Have you read our guide to swapping ingredients across columns yet? If not, check out our tips and hints page. To give you a quick overview, if you get an ingredient stuck on top of a meringue (and you’re likely to) you’ll need to get one of five combinations to get it clear. One example: to crush the meringue you’ll need to break candies above it, so you’ll be looking for this:

ANY – CANDY – ANY CANDY – INGREDIENT – CANDY
Then you’d move the ingredient upwards to match three candies over the meringue.

The trick to this level is to focus on the center 3 columns and to ensure your ingredients fall in the center – ingredients appear after 15 moves, so your 3rd ingredient will appear on the screen when you have 35 moves left. Strategically placed striped candies can help you a lot this level, as can the luck of the draw. It’s not a nice level, and it may take a few tries, but eventually you’ll hit on the right combinations.

• In this level you need to bring all the ingredients down to the bottom.
• Work in the 3 center columns to ensure that your candy will fall down there.
• Start clearing meringues from the side so there is a path for candy.
• Make vertical stripped candies to help clear the ingredient in once move.
• Make combo candies to help clear meringues and ingredients.
• Don’t waste your moves and don’t get ingredients stuck on top of meringues.

Candy Crush Level 152 is one of the harder levels in the Gingerbread Glade episode. To beat level 152, you must bring down 2 cherries and 2 hazelnuts and score 40,000 points. This level features 3 layer meringues which cover pretty much the entire lower left and right hand sides of the board. There is a single open space in the middle where you can bring down ingredients.

Most people will try and clear all the meringues to get the ingredients down to the bottom but.. this way is much harder. With only 50 moves you are not likely to destroy all these meringues and get the ingredients to the bottom. Instead, you will have to move the ingredients to the center of the board and then move them to the bottom. you should take your time and carefully plan your moves and get those ingredients to the middle.

Once you start working then ingredients to the bottom middle, you will actually start destroying the meringues as you bring down the ingredients. This will help you also by clear a couple more spaces for the ingredients to move down to. For a walk-through video on how to beat level 152, view below.
