Detailed steps, unique tips, and video context for Match Factory Level 3373. Source video: Match Factory Level 2759.
1Quick Steps
- 1.Start by focusing on the top left corner of the game board. Clear out the items in this area to create more space and potential matches.
- 2.Look for opportunities to make matches that can clear multiple items in the collection bar. This will help you manage the bar more effectively.
- 3.Avoid making matches that will add more items to the collection bar unless you are creating a larger match that will clear the bar of multiple items.
- 4.Use power-ups strategically. If you have any available, save them for when the collection bar is getting full to help you clear it quickly.
- 5.Keep an eye on the board for any 'L' or 'T' shaped formations. These can be turned into larger matches by adding one more item, so be ready to take advantage of them.

!Pro Tips
- •Be patient and avoid making rushed moves. This level requires careful planning to manage the collection bar without filling it up.
- •Always be on the lookout for potential matches that can help clear multiple items in the collection bar at once. This will save you from making unnecessary moves.
- •Remember to rotate the board if needed. Sometimes, a different perspective can help you see matches that you might have missed otherwise.

Unlock Strategy→Complete strategy guide — level 3373
Level 3373 in Match Factory demands more than just fast tapping — it demands a clear mental model of item priority and tray discipline. As a high-tier 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 3373 in Context
Levels around 3373 are where Match Factory stops being forgiving about order of operations. Two players can make the same number of matches and end up in completely different board states, purely because one sequenced their clicks around the buried layer and the other did not.
What Makes Level 3373 Distinct
Level 3373 ships with 5 walkthrough steps and 3 pro tips — about 205 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 3373, remember the order of operations. The board is solvable; it is the sequence that players get wrong.
What Level 3373 Tests
- Corner clearance on Level 3373 — Corner pieces sit behind the fewest neighbours, so they are cheap to clear but expensive to leave: once the middle collapses they can end up walled in by pieces you cannot reach.
- Surface-layer removal on Level 3373 — 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.
- Move sequencing on Level 3373 — 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
On Level 3373, 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 3373. 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 3373, 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
Around the halfway mark of Level 3373, 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 3373 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 (5 phases)
- The second phase narrows the board: "Start by focusing on the top left corner of…" Clearing corners is really about board geometry: you are removing the pieces that pinch the pile, which makes every later match easier to reach by hand.
- This is where the level starts to tighten: "Look for opportunities to make matches that can clear…" 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.
- This step is easy to misread as optional: "Avoid making matches that will add more items to…" Bar discipline beats speed here. Keeping two or three slots free at all times is what turns a losing board into a recoverable one, because it leaves room to react when a buried piece finally appears.
- The mid-phase step is the pivot of the run: "Use power-ups strategically. If you have any available, save…" Bar discipline beats speed here. Keeping two or three slots free at all times is what turns a losing board into a recoverable one, because it leaves room to react when a buried piece finally appears.
- A later step worth reading carefully: "Keep an eye on the board for any 'L'…" 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 3373 without boosters first, and only spend coins once you can name the specific thing that keeps beating you.
If the failure on Level 3373 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 3373.
Undo deserves more credit than it gets on a board like Level 3373. 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 3373: 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
- Giving up before the mid-game reveal. Many Match Factory levels look impossible until the surface pile clears, at which point they become manageable.
- Picking up items from too many different categories in the opening moves, filling the tray with unmatched pairs.
- 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.
Pro Tips Explained
The 3 pro tips above come from the failure patterns that show up repeatedly on Level 3373. Taken together they point at one theme — corner clearance — 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 3373?
Start with visibility, not matches. Level 3373 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.
What's the fastest way to beat Level 3373 without watching a video?
The fastest text-only approach for Level 3373: 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.
What is the best booster to use on Level 3373?
The Fan booster is the most versatile choice for Level 3373. 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 3373 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.
