Candy Crush Saga is one of the most popular mobile games of all time, and for good reason! This highly addictive match-three puzzle game has been a staple app on iOS and Android phones since its launch in 2012. There are a number of Candy Crush games players may not be aware of if they don't have not reached a specific level. If you've ever wanted to know exactly what these games are, you've come to the right place.
With over 8000 levels currently available in Candy Crush Saga, we can forgive fans for not being aware of every one of them. Returning Candy Crush players may not know that King, the game's developer, removed one of these modes because it was too difficult. Despite this change, there are still plenty of Candy Crush games to give you a hard time.

HERE ARE all the CANDY CRUSH GAMES:
Moves
Moves levels are the very first Candy Crush games you come across. In this mode, you only have a set number of moves before the game ends. If you fail to reach the minimum score threshold in the allotted number of moves, you lose. Completing this game mode with all remaining moves activates Sugar Crush, turning the special candies you've earned into bonus points.
jelly
Jelly levels rely on movement by forcing you to destroy any space filled with jelly in a certain amount of moves. You can destroy any space filled with jelly by linking three pieces of candy together. These tiers are introduced at level six and can wreak havoc if you're unlucky with how your candies land.
Completing these stages with additional moves spawns Jelly Fish, eating the remaining candy on the stage. For each Jelly Fish on the screen, the player receives 1020 points. One spare shot equals one Jelly Fish, so try to be as efficient as possible when clearing the board.
Ingredients
Ingredient levels spawn either a cherry or a nut (in some cases, both) that you need to reach at the bottom of the board. You will encounter Ingredients modes at level 11. Similar to Moves, you only have a certain number of turns to get these ingredients.
Each ingredient is worth 10 points, in addition to the points you've earned with matching candies. All remaining moves I convert candy pieces on the board into striped candies, awarding 000 points each.
Candy order
Candy Order levels impose a turn limit, requiring you to collect a specific number of candy, blocker, and candy combinations. This is the first mode to introduce blockers, a special type of item that prevents you from accessing candies. It's important to remove blockers as soon as possible because it makes clearing the rest of the level much easier.
You have to play for a while to see Candy Order levels as they first appear at level 126. Collecting candies in this mode is simple, just clear the candies. The only time this doesn't apply is when the candy is eaten by the chocolate, but that's the only exception. All remaining moves turn random candies into striped candies.
Mixed modes
As the name suggests, Mixed Modes levels take the two modes listed above and mix them together. The Candy Crush Saga community generally refers to these levels as the hardest in the entire game, which is why they are introduced at level 656. Some of the combinations include: "Clear all jellies and collect all ingredients" and " Clear all jellies and collect all commands”.
Rainbow Rapids
As the newest mode, Rainbow Rapids levels are currently the rarest type of level in the game. You must collect all the rainbow candies by filling each of the molds found on the board. Following the Rainbow Streams to Candy Cannon reveals the Candy Mold, though it's almost always blocked by tricky blockers such as Waffles and Licorice Swirls. The first stage Rainbow Rapids spawns at level 7,116.
Timed levels
Timed levels are no longer part of Candy Crush Saga as of 2018. These levels require players to achieve a specific score within the given time period, but most players find these stages incredibly difficult and stressful. Following player feedback, King decided to remove this game mode entirely.
Longtime gamers may remember timed levels as the only levels in the game that don't have a turn limit. You could smash additional special candies that granted the clock an extra five seconds, but those candies didn't spawn often enough for most people.
And that's it for Candy Crush games. If King decides to add new modes, we'll be sure to update this guide.
