Candy Crush Level 42 Cheats

• Level 42 is an ingredient challenge, where 4 ingredients will need to be dropped out of the puzzle within 50 moves. There’s also a point minimum of 20,000, but you’ll get that easily one way or another. The important bit is the licorice Xs, which are spread across the board in a V with another row forming a second barrier underneath. You have to remove enough licorice cages so you can more easily make matches and combos.


• Once you remove the licorice cages, the ingredients will drop to the bottom easily. Concentrate on the cages that are directly underneath the first ingredient, since they’re the first obstacles each ingredient will face. If you need to start on the bottom, make sure you’re still removing licorice every chance you get and move back to the upper Xs soon.
• Make special candies and combos to defeat this level more easily. Vertical striped candies are, as usual, the most valuable; however, since they’ll only destroy a licorice X and not the candy underneath, they may not be able to remove an ingredient in one move like usual.
• A striped & wrapped combo is the best one to make, as it will clear out a tremendous amount of licorice and may remove multiple ingredients at once.
