To beat levels 796 through 800 in Gardenscapes, focus your opening moves on clearing central bottlenecks, then make matches at the bottom of the board to trigger cascades and assemble explosive combinations. Each stage in this group features restricted layouts, heavy obstacles, or segmented columns that drain your move counter if you target perimeter items too early.
Level 796: Clear the Center and Match Low
Level 796 constricts the board in the middle, preventing pieces from dropping into the lower sections.
- Clear the central corridor: Look for horizontal matches directly touching the primary blockers. Even small Firecracker blasts will break the barrier and establish piece flow downward.
- Shift to the bottom rows: Once the lower board is populated, prioritize matches at the bottom. These moves trigger automatic cascades in the upper section, which generate passive matches and charge your Rainbow Blast gauge without spending extra turns.
- Ignore isolated side targets early: Do not waste moves trying to clear peripheral goals in narrow corners. Let cascades weaken them, then clear remaining pieces once the board is fully open.
Level 797: Break Layered Obstacles with Explosives
Level 797 segments the board using multi-hit obstacles that require two or three adjacent hits to break. Standard three-piece matches cannot dismantle these blockers quickly enough within the allotted move count.
Prioritize creating Bombs and TNT barrels through T-shaped, L-shaped, or five-piece matches. Place or slide two explosives next to each other whenever possible. Detonating paired explosives doubles the blast area and shatters reinforced obstacles in a single action.
| Blocker or Hazard | Clearing Priority | Recommended Clearing Tool |
|---|---|---|
| Bottleneck Divisors | Critical (Turns 1–5) | Dual explosive combinations |
| Multi-layer Crates | High (Early to Mid-Game) | Direct Bomb or TNT detonation |
| Target Collectibles | High (Late Game) | Rainbow Blast color targeting |
| Narrow Edge Tiles | Low (Mid-Game) | Passive cascades or Firecrackers |
Level 798: Manage Column Portals and Drop Paths
Level 798 divides the playing field into compartments linked by portals. Pieces matched in the top compartment feed directly into the lower area.
- Trace the refill flow: Before making a match, check which column feeds your target area. If collection items or lemonade glasses must reach bottom exit points, clear pieces in the feeder compartment above rather than near the exits to keep tiles moving.
- Prevent entry jams: Watch the tiles directly under each portal exit. A blockage there freezes piece refills across that entire vertical line.
- Fire vertical Rockets: Align and detonate vertical Rockets along columns containing portal entrances. A single Rocket clears the entire line and pulls an entire fresh column through the portal, realigning blocked goals below.
Level 799: Form High-Impact Rainbow Blast Combinations
Level 799 features high collection quotas alongside a restrictive move count, making standard piece matching insufficient.
Focus on generating explosive power-ups immediately to charge the Rainbow Blast gauge. Once charged, avoid using the Rainbow Blast on a single color right away unless it completes the level or removes a critical obstacle. Instead, maneuver pieces to pair the Rainbow Blast with another power-up:
- Rainbow Blast + Bomb or Rocket: Converts every standard tile matching the target color into that explosive, creating widespread board-clearing detonations.
- Double Rainbow Blast: Clears the entire visible board, removing one layer from every obstacle and collecting all active targets in a single move.
Taking one or two extra turns to position two Rainbow Blasts side by side saves significant moves overall.
Level 800: Establish an Open Zone Before Targeting Fringe Goals
Level 800 separates stage objectives behind dense blocker walls, severely limiting your initial movement.
Dedicate your first five turns to creating an open space of roughly 4x4 tiles in the main chamber. Do not target objectives along the outer edges during this opening phase. Once you have sufficient room to produce four- and five-tile combinations, build Bombs and TNT barrels inside the open space to blast through surrounding walls.
In the final turns, switch from broad area explosives to surgical matches. Use Firecrackers or targeted Rainbow Blasts to eliminate specific remaining targets without wasting turns on already cleared sections of the board.

I tried this today and it worked better than my old setup.
The explanation is clear, especially for beginners.
Can you add more details about early game in a future update?
This saved me time in the early game.
