Meowdoku Tips: 6 Techniques to Solve Hard Levels Without Guessing

Every Meowdoku level can be solved with a handful of patterns. Learn them in this order: the first ones solve easy levels, and the last two crack the levels where it feels like you have to guess. In every picture, white outlines show what to look at and green marks show what you can conclude.

1. Start With the Smallest Colors

A color with one cell is a free cat. A color with two or three cells in a row is almost as good, because its cat can only be in a few places. Look for those first.

2. Cross Out Around Every Cat

Right after you place a cat, mark ✕ on its row, its column, the rest of its color and the 8 cells touching it. A swipe does most of it. Skipping this is the most common reason players miss the next step.

3. A Color Stuck in One Row or Column

If every open cell of a color is in the same row (or column), that color's cat will be in that row. Then no other color can use that row, so cross out the rest of it.

This also works the other way: if every open cell of a row is in one color, the rest of that color is ruled out.

4. The Last Open Cell

After a few rounds of crossing out, scan every color, row and column. Any of them with only one open cell left must have its cat there. After each new cat, scan again.

5. The "What If" Test

Pick an open cell next to a small color and ask: if a cat went here, what would it rule out? If that cat would cross out every open cell of some color (or row or column), that color could never get its cat. So the cell can't hold a cat. Mark it ✕.

Cells touching a small color from the side or the corner are the best ones to test.

6. Two Colors Sharing Two Rows

This is the step most players miss after level 20. Find two colors whose open cells all sit in the same two rows. Their two cats will fill those two rows, so no other color can have a cat there. Cross out everything else in those two rows.

It works with columns, and with three colors in three rows. It works the other way too: if two rows only have open cells in two colors, the other cells of those colors are out.

Quick check that helps here: any 2×2 square can hold at most one cat, because all four cells touch each other.

Finding the First Cat After Level 20

Players report that early levels start with one cat already placed, and that this stops around level 20. With an empty grid, use the techniques in this order:

1. Place any one-cell color (tip 1).
2. Look for a color that sits entirely in one row or column (tip 3).
3. Look along the edges for two colors packed into the same two rows or columns (tip 6).
4. Run the what-if test on cells touching the smallest color (tip 5).
5. Still stuck? Paint the level into the solver and press Next hint. It shows the one step you need and why it works.

Habits That Save Hearts

• Mark ✕ with single taps and swipes. Double-tap only when the logic says the cat must go there.
• Fix your mistakes before moving on: one wrong ✕ can make the rest of the level look impossible.
• Work color by color, smallest first, and rescan after every new cat.
• If the in-game hint only shows something obvious, our solver explains the actual next step.
