If Match Factory Level 9679 has you stuck, the issue almost certainly isn't luck. This endgame stage has a reliable solution path once you understand the underlying puzzle structure. The walkthrough and tips below are distilled from repeated playthroughs and community input to give you the fastest, most booster-efficient route to the finish.
Level 9679 in Context
At Level 9679 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 9679 Distinct
Level 9679 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.
If you only remember one thing about Level 9679, remember the order of operations. The board is solvable; it is the sequence that players get wrong.
What Level 9679 Tests
- Collection-bar economy on Level 9679 — 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.
- Booster timing on Level 9679 — Boosters are a resource trade: they convert coins into board state. The step mentions them because this level has at least one configuration where that trade is clearly worth it — not because you should open with one.
- Move sequencing on Level 9679 — 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 9679 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 9679. 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 9679, 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 9679, 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 9679 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)
- A later step worth reading carefully: "Level 9679 challenges you to clear every match without…" 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.
- This step is easy to misread as optional: "Clear locked or frozen items as soon as possible…" 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.
- The second phase narrows the board: "After using a booster, immediately capitalize on the new…" Used well, a booster fixes a specific problem: a jammed pile, a bar about to overflow, or one missing copy. Used as a panic button on a full bar, it fixes nothing.
- This is where the level starts to tighten: "Manage your collection bar space carefully - never let…" 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.
- The final step is a cleanup instruction: "Start by matching items that are blocking access to…" This step is about sequencing, and sequencing is what separates a two-attempt clear from a ten-attempt clear on a board like this.
- Step 6 is the one most players skip: "Be prepared to restart if early moves don't go…" 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
Treat Level 9679 as a strategy check rather than a resource check. With no rating on record, the level is telling you nothing about how much you should spend — only about how well you are managing the tray.
If the tray is what keeps ending your runs on Level 9679, no booster fixes that. Go back to the walkthrough steps above, replay the opening with the single rule of never holding more than three item types, and you will usually clear it without touching the shop.
If instead the board itself keeps jamming — clusters that leave nothing reachable — that is a legitimate Fan moment on Level 9679. Use it with two or fewer items in the tray, then rebuild from the fresh layout.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Neglecting to use the Undo button after a clear tray mistake. One Undo used immediately can save an entire run.
- Refusing to use boosters at all because of coin conservation — sometimes one well-timed Fan booster saves three future attempts.
- Starting the run without a mental plan for which item types to prioritize. The first 5 clicks should be intentional, not random.
- 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 9679. Taken together they point at one theme — collection-bar economy — 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 9679?
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.
What should I focus on first in Level 9679?
Start with visibility, not matches. Level 9679 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.
Why do I keep failing Match Factory Level 9679?
The most common reason players repeatedly fail Level 9679 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.
Don't get discouraged if Level 9679 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.
