Detailed steps, unique tips, and video context for Match Factory Level 3733. Source video: Match Factory Level 4108.
1Quick Steps
- 1.Start by clearing the outer edges of the board to create more space for matching. Focus on any 3-in-a-row or L-shaped formations that may be easier to spot and tap.
- 2.Look for opportunities to create matches on the collection bar itself. This will help prevent it from filling up too quickly and also free up space on the board.
- 3.Pay attention to any multipliers or special items that appear. Use them strategically to clear larger numbers of items in fewer moves.
- 4.As the board becomes more cluttered, prioritize clearing items that are blocking potential matches. This may require making less optimal matches in the short term to create better opportunities later on.
- 5.Save your special items for the endgame. If you find yourself with a nearly full collection bar and only a few moves left, use your special items to make large matches and clear the board.

!Pro Tips
- •Be patient and don't rush into making matches that don't contribute to clearing the board. It's often better to wait for a better opportunity than to clutter the board further.
- •Keep an eye on the collection bar and try to prevent it from reaching its limit. Clearing items from the board is more important than making matches just for the sake of making them.
- •Remember that the game is 3D, so don't overlook items that may be hidden behind others. Rotate the board to see all angles and find hidden matches.

Unlock Strategy→Complete strategy guide — level 3733
Level 3733 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 3733 in Context
By Level 3733, 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 3733 Distinct
Level 3733 ships with 5 walkthrough steps and 3 pro tips — about 238 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.
Everything below is written for the board as it stands at the start of a run. If the pile settles differently for you, keep the principles and adjust the specifics.
What Level 3733 Tests
- Rim control on Level 3733 — 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.
- Move sequencing on Level 3733 — This step is about sequencing, and sequencing is what separates a two-attempt clear from a ten-attempt clear on a board like this.
- Collection-bar economy on Level 3733 — 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.
How to Start: The Opening Phase
Level 3733 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 3733. 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 3733, 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 3733, 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 3733 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 clearing the outer edges of the board…" 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.
- This is where the level starts to tighten: "Look for opportunities to create matches on the collection…" 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 second phase narrows the board: "Pay attention to any multipliers or special items that…" 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.
- A later step worth reading carefully: "As the board becomes more cluttered, prioritize clearing items…" 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 opening step sets the tone: "Save your special items for the endgame. If you…" 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
Level 3733 is best approached as a no-booster run first, with boosters treated as a correction for a specific board state rather than an opening move. That framing matters: players who open with a booster on Level 3733 usually spend it before they know which item types are scarce, which is exactly the information the booster is supposed to buy them.
If you do reach for one on Level 3733, sequence it after a completed match rather than mid-trio. Finishing a match first returns slots to the tray, so the reshuffle or pull that follows can actually be acted on instead of admired.
Keep a rough coin budget for Level 3733: one booster per two attempts is a sane ceiling. If you are spending more than that, the fix is a change in approach — usually committing to fewer item types at once — rather than a bigger spend.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Leaving corner pieces for last, then discovering they are walled in once the middle of the board has collapsed.
- Starting the run without a mental plan for which item types to prioritize. The first 5 clicks should be intentional, not random.
- Treating the level as a speed challenge and clicking too fast to plan ahead. Match Factory rewards deliberate play over speed.
- 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.
Pro Tips Explained
The 3 pro tips above come from the failure patterns that show up repeatedly on Level 3733. 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
Does the item layout change every time I play Level 3733?
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.
Why do I keep failing Match Factory Level 3733?
The most common reason players repeatedly fail Level 3733 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 is the best booster to use on Level 3733?
The Fan booster is the most versatile choice for Level 3733. 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.
Level 3733 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.
