Complete strategy guide — level 13789

Level 13789 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 13789 in Context

At Level 13789 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 13789 Distinct

Level 13789 ships with 6 walkthrough steps and 2 pro tips — about 100 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 13789 Tests

  1. Move sequencing on Level 13789 — 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. Layered burial on Level 13789 — 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. Chain reactions on Level 13789 — Chain reactions are why move order matters more than move count. The same six matches in a different sequence produce a completely different board, and only one order sets up the cascade.

How to Start: The Opening Phase

Level 13789 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 13789. 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 13789, 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 13789 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. This step is easy to misread as optional: "Clear Level 13789 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 mid-phase step is the pivot of the run: "Work systematically from one side of the board 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.
  3. The final step is a cleanup instruction: "Look for hidden items under obstacles or behind other…" 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.
  4. The opening step sets the tone: "Plan several moves ahead to avoid getting stuck with…" 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.
  5. Step 5 is the one most players skip: "Use combo strategies to clear multiple sets of items…" Cascades are the closest thing to free progress in this game — you spend one match and the board hands you the next. Aim your clicks at the pieces sitting on top of clusters to trigger them deliberately.
  6. The second phase narrows the board: "Be prepared to restart if early moves don't go…" 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

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 13789 without boosters first, and only spend coins once you can name the specific thing that keeps beating you.

If the failure on Level 13789 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 13789.

Undo deserves more credit than it gets on a board like Level 13789. 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 13789: 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. Forgetting that the physics engine can shift items. Sometimes matching one cluster causes buried items to roll out — watch for this instead of immediately clicking.
  2. Using a Fan booster when the tray is already 5+ items full — the reshuffled board can't be exploited with no tray room.
  3. Starting the run without a mental plan for which item types to prioritize. The first 5 clicks should be intentional, not random.
  4. Neglecting to use the Undo button after a clear tray mistake. One Undo used immediately can save an entire run.

Pro Tips Explained

The 2 pro tips above come from the failure patterns that show up repeatedly on Level 13789. 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

Does the item layout change every time I play Level 13789?

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.

Why do I keep failing Match Factory Level 13789?

The most common reason players repeatedly fail Level 13789 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.

Is Match Factory Level 13789 beatable without boosters?

Yes — Level 13789 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.

Match Factory Level 13789 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!
