, level 612 was a moves level, level 812, 1112, and 1312 are ingredients levels, level 912 and 1012 are jelly levels.
Level 187, 287, 387, 487, 587, 987, 1487, 1587, and 1687 are all ingredients levels. However, Level 687, 787, 887, 1087, 1287, 1787, and 1887 are jelly levels, Level 87, 1187 and 2087 are candy order levels, and level 1987 is a mixed level breaking the trend in which levels ending in x87 are ingredients levels.
Levels 50, 54, 66, 91, 108, 117, 131, 161, 167, 170, 178, 184 and 193 are the ones in the first 200 levels to have 3 colours. They become more common after that.
Levels 2595, 2626, 2821 and 2882 are the only two-coloured levels in the first 200 episodes.
The most anticipated level was level 666, the number of the Devil. It is the opener of the 46th episode, Crunchy Courtyard, which was released on 3 September 2014.
Most people thought the level would be the hardest one in the game. However, when it was released, it was somewhat easy.
This level was originally supposed to be introduced in Dreamworld, but it was not released because Dreamworld ended at level 665.
The x01, x83, and x97 series are the only series to contain all level types:
Levels 1 and 1501 were moves levels, levels 201, 401, 501, 801, 1101, and 1701 are jelly, levels 101, 601, and 1001 are ingredients, levels 301, 701, 901, 1201, 1301, 1401, 1601, 2001, and 2101 are candy order, and levels 1801 and 1901 are mixed. So, all levels that end in 01 have all five level types in the game.
Levels 83, 183, 483, 1083, and 1183 are jelly levels, levels 283 and 683 were moves levels, levels 383, 1283, and 1383 are ingredients levels, levels 583, 783, 883, and 1483 are candy order levels, and level 983 was a moves level. Hence, all levels that end in 83 have all five level types in the game.
Level 97 and 297 were moves levels, levels 197, 597, 697, 797, 997, 1297, 1397, and 1497 are jelly levels, levels 897, 1097, and 1197 are ingredients levels, levels 397 and 497 are candy order levels. Therefore, all levels that end in 97 have all five level types in the game, too.
Levels 50, 150, 250, 350, 450, 550, 750, 850, 950, 1050, 1150, and 1350 are jelly levels. However, when level 650, 1250 and 1450 came out, they broke the x50 series.
Levels that end in 99 trend to be hard difficulty or higher. However, there are some exceptions of that. Level 99 is somewhat hard, 199 is very hard, 399 is hard, 499 is again hard, 599 is somewhat hard, 699 is very hard, 999 is hard, and it ends at 1199 which is very hard.
As of Taffy Treetops, each of the five level types has at least 100 levels.
As of Fudgy Fort, each of the five level types has at least 200 levels.
As of Candied Crust, each of the five level types has at least 300 levels.
As of Sprinkle Stronghold, each of the five level types has at least 400 levels.
Level 2825 was the final level for the Flash version; levels 2826 and higher are HTML5-exclusive.
