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

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.

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.
