How to Solve Meowdoku Level 159

This walkthrough explains the logical steps to solve Meowdoku Level 159. The puzzle starts with five cats already on the board, and our goal is to place the remaining four. Remember, there can only be one cat per row, column, and colored region, and no two cats can touch, even diagonally.

The puzzle begins with cats in these positions:

• Row 1, column 6
• Row 3, column 2
• Row 4, column 5
• Row 8, column 1
• Row 9, column 3

We need to find homes for cats in rows 2, 5, 6, and 7 and columns 4, 7, 8, and 9.

Let's begin by focusing on the right side of the board.

The pink region in the middle-right needs a cat. Since rows 3 and 4 already have cats, the only available row for this region is row 5. The only empty column in this area is column 9, making this a definite placement.

• Place the cat in row 5, column 9.

Now, let's look at the green region in the top-right corner. It also needs a cat. Rows 1 and 3 have cats, so this region's cat must be in row 2. The placement of the cat at R5,C9 has now filled column 9. This means the green region's cat cannot go in cell R2,C9. The only remaining spot in this region for row 2 is R2,C8.

• Place the cat in row 2, column 8.

Next, we can solve for the brown region on the middle-left. This region needs a cat. Rows 4 and 5 are already occupied. This leaves row 6 as the only option for this region's cat. The only empty column available in this row is column 4.

• Place the cat in row 6, column 4.

Finally, only one cat remains to be placed. Row 7 and column 7 are the only empty row and column left on the entire board. This placement also satisfies the last empty region.

• Place the cat in row 7, column 7.

With that, all cats are placed, and the puzzle is solved
