The frog in Candy Crush, also called the Candy Frog, is the helping Candy you need to complete tricky levels and win. It is ideally a frog-shaped candy that gets its powers from eating too much Candy, from which it can combine with other candies and create different special effects.
You’ve probably come across the frog in Candy Crush, and you may have ignored it severally or just gone with the flow, but you aren’t 100% sure what it is or how to use it to come up with a winning strategy. Well, you’re lucky because this article takes you through everything you should know about the Candy Frog. You should also know that while every Candy is essential in Candy Crush, some are boosters and others are blockers. Candy Frog is the former, and we’ll guide you through everything you should know about winning using the Candy Frog.
What is the purpose of the frog in Candy Crush?
Candy Frog is one of the helping candies that allows you to win a level. The frog is also essential when trying to get through the tricky levels in the game.
Candy Frog also helps crush the rest of the candies on the level you’re currently playing, mainly when dealing with candies in hard-to-reach space; especially when you cannot get through the level with the regular candy matches.
What makes the Candy Frog special?
One of the notable features of the Candy Frog is that this frog never disappears when you match it with Candy. Gravity also does not affect the frog. So, even when the space below it is empty, the frog stays in place, with the candies on either side of the frog dropping down to the gap left behind.
At the same time, the candies sitting on the tile above the frog will stay put unless these candies fall on the gaps on the sides.
How do you move the frog in candy crush?
You can only move the frog when it’s full. So, make sure that the frog eats Candy to its fill. You can tell that the Candy Frog is full when it belches, pulsates, shines, and/or has rings or circles around it – this is called the Frogtastic state, and you will hear the frogtastic voice from the frog. The best part is that you can move the Candy Frog in the frogtastic state.
To move the frogtastic frog, click on the frog, then choose one tile you’d want the frog to go to. The frog will then jump off its initial board, landing on the selected tile with an explosive effect. It will also take with it the 9 candies around the tile in the 3*3 area – this area looks pretty much like a piece of one big, wrapped Candy. After this colorful show, the frog changes color.
That said, you could move the smaller Candy frog without special effects. You can do this by placing it on the conveyor belt and moving it in the same direction as the direction of your last move or the end move.
How to Make the Candy Frog happy
For Candy Frog to help you get past the challenging level you may be on; you must make Candy Frog happy. You can do this by feeding it with Candy. But you can’t feed it with any candy; the candies you feed your Candy Frog should be the same color as your frog. You could also move the Candy Frog, although you need to ensure that you match the frog with two or more matching candies.
What happens when you combine Candy Frog with special candies Special Effects
Have you noticed that your Candy Frog takes on a unique and special effect when it sits alongside specific candies? Check out this table for insights into what happens when you combine the special Candy with the candy frog.
| Candy Combination | Special Effects |
| Wrapped Candy + Candy Frog | After moving the frog, it changes into a wrapped candy, bursting and clearing all the candies in the 3*3 area. |
| Color Bomb + Candy Frog | The Candy Frog changes into a brown color bomb with brightly colored sprinkles if you swap it with different Candy. When this happens, a color-bomb effect comes to life. |
| Striped Candy + Candy Frog | The frog will have a white stripe on the next level or match. It will shoot Striped Candy, clearing an entire row for the Candy with horizontal stripes or an entire column for the Candy with vertical stripes. |
That said, you need to know that even in that stuffed frogtastic state, your Candy Frog would still match with other candies, although it won’t create any of the three special effects above. However, the special effect comes to life immediately if you feed the frogtastic frog with one of the special effect candies.
How to use the frog in Candy crush
You will be happy to know that you utilize the power of the Candy Frog as many times as you wish. This is because the frog changes color every time you move it. And when it changes color, you need to feed the new frog candy in the color it takes. Once full and in the frogtastic encircled state, you can move it. It will take on a different color, and you get to repeat this process repeatedly for as long as you play.
You should know that you can feed the frog in the frogtastic mode as often as you’d like, but the frog must move to the left side on each level you are playing.
Note that you could also power up the Candy Frog. To give your Candy Frog extra power on the level you are playing, consider feeding it with Special Candy like the Color Bomb or the Striped Candy.
How to destroy the Frog in Candy crush
To crush or destroy the frog in Candy Crush, feed it with as many candies as possible. Essentially, you need to feed it with candies in the same color as your frog; but it is also possible to move the frog as you match it with two or more candies. As mentioned above, the frog is ready to move in frogtastic mode. So, when the frog starts pulsing, move it by clicking on it and then clicking on the tile, you wish to move it to. When you do this, the frog will crush the blockers and candies on the selected tile and the other 8 tiles around the frog. Just note that it only changes color and size, but you cannot destroy it completely.
How do you protect your Candy Frog?
If you notice that your Candy Frog appears as one of the targets on your path in the new level, you should feed it more and then move it instead of clearing or crushing it from the level you are currently playing.
Conclusion
If you have been struggling on some levels and weren’t sure how to play or maybe how to move the Candy Frog, I hope you now know what this Candy does and how to play with and around it. Just remember that you must keep feeding this frog.
