How to Solve Meowdoku Level 224

This walkthrough explains the step-by-step logic to solve Meowdoku Level 224. We'll start by identifying the most constrained cells and using the process of elimination to find every cat's correct home.

Our first step is to focus on the large purple region in the bottom-left corner of the puzzle. While the region is large, it gives us a powerful starting move.

1. Place the cat in row 7, column 1. This is the only cell in the purple region that is also in column 1 and not blocked by other regions. Placing a cat here satisfies the purple region and clears row 7 and column 1 for our next moves.

2. Place the cat in row 1, column 2. Now look at the small, two-cell dark green region in the top-left corner. It only contains row 1, column 1 and row 1, column 2. Since column 1 is already occupied by our first cat, the only possible spot for this region’s cat is (1, 2).

3. Place the cat in row 3, column 3. Consider the orange region, which covers cells (2,3), (2,4), (3,3), and (3,4). The cat we placed at (1,2) blocks cell (2,3) because they can't touch diagonally. This leaves three options. However, by looking ahead at other regions, we can deduce this is the only logical spot for the cat in row 3.

4. Place the cat in row 5, column 4. With cats in columns 1, 2, and 3, the options for the central light-green region become clearer. Placing the cat at (5,4) satisfies this region without conflicting with any existing cats.

5. Place the cat in row 2, column 5. The brown region needs a cat. Rows 1, 3, 5, and 7 are now occupied. The only row available for this region is row 2. The cat at (3,3) blocks (2,4) diagonally, and the cat at (1,2) blocks it by the no-touch rule. This forces the cat into row 2, column 5.

6. Place the cat in row 8, column 7. Now, most of the board is filled. Row 8 is empty, and the only available column not blocked by another cat or region is column 7.

7. Place the cat in row 4, column 6. Looking at the remaining empty rows, row 4 is open. We can see that columns 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 7 are all occupied. The only logical place for the cat in row 4 is column 6.

8. Place the cat in row 6, column 8. At this point, only one spot remains. Row 6 and column 8 are the only empty row and column left, giving us our final placement.
