Editing How to Beat Candy Crush Level 170 (section)

== Strategy ==

1. '''Focus on Unlocking Cherries'''
   At the start of the level, you need to unlock and bring down the cherries. This requires creating matches near the locked ingredients to break the blockers and allow the cherries to fall[3].

2. '''Create Special Candies'''
   Forming special candies is crucial for clearing the board efficiently:
   - Striped candies: Particularly useful for reaching jellies and ingredients in hard-to-reach places[10]
   - Wrapped candies: Effective for clearing larger areas
   - Color bombs: Can clear entire colors, potentially causing a chain reaction

3. '''Combine Special Candies'''
   Whenever possible, try to combine special candies for more powerful effects:
   - Striped + Wrapped: Clears three rows and three columns
   - Color Bomb + Striped: Turns all candies of the same color into striped candies and activates them

4. '''Prioritize Lower Sections'''
   Focus on making matches in the lower part of the board. This strategy helps to bring down ingredients and create cascading effects[7].

5. '''Watch for Opportunities'''
   Pay close attention to the board and plan your moves ahead. Look for potential matches that could lead to special candy creation or bring down ingredients[6].

6. '''Use Vertical Striped Candies'''
   When possible, create and use vertical striped candies to clear columns, which can be particularly effective in bringing down cherries[8].
