Meowdoku Level 6 Walkthrough: Two Tiny Colors and a Stacked Row Lock

Meowdoku Level 6 opens with two single-tile colors, then uses apricot locked in row 2 and butter locked in row 3 to free matcha and soda. Here is the full reasoning.

Meowdoku Level 6 is the first 8×8 board in Meowdoku, the free cat puzzle game you play in your browser. With eight rows, eight columns, and eight colors, there is a lot more to look at, but the rules have not changed: one cat per row, column, and color, and no cats touching.

The good news is that this level hands you two easy cats straight away. The interesting part comes next, when two colors lock into neighboring rows and quietly clear the path for the rest. If you enjoy cat games, animal games, or sudoku-style puzzles that reward patience, Meowdoku Level 6 is a great board to slow down and savor.

Meowdoku Level 6 board overview

The eight colors are rose, apricot, butter, matcha, mint, soda, periwinkle, and lilac. Two of them are single tiles: rose at row 1, column 2 and mint at row 5, column 8. Matcha is the next smallest with four tiles on the left edge.

Apricot has nine tiles across the top left, butter and soda have ten tiles each, periwinkle has fourteen tiles in the lower left, and lilac is the largest with fifteen tiles in the lower right. For logic puzzle games of this size, it helps to sort the colors from smallest to largest before you tap anything.

The opening: two single-tile colors

Your first cat on Meowdoku Level 6 goes on row 1, column 2, the only rose tile. Right after that, place the mint cat on row 5, column 8, since mint is also a region of just one tile.

These two cats are far apart, so they do not affect each other, but together they remove row 1, row 5, column 2, and column 8 from play. That makes the top-left colors much tighter, which is exactly where the next deduction in this cat puzzle game hides.

The key moment: apricot owns row 2, butter owns row 3

Look at apricot after the first two cats. Its row 1 tiles are gone, and row 3, column 2 sits in the used column 2, so every open apricot tile is in row 2. That means the row 2 cat must be apricot, and you can cross out the butter tiles at row 2, column 6 and row 2, column 7.

Those crosses have a knock-on effect. Butter has lost row 1 to the rose cat and now lost its row 2 tiles, so every open butter tile sits in row 3. The row 3 cat must be butter, so cross out the matcha tile at row 3, column 1. Matcha is then down to row 4, column 1, and its cat goes there.

The same butter lock also removes the soda tile at row 3, column 7. With that and the other cats in place, soda has a single open tile at row 6, column 5. One lock feeding the next like this is a pattern you will see again and again in brain games with colored regions.

Finishing the board and tips to remember

Once matcha and soda are settled, apricot finally lands on row 2, column 4, the row it had claimed, and butter lands on row 3, column 6. Periwinkle then has one tile left at row 7, column 3, and lilac closes out Meowdoku Level 6 on row 8, column 7.

Keep these ideas handy for later levels of this free online games favorite.

  • Place every single-tile color first, even when they sit far apart.
  • After one line lock, check whether it pushes another color into the next line.
  • A locked color is often placed later than the cats its lock helped you find.
  • On an 8×8 board, crosses are your best friend, so tap them in as you reason.

Meowdoku Level 6 FAQ

What is the solution to Meowdoku Level 6?

In solve order, the cats go on row 1, column 2 (rose); row 5, column 8 (mint); row 4, column 1 (matcha); row 6, column 5 (soda); row 2, column 4 (apricot); row 3, column 6 (butter); row 7, column 3 (periwinkle); and row 8, column 7 (lilac).

What should my first move be on Meowdoku Level 6?

Place the rose cat on row 1, column 2, because rose is a one-tile region. The mint region is also one tile, so the mint cat on row 5, column 8 comes right after.

How do I find the matcha cat in Meowdoku Level 6?

Every open apricot tile is in row 2, which crosses the butter tiles at row 2, column 6 and row 2, column 7. That leaves every open butter tile in row 3, so the matcha tile at row 3, column 1 is crossed and matcha must go on row 4, column 1.

Is Meowdoku Level 6 hard?

It is an easy level with one step up in thinking. Most cats are the last open tile of a color, and the trickiest moments are colors locked to a single row.
