Meowdoku Level 29 Strategy: Let the Rows Place Your Cats
Meowdoku Level 29 is a medium 7x7 board where column locks clear the way and then rows 7, 5, and 4 each force a cat on their own.
Meowdoku Level 29 is a medium 7x7 board with seven colored regions. As in every level of Meowdoku, the free cat puzzle game for your browser, you place one cat per row, column, and color, and cats are never allowed to touch, even at a corner.
What makes this level special is how often rows do the work. After a few colors are locked into columns, three cats in a row are found simply because a row has one open tile left. It is a friendly lesson for anyone who enjoys cat games and logic puzzle games and wants to look beyond colors alone.

- Hardest technique needed: Color locked to one line

A look at the Meowdoku Level 29 regions
The seven colors are rose, apricot, butter, matcha, mint, soda, and periwinkle. Rose is a single tile in the top left corner at row 1, column 1. Soda is next with three tiles in the lower right, and butter has four tiles near the top right.
Apricot has six tiles and mint has seven. Periwinkle spreads across twelve tiles, including the whole bottom row, and matcha is the largest color with sixteen tiles winding through the middle. In brain games like this, the big middle region is rarely where you begin.
Opening move: the rose corner
Rose has just one tile, so the first cat of Meowdoku Level 29 sits on row 1, column 1. It crosses the rest of row 1, column 1, and the tile diagonally below it.
With row 1 gone, apricot is left with tiles only in column 4, and butter is left with tiles only in column 7. Apricot claiming column 4 crosses the matcha and periwinkle tiles lower in that column. Butter claiming column 7 crosses the matcha tile at row 4, column 7 and the soda tiles at rows 5 and 6 of column 7. Soda then has one open tile left, at row 6, column 6, and that is the second cat.
The key moment: rows 7, 5, and 4 each force a cat
Before the rows of Meowdoku Level 29 can help, check mint. Every open mint tile sits in column 2, so the periwinkle tile at row 7, column 2 is crossed. Now row 7 has only one open tile left, the periwinkle tile at row 7, column 3, so the periwinkle cat goes there because that row still needs a cat.
That cat clears more space, and row 5 is now down to one open tile, the mint tile at row 5, column 2. Place the mint cat there. Then row 4 has only one open tile, the matcha tile at row 4, column 5, which becomes the matcha cat.
The finish is quick. Apricot has one tile left at row 2, column 4, and butter has one tile left at row 3, column 7. Seven cats, and the board is solved.
Row counting tips for future Meowdoku boards
Level 29 is a gentle reminder that a row or column can force a cat just as easily as a color can. Build the habit of counting both, and harder free online games in this style will feel much more manageable.
Meowdoku is free and runs in your browser, so you can replay this level any time to practice spotting a row that is down to its last open tile.
- After the first cat, check which colors now fit inside a single column.
- Clear locked columns fully before looking for the next placement.
- Count open tiles in every row, not only in every color.
- A row with one open tile forces a cat, so you do not have to wait for its color to shrink first.
Step-by-step Meowdoku Level 29 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 6, column 6 (soda)
First, cross out the tiles that cannot hold a cat:
- Every open apricot tile sits in column 4, so that column's cat must be apricot. Cross out the matcha tile at row 4, column 4.
- Every open apricot tile sits in column 4, so that column's cat must be apricot. Cross out the periwinkle tile at row 5, column 4.
- Every open apricot tile sits in column 4, so that column's cat must be apricot. Cross out the periwinkle tile at row 6, column 4.
- Every open apricot tile sits in column 4, so that column's cat must be apricot. Cross out the periwinkle tile at row 7, column 4.
- Every open butter tile sits in column 7, so that column's cat must be butter. Cross out the matcha tile at row 4, column 7.
- Every open butter tile sits in column 7, so that column's cat must be butter. Cross out the soda 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 soda tile at row 6, column 7.
With the rows, columns, and neighbors of the first cat crossed out, the soda region has only one open tile left, so its cat goes on row 6, column 6. Technique: Last open tile in a color.
Cat 3: row 7, column 3 (periwinkle)
First, cross out the tiles that cannot hold a cat:
- Every open mint tile sits in column 2, so that column's cat must be mint. Cross out the periwinkle tile at row 7, column 2.
With the rows, columns, and neighbors of the 2 cats placed so far crossed out, row 7 has only one open tile left, the periwinkle tile at row 7, column 3, so its cat goes there. Technique: Last open tile in a row or column.
Cat 4: row 5, column 2 (mint)
With the rows, columns, and neighbors of the 3 cats placed so far crossed out, row 5 has only one open tile left, the mint tile at row 5, column 2, so its cat goes there. Technique: Last open tile in a row or column.
Cat 5: row 4, column 5 (matcha)
With the rows, columns, and neighbors of the 4 cats placed so far crossed out, row 4 has only one open tile left, the matcha tile at row 4, column 5, so its cat goes there. Technique: Last open tile in a row or column.
Cat 6: row 2, column 4 (apricot)
With the rows, columns, and neighbors of the 5 cats placed so far 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 7: row 3, column 7 (butter)
With the rows, columns, and neighbors of the 6 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.
