If Match Factory Level 12545 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 12545 in Context
Level 12545 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 12545 Distinct
Level 12545 ships with 6 walkthrough steps and 2 pro tips — about 101 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 12545 Tests
- Move sequencing on Level 12545 — This step is about sequencing, and sequencing is what separates a two-attempt clear from a ten-attempt clear on a board like this.
- Rim control on Level 12545 — Outer pieces are the ones you can see but usually should not take first. Use them as a reserve so that when the tray needs a quick completion you already know where the third copy sits.
- Special-item handling on Level 12545 — 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.
How to Start: The Opening Phase
Level 12545 has a specific opening sequence that experienced players learn through trial and error. The key insight is that the first wave of visible items is a decoy — the "real" level hides under the surface pile.
In the opening, prioritize any clicks that reveal hidden items over clicks that just pick up already-visible ones. On most Match Factory boards, this means clicking items from the center-bottom of the pile rather than the outer ring, since central items are usually resting on top of others.
Spend your first 5 clicks purely on "excavation" — revealing buried items. Then take stock of what you can see and plan your first complete match. This two-phase opening (excavate, then match) consistently outperforms random clicking or greedy item collection from the start.
Tray Management: The Core Skill
Tray discipline is the single most important skill to bring to Level 12545. 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 12545, 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
The mid-game phase on Level 12545 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 12545.
Step-by-Step Analysis (6 phases)
- The second phase narrows the board: "Conquer Level 12545 by scanning the full board and…" 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: "Prioritize clearing items that appear most frequently on the…" The rim of the board is an information resource. Reading it tells you which item types are plentiful, and that read is what should decide your first committed match.
- The mid-phase step is the pivot of the run: "Use power-ups strategically when you're stuck or running low…" Special items often sit near the surface, which makes them tempting decoys. Clear the ordinary pieces around them first so the payoff actually lands.
- This is where the level starts to tighten: "Identify the most constrained items that have limited matching…" 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.
- Step 5 is the one most players skip: "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: "Manage your collection bar space carefully - never let…" 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
There is no rating on file for Level 12545, which usually means the board is winnable with clean play and punishes impatience instead of demanding resources. Treat boosters on Level 12545 as insurance, not as part of the plan.
The one exception worth planning for: a first attempt on Level 12545 that ends with two items of the same type stranded in the tray and no visible third copy. That is the classic Magnet scenario, and recognising it early saves you from repeating the same failed run three times.
Otherwise, spend your attention rather than your coins on Level 12545. Reading the pile before each click costs nothing, and on a board with no recorded rating that discipline is worth more than any single booster.
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.
- Ignoring the center pile in favor of outer-edge items, which are easier to click but often block access to the most important pieces.
- Treating the level as a speed challenge and clicking too fast to plan ahead. Match Factory rewards deliberate play over speed.
- Matching single items on empty parts of the board instead of aiming every pick-up at something that is blocking access.
Pro Tips Explained
The 2 pro tips above come from the failure patterns that show up repeatedly on Level 12545. Taken together they point at one theme — move sequencing — 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
Is Match Factory Level 12545 beatable without boosters?
Yes — Level 12545 sits in the endgame band of the game, and its 6-step walkthrough is designed to be followed without spending coins. The key is tray discipline: never collect from more than two or three item categories at once, and prioritize completing existing partial matches over picking up new items. Follow the step order above rather than improvising, because on this board the sequence matters more than raw speed.
How many steps does it take to clear Level 12545?
The walkthrough for Level 12545 is broken into 6 phases, backed by 2 pro tips and roughly 101 words of board-specific guidance.

What's the fastest way to beat Level 12545 without watching a video?
The fastest text-only approach for Level 12545: 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.
Match Factory Level 12545 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.
