How to Solve Meowdoku Level 256

Stuck on Meowdoku Level 256? This step-by-step walkthrough will guide you through the logic needed to place every cat correctly and solve the puzzle. The key is to use the process of elimination based on rows, columns, colored regions, and the no-touch rule.

Starting the Puzzle

A great place to begin is with the yellow region in the bottom right. Notice that this region only has one cell in column 9: the square at row 5, column 9. Since every column must contain exactly one cat, this is the only possible spot for the yellow region's cat.

• Place the cat in row 5, column 9.

Building on the First Placement

Now that our first cat is placed, we can use it to find the next one. The cat in row 5 blocks any other cats in that row, column, or the surrounding diagonal cells.

Let's look at the four-cell dark green region. The cat at (5,9) doesn't restrict it. However, let's examine the purple region at the bottom. The cat at (5,9) blocks row 4, column 8 diagonally, but that doesn't affect row 9. Let's shift our focus to the top left. The teal region in the top-left corner must have a cat. After looking at other constraints, the only logical spot is in row 4, column 1.

• Place the cat in row 4, column 1.

With two cats placed, let's solve the small dark green region. Placing the cat at (4,1) blocks row 3 diagonally. The most logical spot for the green region becomes clear.

• Place the cat in row 3, column 5.

Completing the Grid

From here, we can follow the logic to fill the remaining spots:

1. The light green region now has a clear spot. Place the cat in row 7, column 2.
2. For the brown region, the only remaining valid cell is now available. Place the cat in row 6, column 4.
3. Looking at the top rows, the pink region's only choice is now clear. Place the cat in row 1, column 7.
4. This placement resolves the teal region in the center. Place the cat in row 2, column 3.
5. With most columns filled, the cat for the bottom-center teal region is forced. Place the cat in row 8, column 6.
6. Finally, only one spot remains for the purple region. Place the cat in row 9, column 8.

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