Flowers: These are the first special cropsy you'll come across. You need to make matches adjacent to them four times to collect them. They'll remain stationary until you do so, blocking other cropsies off and generally getting in the way. Your best bet with these is to try to make matches such that you're hitting two or more at a time. If you pick them off one at a time, you'll probably run out of moves before you hit your target. If you can set up a chain, each match that falls beside the flower will count towards removing it, making short work of them.
Grumpy Cropsies: Hey, vegetables can have bad days, too. Like a person in a bad mood, grumpy cropsies can have a negative effect on those around them. If you make a match with them, the whole lot will become grumpy and you won't get credit. The good news is that you can make a grumpy cropsy happy again with the mood-altering power of grass. If a grumpy cropsy lands on a grass tile, it will change back to a normal cropsy. Otherwise, you'll just have to be careful making matches around these guys.
Ice: Removing ice is easy enough, you just have to make a match with the cropsy found inside. When you do this, the game will treat it like a regular match but instead of removing the cropsy, only the ice will come off the board, leaving the cropsy behind. You can actually make special combinations with iced cropsies and they'll work, but they'll always leave that last one behind. The game often uses ice to block you from more important goals like flowers or buckets. In these levels, keep in mind that you only need to remove the ice that's in your way. If you get caught up trying to remove all the ice, you're going to fail.
Grass: This one is actually a positive all around. Matching cropsies on grass tiles adds to their value. You can also use grass to restore grumpy cropsies, a vital use later in the game. Grass can be created if you have seeds and water simply by swapping them, but you won't see seeds for quite some time. In levels with grass, you should adjust your matching strategy. Rather than going as near to the bottom of the play area as possible with your matches, it's better to make matches near the bottom of the grassy parts. Those extra points are nothing to sneeze at. Unless you have hay fever. Magical hay fever that reacts to digital images of grass. If so, my sympathies, that sounds super inconvenient.
Chicks: Chicks, man, they're a pain in the butt. For these guys you need to match three eggs to make one cracked egg, then match three of those to produce one chick. They're the bane of any level they appear in. Be very careful about how you're matching the eggs initially. Try to match them such that the resulting cracked egg isn't off in a corner somewhere by itself. Match only three at one time. Matching four or five will still produce the same result: one cracked egg. Those wasted eggs have a very real chance of ruining the whole round for you.
Buckets: The appearance of buckets is approximately where Farm Heroes Saga stops fooling around. When you make enough matches adjacent to them, buckets will spit out a few water cropsies randomly around the field. This might sound awesome, but the presence of a bucket means a couple of things. There's going to be a water cropsy quota and said cropsies are not going to appear naturally in that level. This combination is going to ruin your day a few times. The properties of water buckets can make them friend or foe in equal measures. Since the water they spew randomly overwrites another cropsy, they can mess up your planned matches. If they're in an easily accessible area, you can end up getting flooded with water cropsies and not have enough of the other targets on the board. You'll often have to dig your way through flowers or ice to get at them, but remember you only need to access one side of them to produce water.
