Complete strategy guide — level 12713

Stuck on Match Factory Level 12713? You're not alone. This endgame level trips up even experienced players because it requires a specific sequencing discipline that isn't obvious from the layout. Whether you've attempted it once or a dozen times, the strategy below will help you understand why your previous runs failed — and what to do differently.

Level 12713 in Context

Level 12713 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 12713 Distinct

Level 12713 ships with 6 walkthrough steps and 2 pro tips — about 97 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 12713, remember the order of operations. The board is solvable; it is the sequence that players get wrong.

What Level 12713 Tests

  1. Move sequencing on Level 12713 — This step is about sequencing, and sequencing is what separates a two-attempt clear from a ten-attempt clear on a board like this.
  2. Special-item handling on Level 12713 — 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.
  3. Rim control on Level 12713 — 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.

How to Start: The Opening Phase

The first 8–10 clicks in Level 12713 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

The tray in Match Factory holds seven items, and on Level 12713, 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 12713 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

Around the halfway mark of Level 12713, 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 12713 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)

  1. The final step is a cleanup instruction: "Conquer Level 12713 by scanning the full board and…" This step is about sequencing, and sequencing is what separates a two-attempt clear from a ten-attempt clear on a board like this.
  2. Step 2 is the one most players skip: "Save power-ups for the most challenging moments in the…" Special items often sit near the surface, which makes them tempting decoys. Clear the ordinary pieces around them first so the payoff actually lands.
  3. The opening step sets the tone: "Focus on efficiency - every move counts in challenging…" This step is about sequencing, and sequencing is what separates a two-attempt clear from a ten-attempt clear on a board like this.
  4. A later step worth reading carefully: "Focus on clearing items from the top of stacked…" 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.
  5. The mid-phase step is the pivot of the run: "Clear obstacles and locked items early to open up…" 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.
  6. This step is easy to misread as optional: "Identify the most constrained items that have limited matching…" This step is about sequencing, and sequencing is what separates a two-attempt clear from a ten-attempt clear on a board like this.

Booster Strategy

Treat Level 12713 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 12713, 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 12713. Use it with two or fewer items in the tray, then rebuild from the fresh layout.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  1. Giving up before the mid-game reveal. Many Match Factory levels look impossible until the surface pile clears, at which point they become manageable.
  2. Starting the run without a mental plan for which item types to prioritize. The first 5 clicks should be intentional, not random.
  3. Picking up items from too many different categories in the opening moves, filling the tray with unmatched pairs.
  4. Leaving corner pieces for last, then discovering they are walled in once the middle of the board has collapsed.

Pro Tips Explained

The 2 pro tips above come from the failure patterns that show up repeatedly on Level 12713. 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 12713 beatable without boosters?

Yes — Level 12713 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.

What's the fastest way to beat Level 12713 without watching a video?

The fastest text-only approach for Level 12713: 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.

How many steps does it take to clear Level 12713?

The walkthrough for Level 12713 is broken into 6 phases, backed by 2 pro tips and roughly 97 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.

Don't get discouraged if Level 12713 takes a few attempts — even with the optimal strategy, some board randomization means not every run comes together. The key is learning something from each failed attempt: did the tray fill up too early? Did you miss the mid-game item cascade? Use each run as data, refine your approach, and the clear will come.
