Unlock Strategy→Complete strategy guide — level 11718
Level 11718 in Match Factory demands more than just fast tapping — it demands a clear mental model of item priority and tray discipline. As a endgame stage, it sits in that frustrating range where boosters feel wasteful but brute-forcing it without strategy rarely works either. Let's walk through the optimal approach.
Level 11718 in Context
Level 11718 is endgame territory. At this point in your Match Factory journey, you've seen every board element the game has to offer — the challenge now is executing known strategies with precision under increasingly difficult constraints.
What Makes Level 11718 Distinct
Level 11718 ships with 6 walkthrough steps and 2 pro tips — about 107 words of board-specific guidance. Reading those first is worth more than any general advice, because they describe this exact pile rather than Match Factory in general.
If you only remember one thing about Level 11718, remember the order of operations. The board is solvable; it is the sequence that players get wrong.
What Level 11718 Tests
- Special-item handling on Level 11718 — Special items are worth chasing only after the board is readable. Taken early they eat bar space while their partners are still hidden, which is the opposite of what they are for.
- Time pressure on Level 11718 — Time pressure changes the correct play: under a timer, the fastest legal match usually beats the optimal one, so favour clicks you can make without re-reading the board.
- Collection-bar economy on Level 11718 — The collection bar is the real clock on this level — not the move count. Every pick-up that does not move a trio closer to completion is effectively a lost slot, and slots are the resource you are actually managing.
How to Start: The Opening Phase
The first 8–10 clicks in Level 11718 largely determine whether you'll win or not. The goal of the opening phase is simple: create visibility. The more items you can see, the better your decision-making.
Start by targeting items on the outer edges and top of the main pile — these are the "unlock" items that expose what's beneath. Don't try to complete matches in the first few moves unless one falls right into your lap. Instead, think of the opening as an "information gathering" phase where your goal is to expose the widest possible selection of items.
After 6–8 clicks you should have a much clearer picture of which item types are densely represented (meaning they're easy to match) versus which types have most of their copies buried deep. Use this information to decide your first committed match sequence.
Tray Management: The Core Skill
Tray discipline is the single most important skill to bring to Level 11718. Unlike earlier stages where you can recover from a cluttered tray by matching your way out, this level's layout means a full tray is almost certainly a failed run.
Here's the key discipline to practice: commit to finishing one item type before picking up another. If you spot a green bottle and pick it up, your next two clicks should be hunting for the other two green bottles — not grabbing a coin or a red sneaker that caught your eye.
Also pay attention to how deeply buried certain items are. On boards like Level 11718, some item types appear mostly near the bottom of the pile. If you pick up one of them early but can't complete the trio for 10+ moves, you've effectively given up a tray slot for a long time. Prioritize item types that you can see at least two of before you start collecting.
Mid-Game Strategy
Around the halfway mark of Level 11718, the board opens up significantly — and this is both an opportunity and a trap. With more items visible, it's tempting to be aggressive and pick up everything. Resist this.
Instead, use the mid-game opening to take stock and plan. Mentally sort the visible items into two categories: "ready to match" (you can see 3+ of the same type) and "not ready" (you can only see 1 or 2). Your priority queue should be clear: finish all "ready to match" items first, then work on exposing the "not ready" items.
On Level 11718 in particular, there's often a cluster of similar items near the bottom of the board that only becomes accessible in the mid-game. Don't be impatient — trying to dig them out before the board naturally reveals them wastes moves and tray space.
Step-by-Step Analysis (6 phases)
- This is where the level starts to tighten: "Level 11718 requires a sharp eye and good timing…" This step is about sequencing, and sequencing is what separates a two-attempt clear from a ten-attempt clear on a board like this.
- The mid-phase step is the pivot of the run: "If a stack has many layers, work through it…" Planning clicks in advance is not slow play — on a board with this much hidden information it is the only way to avoid spending slots on items you cannot finish.
- This step is easy to misread as optional: "Use the shuffle power-up if you can't find any…" Special items are worth chasing only after the board is readable. Taken early they eat bar space while their partners are still hidden, which is the opposite of what they are for.
- Step 4 is the one most players skip: "Watch the timer and adjust your pace - speed…" When a timer is involved, pre-plan during the animation. Deciding your next click while the current match resolves is where a timed run is actually won.
- The second phase narrows the board: "Look for items that only appear twice - they…" Prioritising is the whole skill here: rank the visible item types by how close they are to a trio, then work that list top-down instead of clicking whatever catches your eye.
- A later step worth reading carefully: "Keep at least one empty slot in your collection…" Think of the bar as a budget: three slots reserved for the trio you are finishing, the rest as working space. Blow the budget early and the rest of the level is damage control.
Booster Strategy
Treat Level 11718 as a strategy check rather than a resource check. With no rating on record, the level is telling you nothing about how much you should spend — only about how well you are managing the tray.
If the tray is what keeps ending your runs on Level 11718, no booster fixes that. Go back to the walkthrough steps above, replay the opening with the single rule of never holding more than three item types, and you will usually clear it without touching the shop.
If instead the board itself keeps jamming — clusters that leave nothing reachable — that is a legitimate Fan moment on Level 11718. Use it with two or fewer items in the tray, then rebuild from the fresh layout.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Matching single items on empty parts of the board instead of aiming every pick-up at something that is blocking access.
- Using a Fan booster when the tray is already 5+ items full — the reshuffled board can't be exploited with no tray room.
- Treating the level as a speed challenge and clicking too fast to plan ahead. Match Factory rewards deliberate play over speed.
- Ignoring the center pile in favor of outer-edge items, which are easier to click but often block access to the most important pieces.
Pro Tips Explained
The 2 pro tips above come from the failure patterns that show up repeatedly on Level 11718. Taken together they point at one theme — special-item handling — which is the skill this particular board is really testing. Read them as a checklist before your next attempt rather than as background reading.
Frequently asked questions
What's the fastest way to beat Level 11718 without watching a video?
The fastest text-only approach for Level 11718: spend the first eight clicks excavating rather than matching, identify the two or three item types you can see the most of, complete those trios in full before touching anything else, then let the physics settle and reassess. This disciplined loop clears most Match Factory boards without a video guide.
What is the best booster to use on Level 11718?
The Fan booster is the most versatile choice for Level 11718. Use it during the mid-game when your tray has two or fewer items and the board layout has turned unfavourable. The Magnet booster is the better secondary option when you are missing the third copy of a type that seems permanently buried. Never fire either one into a nearly full tray — the board changes and you have no room to react.
How many steps does it take to clear Level 11718?
The walkthrough for Level 11718 is broken into 6 phases, backed by 2 pro tips and roughly 107 words of board-specific guidance. An efficient clear generally lands somewhere in the 20–35 move range depending on how the pile settles, and runs that stretch well past that usually indicate a clogged tray rather than bad luck.
With this guide in hand, you have everything you need to tackle Level 11718 systematically. The strategies covered here — opening excavation, tray discipline, mid-game sequencing, and smart booster timing — aren't just for this level. They're the foundational skills that will carry you through everything ahead in Match Factory. Apply them consistently and the wins will follow.
