Meowdoku Level 877 Step-by-Step Logic Walkthrough & Explained
Follow the replay below. Each board shows the result after applying that step.
Meowdoku Level 877 Step 1: Mark X at R2 C1, R2 C2, and R2 C3 + 2 more: a region is locked to this row
The brown region must use row 2. No other region can use that row. Mark the highlighted cells with X.
Meowdoku Level 877 Step 2: Mark X at R6 C2, R7 C1, and R7 C2 + 2 more: rows or columns are reserved
The magenta and rose regions must use columns 1 and 2. No other region can use those columns. Mark the highlighted cells with X.
Meowdoku Level 877 Step 3: Mark X at R1 C6 and R3 C6: 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 877 Step 4: Mark X at R2 C5 and R4 C4: 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 877 Step 5: Mark X at R1 C7 and R3 C7: 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 877 Step 6: Mark X at R4 C1: cats cannot touch
Every possible cat for the rose region conflicts with these cells. Cats cannot share a row, column, region, or diagonal touch. Mark the highlighted cells with X.
Meowdoku Level 877 Step 7: Mark X at R7 C4: 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 877 Step 8: Mark X at R1 C3: assuming a cat there leaves a region empty
Suppose held a cat in the teal region. That assumption would leave the purple 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 877 Step 9: Mark X at R3 C3: assuming a cat there leaves a region empty
Suppose held a cat in the teal region. That assumption would leave the magenta 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 877 Step 10: Mark X at R4 C3: assuming a cat there leaves a region empty
Suppose held a cat in the teal region. That assumption would leave the purple 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 877 Step 11: Mark X at R5 C3: assuming a cat there leaves a region empty
Suppose held a cat in the teal 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 877 Step 12: Mark X at R7 C5, R8 C4, and R8 C5: rows or columns are reserved
The teal, brown, purple, pink, and green regions must use columns 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8. No other region can use those columns. Mark the highlighted cells with X.
Meowdoku Level 877 Step 13: Mark X at R5 C4: assuming a cat there leaves a region empty
Suppose held a cat in the teal region. That assumption would leave the pink 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 877 Step 14: Mark X at R6 C4: assuming a cat there leaves a region empty
Suppose held a cat in the teal 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 877 Step 15: Mark X at R6 C5: assuming a cat there leaves a region empty
Suppose held a cat in the teal 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 877 Step 16: Mark X at R6 C6: assuming a cat there leaves a region empty
Suppose held a cat in the teal 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 877 Step 17: Mark X at R6 C7: assuming a cat there leaves a region empty
Suppose held a cat in the teal region. That assumption would leave the purple 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 877 Step 18: Mark X at R7 C7: assuming a cat there leaves a region empty
