Level 174 was the fourth level in Cotton Carnival and the 82nd jelly level in Dreamworld. To pass this level, you must clear 21 double jelly squares in 15 moves or fewer.
When you complete the level, Sugar Crush is activated and will score you additional points.
All single jelly squares are replaced by double jelly squares.
The moon scale is unstable in this level, so cascades may tip the moon scale over if not controlled.
Moon struck may remove one or two candy bombs at the top for you, but not all of them unless some lucky cascades occurs.
The jellies are worth 42,000 points.[1] Hence, an additional 8,000 points is required to earn one star.

Strategy[]
There are a few reasons to work on the bottom first, the most obvious being that you can trigger our beloved cascades more easily there. Even jelly higher up in the puzzle will not be safe. More importantly, though, the bottom of this board is covered in frosting that can be easily penetrated. Get rid of it quickly to open up the board for more cascades and special candy formation.
You do not need to worry about the candy bombs right away, since they are set to go off one turn before the end of the level, but removing them with special candies will also help you get rid of jelly at the same time. Once you have successfully opened up one or both sides of the board, make striped candies and look for any opportunity to make a colour bomb. The combination of these two will help you decimate the jelly in no time.
Beware the moon scale and take moon struck to your advantage.
