There are some tiles, like bombs or chocolate, which should always be eliminated first if they exist on the board. These will inhibit your progress or cause you to lose. Bombs end the game if not eliminated in the move limit specified on their face, while chocolate will multiply if not destroyed. Like chess, you'll need to think several moves ahead in Candy Crush Saga. Unless the level is timed, spend a few minutes looking for potential combinations and considering the results of making certain matches. This may take a while at first, but the more you play, the quicker you'll recognize patterns and opportunities. You will have many levels where the game board is not a perfect rectangle, or includes a number of gaps in the board. You will need to plan around these gaps, and they can make it incredibly difficult to make paired sets. Once you become better acquainted with the game, you will be able to tell when a game board will be too difficult to complete. You can reshuffle the board using boosters or by exiting the game before you perform any moves. The game will make move suggestions if you idle for too long. These suggestions are random and it will usually be in your best interest to ignore them. If you don't have a time limit, take the time to find out if there is a better move available. If you are only trying to increase points before a time limit runs out, take the game's suggestion.

Summary: Eliminate complicated or dangerous candies from the board first. Look at the whole board before making a move. Pay attention to the edges of the game board. Reshuffle the board if it looks too challenging. Ignore the suggestions the game makes.

If the stucco has been applied recently, it needs to have a chance to dry and settle before you begin making any improvements. That way, you can ensure that it will be structurally stable by the time you're ready to paint over it. Avoid touching the stucco as it dries. Your installer may choose to keep a protective scaffolding up over the wet surface during this time. Environmental moisture can slow down the drying process. Consider waiting an additional 1-2 weeks if you live in an area that receives a lot of rainfall. Make a mental note of any areas that are stained, crumbling, or peeling. It's important to be aware of these spots, as they'll likely require extra attention when you start painting. If the stained or crumbling section isn't readily obvious, mark it with a piece of colored painter's tape so you'll be able to find it easily later on. Fill small hairline cracks with elastomeric caulk by running the tip of a loaded caulk gun along the length of the crack while slowly releasing the caulk. For larger spots, you may need to use a thick stucco or concrete patching compound. These products are designed to hold more firmly and last longer than silicone fillers. Use a hand trowel or putty knife to smooth the fresh patching compound until it matches the texture of the surrounding surface. If you run into any heavily damaged areas, you may need to fix them by applying a new layer of stucco. Contact the original installer to see what course of action they recommend. Spray the surface from one end to the other, working your way from top to bottom. This will remove whatever dust, dirt, grime, or mold has built up on the textured material over time. It will also blast away any loose paint left over from previous touch ups. To avoid chipping or wearing away the stucco, set your pressure washer to a low pressure setting (1,200-1,500 psi will be ideal for most surface) and use a wide spray tip. Be sure to angle the nozzle away from windows, door frames, light fixtures, and any other features that may be damaged by the stream. This may take hours or days, depending on the weather conditions where you live and how much area you covered with the pressure washer. Stucco is a porous material, which allows it to dry quickly, but it also holds more moisture as a result. Once no more water is visible on the surface, perform a touch test to see if it's still wet. If the stucco feels slightly tacky or cool to the touch, it probably needs more time.

Summary: Let new stucco rest for at least 60 days. Inspect the stucco for imperfections. Repair any existing cracks or holes in the surface. Pressure-wash the stucco 15-30 days after making your repairs. Allow the stucco to dry completely.
