Detailed steps, unique tips, and video context for Match Factory Level 1506. Source video: Match Factory Level 1507.
1Quick Steps
- 1.Start by clearing the top row of items to prevent them from reappearing in your collection bar. This will give you more control over the items you collect.
- 2.Focus on creating matches in the center of the board to avoid filling up your collection bar with edge items that are harder to match.
- 3.Look for opportunities to create long chains of matches to clear multiple items at once. This will keep the board from getting too cluttered.
- 4.Pay attention to any power-ups that appear on the board and use them strategically to clear larger areas or create more matches.
- 5.As the board fills up, prioritize clearing items that are close to matching in your collection bar to prevent it from being filled up.

!Pro Tips
- •Avoid collecting too many items that don't have matches on the board, as they will fill up your collection bar quickly.
- •Try to create matches that involve items from both the board and your collection bar to clear them more efficiently.
- •Be patient and wait for good opportunities to create matches. Rushing can lead to more items filling your collection bar.

If Match Factory Level 1506 has you stuck, the issue almost certainly isn't luck. This mid-game stage has a reliable solution path once you understand the underlying puzzle structure. The walkthrough and tips below are distilled from repeated playthroughs and community input to give you the fastest, most booster-efficient route to the finish.
Level 1506 in Context
In the mid-game tier that includes Level 1506, Match Factory starts separating casual players from committed ones. The levels aren't brutally hard yet, but they require consistent strategy execution rather than lucky clicking. Mastering the mechanics at this stage sets you up for the harder content ahead.
What Makes Level 1506 Distinct
Level 1506 ships with 5 walkthrough steps and 3 pro tips — about 184 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 1506 Tests
- Rim control on Level 1506 — 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.
- Surface-layer removal on Level 1506 — Working the top of the pile first is an excavation move, not a matching move — the goal is visibility, and the matches you find early are a bonus rather than the plan.
- Collection-bar economy on Level 1506 — 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.
How to Start: The Opening Phase
On Level 1506, 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
The seven-slot tray is the heart of every Match Factory battle, and Level 1506 is no exception. The most common reason players fail this level is a clogged tray — they pick up items from too many different categories before completing any match, until the tray fills with seven mismatched pieces and the run is over.
The rule of thumb: never have more than three different item types in your tray at once. If you already have two red apples, the third click should be on another red apple, not a blue toy. Resist the urge to "collect first, match later." On Level 1506 the board can look deceptively open early on, making it tempting to grab items at random. Don't fall for it.
A practical trick: mentally label each tray slot before you click. Ask yourself "does this click complete a match or get me closer to one?" If the honest answer is no, skip it and find a click that does.
Mid-Game Strategy
The mid-game phase on Level 1506 is when you need to shift from reactive clicking to proactive planning. You've probably got a rough sense of the board layout by now — use that knowledge.
The key mid-game skill is "look-ahead" — instead of clicking the next obvious match, trace 2–3 moves into the future. "If I pick up this yellow star now, what opens up? Can I complete the yellow star match in the next 2 clicks? What does that expose?" Players who think one move at a time in the mid-game almost always find themselves in trouble by the final third of the level.
Also watch for "dead end" item types — items where you can only see 1 copy and there's no way to know where the other two are. Avoid picking these up until you can see all three. Holding a dead-end item in your tray for 8+ moves while hunting for its partners is a classic trap on Level 1506.
Step-by-Step Analysis (5 phases)
- This is where the level starts to tighten: "Start by clearing the top row of items to…" 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.
- The final step is a cleanup instruction: "Focus on creating matches in the center of the…" The centre of the pile is where item density is highest, so breaking it open early pays for itself twice: you expose more pieces and you create the cascades that make the rest of the board readable.
- The opening step sets the tone: "Look for opportunities to create long chains of matches…" 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.
- Step 4 is the one most players skip: "Pay attention to any power-ups that appear on the…" 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.
- The second phase narrows the board: "As the board fills up, prioritize clearing items that…" 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.
Booster Strategy
There is no rating on file for Level 1506, which usually means the board is winnable with clean play and punishes impatience instead of demanding resources. Treat boosters on Level 1506 as insurance, not as part of the plan.
The one exception worth planning for: a first attempt on Level 1506 that ends with two items of the same type stranded in the tray and no visible third copy. That is the classic Magnet scenario, and recognising it early saves you from repeating the same failed run three times.
Otherwise, spend your attention rather than your coins on Level 1506. Reading the pile before each click costs nothing, and on a board with no recorded rating that discipline is worth more than any single booster.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Starting the run without a mental plan for which item types to prioritize. The first 5 clicks should be intentional, not random.
- Picking up a "dead end" item — one where you can only see 1 copy — and holding it for 8+ moves while hunting for the other two.
- Using a Fan booster when the tray is already 5+ items full — the reshuffled board can't be exploited with no tray room.
- Neglecting to use the Undo button after a clear tray mistake. One Undo used immediately can save an entire run.
Pro Tips Explained
The 3 pro tips above come from the failure patterns that show up repeatedly on Level 1506. Taken together they point at one theme — rim control — 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 should I focus on first in Level 1506?
Start with visibility, not matches. Level 1506 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.
Is there a trick to Match Factory Level 1506?
The closest thing to a trick on Level 1506 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.
What is the best booster to use on Level 1506?
The Fan booster is the most versatile choice for Level 1506. 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.
Level 1506 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.
