Meowdoku Level 15 Explained: Locked Rows That Lead to the Bubblegum Cat
Meowdoku Level 15 is a 9x9 board where four colors lock to single rows and column 6 ends up with one open tile for the bubblegum cat.
Meowdoku Level 15 is a full 9x9 grid with nine colors, so you will place nine cats. Each row, column, and color takes one cat, and no two cats may touch in any direction, diagonals included. Meowdoku is free and plays straight in your browser.
This medium level has a long solve, with twenty steps in all. The first four cats arrive at a steady pace, and then the fifth cat asks you to work through a whole cluster of locked rows and touching tiles near the bottom of the board. This guide explains that stretch in plain words for fans of cat games, brain games, and logic puzzle games.
Meowdoku Level 15 at a glance
- Board: 9×9 grid with 9 colored regions and 9 cats to place
- Difficulty: Medium
- Hardest technique needed: Tile touching a whole color
- Logical steps: 20 (9 cats and 11 crosses)
- Smallest color: rose with 1 tile
Layout of the Meowdoku Level 15 board
This board uses all nine colors: rose, apricot, butter, matcha, mint, soda, periwinkle, lilac, and bubblegum. Rose is the smallest, one tile at row 1, column 1. Soda has four tiles, apricot has five, butter and bubblegum have nine each, matcha and periwinkle have eleven each, mint has twelve, and lilac is the largest at nineteen tiles in the lower left.
Apricot and butter share the top two rows, mint fills the upper left below them, and matcha curls across the middle right. Soda is a small zigzag in rows 5 and 6, periwinkle takes up much of the lower right, and bubblegum runs along the bottom row with a few tiles poking upward. In a cat puzzle game this size, it helps to find the small soda region early, because it plays a big role later.
The opening moves in Level 15
The first cat goes on row 1, column 1, since the rose region is only that one tile. Crossing around it leaves apricot with a single open tile at row 2, column 3, and after that cat, butter is left with one open tile at row 3, column 7.
The fourth cat needs one small extra step. Every open matcha tile now sits in row 4, so row 4 belongs to matcha and the mint tile at row 4, column 2 can be crossed. That leaves mint with one open tile at row 5, column 2. It is a gentle preview of the locked-row idea that the rest of this Meowdoku level leans on heavily.
The key moment: four locked rows and a single tile in column 6
After four cats, this cat puzzle game asks for real patience, so start with the rows. Matcha is still locked to row 4, which crosses the lilac tile at row 4, column 4. Every open soda tile is in row 6, so the periwinkle tiles at row 6, columns 6, 8, and 9 can go. Then the tiles at row 7, column 4 and row 7, column 5 each touch every open soda tile, so a cat on either would crowd soda out, and both are crossed.
Two more rows lock next. Every open lilac tile is in row 8, which crosses the bubblegum tiles at row 8, column 6 and row 8, column 8, plus the periwinkle tile at row 8, column 9. Every open periwinkle tile is in row 7, which crosses the bubblegum tile at row 7, column 6.
Now look at column 6. After all of those crosses, it has just one open tile left, the bubblegum tile at row 9, column 6, so the column must place its cat there. From that point the last four cats come one color at a time: lilac on row 8, column 4, soda on row 6, column 5, matcha on row 4, column 9, and periwinkle on row 7, column 8.
Tips from Level 15 to carry into later levels
Level 15 rewards players who keep checking rows after every cross. These habits will help on the larger boards that come later in Meowdoku and in other free online games built on grid logic.
It also helps to trust the process on long boards. Each cross you add is small, but together they narrow the grid until a single row, column, or color has only one choice, and then the remaining cats tend to arrive quickly.
- When several colors are stuck, check each one to see if it now fits inside a single row.
- Small regions like soda are perfect for touching-tile crosses in the row next to them.
- Crosses from different locked rows can pile up in one column, so count columns too.
- Long solves are just many simple steps; place a cross the moment you can prove it.
Step-by-step Meowdoku Level 15 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 1 (rose)
The rose region has only one open tile left, so its cat goes on row 1, column 1. Technique: Last open tile in a color.
Cat 2: row 2, column 3 (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 3. Technique: Last open tile in a color.
Cat 3: row 3, column 7 (butter)
With the rows, columns, and neighbors of the 2 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 4: row 5, column 2 (mint)
First, cross out the tiles that cannot hold a cat:
- Every open matcha tile sits in row 4, so that row's cat must be matcha. Cross out the mint tile at row 4, column 2.
With the rows, columns, and neighbors of the 3 cats placed so far crossed out, the mint region has only one open tile left, so its cat goes on row 5, column 2. Technique: Last open tile in a color.
Cat 5: row 9, column 6 (bubblegum)
First, cross out the tiles that cannot hold a cat:
- Every open matcha tile sits in row 4, so that row's cat must be matcha. Cross out the lilac tile at row 4, column 4.
- Every open soda tile sits in row 6, so that row's cat must be soda. Cross out the periwinkle tile at row 6, column 6.
- Every open soda tile sits in row 6, so that row's cat must be soda. Cross out the periwinkle tile at row 6, column 8.
- Every open soda tile sits in row 6, so that row's cat must be soda. Cross out the periwinkle tile at row 6, column 9.
- The tile at row 7, column 4 touches every open tile left in the soda region. Wherever the soda cat lands, it would touch this tile, so cross it out.
- The tile at row 7, column 5 touches every open tile left in the soda region. Wherever the soda cat lands, it would touch this tile, so cross it out.
- Every open lilac tile sits in row 8, so that row's cat must be lilac. Cross out the bubblegum tile at row 8, column 6.
- Every open lilac tile sits in row 8, so that row's cat must be lilac. Cross out the bubblegum tile at row 8, column 8.
- Every open lilac tile sits in row 8, so that row's cat must be lilac. Cross out the periwinkle tile at row 8, column 9.
- Every open periwinkle tile sits in row 7, so that row's cat must be periwinkle. Cross out the bubblegum tile at row 7, column 6.
With the rows, columns, and neighbors of the 4 cats placed so far crossed out, column 6 has only one open tile left, the bubblegum tile at row 9, column 6, so its cat goes there. Technique: Last open tile in a row or column.
Cat 6: row 8, column 4 (lilac)
With the rows, columns, and neighbors of the 5 cats placed so far crossed out, the lilac region has only one open tile left, so its cat goes on row 8, column 4. Technique: Last open tile in a color.
Cat 7: row 6, column 5 (soda)
With the rows, columns, and neighbors of the 6 cats placed so far crossed out, the soda region has only one open tile left, so its cat goes on row 6, column 5. Technique: Last open tile in a color.
Cat 8: row 4, column 9 (matcha)
With the rows, columns, and neighbors of the 7 cats placed so far crossed out, the matcha region has only one open tile left, so its cat goes on row 4, column 9. Technique: Last open tile in a color.
Cat 9: row 7, column 8 (periwinkle)
With the rows, columns, and neighbors of the 8 cats placed so far crossed out, the periwinkle region has only one open tile left, so its cat goes on row 7, column 8. Technique: Last open tile in a color.
Meowdoku Level 15 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.
