If you recently started playing Gardenscapes and feel like you are losing lives, coins, or boosters for no clear reason, you are not alone. Most beginners make the same mistakes. In this guide, you will learn the most common beginner mistakes and how to avoid them.
Mistake #1: Playing without checking the level objective
Many beginners start matching tiles without looking at the level goal. Every level has a specific objective and a limited number of moves. If you ignore the objective, you will quickly run out of moves.
Mistake #2: Making moves only where it feels easy
Moves at the top of the board usually have little impact. Playing from the bottom creates chain reactions that open space and clear the board more effectively.
Mistake #3: Wasting boosters on easy levels
Boosters are valuable resources. Using them on easy or early levels means you will not have them when you truly need them. Save boosters for levels that stop your progress.
Mistake #4: Spending coins out of frustration
Continuing a level with coins just because you were close is one of the most expensive mistakes. Coins should be spent strategically and only when the situation truly deserves it.
Mistake #5: Playing too many levels in a row
After several failed attempts, concentration drops. Playing while tired or frustrated leads to more mistakes and unnecessary life losses.
Mistake #6: Ignoring events
Events are not just extra content. They provide boosters, coins, and unlimited lives. Beginners who ignore events progress much more slowly.
Mistake #7: Not joining a team
Teams give you extra lives and access to team events. Playing without a team means missing important advantages, especially at the beginning.
Mistake #8: Thinking everything depends on luck
Gardenscapes is not only about luck. Every level has a solution. Careful observation and planning reduce the role of randomness.
How to avoid these mistakes starting today
- Always read the level objective before playing.
- Start your moves from the bottom of the board.
- Save boosters and coins for difficult situations.
- Play calmly and with a plan.
- Participate in events and join a team.
Conclusion
Most progress blocks in Gardenscapes are caused by strategy mistakes, not difficulty. By avoiding these beginner errors, you will progress faster, lose fewer resources, and enjoy the game more. This article perfectly complements the beginner guide and prepares you for more advanced strategies.
