Hint Moves or Suggested Moves occurs when a player hesitates to make a move. This essentially means a possible move suggested for a player as a hint. Of course, a player doesn't truly have to make those moves. Usually, those are not the best moves so it is recommended you think of those hints as a way of making this board look fancy instead and come up with your own strategy.
To know when a hint is suggested, three able-to-match candies will be vibrated very smoothly. However, the player doesn't need to follow that match, except you can't find a match with a lot of candy colors. The hint move always appears when you start a level. Besides, it always occurs while the cascades continue.
Two striped candies adjacent to each other usually are the first matches to be vibrated. The same goes for two adjacent wrapped candies. A wrapped candy + striped candy is also a very common hint moves. (What is the priority order). However, not every time two striped candies adjacent to each other are hinted randomly.
If there are color bombs or coloring candies, the hint moves may suggest that you activate them, especially when combining them with another special candy.
