If Match Factory Level 12373 has you stuck, the issue almost certainly isn't luck. This endgame stage has a reliable solution path once you understand the underlying puzzle structure. The walkthrough and tips below are distilled from repeated playthroughs and community input to give you the fastest, most booster-efficient route to the finish.
Level 12373 in Context
At Level 12373 the margin for error is thin enough that a single careless pick-up can decide the run. The good news is that the same principles still work — excavation, tray economy, and sequencing — they simply have to be applied without the slack earlier levels provided.
What Makes Level 12373 Distinct
Level 12373 ships with 6 walkthrough steps and 2 pro tips — about 111 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.
Everything below is written for the board as it stands at the start of a run. If the pile settles differently for you, keep the principles and adjust the specifics.
What Level 12373 Tests
- Collection-bar economy on Level 12373 — 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.
- Move sequencing on Level 12373 — This step is about sequencing, and sequencing is what separates a two-attempt clear from a ten-attempt clear on a board like this.
- Bottom-up clearing on Level 12373 — Starting low matters because bottom-heavy piles release their items in waves. Clear the base and the upper layer loses support, which drops new matches into reach without extra clicks.
How to Start: The Opening Phase
On Level 12373, what you do in the first ten seconds matters more than anything in the middle of the run. Many players jump straight for the most visible or shiniest items — but the better play is to systematically expose the pile.
Target the center-top of the board first. In most Match Factory layouts, the center pile has the highest item density and the most hidden items beneath. By breaking open the center early, you give yourself maximum flexibility for the rest of the level.
After opening the center, look for item clusters — spots where you can see 2 or more of the same type close together. Matching a cluster early locks in a quick 3-item match without consuming tray space for long. These early "free matches" are crucial for maintaining breathing room in your tray.
Tray Management: The Core Skill
The tray in Match Factory holds seven items, and on Level 12373, eight wrong clicks in a row will end your run. The board design deliberately creates situations where items from 4–5 different types are visible but none have a full trio accessible — this is the trap.
Surviving this trap means maintaining tray "breathing room." Always try to keep 2–3 open slots. If your tray is at 5 items, stop picking up new types and focus entirely on completing existing partial matches. This might mean clicking items that seem less exciting (like completing a boring coin match) instead of going after the animated special items — but completing that boring match keeps you alive.
On Level 12373 specifically, watch for the moment around the mid-game when the center pile shifts. Items that were blocked early become accessible, and the temptation to grab everything at once is strongest right here. Stay disciplined.
Mid-Game Strategy
The mid-game phase on Level 12373 is when you need to shift from reactive clicking to proactive planning. You've probably got a rough sense of the board layout by now — use that knowledge.
The key mid-game skill is "look-ahead" — instead of clicking the next obvious match, trace 2–3 moves into the future. "If I pick up this yellow star now, what opens up? Can I complete the yellow star match in the next 2 clicks? What does that expose?" Players who think one move at a time in the mid-game almost always find themselves in trouble by the final third of the level.
Also watch for "dead end" item types — items where you can only see 1 copy and there's no way to know where the other two are. Avoid picking these up until you can see all three. Holding a dead-end item in your tray for 8+ moves while hunting for its partners is a classic trap on Level 12373.
Step-by-Step Analysis (6 phases)
- The second phase narrows the board: "Complete Level 12373 by carefully matching all items while…" 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.
- Step 2 is the one most players skip: "Plan several moves ahead to avoid getting stuck with…" 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.
- The final step is a cleanup instruction: "Restart immediately if you fill the bar with no…" 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.
- A later step worth reading carefully: "Survey the entire board before making any moves to…" 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: "Tap on matching items to select them and add…" The lower rows are where the board keeps its tempo. If you let them sit while picking at the top, you spend the mid-game unpicking a pile that should already be gone.
- The mid-phase step is the pivot of the run: "Be prepared to restart if early moves don't go…" 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.
Booster Strategy
Level 12373 is best approached as a no-booster run first, with boosters treated as a correction for a specific board state rather than an opening move. That framing matters: players who open with a booster on Level 12373 usually spend it before they know which item types are scarce, which is exactly the information the booster is supposed to buy them.
If you do reach for one on Level 12373, sequence it after a completed match rather than mid-trio. Finishing a match first returns slots to the tray, so the reshuffle or pull that follows can actually be acted on instead of admired.
Keep a rough coin budget for Level 12373: one booster per two attempts is a sane ceiling. If you are spending more than that, the fix is a change in approach — usually committing to fewer item types at once — rather than a bigger spend.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Using a Fan booster when the tray is already 5+ items full — the reshuffled board can't be exploited with no tray room.
- Starting the run without a mental plan for which item types to prioritize. The first 5 clicks should be intentional, not random.
- Picking up a "dead end" item — one where you can only see 1 copy — and holding it for 8+ moves while hunting for the other two.
- Clicking the most visually prominent items (shiny, animated) instead of the strategically correct items.
Pro Tips Explained
The 2 pro tips above come from the failure patterns that show up repeatedly on Level 12373. Taken together they point at one theme — collection-bar economy — 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
Does the item layout change every time I play Level 12373?
Match Factory uses seeded layouts with minor randomization between attempts. The overall board structure — which item types appear and roughly how many of each — stays the same, but the exact position of buried pieces can shift. That is why a strategy that "almost worked" last time is usually worth retrying rather than abandoning.
What is the best booster to use on Level 12373?
The Fan booster is the most versatile choice for Level 12373. 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 12373?
The walkthrough for Level 12373 is broken into 6 phases, backed by 2 pro tips and roughly 111 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.
Match Factory Level 12373 rewards patience and planning over speed and luck. Use the walkthrough steps as your framework, apply the tray management principles to every click, and don't hesitate to use the Undo button when you catch a mistake early. With focused play, this level is very much within reach. Good luck on your next attempt!
