Meowdoku Level 563 Step-by-Step Logic Walkthrough & Explained
Follow the replay below. Each board shows the result after applying that step.
Meowdoku Level 563 Step 1: Mark X at R1 C4, R3 C4, and R4 C4 + 3 more: rows or columns are reserved
The orange, magenta, teal, and yellow regions must use columns 4, 5, 6, and 7. No other region can use those columns. Mark the highlighted cells with X.
Meowdoku Level 563 Step 2: Mark X at R2 C6: cats cannot touch
Every possible cat for the orange region conflicts with these cells. Cats cannot share a row, column, region, or diagonal touch. Mark the highlighted cells with X.
Meowdoku Level 563 Step 3: Mark X at R1 C7, R5 C7, and R6 C7 + 1 more: a region is locked to this column
The magenta region must use column 7. No other region can use that column. Mark the highlighted cells with X.
Meowdoku Level 563 Step 4: Mark X at R2 C2 and R4 C3: cats cannot touch
Every possible cat for the brown region conflicts with these cells. Cats cannot share a row, column, region, or diagonal touch. Mark the highlighted cells with X.
Meowdoku Level 563 Step 5: Mark X at R3 C6: cats cannot touch
Every possible cat for the magenta region conflicts with these cells. Cats cannot share a row, column, region, or diagonal touch. Mark the highlighted cells with X.
Meowdoku Level 563 Step 6: Mark X at R6 C2: 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 563 Step 7: Mark X at R1 C2: assuming a cat there leaves a region empty
Suppose held a cat in the blue region. That assumption would leave the teal region with no legal cell left. So cannot contain a cat. Mark it with X.
Try a temporary cat at , then follow what the puzzle rules force. If it leads to a contradiction, the must be X in the real puzzle.
Meowdoku Level 563 Step 8: Mark X at R6 C1: cats cannot touch
Every possible cat for the blue region conflicts with these cells. Cats cannot share a row, column, region, or diagonal touch. Mark the highlighted cells with X.
Meowdoku Level 563 Step 9: Mark X at R2 C1: assuming a cat there leaves a region empty
Suppose held a cat in the blue region. That assumption would leave Column 4 with no legal cell left. So cannot contain a cat. Mark it with X.
Try a temporary cat at , then follow what the puzzle rules force. If it leads to a contradiction, the must be X in the real puzzle.
Meowdoku Level 563 Step 10: Mark X at R3 C1: assuming a cat there leaves a region empty
Suppose held a cat in the blue region. That assumption would leave the brown region with no legal cell left. So cannot contain a cat. Mark it with X.
Try a temporary cat at , then follow what the puzzle rules force. If it leads to a contradiction, the must be X in the real puzzle.
Meowdoku Level 563 Step 11: Mark X at R4 C1: assuming a cat there leaves a region empty
Suppose held a cat in the blue region. That assumption would leave the brown region with no legal cell left. So cannot contain a cat. Mark it with X.
Try a temporary cat at , then follow what the puzzle rules force. If it leads to a contradiction, the must be X in the real puzzle.
Meowdoku Level 563 Step 12: Mark X at R5 C1: assuming a cat there leaves a region empty
Suppose held a cat in the blue region. That assumption would leave the brown region with no legal cell left. So cannot contain a cat. Mark it with X.
Try a temporary cat at , then follow what the puzzle rules force. If it leads to a contradiction, the must be X in the real puzzle.
Meowdoku Level 563 Step 13: Mark X at R5 C2: assuming a cat there leaves a region empty
Suppose held a cat in the blue region. That assumption would leave the brown region with no legal cell left. So cannot contain a cat. Mark it with X.
Try a temporary cat at , then follow what the puzzle rules force. If it leads to a contradiction, the must be X in the real puzzle.
Meowdoku Level 563 Step 14: Place cat at R1 C1: only legal cell
Place a cat here at . The blue region has no other legal cell.
Meowdoku Level 563 Step 15: Mark X at R2 C7 and R3 C7: rows or columns are reserved
The orange and brown regions must use rows 2 and 3. No other region can use those rows. Mark the highlighted cells with X.
Meowdoku Level 563 Step 16: Place cat at R4 C7: only legal cell
Place a cat here at . The magenta region has no other legal cell.
Meowdoku Level 563 Step 17: Place cat at R6 C6: only legal cell
