Meowdoku Level 470 Step-by-Step Logic Walkthrough & Explained
Follow the replay below. Each board shows the result after applying that step.
Meowdoku Level 470 Step 1: Mark X at R2 C1, R3 C1, and R3 C2 + 5 more: rows or columns are reserved
The pink and blue regions must use rows 2 and 3. No other region can use those rows. Mark the highlighted cells with X.
Meowdoku Level 470 Step 2: Mark X at R4 C2, R4 C3, and R5 C3 + 9 more: regions are trapped in those lines
Row 1 can only be filled by the green region. Those region must stay in that row. Mark the highlighted cells with X.
Meowdoku Level 470 Step 3: Mark X at R8 C9, R8 C10, and R9 C6 + 9 more: regions are trapped in those lines
Row 1 can only be filled by the green region. Those region must stay in that row. Mark the highlighted cells with X.
Meowdoku Level 470 Step 4: Mark X at R2 C6: cats cannot touch
Every possible cat for the pink region conflicts with these cells. Cats cannot share a row, column, region, or diagonal touch. Mark the highlighted cells with X.
Meowdoku Level 470 Step 5: Mark X at R3 C7, R4 C6, and R5 C8: cats cannot touch
Every possible cat for the teal region conflicts with these cells. Cats cannot share a row, column, region, or diagonal touch. Mark the highlighted cells with X.
Meowdoku Level 470 Step 6: Mark X at R2 C2, R2 C3, and R2 C4 + 1 more: a region is locked to this row
The pink region must use row 2. No other region can use that row. Mark the highlighted cells with X.
Meowdoku Level 470 Step 7: Mark X at R7 C1 and R9 C2: cats cannot touch
Every possible cat for the yellow region conflicts with these cells. Cats cannot share a row, column, region, or diagonal touch. Mark the highlighted cells with X.
Meowdoku Level 470 Step 8: Mark X at R1 C1: assuming a cat there leaves a region empty
Suppose held a cat in the green region. That assumption would leave the brown region with no legal cell left. So cannot contain a cat. Mark it with X.
