Detailed steps, unique tips, and video context for Match Factory Level 3624. Source video: Match Factory Level 4108.
1Quick Steps
- 1.Start by focusing on the center of the board, where the items are most densely packed. This will give you the best chance of making matches early in the game.
- 2.Look for vertical and horizontal lines of three or more items to create matches. This is especially important in the center where items are tightly packed.
- 3.Prioritize clearing the corners of the board as they can quickly fill up with unwanted items, which can block your view and access to more valuable matches.
- 4.Keep an eye on the 7-slot collection bar at the bottom. Try to match items in the bar as soon as possible to prevent it from getting filled up.
- 5.Use power-ups sparingly. Save them for when you're stuck or when you have a high chance of making a large match that can clear multiple items from the bar.

Try a different opening sequence, focus on tray space, or consider boosters.
!Pro Tips
- •Remember that matching four or more items creates a special item that can help clear a larger area. Try to create these special items to make progress on this challenging level.
- •Avoid getting fixated on one area of the board. Keep rotating the view to see different sections and find matches that might be harder to spot from one angle.
- •Watch out for items that can block potential matches. Try to clear these items first to open up more opportunities for making matches.

Unlock Strategy→Complete strategy guide — level 3624
Match Factory Level 3624 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 3624 in Context
Levels around 3624 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 3624 Distinct
Level 3624 ships with 5 walkthrough steps and 3 pro tips — about 224 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 3624, remember the order of operations. The board is solvable; it is the sequence that players get wrong.
What Level 3624 Tests
- Centre-first excavation on Level 3624 — 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.
- Move sequencing on Level 3624 — This step is about sequencing, and sequencing is what separates a two-attempt clear from a ten-attempt clear on a board like this.
- Trio completion on Level 3624 — Grouping into threes is where the score and the board state both move. A completed trio returns slots to you, which is the only way to keep playing a tightening board.
How to Start: The Opening Phase
The first 8–10 clicks in Level 3624 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 3624 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 3624 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 3624, 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 3624 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)
- This is where the level starts to tighten: "Start by focusing on the center of the board,…" Working the middle first is the difference between playing the board you can see and playing the board that is actually there — the outer pieces are mostly a distraction until the centre has moved.
- The opening step sets the tone: "Look for vertical and horizontal lines of three or…" Treat the centre as the level's engine room. Every match up there tends to shake loose pieces that were sealed under the top layer, which is why this step comes before any tidy-up work on the outside.
- This step is easy to misread as optional: "Prioritize clearing the corners of the board as they…" 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.
- The final step is a cleanup instruction: "Keep an eye on the 7-slot collection bar at…" The lower rows are where the board keeps its tempo. If you let them sit while picking at the top, you spend the mid-game unpicking a pile that should already be gone.
- A later step worth reading carefully: "Use power-ups sparingly. Save them for when you're stuck…" 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
Because Level 3624 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 3624, 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 3624 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
- Leaving corner pieces for last, then discovering they are walled in once the middle of the board has collapsed.
- 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 a "dead end" item — one where you can only see 1 copy — and holding it for 8+ moves while hunting for the other two.
- Clicking the most visually prominent items (shiny, animated) instead of the strategically correct items.
Pro Tips Explained
The 3 pro tips above come from the failure patterns that show up repeatedly on Level 3624. 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
Why do I keep failing Match Factory Level 3624?
The most common reason players repeatedly fail Level 3624 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.
What's the fastest way to beat Level 3624 without watching a video?
The fastest text-only approach for Level 3624: 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.
Does the item layout change every time I play Level 3624?
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.
Match Factory Level 3624 rewards patience and planning over speed and luck. Use the walkthrough steps as your framework, apply the tray management principles to every click, and don't hesitate to use the Undo button when you catch a mistake early. With focused play, this level is very much within reach. Good luck on your next attempt!
