Complete strategy guide — level 5979

Stuck on Match Factory Level 5979? You're not alone. This endgame level trips up even experienced players because it requires a specific sequencing discipline that isn't obvious from the layout. Whether you've attempted it once or a dozen times, the strategy below will help you understand why your previous runs failed — and what to do differently.

Level 5979 in Context

At Level 5979 the margin for error is thin enough that a single careless pick-up can decide the run. The good news is that the same principles still work — excavation, tray economy, and sequencing — they simply have to be applied without the slack earlier levels provided.

What Makes Level 5979 Distinct

Level 5979 ships with 6 walkthrough steps and 2 pro tips — about 100 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 5979 rewards a player who reads the pile before clicking, and punishes one who treats the board as a race.

What Level 5979 Tests

Special-item handling on Level 5979 — 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.
Bottom-up clearing on Level 5979 — Starting low matters because bottom-heavy piles release their items in waves. Clear the base and the upper layer loses support, which drops new matches into reach without extra clicks.
Move sequencing on Level 5979 — 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 5979 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 5979 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 5979 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 5979, 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 5979 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 (6 phases)

This step is easy to misread as optional: "Level 5979 requires a sharp eye and good timing…" This step is about sequencing, and sequencing is what separates a two-attempt clear from a ten-attempt clear on a board like this.
The mid-phase step is the pivot of the run: "Use power-ups strategically when you're stuck or running low…" 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 opening step sets the tone: "Create mental categories for similar-looking items to avoid confusion." Planning clicks in advance is not slow play — on a board with this much hidden information it is the only way to avoid spending slots on items you cannot finish.
The second phase narrows the board: "Work systematically from one side of the board to…" Planning clicks in advance is not slow play — on a board with this much hidden information it is the only way to avoid spending slots on items you cannot finish.
This is where the level starts to tighten: "Focus on the bottom layer items in multi-layer boards…" Starting low matters because bottom-heavy piles release their items in waves. Clear the base and the upper layer loses support, which drops new matches into reach without extra clicks.
The final step is a cleanup instruction: "When multiple matches are possible, choose the one that…" This step is about sequencing, and sequencing is what separates a two-attempt clear from a ten-attempt clear on a board like this.

Booster Strategy

There is no rating on file for Level 5979, which usually means the board is winnable with clean play and punishes impatience instead of demanding resources. Treat boosters on Level 5979 as insurance, not as part of the plan.

The one exception worth planning for: a first attempt on Level 5979 that ends with two items of the same type stranded in the tray and no visible third copy. That is the classic Magnet scenario, and recognising it early saves you from repeating the same failed run three times.

Otherwise, spend your attention rather than your coins on Level 5979. Reading the pile before each click costs nothing, and on a board with no recorded rating that discipline is worth more than any single booster.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Matching single items on empty parts of the board instead of aiming every pick-up at something that is blocking access.
Ignoring the center pile in favor of outer-edge items, which are easier to click but often block access to the most important pieces.
Clicking the most visually prominent items (shiny, animated) instead of the strategically correct items.
Panicking when the tray fills to 5–6 items and making random clicks hoping to get lucky.

Pro Tips Explained

The 2 pro tips above come from the failure patterns that show up repeatedly on Level 5979. Taken together they point at one theme — special-item handling — 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

Is there a trick to Match Factory Level 5979?

The closest thing to a trick on Level 5979 is using the physics simulation deliberately. When you complete a match involving pieces that sit next to a buried cluster, the simulation rolls those hidden items into view for free. Aiming matches at pieces that support the pile therefore reveals more than aiming at whichever item happens to be nearest your cursor.

What is the best booster to use on Level 5979?

The Fan booster is the most versatile choice for Level 5979. 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.

Does the item layout change every time I play Level 5979?

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.

Don't get discouraged if Level 5979 takes a few attempts — even with the optimal strategy, some board randomization means not every run comes together. The key is learning something from each failed attempt: did the tray fill up too early? Did you miss the mid-game item cascade? Use each run as data, refine your approach, and the clear will come.
