Complete strategy guide — level 13736

Match Factory Level 13736 represents a classic endgame-tier challenge: plenty of items on the board, but tight tray space and hidden dependencies that punish random clicking. This guide covers the opening strategy, mid-game tray management, and the specific moves players most often get wrong on this level.

Level 13736 in Context

Level 13736 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 13736 Distinct

Level 13736 ships with 6 walkthrough steps and 2 pro tips — about 94 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 13736, remember the order of operations. The board is solvable; it is the sequence that players get wrong.

What Level 13736 Tests

  1. Collection-bar economy on Level 13736 — 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.
  2. Layered burial on Level 13736 — Buried items are the level's pacing mechanism: the board deliberately hides part of each item type so you cannot finish a trio without doing excavation work first.
  3. Move sequencing on Level 13736 — This step is about sequencing, and sequencing is what separates a two-attempt clear from a ten-attempt clear on a board like this.

How to Start: The Opening Phase

Level 13736 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

The tray in Match Factory holds seven items, and on Level 13736, 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 13736 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 13736, 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 13736 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 second phase narrows the board: "Beat Level 13736 by prioritizing hidden items and keeping…" 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.
  2. This is where the level starts to tighten: "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.
  3. This step is easy to misread as optional: "Clear the edges of the board first to simplify…" 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.
  4. The opening step sets the tone: "Memorize item positions before they get covered by falling…" Treat deeply buried pieces as a future obligation rather than a current target. Note where they are, keep the type in mind, and clear the layer above them before committing slots to it.
  5. Step 5 is the one most players skip: "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.
  6. The final step is a cleanup instruction: "Stay calm under pressure and maintain your concentration throughout." Anything covered by two or more pieces should wait. Committing to a buried type too early is how a tray ends up holding two items it cannot complete.

Booster Strategy

This level's record doesn't carry an official difficulty rating, so treat the booster question as a judgement call rather than a rule. The honest guidance: attempt Level 13736 without boosters first, and only spend coins once you can name the specific thing that keeps beating you.

If the failure on Level 13736 is a jammed board — items clustered so that nothing useful is reachable — the Fan is the right tool, ideally with two or fewer items in the tray so you can actually use the new layout. If the failure is one stubborn item type whose third copy you can never find, the Magnet is cheaper than another full attempt on Level 13736.

Undo deserves more credit than it gets on a board like Level 13736. A single Undo after a bar-clogging mistake costs less than replaying the level, and it teaches you where the mistake happened better than a fresh run does.

One rule that applies to every attempt at Level 13736: never launch a booster into a full tray. The board changes but you cannot react to it, which turns a resource into a wasted click.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  1. Ignoring the center pile in favor of outer-edge items, which are easier to click but often block access to the most important pieces.
  2. Picking up items from too many different categories in the opening moves, filling the tray with unmatched pairs.
  3. Refusing to use boosters at all because of coin conservation — sometimes one well-timed Fan booster saves three future attempts.
  4. 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 13736. 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

What's the fastest way to beat Level 13736 without watching a video?

The fastest text-only approach for Level 13736: 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.

Is there a trick to Match Factory Level 13736?

The closest thing to a trick on Level 13736 is using the physics simulation deliberately. When you complete a match involving pieces that sit next to a buried cluster, the simulation rolls those hidden items into view for free. Aiming matches at pieces that support the pile therefore reveals more than aiming at whichever item happens to be nearest your cursor.

Does the item layout change every time I play Level 13736?

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.

Match Factory Level 13736 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!
