Royal Match: How to Beat Level 9823

To beat Level 9823 in Royal Match, focus your opening moves on the bottom rows to clear choke points and create space for tile cascades. Level 9823 restricts incoming pieces behind durable, multi-layer obstacles, making move efficiency critical. Combining special tiles—particularly pairing a Light Ball with a Rocket or TNT—is necessary to wipe out isolated perimeter blockers and fulfill all stage requirements before moves expire.

Clear Choke Points with Lower-Board Matches

The initial layout of Level 9823 confines matches to narrow corridors, limiting natural combinations. Directing your opening moves toward the bottom of the board yields two immediate advantages:

Triggering Chain Reactions: Matching pieces near the top only shifts a few tiles. Matching along the base forces full vertical columns to drop, dramatically increasing the likelihood of automatic secondary matches.
Opening Inflow Channels: Chipping away at bottom-layer blockers opens paths for falling pieces, allowing regular tile flow into previously blocked lanes.

Avoid making basic three-tile matches near the top of the board unless they directly hit an obstacle or complete a four- to five-tile power-up setup.

Combine High-Impact Special Tiles

Single boosters rarely offer enough clearing power to dismantle multi-layered blockers within the turn limit. Holding and combining special tiles clears wide swaths of the board across partitioned sections:

Light Ball + Rocket: Transforms every tile matching the rocket's partner color into a directional Rocket. This clears horizontal rows and vertical columns across the entire grid, bypassing dividing walls.
Light Ball + TNT: Triggers a dual screen-wide blast that strips multiple layers off high-durability obstacles across the center and base.
TNT + Rocket: Creates an expanded three-row and three-column cross detonation, ideal for breaking open dense clusters.
Propeller + TNT or Rocket: Flies an explosive payload directly to a distant, active objective that cannot be reached through standard matches.

Do not detonate a solo Light Ball simply to reduce a single color unless doing so immediately aligns two adjacent power-ups.

Target Corner and Perimeter Obstacles

Obstacles resting along the perimeter and in corners have fewer adjacent grid spaces, making direct matches rare. Leaving these targets for the final turns frequently results in failure when moves run low.

Obstacle Position	Strategic Threat	Recommended Clearing Method
Center and Bottom	Restricts tile flow and limits overall matching space	Low-board cascades and TNT detonations
Outer Columns	Difficult to match directly due to grid boundary walls	Vertical Rockets and Light Ball combos
Corner Tiles	Lowest natural match probability on the board	Targeted Propellers or Propeller + TNT combos

Clear outer obstacles whenever a direct match presents itself naturally. If no adjacent matches exist, generate Propellers in open center areas to deliver targeted damage to the edges.

Conserve Moves and Deploy Starting Boosters

Preserving moves requires scanning the board before committing to an action. Check whether shifting a column will accidentally destroy a potential Light Ball or TNT setup elsewhere on the grid.

If Level 9823 exhausts your move count across repeated attempts, equip pre-game boosters before entering the stage. A starting Light Ball and TNT combination resolves the initial choke point on turn one:

Enter the level with pre-game boosters selected.
Swap the adjacent Light Ball and TNT on your very first action.
Allow the resulting screen-wide blast to clear the lower board and flood the bottom rows with new tiles.
