Candy Crush Soda Saga: How to Win Without Spending Money

This article is over 10 years old and may contain outdated information

We have already shared a bunch of Candy Crush Soda Saga tips that will surely help you up your game at least a little bit and win without spending any real money, but I believe that a special article for this is required. Therefore, I am here to share with you a complete guide on how to play Candy Crush Soda Saga and win without spending money.

It’s true, in some cases, spending a few bucks will give you the easy way out, but if you really are on a budget or you simply want to prove to yourself that it can be done completely free (and it can!) then you will surely find our tips and tricks below really useful.

So, without further ado, here is what you have to do in order to win at Candy Crush Soda Saga without spending real money!

Add more friends
Probably the most important and also one of the easiest things you can do is to add your Facebook friends and get extra hearts from them. These allow you to replay levels sooner than if you were to simply wait for a refill, and replaying levels is the key to completing them (and/or getting the three star rewards). Since it’s all about the tiles in Candy Crush Soda Saga and they are randomized in each level, you will eventually have Lady Luck smile upon you and get some great tile drops that will allow you to quickly complete a level!

Grind on the levels
I sure hope that you like this game, because you’ll have a lot of replaying to do. The nice thing is that it’s completely free and eventually you will get there: it might take you 20 tries or more, but you will get there and either beat the level or get that three star rating you were hoping for. It’s free and it’s fun, so keep on playing the same level over and over again until you get it right!

Strategize
You don’t have a time limit to complete a level, so make sure you take your time and you analyze all possible moves. Decide if it’s better to create a match upwards or downwards and make sure that each move you make is the absolute best. Just randomly making matches won’t get you too far, so spend your time on each move and do it right!

Watch YouTube videos
Even though each player will get a different set of tiles every time they play, some levels are trickier simply because of how the board is created. The YouTube videos that show you how to complete a specific levels – or at least some of them – give you some valuable tips and tricks on what to focus on that particular stage, and that’s always a bonus.

These are some easy tips to follow in order to win at Candy Crush Soda Saga without spending any money. It can be done!
