Meowdoku Level 918 Step-by-Step Logic Walkthrough & Explained
Follow the replay below. Each board shows the result after applying that step.
Meowdoku Level 918 Step 1: Mark X at R1 C9, R2 C9, and R3 C9 + 4 more: a region is locked to this column
The purple region must use column 9. No other region can use that column. Mark the highlighted cells with X.
Meowdoku Level 918 Step 2: Mark X at R4 C5, R4 C6, and R4 C7 + 9 more: rows or columns are reserved
The blue, magenta, brown, sky blue, orange, and purple regions must use rows 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9. No other region can use those rows. Mark the highlighted cells with X.
Meowdoku Level 918 Step 3: Mark X at R7 C5, R7 C6, and R8 C5 + 3 more: rows or columns are reserved
The pink, yellow, blue, magenta, brown, and sky blue regions must use columns 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. No other region can use those columns. Mark the highlighted cells with X.
Meowdoku Level 918 Step 4: Mark X at R3 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 918 Step 5: 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 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 918 Step 6: Mark X at R1 C5: assuming a cat there leaves a region empty
Suppose held a cat in the pink 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 918 Step 7: Mark X at R1 C6: assuming a cat there leaves a region empty
Suppose held a cat in the pink 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 918 Step 8: 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 the sky blue 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 918 Step 9: Mark X at R4 C2: rows or columns are reserved
The pink, yellow, magenta, brown, and sky blue regions must use columns 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. No other region can use those columns. Mark the highlighted cells with X.
Meowdoku Level 918 Step 10: 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 the sky blue 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 918 Step 11: Mark X at R2 C6: assuming a cat there leaves a region empty
Suppose held a cat in the pink 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 918 Step 12: Mark X at R3 C2: assuming a cat there leaves a region empty
Suppose held a cat in the pink region. That assumption would leave Row 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 918 Step 13: Mark X at R3 C3: assuming a cat there leaves a region empty
Suppose held a cat in the pink 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 918 Step 14: Mark X at R3 C4: assuming a cat there leaves a region empty
Suppose held a cat in the pink region. That assumption would leave the sky blue 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 918 Step 15: Mark X at R3 C5: assuming a cat there leaves a region empty
Suppose held a cat in the pink 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 918 Step 16: Mark X at R2 C7: cats cannot touch
Every possible cat for row 3 conflicts with these cells. Cats cannot share a row, column, region, or diagonal touch. Mark the highlighted cells with X.
Meowdoku Level 918 Step 17: Mark X at R3 C6: assuming a cat there leaves a region empty
Suppose held a cat in the pink region. That assumption would leave the magenta region with no legal cell left. So cannot contain a cat. Mark it with X.
