Detailed steps, unique tips, and video context for Match Factory Level 3713. Source video: Match Factory Level 4108.
1Quick Steps
- 1.Start by focusing on the central area of the board, as it has the highest concentration of identical items, making it easier to create matches.
- 2.Pay attention to the conveyor belt items, as they can help in creating matches by moving items closer together, especially in tight spaces.
- 3.Avoid filling up your collection bar with items that are not adjacent to each other on the board, as this will limit your options for creating matches.
- 4.Look for opportunities to make horizontal matches in the top row, as this can help clear items on the board and prevent them from moving down.
- 5.Use power-ups strategically, such as the bomb, to clear multiple items at once when you're stuck or when you're close to filling up your collection bar.

Try a different opening sequence, focus on tray space, or consider boosters.
!Pro Tips
- •Be patient and wait for the right moment to make a match, especially if you're close to filling up your collection bar.
- •Always keep an eye on the items that are being added to your collection bar, as they can sometimes create unexpected matches when moved by the conveyor belt.
- •Watch out for items that are blocked by other items on the board, as they may prevent you from making matches and can lead to a full collection bar.

Unlock Strategy→Complete strategy guide — level 3713
Match Factory Level 3713 is one of those high-tier puzzles that looks manageable at first glance but quickly reveals hidden complexity once you start moving pieces. Players who rush through the opening moves without a plan almost always find themselves with a full tray and no clear path forward. This guide breaks down exactly what you need to know to clear it efficiently on your next attempt.
Level 3713 in Context
Level 3713 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 3713 Distinct
Level 3713 ships with 5 walkthrough steps and 3 pro tips — about 206 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 3713 rewards a player who reads the pile before clicking, and punishes one who treats the board as a race.
What Level 3713 Tests
- Centre-first excavation on Level 3713 — 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 3713 — This step is about sequencing, and sequencing is what separates a two-attempt clear from a ten-attempt clear on a board like this.
- Special-item handling on Level 3713 — 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 3713, 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 3713. 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 3713, 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 3713, 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 3713 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 step is easy to misread as optional: "Start by focusing on the central area of the…" 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 second phase narrows the board: "Pay attention to the conveyor belt items, as they…" Special items often sit near the surface, which makes them tempting decoys. Clear the ordinary pieces around them first so the payoff actually lands.
- This is where the level starts to tighten: "Avoid filling up your collection bar with items that…" 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.
- Step 4 is the one most players skip: "Look for opportunities to make horizontal matches in the…" 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.
- The final step is a cleanup instruction: "Use power-ups strategically, such as the bomb, to clear…" 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
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 3713 without boosters first, and only spend coins once you can name the specific thing that keeps beating you.
If the failure on Level 3713 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 3713.
Undo deserves more credit than it gets on a board like Level 3713. 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 3713: 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
- Panicking when the tray fills to 5–6 items and making random clicks hoping to get lucky.
- Using a Fan booster when the tray is already 5+ items full — the reshuffled board can't be exploited with no tray room.
- Starting the run without a mental plan for which item types to prioritize. The first 5 clicks should be intentional, not random.
- 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 3713. 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
How many steps does it take to clear Level 3713?
The walkthrough for Level 3713 is broken into 5 phases, backed by 3 pro tips and roughly 206 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 3713?
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.
Is Match Factory Level 3713 beatable without boosters?
Yes — Level 3713 sits in the high-tier band of the game, and its 5-step walkthrough is designed to be followed without spending coins. The key is tray discipline: never collect from more than two or three item categories at once, and prioritize completing existing partial matches over picking up new items. Follow the step order above rather than improvising, because on this board the sequence matters more than raw speed.
Level 3713 is beatable with the right approach. Take your time with the opening moves, keep the tray clean, and trust the step-by-step process. If you're still struggling after a few attempts using this guide, try leaving the level and coming back later — sometimes a fresh perspective is all it takes. Good luck, and remember: the next level is always just one smart run away.
