How are you supposed to collect the right number of dots on level 247 when the game swamps you with every colour - except the ones you need? It should at least be balanced to give you a chance, but instead it is set up so that you are always a few moves short. You shouldn't have to pay to complete it.

After a week ( and approximately 100 tries) I got a game where the colours/squares all lined up. It was the first time I cleared the fired and released the first 3 anchors. Even so I had to buy 5 moves to complete it. I consider it money well spent just to end the frustration.
No matter how well you play, it eventually comes down to luck with randomly generated patterns. Hang in there - it will work eventually.

I have not been able to get past this level - even with supply crates. I cannot eliminate the fire before running out of moves, it eats my ice dots too!
I know they want us to spend money but even the 5 moves power up wouldn't help me.

This level is impossible without supply crates. It took me 4 days of sinking anchors on level 11 but I have finally cracked enough ice to move on.
