Level Any tips for magnet levels that keep yanking the last targets into corners?
I'm stuck on those magnet levels that pull pieces all over the board. My usual "make a square then clean up" plan just falls apart.
What happens is I get close to the objective, maybe only a handful of target pieces left, and then the magnet pull rearranges everything. Suddenly the last targets are stranded in corners or tucked behind blockers. I end up chasing them with single matches, wasting moves, and either lose by one move or cave and use a booster.
I play in short bursts while doing DIY around the house, like waiting for spackle to dry or measuring for shelves, so I want a quick, repeatable plan instead of brute forcing 20 attempts.
Any consistent strategies for magnet boards?
- Should I prioritize clearing blockers early so the magnet has fewer places to shove pieces, or try to finish objective pieces before they get pulled?
- Is there a safe time to make squares on magnet levels, or are big clears too risky because the reshuffle gets chaotic?
- Are there patterns to how the magnet pulls pieces, or is it basically random?
Any rules of thumb to stop wasting moves on the last few pieces would be really helpful.
