I see this kind of tip everywhere, especially here: “Just make a lot of vertically striped candies! You’ll be fine!” This is sort of true, but not always. If there are resistant blockers in the bottom row, like a licorice X or double layer of meringue, the ingredient will just fall onto the blocker, and then you have almost no way to remove that last obstacle. Happens to me way too often.
Use your special candies scrupulously, people! Make deliberate moves and don’t get too hasty. Thinking ahead is what separates us from the animals.
