Meowdoku Level 807 Step-by-Step Logic Walkthrough & Explained
Follow the replay below. Each board shows the result after applying that step.
Meowdoku Level 807 Step 1: Mark X at R1 C7, R1 C8, and R2 C7 + 4 more: rows or columns are reserved
The sky blue and rose regions must use columns 7 and 8. No other region can use those columns. Mark the highlighted cells with X.
Meowdoku Level 807 Step 2: Mark X at R1 C1: assuming a cat there leaves a region empty
Suppose held a cat in the pink region. That assumption would leave the yellow 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 807 Step 3: Mark X at R1 C2: assuming a cat there leaves a region empty
Suppose held a cat in the pink region. That assumption would leave the yellow 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 807 Step 4: Mark X at R1 C3: assuming a cat there leaves a region empty
Suppose held a cat in the pink region. That assumption would leave the yellow 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 807 Step 5: Mark X at R2 C5: cats cannot touch
Every possible cat for row 1 conflicts with these cells. Cats cannot share a row, column, region, or diagonal touch. Mark the highlighted cells with X.
Meowdoku Level 807 Step 6: Mark X at R6 C4, R7 C4, and R7 C5 + 2 more: cats cannot touch
Every possible cat for column 3 conflicts with these cells. Cats cannot share a row, column, region, or diagonal touch. Mark the highlighted cells with X.
Meowdoku Level 807 Step 7: Mark X at R2 C1: assuming a cat there leaves a region empty
Suppose held a cat in the pink region. That assumption would leave Row 3 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 807 Step 8: Mark X at R2 C2: assuming a cat there leaves a region empty
Suppose held a cat in the pink region. That assumption would leave Row 3 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 807 Step 9: Mark X at R2 C4: assuming a cat there leaves a region empty
Suppose held a cat in the pink region. That assumption would leave Row 3 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 807 Step 10: Mark X at R8 C6: cats cannot touch
Every possible cat for row 2 conflicts with these cells. Cats cannot share a row, column, region, or diagonal touch. Mark the highlighted cells with X.
Meowdoku Level 807 Step 11: Mark X at R3 C1: assuming a cat there leaves a region empty
Suppose held a cat in the pink 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 807 Step 12: Mark X at R2 C3: 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 807 Step 13: Place cat at R2 C6: only legal cell
Place a cat here at . Row 2 has no other legal cell.
Meowdoku Level 807 Step 14: Place cat at R1 C4: only legal cell
Place a cat here at . Row 1 has no other legal cell.
Meowdoku Level 807 Step 15: Place cat at R4 C5: only legal cell
Place a cat here at . The yellow region has no other legal cell.
Meowdoku Level 807 Step 16: Place cat at R3 C3: only legal cell
Place a cat here at . Row 3 has no other legal cell.
Meowdoku Level 807 Step 17: Mark X at R5 C1 and R5 C2: a region is locked to this row
The sky blue region must use row 5. No other region can use that row. Mark the highlighted cells with X.
Meowdoku Level 807 Step 18: Place cat at R6 C1: only legal cell
Place a cat here at . The brown region has no other legal cell.
Meowdoku Level 807 Step 19: Place cat at R8 C2: only legal cell
Place a cat here at . The orange region has no other legal cell.
Meowdoku Level 807 Step 20: Place cat at R7 C8: only legal cell
Place a cat here at . The rose region has no other legal cell.
Meowdoku Level 807 Step 21: Place cat at R5 C7: only legal cell
Place a cat here at . The sky blue region has no other legal cell.
