How do I beat Match Factory Level 5345?

1) Scan the entire board first and identify the three largest clusters of identical items, as these are your safest early clears. 2) Tap one item from each of three different clusters to fill the bar with three distinct types, keeping your options open for the next match. 3) Prioritize matching items that are partially hidden behind others, since clearing them reveals new layers and frees up space. 4) When the bar has five or more slots filled, stop tapping new items and focus only on completing a match with what you already have. 5) Use the shuffle button only when no visible matches exist and the bar is nearly full, as it can rearrange items into easier groups. 6) After each match, immediately check if the newly exposed items form a trio with anything already in your bar or on the board. 7) Clear items from the edges inward to reduce the board's height, which makes remaining items easier to see and tap accurately.

What are common mistakes on Match Factory Level 5345?

1) Avoid tapping items that are isolated with no matching partners visible; they waste bar slots and limit your flexibility. 2) Keep at least two empty slots in the bar at all times to handle unexpected matches or power-up opportunities. 3) If you accidentally fill the bar with six different items, use a power-up like the magnet or extra slot rather than risking a game over.

Level 5345 Strategy Notes

This is one of our priority Match Factory walkthroughs because it is either a recent level update or an Ultra Hard stage. Treat the first attempt as a scan: identify the largest visible clusters, then clear exposed triples before digging into buried objects.

For Level 5345, the safest route is to keep at least two tray slots open while you work through the first half of the board. If a match needs a third item that is still hidden, leave that pair alone and switch to a visible set instead.

Complete strategy guide — level 5345

Match Factory Level 5345 represents a classic endgame-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 5345 in Context

Level 5345 is endgame territory. At this point in your Match Factory journey, you've seen every board element the game has to offer — the challenge now is executing known strategies with precision under increasingly difficult constraints.

What Makes Level 5345 Distinct

Level 5345 ships with 7 walkthrough steps and 3 pro tips — about 221 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 5345 rewards a player who reads the pile before clicking, and punishes one who treats the board as a race.

What Level 5345 Tests

Rim control on Level 5345 — 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.
Layered burial on Level 5345 — Buried items are the level's pacing mechanism: the board deliberately hides part of each item type so you cannot finish a trio without doing excavation work first.
Move sequencing on Level 5345 — 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 5345 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 5345. 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 5345, 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

The mid-game phase on Level 5345 is when you need to shift from reactive clicking to proactive planning. You've probably got a rough sense of the board layout by now — use that knowledge.

The key mid-game skill is "look-ahead" — instead of clicking the next obvious match, trace 2–3 moves into the future. "If I pick up this yellow star now, what opens up? Can I complete the yellow star match in the next 2 clicks? What does that expose?" Players who think one move at a time in the mid-game almost always find themselves in trouble by the final third of the level.

Also watch for "dead end" item types — items where you can only see 1 copy and there's no way to know where the other two are. Avoid picking these up until you can see all three. Holding a dead-end item in your tray for 8+ moves while hunting for its partners is a classic trap on Level 5345.

Step-by-Step Analysis (7 phases)

The mid-phase step is the pivot of the run: "Scan the entire board first and identify the three…" Prioritising is the whole skill here: rank the visible item types by how close they are to a trio, then work that list top-down instead of clicking whatever catches your eye.
Step 2 is the one most players skip: "Tap one item from each of three different clusters…" 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 is where the level starts to tighten: "Prioritize matching items that are partially hidden behind others,…" 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.
A later step worth reading carefully: "When the bar has five or more slots filled,…" 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 opening step sets the tone: "Use the shuffle button only when no visible matches…" 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: "After each match, immediately check if the newly exposed…" 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.
The final step is a cleanup instruction: "Clear items from the edges inward to reduce the…" Edge work is about access: rim pieces rarely block anything important, so they are the safest place to spend clicks when you are waiting for a buried item to surface.

Booster Strategy

Level 5345 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 5345 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 5345, 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 5345: 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

Panicking when the tray fills to 5–6 items and making random clicks hoping to get lucky.
Clicking the most visually prominent items (shiny, animated) instead of the strategically correct items.
Neglecting to use the Undo button after a clear tray mistake. One Undo used immediately can save an entire run.
Starting the run without a mental plan for which item types to prioritize. The first 5 clicks should be intentional, not random.

Pro Tips Explained

The 3 pro tips above come from the failure patterns that show up repeatedly on Level 5345. 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

What is the best booster to use on Level 5345?

The Fan booster is the most versatile choice for Level 5345. 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.

What's the fastest way to beat Level 5345 without watching a video?

The fastest text-only approach for Level 5345: 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.

What should I focus on first in Level 5345?

Start with visibility, not matches. Level 5345 hides part of its item distribution under the surface layer, so your first job is to expose enough of the board to know which types are plentiful. Once you can see two copies of a type, that type becomes a safe commitment; until then, treat every pick-up as a slot you may not get back.

With this guide in hand, you have everything you need to tackle Level 5345 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.
