Candy Crush can be a lot of fun. It can even be a bit addicting. While the game is free to download and play, it does allow you to purchase gold bars with real money that you can use to buy power-ups and extra lives to help you beat the more difficult levels. If you want to play without paying, you'll need to wait to earn more lives when they run out, or you could purchase more lives with gold bars. You can also earn power-ups to help you beat the more difficult levels. This wikiHow teaches you how to be Candy Crush levels for free.

[Edit]Steps

[Edit]Replenishing Lives

View lives. You are allotted only five lives maximum at a time. The number of remaining lives is displayed on the upper-left side of the game's main screen inside the icon that resembles a heart. A countdown timer from 30 minutes is displayed beside it that gives you an idea of how much time is left before another life is added.
Wait 30 minutes. It takes 30 minutes to replenish one life. If you've already consumed all your five lives in one go, you have to wait at least 30 minutes to get back one life. Better yet, leave the game alone for at least two and a half hours to get a full set of five lives.
- You can trick the game into giving you more lives by setting the time ahead on your phone or tablet.
Ask friends. Candy Crush can be integrated with your Facebook account. It's not needed to play it, but it will make the whole playing experience easier and better. If you're running out of lives and would like to keep playing, you can ask a Facebook friend who plays the game as well. Giving a friend a life to a friend is free.
- Tap the icon that resembles a heart. A window will appear with the remaining time until a next life is generated. Below it is the “Ask friends” banner with the Facebook logo.
- Tap on this banner to ask some Facebook friends for lives.
- Tap the “Ask friends” button on the next window, and your list of friends will be displayed. Simply tap the plus sign beside each one to request lives. A friend can only give a life to you once a day, so make it count.
- Tap the Send button once done to send the requests.
Give lives to friends. A little quid pro quo can extend your playing time. Every now and then, give lives to your friends. They may remember you when it's their turn to give away lives. You'd be surprised how many do give back.

[Edit]Getting Free Daily Boosters

Open the Daily Booster Wheel. Candy Crush gives away a free booster daily. All you have to do is turn the wheel. On the game's main screen, right below the number of lives, is a bubble with part of a wheel. Tap on this to bring out the Daily Booster Wheel.
Stop the wheel. If you haven't played today, the wheel will be turning. Tap the “Stop” button underneath it to have the wheel stop turning. The turning will slow down until it stops fully.
Claim the prize. Wherever the arrow points to when the wheel stops represents the booster you've won for the day. Each day's a winner, so you don't have to worry. Tap the “Claim prize” button to collect the booster.
- The free booster will vary.
Use boosters. Right before you start a game level, you have an option to equip some boosters applicable to the game. These boosters will be displayed on top of the “Play” button. Tap the ones you'd like to use within the level.
- The number of available boosters per type is clearly displayed.
- Some boosters can be equipped within the level itself. These types of boosters can be accessed by tapping the appropriate icons on the upper-left portion of the game screen.
- These free boosters are limited, so use them wisely.

[Edit]Unlocking More Levels

Ask friends. Once you've reached the next set of locked levels, you cannot proceed without getting the required tickets. You can get these by asking friends to help you. All you need are three tickets from three friends.
- Tap the “Ask friends” button when faced with locked levels, and then select from the list of friends.
- Tap the “Send” button once done to send the requests.
- You don't have to limit your requests to just three friends, you can send to as many as you want. This will likely get you the needed tickets faster.
View ticket status. After you've sent your requests, you can view how many tickets you've received and from whom by tapping the train icon, which serves as the gate for the next levels.
Continue to the next levels. Once all the tickets have been received, the next levels will be unlocked and you will be brought to the next one. Keep on playing.
- Repeat the steps to unlocking levels when you've reached the next locked gate.

[Edit]Setting the Time to Get More Lives

Open the Settings menu on your phone. If you run out of lives and you want to keep playing, you can trick the game into giving you more lives by setting the time on your phone. To do so, open the Settings menu on your phone. On Android, it's an icon that resembles a gear. On iPhone, it's an icon that resembles two gears.
Tap the Search icon. Since the Settings menu is different from one phone model to the next, the easiest way to find the Date and Time settings is to use the Search function. It's the icon that resembles a magnifying glass. On Android, it's in the upper-right corner of the Settings menu. On iPhone, it's the search bar at the top of the Settings menu.
Type in the search bar. This searches for the Date and Time menu in the Settings menu.
Tap or similar. This menu may be labeled differently depending on your phone model. Tap the option that allows you to change the date and time on your phone.
Turn off the automatic date and time set feature. Most phones have the option to automatically set the date and time using network connection. You need to turn this off to set the time ahead. Tap the toggle switch next to "Set automatically", "Automatic Date and time" or something similar to turn off the automatic time setting function
Tap the option to set the date and time. On Android, this is usually a button that says Set Time or something similar. On iPhone, it's the bar with the date and time at the bottom.
Set the time ahead two and a half hours. To get the full five lives replenished, you need to set the date and time ahead by two hours and thirty minutes or more. Swipe up and down on the hours and minutes in the time to adjust the time, or use the number pad to type in the new time. Tap Done or Save when you are finished.
Return to your Candy Crush game. After you set the time ahead, you will notice your lives have been replenished. If you run out of lives again, just set the time ahead again.
- When you want to return the time to normal, just go back into the Date and Time settings on your phone and turn on the Automatic Time and Date feature.
