Meowdoku Level 27 Walkthrough: Clearing Columns Before the Butter Cat
Meowdoku Level 27 is a hard 8x8 board where four colors lock into single lines and a tile beside the butter region gets crossed. After that, six cats fall in a row.
Meowdoku Level 27 is a hard 8x8 board with eight colored regions. In Meowdoku, the free cat puzzle game that runs in any browser, you settle one cat in every row, every column, and every color, and no cat may touch another, even diagonally.
The first two cats come quickly, and then the board asks for patience. Before the butter cat can be placed, you need to clear out several columns and one row by noticing where small colors are trapped. It is a great workout for anyone who enjoys cat games and logic puzzle games with a satisfying payoff.
Meowdoku Level 27 at a glance
- Board: 8×8 grid with 8 colored regions and 8 cats to place
- Difficulty: Hard
- Hardest technique needed: Tile touching a whole color
- Logical steps: 21 (8 cats and 13 crosses)
- Smallest color: rose with 1 tile
How the Meowdoku Level 27 board is built
The eight colors are rose, apricot, butter, matcha, mint, soda, periwinkle, and lilac. Rose is a single tile at row 1, column 2, surrounded by apricot. Matcha is tiny with three tiles near the right side, and mint has five tiles along the left edge.
Soda and lilac are the two giants, with sixteen tiles each. Soda fills the middle of the board, while lilac covers the whole bottom row and much of the lower right. Butter, with six tiles, hugs the top right corner and turns out to be the color that everything else revolves around in this cat puzzle game.
Opening moves: rose, then apricot
The only one-tile region is rose, so the first cat of Meowdoku Level 27 goes on row 1, column 2. Crossing out its row, column, and neighbors strips most of the apricot tiles away.
In fact, apricot is left with just one open tile at row 2, column 4, so the second cat goes there. That is the end of the easy part, and the next cat takes a longer look at the board.
The key moment: locking columns and crossing a butter neighbor
The central puzzle of Meowdoku Level 27 starts with the columns. Every open butter tile sits in column 8, so butter owns that column and the lilac tiles at rows 5 through 8 of column 8 are crossed. Every open mint tile sits in column 1, which removes the periwinkle tile at row 7, column 1 and the lilac tile at row 8, column 1. Every open periwinkle tile sits in column 3, which removes the soda tile at row 6, column 3 and the lilac tile at row 8, column 3.
Next comes the trickiest idea. The tile at row 3, column 7 touches every open butter tile, so any butter cat would be its neighbor, and it must be crossed. Then look at matcha: all of its open tiles sit in row 4, so row 4 belongs to matcha. That crosses the mint tile at row 4, column 1, the periwinkle tile at row 4, column 3, the soda tile at row 4, column 5, and the butter tile at row 4, column 8.
With those crosses done, butter has one open tile left at row 3, column 8. From there the board unwinds color by color: matcha on row 4, column 6, soda on row 6, column 5, mint on row 5, column 1, periwinkle on row 7, column 3, and lilac on row 8, column 7.
Tips from Level 27 that help in later Meowdoku levels
When a board stalls after an easy start, the answer is usually a small color hiding inside one line. Level 27 has four of them at once, which makes it great practice for brain games of every size.
Work through the locks patiently, since each one only removes tiles and never places a cat by itself. The cats start arriving once the crossing is done.
- Scan each small color and ask whether it fits entirely in one row or one column.
- Clear every other color out of a claimed line right away, before looking for the next cat.
- Check tiles next to a small region, since a tile that borders all of its options is always empty.
- Expect a long chain of easy cats once the hard crosses are finished.

Step-by-step Meowdoku Level 27 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 3, column 8 (butter)
First, cross out the tiles that cannot hold a cat:
- Every open butter tile sits in column 8, so that column's cat must be butter. Cross out the lilac tile at row 5, column 8.
- Every open butter tile sits in column 8, so that column's cat must be butter. Cross out the lilac tile at row 6, column 8.
- Every open butter tile sits in column 8, so that column's cat must be butter. Cross out the lilac tile at row 7, column 8.
- Every open butter tile sits in column 8, so that column's cat must be butter. Cross out the lilac tile at row 8, column 8.
- Every open mint tile sits in column 1, so that column's cat must be mint. Cross out the periwinkle tile at row 7, column 1.
- Every open mint tile sits in column 1, so that column's cat must be mint. Cross out the lilac tile at row 8, column 1.
- Every open periwinkle tile sits in column 3, so that column's cat must be periwinkle. Cross out the soda tile at row 6, column 3.
- Every open periwinkle tile sits in column 3, so that column's cat must be periwinkle. Cross out the lilac tile at row 8, column 3.
- The tile at row 3, column 7 touches every open tile left in the butter region. Wherever the butter cat lands, it would touch this tile, so cross it out.
- 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 1.
- Every open matcha tile sits in row 4, so that row's cat must be matcha. Cross out the periwinkle tile at row 4, column 3.
- Every open matcha tile sits in row 4, so that row's cat must be matcha. Cross out the soda tile at row 4, column 5.
- Every open matcha tile sits in row 4, so that row's cat must be matcha. Cross out the butter tile at row 4, column 8.
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 8. Technique: Last open tile in a color.
Cat 4: row 4, column 6 (matcha)
With the rows, columns, and neighbors of the 3 cats placed so far crossed out, the matcha region has only one open tile left, so its cat goes on row 4, column 6. Technique: Last open tile in a color.
Cat 5: row 6, column 5 (soda)
With the rows, columns, and neighbors of the 4 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.

Meowdoku Level 27 FAQ
What is the solution to Meowdoku Level 27?
In solve order, the cats go on row 1, column 2 (rose); row 2, column 4 (apricot); row 3, column 8 (butter); row 4, column 6 (matcha); row 6, column 5 (soda); row 5, column 1 (mint); row 7, column 3 (periwinkle); and row 8, column 7 (lilac).
What is the first move in Meowdoku Level 27?
Place the rose cat on row 1, column 2. Rose is a single tile, so its cat has only that one home, and it leaves apricot with just row 2, column 4.
How do I find the butter cat in Meowdoku Level 27?
Butter is locked into column 8, and the tile at row 3, column 7 touches every open butter tile, so it is crossed. Matcha is locked into row 4, which crosses the butter tile at row 4, column 8. That leaves butter with only row 3, column 8.
