What is the Frog for in Candy Crush Saga?

Introduced at level 606 in Candy Crush Saga, the frog, named Samantha, is a unique element that has often piqued players' curiosity. Unlike regular candies or traditional boosters, the frog has special abilities that can come to your rescue in particularly complex levels. In this article, we reveal all the secrets to mastering the frog and using it to your advantage.

The frog in Candy Crush isn't just a decorative element or an obstacle to avoid. It's a powerful booster capable of turning a seemingly lost situation into a victory. Unlike candies, the frog doesn't disappear once used. You can reuse it multiple times. To feed and charge the frog, you need to match it with candies of the same color. It will "eat" those candies to recharge. Once it has consumed 12 candies, it enters a special state called "Frogtastic," indicated by a sparkling glow around it. In this state, it can move and trigger an explosion that destroys candies in a 3x3 area.

To make the most of the frog, follow these steps: First, feed the frog by matching it with candies of the same color until it reaches the "Frogtastic" state. To speed up its recharging, use a color bomb of the same hue to feed the frog in one go. Once it is full, click on it and choose where to place it. It will trigger an explosion in a 3x3 area, clearing all the surrounding candies. After each use, the frog changes color, allowing you to repeat the process with candies of its new color to reactivate its powers.

The frog can also be combined with special candies for even more powerful effects. If you match the frog with a striped candy, it takes on the function of the striped candy (horizontal or vertical) and will destroy an entire row or column of candies when it moves. Combining the frog with a wrapped candy triggers an explosion that affects a 3x3 area around it. Another interesting combination is with the color bomb, which removes all candies of the frog's color from the board and immediately sends it into "Frogtastic" mode. These combinations are ideal for clearing hard-to-reach areas or eliminating complex obstacles, which is particularly useful in tougher levels.
