Meowdoku Level 107 Walkthrough: Two Columns Decide the Whole Board
Meowdoku Level 107 is a medium 8x8 board where all eleven crosses happen before the second cat, as apricot takes column 5 and matcha takes column 4.
Meowdoku Level 107 is a medium 8x8 board with eight colors, and it has one of the most lopsided difficulty curves in the game. All eleven crosses in the level happen in a single stretch before the second cat, and once that stretch is finished, the last seven cats appear one after another with no further reasoning at all. Meowdoku is a free cat puzzle game that plays in your browser, so this is an easy board to open for a focused ten minutes.
The clue that unlocks everything is a tiny matcha region of just two tiles, stacked vertically in column 4. Pair that with an apricot region that has been squeezed into column 5, and you have two adjacent columns that belong to two specific colors. This guide covers the layout, the forced first move, the eleven-cross deduction that finds the matcha cat, and the lessons that transfer to other logic puzzle games.
Meowdoku Level 107 at a glance
- Board: 8×8 grid with 8 colored regions and 8 cats to place
- Difficulty: Medium
- Hardest technique needed: Tile touching a whole color
- Logical steps: 19 (8 cats and 11 crosses)
- Smallest color: rose with 1 tile
The Meowdoku Level 107 board
The eight colors are rose, apricot, butter, matcha, mint, soda, periwinkle, and lilac. Rose is the smallest region on the board, a single tile at row 1, column 3, sitting in the middle of the top edge. Matcha is the second smallest with exactly two tiles, at row 3, column 4 and row 4, column 4, and that vertical pair is the most valuable shape on the grid.
Butter and periwinkle each have eight tiles, apricot and mint each have ten, soda has eleven down the right side, and lilac is the largest with fourteen tiles spread across the bottom. Apricot fills most of the top left, mint sits just below it, periwinkle takes the lower left corner, and lilac runs the full width of row 8 from column 2 to column 8. In this cat puzzle game the two-tile matcha column is the pivot the whole board turns on.
The opening: rose sits alone in row 1
Place your first cat on row 1, column 3. The rose region contains only that tile, so the rose cat is forced there before you have made a single deduction. Double-tap it and you are underway.
This opening is unusually productive. Sitting in the middle of the top row, the rose cat clears all of row 1 and all of column 3, and it also removes the tiles that touch it at row 2, columns 2 and 4. Apricot loses eight of its ten tiles in one go and is reduced to just row 2, column 5 and row 3, column 5. Recognising that drop is what makes the rest of Meowdoku Level 107 possible, which is a good reminder to always take stock after a free move in these cat games.
The key moment: eleven crosses in columns 4 and 5
This is the hardest part of Meowdoku Level 107, and it is one continuous chain. Both remaining apricot tiles sit in column 5, so the cat in column 5 has to be the apricot cat. That is technique T3, a color locked to one line, and it lets you cross out the butter tile at row 4, column 5, the soda tile at row 5, column 5, and the lilac tiles at row 6, column 5, row 7, column 5, and row 8, column 5.
Matcha gives you the same gift in the column next door. Both of its tiles are in column 4, so column 4 belongs to matcha, and you can cross out the lilac tiles at row 5, column 4 and row 6, column 4, the periwinkle tile at row 7, column 4, and the lilac tile at row 8, column 4. Nine crosses so far, and two full columns are now reserved.
The last two crosses use technique T4, a tile that touches every open tile of a color. Apricot only has row 2, column 5 and row 3, column 5 left. The tile at row 2, column 6 sits beside the first and diagonally beside the second, so it touches them both and has to be crossed out. The tile at row 3, column 4 does the same thing from the other side, so it goes too. That second cross is the payoff, because row 3, column 4 was one of the two matcha tiles. Matcha now has a single open tile at row 4, column 4, and that is your second cat.
The cascade that finishes the level
Once the matcha cat lands, Meowdoku Level 107 more or less solves itself. The matcha cat clears row 4 and column 4, which takes away row 3, column 5 from apricot and leaves it with row 2, column 5 alone. Butter is then reduced to row 3, column 7, and mint to row 5, column 1.
From there soda takes row 6, column 8, periwinkle takes row 7, column 2, and lilac closes the board at row 8, column 6. Every one of those placements is technique T1, the last open tile in a color, which means the entire second half of the level needs no crosses whatsoever.
That shape is worth recognising. When a board front-loads all of its crosses, the right approach is to be very thorough early and then trust the momentum. Rushing the opening on a board like this is the only real way to lose a fish in these brain games.
Getting better at spotting column locks
Players often look for row locks and forget that columns work exactly the same way. Meowdoku Level 107 uses two column locks side by side, and the second one only becomes visible because a tiny two-tile region happens to be vertical.
Try these habits the next time you open one of these free online games.
- Scan every region with two or three tiles and ask whether they share a column as well as a row.
- When two neighbouring lines both get locked, expect a big pile of crosses in the rows that cross them.
- Remember that a T4 cross can land on a tile belonging to the locked color itself, as row 3, column 4 does here.
- Count a region again after every cross, since eleven crosses on this board produced only one placement.
- If the opening chain feels long, work slowly with single taps and settle a cat only when nothing else fits.
Step-by-step Meowdoku Level 107 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 3 (rose)
The rose region has only one open tile left, so its cat goes on row 1, column 3. Technique: Last open tile in a color.
Cat 2: row 4, column 4 (matcha)
First, cross out the tiles that cannot hold a cat:
- Every open apricot tile sits in column 5, so that column's cat must be apricot. Cross out the butter tile at row 4, column 5.
- Every open apricot tile sits in column 5, so that column's cat must be apricot. Cross out the soda tile at row 5, column 5.
- Every open apricot tile sits in column 5, so that column's cat must be apricot. Cross out the lilac tile at row 6, column 5.
- Every open apricot tile sits in column 5, so that column's cat must be apricot. Cross out the lilac tile at row 7, column 5.
- Every open apricot tile sits in column 5, so that column's cat must be apricot. Cross out the lilac tile at row 8, column 5.
- Every open matcha tile sits in column 4, so that column's cat must be matcha. Cross out the lilac tile at row 5, column 4.
- Every open matcha tile sits in column 4, so that column's cat must be matcha. Cross out the lilac tile at row 6, column 4.
- Every open matcha tile sits in column 4, so that column's cat must be matcha. Cross out the periwinkle tile at row 7, column 4.
- Every open matcha tile sits in column 4, so that column's cat must be matcha. Cross out the lilac tile at row 8, column 4.
- The tile at row 2, column 6 touches every open tile left in the apricot region. Wherever the apricot cat lands, it would touch this tile, so cross it out.
- The tile at row 3, column 4 touches every open tile left in the apricot region. Wherever the apricot cat lands, it would touch this tile, so cross it out.
With the rows, columns, and neighbors of the first cat crossed out, the matcha region has only one open tile left, so its cat goes on row 4, column 4. Technique: Last open tile in a color.
Cat 3: row 2, column 5 (apricot)
With the rows, columns, and neighbors of the 2 cats placed so far crossed out, the apricot region has only one open tile left, so its cat goes on row 2, column 5. 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 1 (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 1. Technique: Last open tile in a color.
Cat 6: row 6, column 8 (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 8. Technique: Last open tile in a color.
Cat 7: row 7, column 2 (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 2. Technique: Last open tile in a color.
Cat 8: row 8, column 6 (lilac)
With the rows, columns, and neighbors of the 7 cats placed so far crossed out, the lilac region has only one open tile left, so its cat goes on row 8, column 6. Technique: Last open tile in a color.
Meowdoku Level 107 solved board
Here is the finished board. Every row, every column, and every color holds exactly one cat, and no two cats touch, not even at the corners.
Meowdoku Level 107 FAQ
What is the solution to Meowdoku Level 107?
In solve order, the cats go on row 1, column 3 (rose); row 4, column 4 (matcha); row 2, column 5 (apricot); row 3, column 7 (butter); row 5, column 1 (mint); row 6, column 8 (soda); row 7, column 2 (periwinkle); and row 8, column 6 (lilac).
Where do I place the first cat in Meowdoku Level 107?
Place the first cat on row 1, column 3. Rose is a single-tile region there, so the rose cat is forced, and because the tile sits in the middle of the top edge it clears a great deal of the board at once.
How do I find the matcha cat in Meowdoku Level 107?
Lock apricot to column 5 and cross out row 4, column 5, row 5, column 5, row 6, column 5, row 7, column 5, and row 8, column 5. Lock matcha to column 4 and cross out row 5, column 4, row 6, column 4, row 7, column 4, and row 8, column 4. Then cross out row 2, column 6 and row 3, column 4 because each touches every open apricot tile. Matcha is left with one open tile at row 4, column 4.
Why do the last cats in Meowdoku Level 107 feel so fast?
All eleven crosses in the level are spent before the second cat. After the matcha cat lands at row 4, column 4, each remaining color is already down to one open tile, so apricot, butter, mint, soda, periwinkle, and lilac are placed by technique T1 with no extra work.
