Hints and tips showing how to pass level 1489 Candy Crush Saga without boosters.
You need to clear all the blockers and popcorns as there is jelly under them, including the Spawner in the middle.
You don't need to worry too much about the spawner blocking your moves at the start as it can't get past the pocorns so can only cover the middle part with marmalade.
Colour bomb/stripe combos are the best, but try to get as may candies the same colour as the stripe on the board as you can before you switch them. With luck this will hit the spawner as well as some of the popcorns.
Once you begin to clear the popcorns the marmalade will be able to escape and will begin to cover the candies outside the middle area, so watch out for that.
You get 50 moves to clear all the jelly. You have one evil spawner that spits out jelly and marmalade right in the center of an island sandwiched between 2 popcorns. The only real option is to do side blasts with horizontal stripes or stripe/wrap combos to get the spawner, or use your hammers to get the spawner.
Chocolate bombs and stripes are really powerful for this level. If you can time it to where the two popcorns above and below the spawner only need more hit at the time the spawner blows up then you will have a double chocolate bomb combo set up, you may need to get rid of a candy or two in between but it's worth it. That would be 2 hits to each popcorn before the spawner blows up and then the spawner explosion will be the third.
With the small play area and 5 colors , many times I would use half my moves without getting one stripe opportunity so luck is definitely a factor on winning this board. If you do want to use your hammer boosters the spawner takes 5 and each popcorn takes 3.
