How to Beat Meowdoku Level 11: Two Tiny Colors and a Busy Row 9
Meowdoku Level 11 is a 9x9 board with two single-tile colors, a butter region locked to row 3, and a last-tile finish in row 9.
Meowdoku Level 11 opens up a roomy 9x9 grid with nine colors, so you need nine cats. The rules of Meowdoku stay the same: one cat per row, one per column, one per color, and no two cats touching, including diagonally. The whole game is free and runs in your browser.
Although the board is big, it is rated easy, because it hands you two free cats right at the start. The interesting part comes later, when a couple of colors lock themselves into single columns and a row near the bottom ends up with only one spot left. This guide covers all of it in plain language for fans of cat games and brain games.
Meowdoku Level 11 at a glance
- Board: 9×9 grid with 9 colored regions and 9 cats to place
- Difficulty: Easy
- Hardest technique needed: Color locked to one line
- Logical steps: 15 (9 cats and 6 crosses)
- Smallest color: rose with 1 tile
Reading the Meowdoku Level 11 regions
The nine colors are rose, apricot, butter, matcha, mint, soda, periwinkle, lilac, and bubblegum. Rose and apricot are both single tiles, rose at row 1, column 2 and apricot at row 2, column 7. After those two, the sizes climb steadily: matcha has eight tiles, lilac has nine, butter and soda have ten each, mint has eleven, periwinkle has fifteen, and bubblegum is the largest with sixteen.
Mint runs down the left side, butter sits across the top middle, matcha fills the top right corner, and bubblegum wraps around the bottom rows. A board with two one-tile colors is a gift in any cat puzzle game, since it gives you two cats before you have to think hard about the larger shapes.
The opening pair: rose and apricot
Settle the rose cat on row 1, column 2 first, because that color has no other tile. Then look at apricot, which is also a single tile at row 2, column 7. It still has its one open tile after the rose crosses, so it becomes your second cat.
Those two cats cover rows 1 and 2 and cut into the butter and matcha regions near the top. That sets up the first real deduction of the level, and it is a good reminder that in logic puzzle games the early free moves are often what make the later steps possible.
The key moment: locked lines and the last tile in row 9
With rows 1 and 2 taken, every open butter tile now sits in row 3. That row must give its cat to butter, so you can cross the mint tile at row 3, column 1, the periwinkle tile at row 3, column 5, and the matcha tile at row 3, column 9. Losing that matcha tile leaves matcha with one open tile, row 4, column 8, and the soda and mint cats follow right behind it.
The trickiest stretch comes next. Every open periwinkle tile lies in column 6, which removes the bubblegum tile at row 9, column 6. Every open lilac tile lies in column 3, which removes the butter tile at row 3, column 3 and gives butter its last tile at row 3, column 4. The same lilac lock also removes the bubblegum tile at row 9, column 3.
Now look at row 9 as a whole instead of at a color. After all those crosses, row 9 has just one open tile, the bubblegum tile at row 9, column 5, so that row must put its cat there. This is the last-open-tile-in-a-line idea, and it is the one moment on this board where you check a row rather than a region. Periwinkle and lilac then drop into place to finish the puzzle, a tidy ending that fans of logic puzzle games will enjoy.
What Level 11 teaches for bigger boards
Large grids can feel overwhelming, but Meowdoku Level 11 shows that the same small ideas still do the work. These tips will help you on later 9x9 levels and in other free online games built on grid logic.
Most of all, remember that a big board is not automatically a hard one. Take the free cats first, cross tiles patiently, and switch between checking colors, rows, and columns whenever one view stops giving you answers.
- Count your single-tile colors first; this board has two, and both are free cats.
- A color squeezed into one row or column lets you clear the rest of that line.
- When colors stop giving you a single tile, scan each row and column for one open spot.
- Keep crossing tiles as you go, since one cross can finish a color on the other side of the board.
Step-by-step Meowdoku Level 11 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 7 (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 7. Technique: Last open tile in a color.
Cat 3: row 4, column 8 (matcha)
First, cross out the tiles that cannot hold a cat:
- Every open butter tile sits in row 3, so that row's cat must be butter. Cross out the mint tile at row 3, column 1.
- Every open butter tile sits in row 3, so that row's cat must be butter. Cross out the periwinkle tile at row 3, column 5.
- Every open butter tile sits in row 3, so that row's cat must be butter. Cross out the matcha tile at row 3, column 9.
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 8. Technique: Last open tile in a color.
Cat 4: row 6, column 9 (soda)
With the rows, columns, and neighbors of the 3 cats placed so far crossed out, the soda region has only one open tile left, so its cat goes on row 6, column 9. 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 3, column 4 (butter)
First, cross out the tiles that cannot hold a cat:
- Every open periwinkle tile sits in column 6, so that column's cat must be periwinkle. Cross out the bubblegum tile at row 9, column 6.
- Every open lilac tile sits in column 3, so that column's cat must be lilac. Cross out the butter tile at row 3, column 3.
With the rows, columns, and neighbors of the 5 cats placed so far crossed out, the butter region has only one open tile left, so its cat goes on row 3, column 4. Technique: Last open tile in a color.
Cat 7: row 9, column 5 (bubblegum)
First, cross out the tiles that cannot hold a cat:
- Every open lilac tile sits in column 3, so that column's cat must be lilac. Cross out the bubblegum tile at row 9, column 3.
With the rows, columns, and neighbors of the 6 cats placed so far crossed out, row 9 has only one open tile left, the bubblegum tile at row 9, column 5, so its cat goes there. Technique: Last open tile in a row or column.
Cat 8: row 7, column 6 (periwinkle)
With the rows, columns, and neighbors of the 7 cats placed so far crossed out, the periwinkle region has only one open tile left, so its cat goes on row 7, column 6. Technique: Last open tile in a color.
Cat 9: row 8, column 3 (lilac)
With the rows, columns, and neighbors of the 8 cats placed so far crossed out, the lilac region has only one open tile left, so its cat goes on row 8, column 3. Technique: Last open tile in a color.

Meowdoku Level 11 FAQ
What is the solution to Meowdoku Level 11?
The cats go, in solve order, on row 1, column 2 (rose); row 2, column 7 (apricot); row 4, column 8 (matcha); row 6, column 9 (soda); row 5, column 1 (mint); row 3, column 4 (butter); row 9, column 5 (bubblegum); row 7, column 6 (periwinkle); and row 8, column 3 (lilac).
Where should I start in Meowdoku Level 11?
Start with the rose cat on row 1, column 2, since rose is a single tile. The apricot region is also a single tile, so its cat at row 2, column 7 comes next.
How is the bubblegum cat found in Meowdoku Level 11?
Periwinkle is locked to column 6 and lilac is locked to column 3, which crosses the bubblegum tiles at row 9, column 6 and row 9, column 3. After that, row 9 has only one open tile left, row 9, column 5, so the bubblegum cat goes there.
Is Meowdoku Level 11 hard?
It is rated easy even though it is a 9x9 board. Most cats come from a color with one open tile left, with a few locked lines and one row check along the way. It is a comfortable step up in this cat puzzle game.
