Detailed steps, unique tips, and video context for Match Factory Level 3613. Source video: Match Factory Level 4108.
1Quick Steps
- 1.Start by focusing on clearing the items near the edges of the board to create more space for matches. This will help you manage the collection bar more effectively.
- 2.Keep an eye on the items that are adjacent to the collection bar. Prioritize matching these as they can quickly fill up your collection bar if left unchecked.
- 3.Use special items like bombs and rainbow items strategically. Save them for moments when you have a high chance of making multiple matches or when the board is getting too cluttered.
- 4.Look for opportunities to create L-shaped or T-shaped matches. These can help you clear multiple items at once and are especially useful in tight spaces.
- 5.Plan your moves ahead to avoid getting stuck with a full collection bar. Try to anticipate which items will be added next and make moves that will help clear those items before they become a problem.

!Pro Tips
- •Avoid making single matches unless absolutely necessary, as they can quickly fill up your collection bar and make it harder to make more effective matches.
- •Pay attention to the items that are being added to the collection bar from the board. If you see a pattern, try to clear those items first to prevent them from becoming a problem later on.
- •Remember that the board is dynamic, and new items will continue to be added. Don't get too focused on clearing one area at the expense of the whole board; keep an eye on the overall layout and make moves that will help you manage your collection bar effectively.

Stuck on Match Factory Level 3613? 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 3613 in Context
Levels around 3613 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 3613 Distinct
Level 3613 ships with 5 walkthrough steps and 3 pro tips — about 258 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 3613 rewards a player who reads the pile before clicking, and punishes one who treats the board as a race.
What Level 3613 Tests
- Rim control on Level 3613 — 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.
- Collection-bar economy on Level 3613 — 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.
- Move sequencing on Level 3613 — 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
Level 3613 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 3613. 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 3613, 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 3613 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 (5 phases)
- The final step is a cleanup instruction: "Start by focusing on clearing the items near the…" 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.
- A later step worth reading carefully: "Keep an eye on the items that are adjacent…" 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.
- The second phase narrows the board: "Use special items like bombs and rainbow items strategically.…" 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.
- The mid-phase step is the pivot of the run: "Look for opportunities to create L-shaped or T-shaped matches.…" 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.
- This step is easy to misread as optional: "Plan your moves ahead to avoid getting stuck with…" 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
Because Level 3613 has no difficulty rating attached, the safest assumption is that it sits near the middle of the curve: beatable with a clean run, frustrating with a careless one. Boosters exist to convert the second case into the first.
If you decide to use one on Level 3613, pick the moment deliberately. The best windows are right after a completed trio, when your tray has room, or right before a cluster you know is blocking a whole item type. Both are moments where the board state is simple enough to evaluate the result.
Track what you spend on Level 3613 across attempts. Two attempts with one booster each usually beats five attempts with none, but only if the booster is aimed at the actual failure — otherwise you are paying coins to repeat the same mistake with a different layout.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Ignoring the center pile in favor of outer-edge items, which are easier to click but often block access to the most important pieces.
- Picking up items from too many different categories in the opening moves, filling the tray with unmatched pairs.
- Panicking when the tray fills to 5–6 items and making random clicks hoping to get lucky.
- 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.
Pro Tips Explained
The 3 pro tips above come from the failure patterns that show up repeatedly on Level 3613. 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
How many steps does it take to clear Level 3613?
The walkthrough for Level 3613 is broken into 5 phases, backed by 3 pro tips and roughly 258 words of board-specific guidance. An efficient clear generally lands somewhere in the 20–35 move range depending on how the pile settles, and runs that stretch well past that usually indicate a clogged tray rather than bad luck.
Does the item layout change every time I play Level 3613?
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.
What is the best booster to use on Level 3613?
The Fan booster is the most versatile choice for Level 3613. 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 3613 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.
