Meowdoku Level 809 Step-by-Step Logic Walkthrough & Explained
Follow the replay below. Each board shows the result after applying that step.
Meowdoku Level 809 Step 1: Mark X at R2 C5, R3 C5, and R4 C5 + 3 more: rows or columns are reserved
The purple, magenta, rose, and sky blue regions must use columns 5, 6, 7, and 8. No other region can use those columns. Mark the highlighted cells with X.
Meowdoku Level 809 Step 2: Mark X at R5 C7: 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 809 Step 3: Mark X at R5 C4: 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 809 Step 4: Mark X at R3 C3 and R5 C3: cats cannot touch
Every possible cat for column 4 conflicts with these cells. Cats cannot share a row, column, region, or diagonal touch. Mark the highlighted cells with X.
Meowdoku Level 809 Step 5: Mark X at R1 C6: assuming a cat there leaves a region empty
Suppose held a cat in the purple region. That assumption would leave Column 5 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 809 Step 6: Mark X at R1 C7: assuming a cat there leaves a region empty
Suppose held a cat in the purple region. That assumption would leave the rose 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 809 Step 7: Mark X at R1 C8: assuming a cat there leaves a region empty
Suppose held a cat in the purple region. That assumption would leave the rose 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 809 Step 8: Mark X at R2 C6: assuming a cat there leaves a region empty
Suppose held a cat in the purple region. That assumption would leave Column 5 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 809 Step 9: Mark X at R2 C7: assuming a cat there leaves a region empty
Suppose held a cat in the purple region. That assumption would leave the rose 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 809 Step 10: Mark X at R2 C8: assuming a cat there leaves a region empty
Suppose held a cat in the purple region. That assumption would leave the rose 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 809 Step 11: Mark X at R3 C6: assuming a cat there leaves a region empty
Suppose held a cat in the purple 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 809 Step 12: Mark X at R3 C7: assuming a cat there leaves a region empty
Suppose held a cat in the purple region. That assumption would leave the rose 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 809 Step 13: Mark X at R3 C8: assuming a cat there leaves a region empty
Suppose held a cat in the purple region. That assumption would leave the rose 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 809 Step 14: Place cat at R1 C5: only legal cell
Place a cat here at . The purple region has no other legal cell.
Meowdoku Level 809 Step 15: Mark X at R6 C1, R7 C1, and R8 C1: a region is locked to this column
The pink region must use column 1. No other region can use that column. Mark the highlighted cells with X.
Meowdoku Level 809 Step 16: Mark X at R5 C2 and R7 C3: 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 809 Step 17: Mark X at R3 C2: 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 809 Step 18: Mark X at R3 C4: assuming a cat there leaves a region empty
Suppose held a cat in the yellow 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 809 Step 19: Place cat at R3 C1: only legal cell
