Meowdoku Level 10 Guide: Butter and Soda Columns Unlock the Matcha Cat
Meowdoku Level 10 is a friendly 7x7 board where two colors pinned to single columns open up the rest of the grid. Here is how each cat falls into place.
Meowdoku Level 10 is a 7x7 puzzle with seven colored regions, which means seven cats to settle. As always in Meowdoku, each row, column, and color takes one cat, and cats can never sit next to each other in any direction. You can play it for free in any modern browser.
The game rates this level as easy, and it is a relaxed break after bigger boards. Still, there is one small twist in the middle where you need to look at whole columns instead of single regions. If you like cozy cat games and gentle logic puzzle games, this walkthrough will help you see that twist and finish the board without spending a fish.
Meowdoku Level 10 at a glance
- Board: 7×7 grid with 7 colored regions and 7 cats to place
- Difficulty: Easy
- Hardest technique needed: Color locked to one line
- Logical steps: 11 (7 cats and 4 crosses)
- Smallest color: rose with 1 tile
How the Level 10 grid is arranged
The seven colors are rose, apricot, butter, matcha, mint, soda, and periwinkle. Rose is the smallest at one tile, apricot and soda have three tiles each, butter has six, mint has eight, periwinkle has thirteen, and matcha is the largest with fifteen tiles spread across the upper left of the board.
A few shapes stand out. Soda is a short vertical bar in column 1 from row 4 to row 6, butter hugs the top right corner, mint snakes down the right side, and periwinkle fills the whole bottom row. Seeing those shapes early is a big help in brain games like this, because long thin regions often end up locked to one line.
Opening Meowdoku Level 10 with the rose tile
Start at row 1, column 2. The rose region is just that tile, so its cat is forced before you do anything else. In this cat puzzle game, a one-tile color is always a free placement, so it is worth spotting it the moment a level loads.
Once rose is settled and you cross its row, column, and neighbors, apricot shrinks to one open tile at row 2, column 4. Place that second cat and cross around it too. At this point no remaining color is down to a single tile, which is your signal to look for something new.
The key moment: two colors that own their columns
After the first two cats, every open butter tile is in column 7. Since butter needs a cat and all of its options are in that column, column 7 has to use its cat on butter. That lets you cross out the mint tiles at row 5 and row 6 of column 7, plus the periwinkle tile at row 7, column 7.
Soda works the same way on the left edge. All of its open tiles are in column 1, so the matcha tile at row 3, column 1 can be crossed. With that last matcha option gone, the huge matcha region is suddenly down to one open tile at row 4, column 3, and your third cat lands there.
Everything after that is a clean chain. Butter settles on row 3, column 7, mint on row 5, column 6, soda on row 6, column 1, and periwinkle finishes on row 7, column 5. Each cat leaves the next color with a single open tile, which is the calm rhythm that makes animal games like this so pleasant.
Habits to take from Level 10
Level 10 is short, but it teaches a skill you will use often in Meowdoku and in other logic puzzle games: reading a color by the lines it lives in, not just by how many tiles it has.
Whenever a region is a narrow bar or corner piece, check its rows and columns after each cat. If all of its open tiles line up, cross every other tile in that line. A large region like matcha can look safe for a long time and then collapse the moment one of those crosses removes its last spare tile.

Step-by-step Meowdoku Level 10 solution
Every cat below is forced by logic, in the order a careful solver finds them. No guessing is needed. If you only want a nudge, read one step, close this page, and return to the game.
Cat 1: row 1, column 2 (rose)
The rose region has only one open tile left, so its cat goes on row 1, column 2. Technique: Last open tile in a color.
Cat 2: row 2, column 4 (apricot)
With the rows, columns, and neighbors of the first cat crossed out, the apricot region has only one open tile left, so its cat goes on row 2, column 4. Technique: Last open tile in a color.
Cat 3: row 4, column 3 (matcha)
First, cross out the tiles that cannot hold a cat:
- Every open butter tile sits in column 7, so that column's cat must be butter. Cross out the mint tile at row 5, column 7.
- Every open butter tile sits in column 7, so that column's cat must be butter. Cross out the mint tile at row 6, column 7.
- Every open butter tile sits in column 7, so that column's cat must be butter. Cross out the periwinkle tile at row 7, column 7.
- Every open soda tile sits in column 1, so that column's cat must be soda. Cross out the matcha tile at row 3, column 1.
With the rows, columns, and neighbors of the 2 cats placed so far crossed out, the matcha region has only one open tile left, so its cat goes on row 4, column 3. Technique: Last open tile in a color.
Cat 4: row 3, column 7 (butter)
With the rows, columns, and neighbors of the 3 cats placed so far crossed out, the butter region has only one open tile left, so its cat goes on row 3, column 7. Technique: Last open tile in a color.
Cat 5: row 5, column 6 (mint)
With the rows, columns, and neighbors of the 4 cats placed so far crossed out, the mint region has only one open tile left, so its cat goes on row 5, column 6. Technique: Last open tile in a color.
Cat 6: row 6, column 1 (soda)
With the rows, columns, and neighbors of the 5 cats placed so far crossed out, the soda region has only one open tile left, so its cat goes on row 6, column 1. Technique: Last open tile in a color.
Cat 7: row 7, column 5 (periwinkle)
With the rows, columns, and neighbors of the 6 cats placed so far crossed out, the periwinkle region has only one open tile left, so its cat goes on row 7, column 5. Technique: Last open tile in a color.

What is the first move in Meowdoku Level 10?
Place a cat on row 1, column 2. The rose region is only one tile, so that tile is forced from the start.
