Level 1696 is the eleventh level in Sugar Shrubs and the 403rd candy order level. To pass this level, you must collect 33 frosting layers in 22 moves or fewer.
When you complete the level, Sugar Crush is activated and will score you additional points.
There are 25 frosting layers provided, and eight lucky candies under bubblegum pops. As they only reveal one-layered frosting, all must be opened and their contents destroyed.
Clearing the lucky candies is easy enough, but clearing the provided frosting is hard especially with five colours.
Follow by hitting the frosting, and continue digging downwards. To do this fast enough, you need some luck.
If the stars align, spend your remaining moves clearing any remaining frosting.
If you want to get past this level quickly with boosters, consider using the lucky candy.
Trivia[]
This is officially (since the first iteration of Level 1611, where non-spawning blocker orders were introduced) the first level with a "semi-spawning" blocker order. A semi-spawning blocker order is one that requires a blocker that appears on the starting board, but not enough of it appears to complete the order. Therefore lucky candies are required to complete a blocker order even though the blocker appears on the board. Levels where the blocker spawns from cannons, magic mixers, or chocolate fountains don't count as semi-spawning blocker orders, it only counts if lucky candies are the only method of spawning the remaining quantity of the blocker.
