Candy Crush Level 497 Cheats

• This level isn’t very difficult but it is about optimizing your moves.


• The level is played on a small board: there are a group of candies surrounded by a ring of meringues. At the bottom are two color bombs, and outside of the board area are four wrapped candies.

• Start the level by making easy matches of three that are adjacent to the meringues to clear them.
• Also form special candies all over the board to cut through the meringues.
• Once the meringues are cleared you will have more board and additional candies to make matches that form wrapped candies.
• You can use the color bombs in the bottom corners to take out the four wrapped candies on the outskirts of the board.
• The four wrapped candies are only made up of two different colors, so if you match each color bomb with each color you will be able to clear all four of the wrapped candies.
• This will give you half of the amount of wrapped candies that you need to reach your goal.
• Once you have eliminated the jelly candies, simply continue to make matches that will form wrapped candies.
• Wrapped candies are formed by making a match in an L-shape. This shouldn’t be too hard because of the square nature of the board.
