What you are playing
Meowdoku is a region-based logic puzzle. Place exactly one cat in every row, every column, and every colored region, and never let two cats touch — not even at a corner. That is the whole game, and the reason it is hard is that those three constraints overlap: one placement answers all of them at once, which means the board is always telling you more than it appears to.
If the rules are new to you, the board above is a forgiving place to meet them. Nothing you do is destructive, undo is free, and no move is ever a guess you have to live with.
These boards are ours, not the app’s levels
Worth saying plainly, because it is the first thing you will want to know: this page does not serve the levels from Oakever Games’ Meowdoku app. It generates original boards of the same puzzle type, on your device, right now. They obey the same four rules and are verified to have exactly one solution before they reach you.
So if you came here to practise the puzzle, this is the real thing and it is unlimited. If you came looking for the answer to a specific numbered level from the app, this board will not be it — bring a screenshot to the solver instead, and it will read your actual board and work that one out with you.
What the board does for you
- Hints that explain themselves. A hint never flips a random cell. It finds the next move that is logically forced from your current position and names the rule that forces it, so a hint teaches you a pattern instead of spending one.
- The full reasoning, free. Ask for the complete walkthrough and the board replays the entire solution one deduction at a time, in order, with the rule behind each step. Not a final answer — the argument for it.
- Mistakes caught as you make them. Place a cat that breaks a row, a column, a region, or the no-touch rule and the board says so immediately, and shows you which cat it collides with.
- Marks kept for you. Every placement sweeps its own row, column, region, and neighbours automatically, so the eliminations you already know are on the board without you re-tracing them by hand.
Pick your own difficulty
Boards run from 5×5 up to 12×12, across four difficulties. Size and difficulty are not the same axis: a tightly shaped 7×7 will beat a loose 10×10 more often than not, because what makes a board hard is how long the chain of forced moves is, not how many cells it has.
Generation happens in your browser, so a new board costs nothing and takes no round trip. If you find one you like, copy its link — the whole puzzle travels inside the URL, and whoever opens it gets the identical board.
Nothing here leaves your device
There is no account to make and no puzzle sent anywhere. Boards are generated locally, your progress lives in this browser, and if you use the screenshot solver, the image is read in local memory and never uploaded. Clearing this site’s data erases everything the service knows about you, because that is all of it.
Learn the techniques properly
The board will teach you by example, but the reasoning is worth reading once. The two-minute guide covers your first placements and a checklist for when a board looks dead; the rules page covers validity and why every good board has exactly one solution; the tips page covers the techniques that carry expert boards — region locking, candidate pairs, counting, and bounded contradiction.
