the drilburs are there because you "attack" the things on the top screen by matching up stuff, and the type of the attack is determined by what your first match is. So obviously you want to attack them all with a ground type.
The reason why this level is difficult because when you're making combos (matching up 3's in a chain), you've got about 1.5 seconds to find a match and move it to the right place. Trying to identify a match when they all look so damn similar while under pressure and in that short of time is what makes this level pretty difficult
