Detailed steps, unique tips, and video context for Match Factory Level 3623. Source video: Match Factory Level 4108.
1Quick Steps
- 1.Begin by focusing on the center of the board where the most items are packed, tapping items to add them to your collection bar. This will help create more open spaces and potential matches.
- 2.Prioritize clearing items that are close to filling your collection bar to prevent it from overflowing. Pay close attention to items that are two away from a match to make quick clears.
- 3.Look for opportunities to make 'L' or 'T' shaped matches which can clear multiple items at once, maximizing your points and keeping your bar from filling up.
- 4.Take advantage of any power-ups that might be available. Use them strategically to clear large clusters of items or to help with tough-to-reach matches.
- 5.Keep an eye on the board for items that can make long chains of matches. These can help clear a significant portion of your collection bar and the board at the same time.

!Pro Tips
- •Avoid getting fixated on one area of the board; make sure to keep an overview of the entire layout to spot potential matches and prevent your collection bar from getting filled too quickly.
- •Be cautious not to create large gaps in the board layout as it can limit the number of possible matches, making it harder to clear items.
- •Plan your moves in advance. Sometimes it's better to make a smaller match to set up a larger one later, rather than clearing smaller groups of items immediately.

Unlock Strategy→Complete strategy guide — level 3623
Match Factory Level 3623 represents a classic high-tier-tier challenge: plenty of items on the board, but tight tray space and hidden dependencies that punish random clicking. This guide covers the opening strategy, mid-game tray management, and the specific moves players most often get wrong on this level.
Level 3623 in Context
By Level 3623, you've cleared hundreds of levels and built real game intuition. But this tier still surprises players who rely on feel rather than strategy. The guide below is especially useful here because the optimal move sequence isn't always the one that feels natural.
What Makes Level 3623 Distinct
Level 3623 ships with 5 walkthrough steps and 3 pro tips — about 237 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 3623 rewards a player who reads the pile before clicking, and punishes one who treats the board as a race.
What Level 3623 Tests
- Centre-first excavation on Level 3623 — 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.
- Collection-bar economy on Level 3623 — 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 3623 — 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
The first 8–10 clicks in Level 3623 largely determine whether you'll win or not. The goal of the opening phase is simple: create visibility. The more items you can see, the better your decision-making.
Start by targeting items on the outer edges and top of the main pile — these are the "unlock" items that expose what's beneath. Don't try to complete matches in the first few moves unless one falls right into your lap. Instead, think of the opening as an "information gathering" phase where your goal is to expose the widest possible selection of items.
After 6–8 clicks you should have a much clearer picture of which item types are densely represented (meaning they're easy to match) versus which types have most of their copies buried deep. Use this information to decide your first committed match sequence.
Tray Management: The Core Skill
The seven-slot tray is the heart of every Match Factory battle, and Level 3623 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 3623 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
Around the halfway mark of Level 3623, 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 3623 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 mid-phase step is the pivot of the run: "Begin by focusing on the center of the board…" 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.
- Step 2 is the one most players skip: "Prioritize clearing items that are close to filling your…" 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.
- The final step is a cleanup instruction: "Look for opportunities to make 'L' or 'T' shaped…" This step is about sequencing, and sequencing is what separates a two-attempt clear from a ten-attempt clear on a board like this.
- This step is easy to misread as optional: "Take advantage of any power-ups that might be available.…" 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: "Keep an eye on the board for items that…" 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.
Booster Strategy
Treat Level 3623 as a strategy check rather than a resource check. With no rating on record, the level is telling you nothing about how much you should spend — only about how well you are managing the tray.
If the tray is what keeps ending your runs on Level 3623, no booster fixes that. Go back to the walkthrough steps above, replay the opening with the single rule of never holding more than three item types, and you will usually clear it without touching the shop.
If instead the board itself keeps jamming — clusters that leave nothing reachable — that is a legitimate Fan moment on Level 3623. Use it with two or fewer items in the tray, then rebuild from the fresh layout.
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.
- Clicking the most visually prominent items (shiny, animated) instead of the strategically correct items.
- Giving up before the mid-game reveal. Many Match Factory levels look impossible until the surface pile clears, at which point they become manageable.
- Ignoring the center pile in favor of outer-edge items, which are easier to click but often block access to the most important pieces.
Pro Tips Explained
The 3 pro tips above come from the failure patterns that show up repeatedly on Level 3623. Taken together they point at one theme — centre-first excavation — 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 is the best booster to use on Level 3623?
The Fan booster is the most versatile choice for Level 3623. 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.
How many steps does it take to clear Level 3623?
The walkthrough for Level 3623 is broken into 5 phases, backed by 3 pro tips and roughly 237 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.
Why do I keep failing Match Factory Level 3623?
The most common reason players repeatedly fail Level 3623 is tray mismanagement in the opening moves. If you pick up items from too many categories before completing any match, the seven-slot tray fills with unmatched pieces and the run is effectively over. Replay it with a single rule: never hold more than three different item types at the same time.
With this guide in hand, you have everything you need to tackle Level 3623 systematically. The strategies covered here — opening excavation, tray discipline, mid-game sequencing, and smart booster timing — aren't just for this level. They're the foundational skills that will carry you through everything ahead in Match Factory. Apply them consistently and the wins will follow.
