Stuck on a Level? Try These Tactics
Hard boards are usually a reading problem, not a luck problem. Six tactics that turn a stuck level into a cleared one.
Every Match Heist level is solvable. When a board resists, it is nearly always because the first six or seven taps went in without a plan. These tactics fix that.
Six tactics that work
Read the board before your first tap
Take a few seconds to spot which colours have three or more cars visible. There is no timer pressure on an ordinary level, so use it.
Work top-down
Cars stacked on top block everything beneath them. Removing a top layer often reveals the third car of a set you already hold.
Commit to one colour at a time
Completing a set frees three slots at once. Chasing three different colours in parallel is what fills the tray.
Save two slots as working room
Treat the last two tray slots as reserved. They are the difference between digging one layer deeper and losing the board.
Restart early, not late
If the tray is full of singles at the halfway mark, restart immediately. A fresh attempt with a plan beats grinding out a lost board.
Spend power-ups on the bottleneck
Use a power-up at the moment it unlocks a set you can actually complete, not the first time a level feels hard.
If a specific level looks impossible no matter the order you play it, tell us the level number through support — our designers check every reported board.
Frequently asked questions
Is every Match Heist level winnable?
Levels are designed and tested to be solvable. If you believe a board cannot be cleared, send us the level number and we will re-check it.
Do I have to spend money to get past hard levels?
No. In-app purchases are optional. Hard levels are meant to be cleared by playing the board in a better order, not by paying.
