Royal Match: How to Beat Hard Level 9822

To beat Hard Level 9822 in Royal Match, spend your first five to seven moves attacking the central obstacles rather than chasing corner targets. Opening the middle section lets tiles fall into the lower grid, establishing the cascades and board width you need to build special combos.

Clearing Priorities by Stage Phase

Because the starting board restricts tile drop chutes, matching pieces along the outer perimeter wastes turns without improving tile circulation. Clear the grid from the inside out to maximize your move count.

Building and Pairing Power-Ups

Single power-ups and basic three-tile matches do not clear enough layers to finish Level 9822 within the move limit. Once the middle columns are open, focus on manufacturing power-ups in adjacent tiles to trigger high-impact clears.

• TNT + Rocket: Swapping these two items triggers a cross-shaped blast three rows wide and three columns tall. Detonating this in the center or lower-middle rows removes wide swaths of reinforced barriers in a single move.
• Light Ball + Rocket: Combining a Light Ball with a Rocket transforms every tile matching that color into an activated Rocket. This is the most efficient way to pierce shielded corners and isolated side lanes that manual matches cannot reach.
• Propeller Synergies: Standalone Propellers automatically target active objectives, making them valuable for stray targets. Pairing a Propeller with TNT or a Rocket delivers that explosive blast directly to an isolated corner piece.

Managing the Lower Board and Cleanup

Once tile flow reaches the bottom of the grid, focus your manual matches along the lowest accessible rows. Clearing pieces at the bottom causes the entire column above to drop, triggering passive cascades that can create free power-ups.

Avoid making side matches unless they directly hit an obstacle or lower two power-ups into alignment. If you enter the final five turns with two or three awkward obstacles isolated behind dead zones, use targeted tools like the Royal Hammer to break the final blockers or align an existing combo rather than risking failed cascades.
