Step 1
Witch Hazel will be very helpful in this level, as they can easily transform tough zombies such as, Pharaoh Zombie and Robo-Cone Zombie in Puff-shrooms. It also prioritize Wizard Zombie, which can prevent plants turning into sheep. But make sure, when they are charging, stall Wizard Zombie or any other zombies with Iceberg Lettuce. Excavator Zombie can be a problem because it will not be damaged by Puff-shrooms and can easily dig them up, Fume-shrooms can be a great alternative to damage him as well as other zombies, make sure there are at least 2-3 of them in reach row. Use Plant Food on Sunflower to gain more sun.

Step 2
This level is very challenging as your only reliable way to defeat zombie is Witch Hazel. Since she can transform Knight Zombie and Turquoise Skull Zombie into Puff-shroom, as well as, Mecha-Football Zombie which is really helpful since these zombies are high in health and can push plants. However, it takes them a while to charge and if the lawn gets crowded with zombies, Witch Hazel make transform a weak zombie into a Puff-shroom rather than a dangerous zombies. You can use Thyme Warp to send zombies back in order for Witch Hazel to recharge. Spikeweed is also helpful as they damage zombies while Witch Hazel is recharging, however Barrel Roller Zombie can easily destroy them and Jetpack Zombie will not be affected by it. The key to winning, is planting as Witch Hazel as much as possible. Use Plant Food on Iceberg Lettuce, since it will freeze zombies and allow Witch Hazel to recharge.

Step 3
The challenging part of this level is the lack of Lily pads, as not given in the conveyor-belt. You will need to rely on the 3 pre-planted Lily-pads to put non-aquatic plants. Keep in mind that the tide will go back eventually, making it somewhat easy. Tangle Kelp can easily remove Buckethead Zombies as well as Fisherman Zombie, which easily remove the dangerous threat of him. Witch Hazel can also instantly turn Seagull Zombie as well as Bug Zombies into puff-shroom, including any zombie it is carrying. Puff-shroom can also be used as bait for Fisherman to be dragged, and then you can get rid of him with Tangle Kelp or Witch Hazel. Gargantuars can easily be disposed using Witch Hazel. Use Plant Food on Lily Pad so that you have a place to plant non-aquatic plants once the tide comes back

Step 4
Right away, Witch Hazel should be prioritized for Knight Zombies, Blockhead Zombies, and Jurassic Fossilheads since Witch Hazel ignore their high health and can easily turn them into Puff-shroom. However, Prospector Zombie is a big issue if not prioritized by Witch Hazel, Split Pea (PvZ2) can counter them. Pianist Zombie can also crush plants, so use Chard Guards to push them back as well as other zombies, Chard Guard can stall zombies while Witch Hazel is charging. Potato Mine can be used for early waves, as well as easily being a instant-kill against high-health zombies. Portals also spawn in latter wave, spawning Shield Zombies, Robo-Cone Zombies, and Mecha-Football Zombies; which can all ruin your defense, Chard Guard is highly recommended to push back these zombies while Witch Hazel can easily transform them into Puff-shrooms, keep in mind, other zombies may block them. Use Plant Food on Sun-shroom to gain more sun
