Complete strategy guide — level 13900

Match Factory Level 13900 is one of those endgame puzzles that looks manageable at first glance but quickly reveals hidden complexity once you start moving pieces. Players who rush through the opening moves without a plan almost always find themselves with a full tray and no clear path forward. This guide breaks down exactly what you need to know to clear it efficiently on your next attempt.

Level 13900 in Context

Level 13900 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 13900 Distinct

Level 13900 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.

None of this requires fast reflexes. Level 13900 rewards a player who reads the pile before clicking, and punishes one who treats the board as a race.

What Level 13900 Tests

  1. Move sequencing on Level 13900 — 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. Bottom-up clearing on Level 13900 — Starting low matters because bottom-heavy piles release their items in waves. Clear the base and the upper layer loses support, which drops new matches into reach without extra clicks.
  3. Single-item probes on Level 13900 — Picking off single items is only correct when you can see, or strongly expect, where their partners are. Otherwise you are trading a slot for hope.

How to Start: The Opening Phase

Level 13900 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 13900, 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 13900 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

Mid-game on Level 13900 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. The final step is a cleanup instruction: "Level 13900 tests your ability to plan ahead -…" 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. A later step worth reading carefully: "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.
  3. This step is easy to misread as optional: "Group similar items visually to speed up your scanning…" 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. This is where the level starts to tighten: "Pay attention to which item types have an odd…" This step is about sequencing, and sequencing is what separates a two-attempt clear from a ten-attempt clear on a board like this.
  5. The opening step sets the tone: "Tackle the hardest-to-reach items first while you still have…" 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. Step 6 is the one most players skip: "Focus on the bottom layer items in multi-layer boards…" Starting low matters because bottom-heavy piles release their items in waves. Clear the base and the upper layer loses support, which drops new matches into reach without extra clicks.

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 13900 without boosters first, and only spend coins once you can name the specific thing that keeps beating you.

If the failure on Level 13900 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 13900.

Undo deserves more credit than it gets on a board like Level 13900. 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 13900: 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. Panicking when the tray fills to 5–6 items and making random clicks hoping to get lucky.
  2. Matching single items on empty parts of the board instead of aiming every pick-up at something that is blocking access.
  3. Picking up items from too many different categories in the opening moves, filling the tray with unmatched pairs.
  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 13900. 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 13900 beatable without boosters?

Yes — Level 13900 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 is the best booster to use on Level 13900?

The Fan booster is the most versatile choice for Level 13900. 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.

What should I focus on first in Level 13900?

Start with visibility, not matches. Level 13900 hides part of its item distribution under the surface layer, so your first job is to expose enough of the board to know which types are plentiful. Once you can see two copies of a type, that type becomes a safe commitment; until then, treat every pick-up as a slot you may not get back.

That covers Level 13900 end to end: the opening read, the tray rules that keep the run alive, the phase-by-phase sequence, and when a booster is actually worth the coins. Follow the order rather than improvising and the board stops feeling unfair. On to the next one.
