Complete strategy guide — level 13718

Level 13718 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 13718 in Context

Level 13718 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 13718 Distinct

Level 13718 ships with 6 walkthrough steps and 2 pro tips — about 102 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 13718, remember the order of operations. The board is solvable; it is the sequence that players get wrong.

What Level 13718 Tests

  1. Move sequencing on Level 13718 — 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. Booster timing on Level 13718 — Boosters are a resource trade: they convert coins into board state. The step mentions them because this level has at least one configuration where that trade is clearly worth it — not because you should open with one.
  3. Special-item handling on Level 13718 — 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

On Level 13718, 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

Tray discipline is the single most important skill to bring to Level 13718. 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 13718, 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

Mid-game on Level 13718 is where most runs either solidify or collapse. By now you've cleared the surface layer and can see roughly half the board's items. The question is: what sequence delivers the most efficient path to a cleared board?

Prioritize items that unblock others. On this board type, there are usually 2–3 "keystone" items that are partially visible but mostly covered by neighbors. Completing the match that includes one of these keystones often triggers a cascade — suddenly 3–4 new items are visible that were completely hidden before.

Another mid-game principle: use the physics engine. Match Factory is a 3D physics simulation, so clearing items from one area causes remaining items to shift and roll. If you're trying to uncover a specific buried item, sometimes matching nearby items (even if that match isn't ideal for your tray plan) causes enough movement to expose what you need.

Step-by-Step Analysis (6 phases)

  1. Step 1 is the one most players skip: "Clear Level 13718 by focusing on stacked items first…" 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.
  2. The final step is a cleanup instruction: "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.
  3. The mid-phase step is the pivot of the run: "Start by matching items that are blocking access to…" 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: "After using a booster, immediately capitalize on the new…" Boosters are a resource trade: they convert coins into board state. The step mentions them because this level has at least one configuration where that trade is clearly worth it — not because you should open with one.
  5. The opening step sets the tone: "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.
  6. This is where the level starts to tighten: "Map out the entire board mentally before making your…" 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 13718 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 13718, 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 13718. Use it with two or fewer items in the tray, then rebuild from the fresh layout.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  1. Picking up items from too many different categories in the opening moves, filling the tray with unmatched pairs.
  2. Refusing to use boosters at all because of coin conservation — sometimes one well-timed Fan booster saves three future attempts.
  3. Neglecting to use the Undo button after a clear tray mistake. One Undo used immediately can save an entire run.
  4. Treating the level as a speed challenge and clicking too fast to plan ahead. Match Factory rewards deliberate play over speed.

Pro Tips Explained

The 2 pro tips above come from the failure patterns that show up repeatedly on Level 13718. 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

Why do I keep failing Match Factory Level 13718?

The most common reason players repeatedly fail Level 13718 is tray mismanagement in the opening moves. If you pick up items from too many categories before completing any match, the seven-slot tray fills with unmatched pieces and the run is effectively over. Replay it with a single rule: never hold more than three different item types at the same time.

What is the best booster to use on Level 13718?

The Fan booster is the most versatile choice for Level 13718. 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 13718?

The walkthrough for Level 13718 is broken into 6 phases, backed by 2 pro tips and roughly 102 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.

Level 13718 is beatable with the right approach. Take your time with the opening moves, keep the tray clean, and trust the step-by-step process. If you're still struggling after a few attempts using this guide, try leaving the level and coming back later — sometimes a fresh perspective is all it takes. Good luck, and remember: the next level is always just one smart run away.
