Level 182

You will think you have a real chance at getting this, and will fall short many times before actually completing it. First you've got the bombs in the upper left quadrant. Either you will lucky enough to be able to get rid of them quickly or you won't. Don't waste time agonizing to find ways to match them - time is too precious in this one. Also, don't worry about the chocolate either - ignore that quadrant and just let it fill up - it won't expand beyond there or put the game in danger.

The key here is to be looking for matches as quickly as you can, especially when it runs out of matches and has to shuffle - use that time to prepare looking for other matches. The other thing to look for is +5s - you will need the extra time they provide so match them before you lose them. Because the bottom right quadrant will fill with chocolate, most of the activity is on the left side, and that's OK. The sooner you can break through the cupcakes the better because it opens up more board and gives you more chances for matches, but again, don't agonize over that as a goal; just match as quickly as you can and it will happen.
