Meowdoku Level 77 Walkthrough: Small Colors Crack a 10x10 Board

Sizing up the Meowdoku Level 77 board

The ten colors here are rose, apricot, butter, matcha, mint, soda, periwinkle, lilac, bubblegum, and latte. Rose is the smallest at one tile, sitting in the corner at row 1, column 1. Apricot and soda are joint second smallest with three tiles each, apricot at row 1, columns 6 and 7 plus row 2, column 6, and soda at row 6, columns 6 and 7 plus row 7, column 6.

Periwinkle is the largest color with eighteen tiles across the right half of the board, latte has seventeen in the bottom right, lilac and bubblegum each have fourteen down the left side, matcha has thirteen in the top right, butter eleven in a block in the top left, and mint six in a small cluster just below butter.

Those three tiny regions are the clue to the whole level. In any cat puzzle game, a color with three tiles or fewer is only ever one or two crosses away from being solved, so Meowdoku Level 77 gives you several places to start at once.

The opening: the corner cat and two tiny regions

Rose has exactly one tile, so your first cat goes on row 1, column 1. That is technique T1, the last open tile in a color, and it clears row 1, column 1, and the tile at row 2, column 2.

Apricot only had three tiles and two of them were in row 1, so it is instantly reduced to row 2, column 6, where the second cat goes. Soda, all the way down in the middle right of the board, is next: after the apricot cat removes column 6, soda is left with a single open tile at row 6, column 7 for the third cat.

Three cats placed and still no crosses of your own. That is the payoff for reading region sizes before you start tapping, and it is a habit worth keeping in every one of these animal games.

The key moment: butter claims row 3 and mint claims row 5

Now Meowdoku Level 77 needs its first real deduction. Butter filled an eleven-tile block in the top left, but row 1 is gone under the rose cat, column 1 is gone, and rows 1 and 2 have been trimmed by the apricot cat, so every butter tile still open sits in row 3. Because each row holds exactly one cat, row 3 must belong to butter, which is technique T3 in action, a color locked to a single line.

Cross the mint tile at row 3, column 3 and the matcha tiles at row 3, columns 8, 9, and 10. Matcha has now lost its entire foothold in row 3 on top of everything the earlier cats removed, leaving one open tile at row 4, column 9, which is your fourth cat.

The same technique fires once more a couple of rows down. Every open mint tile now sits in row 5, so cross the lilac tile at row 5, column 2 and the periwinkle tile at row 5, column 5. Periwinkle is the biggest region on the board and it has just been squeezed to a single open tile at row 7, column 10, which is the fifth cat. Lilac, butter, mint, bubblegum, and latte then follow one after another as last open tiles, ending with latte at row 10, column 8.

Tactics for large Meowdoku grids

A 10x10 board holds a hundred tiles, and trying to hold all of it in your head is the main way players get lost in bigger logic puzzle games. The fix is to stop looking at the grid as a whole and work color by color, smallest first, which is exactly how Meowdoku Level 77 unravels.

It also helps to notice that the two locks in this level happened in rows rather than columns. That is not a coincidence: butter and mint are both wide, flat regions, and flat regions get locked into rows while tall regions get locked into columns. Reading the shape of a color tells you which kind of lock to look for.

These tactics keep a large board comfortable in a short session of free online games.

• Rank the colors by tile count when the level loads and work from the smallest upward.
• Expect wide regions to lock into rows and tall regions to lock into columns.
• After each cat, remember that its whole row, whole column, and eight neighbors are gone.
• Place every forced cat you can find before hunting for anything more advanced.
• Use a hint rather than a guess, because a wrong cat costs one fish even on an easy level.

What is the solution to Meowdoku Level 77?

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

Where do I start in Meowdoku Level 77?

Start with the rose cat on row 1, column 1. It is the only rose tile in Meowdoku Level 77, so the corner is forced, and it immediately reduces the three-tile apricot region to a single option at row 2, column 6.

How do I force the matcha cat in Meowdoku Level 77?

Because every open butter tile sits in row 3, that row is reserved for the butter cat. Cross the mint tile at row 3, column 3 and the matcha tiles at row 3, column 8, row 3, column 9, and row 3, column 10. Matcha is then left with one open tile at row 4, column 9.

Is Meowdoku Level 77 good practice for harder levels?

Yes. It is rated easy, but it uses technique T3, a color locked to one line, twice on a full-size board, which is exactly the pattern you will need on the harder brain games later in Meowdoku. Sixteen steps and six crosses make it a low-pressure place to practice.

How do the controls work in Meowdoku?

One tap marks a cross on a tile, and two taps settle a cat on it. Meowdoku is free and plays entirely in your browser, so Meowdoku Level 77 works the same way on a phone screen as it does with a mouse.
