However, on web version, there is a glitch where locked swirls can be removed by an adjacent matching like common swirls. Unlike in Candy Crush Soda Sagaand Candy Crush Jelly Saga, these swirls keep their resistance even if locked. Starting from level 1593, it is possible to have liquorice swirls inside locks. Otherwise, it may be raining into the board, greatly reducing effective moves. If you make a move that removes at least one liquorice swirl immediately (which means, matching next to liquorice swirls), it's less likely to respawn in the following cascades. Many later levels use this blocker to increase difficulty due to their special candy resistance. This can become a serious problem in later levels involving jelly and/or ingredients.

If a striped candy hits a liquorice swirl, it will get rid of the blocker but won't get rid of any other candies beyond it. However, getting three liquorice swirl blockers in a row does not get rid of it though unlike candies, and cannot be combined with colour bomb.Īnother strange, and quite possibly one the most annoying properties is that they are resistant to special candies and weakens their combinations, especially striped candies (like liquorice shells, liquorice curls and liquorice fences). It is one of the only blockers that can be clicked on and switched with candies. The liquorice swirl has several unique properties. Like most blockers, it can be disposed of through breaking the candy next to it. The liquorice swirl is an invasive blocker, meaning no candies can be in the same square as the blocker, much like frosting or chocolate. For the list of levels with this blocker, see here.
