Meowdoku Level 73 Walkthrough: Ten Colors That Fall Like Dominoes

The Meowdoku Level 73 board, color by color

This level fields all ten colors at once: rose, apricot, butter, matcha, mint, soda, periwinkle, lilac, bubblegum, and latte. Two of them are single tiles: rose at row 1, column 2 and butter at row 3, column 1. Periwinkle is almost as small with two tiles at row 6, column 10 and row 7, column 10.

At the other extreme, latte sprawls across twenty-seven tiles through the middle and the bottom left of the board, which makes it the biggest region in the level. Matcha holds sixteen tiles in the top right, lilac thirteen in the bottom right, bubblegum twelve down the left side, apricot eleven across the top left, soda ten in the right middle, and mint seven in a small block near the center.

When a cat puzzle game hands you two one-tile regions, take them as an invitation. Those tiles are free cats, and on a 10x10 board two free cats remove two rows, two columns, and a lot of neighbors before you have done any thinking at all.

The opening: two regions with nowhere else to go

Begin Meowdoku Level 73 with the rose cat at row 1, column 2. Rose occupies one tile, so this is the definition of a forced move, and it is technique T1, the last open tile in a color. Row 1 and column 2 clear immediately.

The butter region is also a single tile, so your second cat goes on row 3, column 1 with the same reasoning. Between them, these two cats strip rows 1 and 3 and columns 1 and 2, which is a large slice of a board this wide, and several colors are already far thinner than they look.

It is worth pausing here to appreciate how forgiving this level is. Nothing can go wrong in the opening of Meowdoku Level 73, which is why it is a good board to hand to someone trying these animal games for the first time.

The key moment: apricot reserves row 2

After the first two cats, no color is down to a single tile, so Meowdoku Level 73 needs one real deduction. Look at apricot. Its eleven tiles were spread across the top left, but row 1 is gone, column 1 and column 2 are gone, and the tiles beside the butter cat are gone too. Every apricot tile that is still open now sits in row 2.

Every row in Meowdoku holds exactly one cat, so if apricot can only live in row 2, then the cat in row 2 must be the apricot cat. This is technique T3, a color locked to a single line, and it bars every other color from row 2. Cross out the matcha tiles at row 2, columns 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10.

Those five crosses are the only ones in the entire level, and they do a lot of work. Matcha is left with exactly one open tile at row 4, column 9, so your third cat goes there, and the board starts tipping over.

Riding the cascade to the last cat

From the matcha cat onward, Meowdoku Level 73 solves itself if you keep sweeping. Mint drops to row 5, column 6. Soda drops to row 6, column 8. Periwinkle takes row 7, column 10, lilac takes row 8, column 7, bubblegum takes row 9, column 3, and the enormous latte region finally narrows to row 10, column 5. Apricot claims the row it reserved at the very start, at row 2, column 4.

Seven cats in a row, each one just the last open tile in its color, is what a cascade looks like. The practical lesson is to resist the urge to hunt for clever deductions after every placement. On easy boards in these logic puzzle games, the cheapest move is always to recheck every color for a single remaining tile first.

A few habits keep a cascade from stalling.

• Sweep colors in size order, smallest first, after each cat you settle.
• Remember that one cat clears a full row, a full column, and all eight neighbors.
• Do not stop at the first forced cat you find; place it, then sweep again immediately.
• Save the biggest region for last, since it usually resolves only after every other color has a line.
• On a 10x10 board, zoom in if tiles feel cramped so a single tap never lands on the wrong tile.

What is the solution to Meowdoku Level 73?

In solve order, the cats go on row 1, column 2 (rose); row 3, column 1 (butter); row 4, column 9 (matcha); row 5, column 6 (mint); row 6, column 8 (soda); row 7, column 10 (periwinkle); row 8, column 7 (lilac); row 9, column 3 (bubblegum); row 10, column 5 (latte); and row 2, column 4 (apricot).

What is the first move in Meowdoku Level 73?

Open with a cat on row 1, column 2, which is the lone rose tile. Meowdoku Level 73 also gives you a second free cat straight after, because butter is a single tile at row 3, column 1.

Which crosses do I actually need in Meowdoku Level 73?

Only five. Every open apricot tile sits in row 2, so row 2 is reserved for the apricot cat and you cross the matcha tiles at row 2, column 6, row 2, column 7, row 2, column 8, row 2, column 9, and row 2, column 10. Matcha is then forced onto row 4, column 9.

Is a 10x10 Meowdoku level harder than a smaller one?

Not always. Meowdoku Level 73 is rated easy even at 10x10, because the whole solution takes fifteen steps and the hardest idea is technique T3, a color locked to one line. Smaller boards in these cat games can demand far more crosses.
