How to Solve Meowdoku Level 162

Welcome to our walkthrough for Meowdoku Level 162! The goal is to place a cat in every row, column, and colored region so that no two cats are touching, even diagonally. Here’s a step-by-step guide to solving this puzzle.

A good starting point is the left side of the board. Let’s focus on column 1. We know a cat must be placed in this column. Looking at the nearby cats, the one in row 6, column 2 eliminates the possibility of placing a cat in row 5, column 1 or row 7, column 1 due to the diagonal-touch rule. After checking other constraints, the only safe and valid position in this column becomes row 3.

Place the cat in row 3, column 1.

Now, let's examine column 2. With the cat at (3,1) placed, it blocks row 2, column 2 and row 4, column 2 diagonally. The only remaining spot in this column that doesn’t conflict with another cat's row is row 6. This spot is also safe from any adjacent cats.

Place the cat in row 6, column 2.

Next, let's move to the top row. Row 1 needs a cat. Columns 1 and 2 are already occupied. Placing a cat in row 1, column 3 is a safe move. It satisfies the row and column requirement without touching the cats we've already placed at (3,1) and (6,2).

Place the cat in row 1, column 3.

By continuing this process of elimination, the final cat placements become clear. For example, the very last spot to fill is often the easiest. Once nine cats are placed, the final cat for row 10 and column 10 has only one possible location.

Place the cat in row 10, column 10. This spot fulfills the final row and column requirements and doesn't touch the cats in row 8 or 9.
