Meowdoku Level 21 Answer Key, Walkthrough & Solution

Meowdoku Level 21 Answer

Solving Level 21 requires careful attention to the single-cell colored regions to get started. Here are the final placements for all eight cats:

• Row 1, column 2
• Row 2, column 4
• Row 3, column 1
• Row 4, column 7
• Row 5, column 5
• Row 6, column 3
• Row 7, column 6
• Row 8, column 8

How to Solve Meowdoku Level 21

Start by identifying the colored regions that consist of only a single square. First, place the cat in row 2, column 4 to solve the isolated dark gold region. Next, place the cat in row 8, column 8 to complete the single-cell bright magenta region in the bottom right corner.

Now, look at the dusky pink region on the left, which only covers row 2, column 1 and row 3, column 1. Because the rules state you can only have one cat per row, and there is already a cat in row 2, place the cat in row 3, column 1.

This move severely restricts the top-left area. Look at the dark green region. The existing cats and the diagonal no-touch rule eliminate almost all of the dark green cells. The only safe square remains at the top. Place the cat in row 1, column 2.

Next, evaluate the purple and light yellow regions. The available purple cells are forced into column 3 (either row 5 or row 6). Because a cat must occupy column 3 for the purple region, the light yellow region cannot use its available square in column 3. Therefore, place the cat in row 5, column 5 to solve the light yellow region.

With row 5 now occupied by the light yellow cat, return to the purple region. Place the cat in row 6, column 3.

You are left needing cats for rows 4 and 7, and columns 6 and 7. Look at the brown region in row 4. Row 4, column 6 is diagonally touching the cat at row 5, column 5, so it cannot be used. Place the cat in row 4, column 7.

Finally, only one valid spot remains for the light green region that doesn't share a row, column, or diagonally touch another cat. Place the cat in row 7, column 6 to complete the puzzle.
