Detailed steps, unique tips, and video context for Match Factory Level 3368. Source video: Match Factory Level 2759.
1Quick Steps
- 1.Start by focusing on the left side of the board to clear the candy canes. This will help you make matches with the other items that are spread out on the board.
- 2.Look for opportunities to create power-ups like the bomb or the lightning, as these can help clear multiple items in one move and save precious slots in your collection bar.
- 3.Try to match items that are in groups of three or more. This not only clears them from your collection bar but also potentially creates a cascade of matches that can help clear the board further.
- 4.Don't forget to rotate the board to find better match possibilities and to make use of every angle to your advantage.
- 5.Save your power-ups for when your collection bar is getting full. This can prevent you from running out of moves and losing the level.

!Pro Tips
- •Avoid tapping on items that don't lead to immediate matches, as this can clutter your collection bar quickly.
- •Be cautious about matching items that will fill up your collection bar with non-matching pairs. This can hinder your progress and make it harder to clear the board.
- •Look for color patterns or shapes that are more frequent on the board and try to create matches with those to maximize your chances of clearing the collection bar.

Stuck on Match Factory Level 3368? You're not alone. This high-tier level trips up even experienced players because it requires a specific sequencing discipline that isn't obvious from the layout. Whether you've attempted it once or a dozen times, the strategy below will help you understand why your previous runs failed — and what to do differently.
Level 3368 in Context
Level 3368 is in the high-difficulty tier of Match Factory — levels that have defeated many experienced players who thought they had the game figured out. Board complexity at this stage combines deep item burial, misleading item clusters, and limited tray breathing room in a way that demands the same strategies at every stage.
What Makes Level 3368 Distinct
Level 3368 ships with 5 walkthrough steps and 3 pro tips — about 218 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 3368, remember the order of operations. The board is solvable; it is the sequence that players get wrong.
What Level 3368 Tests
- Move sequencing on Level 3368 — This step is about sequencing, and sequencing is what separates a two-attempt clear from a ten-attempt clear on a board like this.
- Collection-bar economy on Level 3368 — 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.
- Special-item handling on Level 3368 — 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 3368, 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 3368. 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 3368, 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
The mid-game phase on Level 3368 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 3368.
Step-by-Step Analysis (5 phases)
- The final step is a cleanup instruction: "Start by focusing on the left side of the…" 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.
- The second phase narrows the board: "Look for opportunities to create power-ups like the bomb…" 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.
- This step is easy to misread as optional: "Try to match items that are in groups of…" Colour-first triage keeps the board legible. Once you know which two or three colours dominate the visible pile, every click has an obvious best answer.
- The opening step sets the tone: "Don't forget to rotate the board to find better…" 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.
- This is where the level starts to tighten: "Save your power-ups for when your collection bar is…" 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.
Booster Strategy
Without a stored difficulty rating for Level 3368, plan the run around what you can observe: how many item types are visible, how deeply the pile is layered, and how quickly your tray fills. Those three readings tell you more about booster need on Level 3368 than any label would.
Practical order of operations for Level 3368: play it clean first, note the exact moment the run goes wrong, then pick the booster that addresses that moment. Blocked access early is a Fan problem. A missing third copy late is a Magnet problem. A single bad click that snowballed is an Undo problem.
Do not stack boosters on one attempt at Level 3368 unless you are close to finishing an event or Swagbucks objective where the coins pay for themselves. On a normal run, one well-timed booster beats three desperate ones, and the coins you save cover several future attempts.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- 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.
- Starting the run without a mental plan for which item types to prioritize. The first 5 clicks should be intentional, not random.
- Ignoring the center pile in favor of outer-edge items, which are easier to click but often block access to the most important pieces.
- Giving up before the mid-game reveal. Many Match Factory levels look impossible until the surface pile clears, at which point they become manageable.
Pro Tips Explained
The 3 pro tips above come from the failure patterns that show up repeatedly on Level 3368. 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
What's the fastest way to beat Level 3368 without watching a video?
The fastest text-only approach for Level 3368: 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 3368?
The closest thing to a trick on Level 3368 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 3368?
The Fan booster is the most versatile choice for Level 3368. 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.
That covers Level 3368 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.
