There are a number of different special candies that you can get in each stage. One of them is the striped candy. The vertical striped candy, if you use it in a combo, will clear out all blocks above and below it, and the horizontal striped candy will clear out all blocks to the left and to the right of it. You can get this candy by making a combo of 4. If you make a combo of 5, you’ll get a sprinkled candy, which, if you combine it with a certain color, will eliminate all candy of that same color on the screen.

If you make two combinations at the same time using one candy (one horizontal combination and one vertical combination), you’ll earn a wrapped candy. If you use the wrapped candy in a combo, you will blow up all candies within a 5×5 radius (with the center of the radius being the wrapped candy).

If you combine two special candies together, they will have even better effects. If you combine one horizontal striped candy and one vertical striped candy, you’ll eliminate all candies above, below, to the left and to the right of the candy that you dragged. If you combine two of the same striped candy, you’ll eliminate all of the candies either above and below, or to the left and to the right of the two candies.

If you combine two of the wrapped candies together, you’ll blow up all of the candies in a 9×9 square, with the wrapped candy that you dragged being in the center of the square. If you combine a wrapped candy and a striped candy together, you’ll turn them into two giant striped candies, which will eliminate almost every single candy on the screen. This last one is the best and most effective combo that you can do.
