Why does the Junk Yard say "No matching scraps"?

\n

Short answer: Nothing fits all your current search words and filters together. Clear the search, choose All, reset the time menu and colours; if it's still missing, it may have cleared on its timer.

\n

It means nothing on the board fits everything you've selected at once — the search words and the kind filter and the time menu and any colour chip. A leftover filter from earlier is the usual culprit.

\n

Clear the search box, pick All, set the time menu back, and tap Clear on the colours. If the scrap still isn't there, it may have cleared on its timer or dropped off a full board — those can't be recovered.
