Liquorice Swirl

Liquorice Swirl (also known as Liquorice Wheels, Licorice Swirl or simply Licorice) is a blocker in Candy Crush Soda Saga. It is the second type of blocker involving liquorice. The blocker looks like a swirl of black liquorice and a dot of cream in the middle, taking up an entire square. It is one of the most common blockers in the game, frequently appearing on the board, and also spawning from its respective cannon.

Properties[]

Level 174 after — Liquorice Swirls in level 174.

The liquorice swirl is an invasive blocker, meaning no candies can be in the same square as the blocker, much like cupcake or chocolate. Like most blockers, it can be disposed of through breaking the candy next to it.
It is one of the only blockers that can be clicked on and switched with candies, but not matched. It cannot be combined with color bomb or coloring candy.
Another strange, and quite possibly one the most annoying properties is that they are resistant to special candies and weakens their combinations, especially striped candies. A liquorice swirl blocks the effects of special candies. If a striped candy hits a liquorice swirl, it will get rid of the blocker but won't get rid of any other candies or blockers beyond it. This can become a disaster when trying to deal with them.
Many levels use this blocker to increase difficulty due to their special resistance.
Liquorice swirls have no resistance to wrapped candies, colour bombs and coloring candies.
It is possible to have liquorice swirls inside locks, honey, ice, or through liquorice link; however, unlike Candy Crush Saga, these swirls cannot keep their resistance.

Trivia[]

This is the second blocker to have liquorice, the first one being the liquorice lock.
This element is the same as liquorice swirl in Candy Crush Saga and other squels. However in Candy Crush Saga these swirls keep their resistance even if locked.
If a candy fish eats the blocker, it won't break any frosting underneath it, unlike with the cupcake and other blockers. Thus, it is resistant.

There are four combinations they are not resistant to - the colour bomb and colour bomb mix, the colour bomb and coloring candy mix, the coloring candy and coloring candy mix and wrapped candy and wrapped candy mix. This will wipe out all liquorice swirls with no problem, or in the case of the latter, only eliminate all liquorice swirls in their blast radius. The double colour bomb or colour bomb with coloring candy mix is a good strategy for levels with lots of liquorice swirls.
