MeowBlock! Level 11 Walkthrough
MeowBlock! Level 11 is a 36-cell inset board where the lower edge dictates the upper partition. Seal the `r6c6=2` right edge, finish the bottom `3`, `3`, and `4` rectangles, and preserve column 5 for the tall `r4c5=4` corridor before closing the top row.
How to Solve MeowBlock! Level 11 — Full Solution
- 1. Anchor `r6c6=2` and drag to `r7c6`, committing `r6c6:r7c6` (1x2, area 2) to seal the lower-right edge.
- 2. Anchor `r6c4=3` and drag left to `r6c3`, committing `r6c3:r6c5` (1x3, area 3) without taking `r6c2`.
- 3. Anchor `r7c3=3` and drag right to `r7c5`, committing `r7c3:r7c5` (1x3, area 3) below the previous strip.
- 4. Anchor `r6c1=4` and drag to `r7c2`, committing `r6c1:r7c2` (2x2, area 4) in the lower-left corner.
- 5. Anchor `r4c5=4` and drag upward to `r2c5`, committing `r2c5:r5c5` (4x1, area 4) as the tall right-side corridor.
- 6. Anchor `r5c3=6` and drag to the opposite corner `r4c2`, committing `r4c2:r5c4` (2x3, area 6) across the inset center.
- 7. Anchor `r2c1=4` and drag to `r1c2`, committing `r1c1:r2c2` (2x2, area 4) in the upper-left corner.
- 8. Anchor `r3c2=3` and drag to `r3c4`, committing `r3c2:r3c4` (1x3, area 3) across the remaining middle row.
- 9. Anchor `r1c6=2` and drag down to `r2c6`, committing `r1c6:r2c6` (2x1, area 2) along the top-right edge.
- 10. Anchor `r1c5=3` and drag left to `r1c3`, committing `r1c3:r1c5` (1x3, area 3) across the remaining top cells.
- 11. Finish with `r2c4=2` by dragging left to `r2c3`, committing `r2c3:r2c4` (1x2, area 2) as the final rectangle.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Using `r6c2:r6c4` for the `r6c4=3` clue blocks `r6c2` and leaves the `r6c1=4` clue with no legal 2x2 completion.
- Spending column 5 on a vertical `r1c5=3` rectangle before placing `r4c5=4` leaves the lower c5 corridor and the `4` clue unsatisfied.
Quick Tips for MeowBlock! Level 11 (spoiler-free)
- Lock `r6c6:r7c6` first, then keep column 5 available until the vertical `r4c5=4` rectangle is placed.
- With 11 colors in play, clear the pair with the fewest blockers first so the board opens up instead of tightening.
- If the board feels stuck, look for the color with the cleanest path and use that to regain space.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- The coordinate frame is 7 rows by 6 columns with 36 playable cells: rows 1-2 and 6-7 use c1-c6, while rows 3-5 use only c2-c5. Clues are `r1c5=3`, `r1c6=2`, `r2c1=4`, `r2c4=2`, `r3c2=3`, `r4c5=4`, `r5c3=6`, `r6c1=4`, `r6c4=3`, `r6c6=2`, and `r7c3=3`.
- Goal
- Partition all 36 cells into one non-overlapping rectangle per clue. The lower-right `r6c6=2` must occupy `r6c6:r7c6`; the lower strips then resolve around the `r6c1=4` corner, the central `r5c3=6` block, and the vertical `r4c5=4` corridor.
- Opening
- Follow the video order: `r6c6=2` -> `r6c6:r7c6`, `r6c4=3` -> `r6c3:r6c5`, `r7c3=3` -> `r7c3:r7c5`, `r6c1=4` -> `r6c1:r7c2`, then `r4c5=4` -> `r2c5:r5c5`.
- Danger Zone
- Do not place `r6c4=3` at the area-correct alternative `r6c2:r6c4`: that consumes the cell needed by the only workable `r6c1=4` 2x2 corner at `r6c1:r7c2`. Do not turn `r1c5=3` into a vertical strip either, because column 5 must remain open for `r4c5=4`.
- Mechanics
- The board has inset middle rows rather than a full rectangle, so the first lower-edge placements establish the available corridors. The video also shows transient touch circles and preview numbers; only the colored rectangles that persist after release are committed regions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does MeowBlock! Level 11 start at the lower-right `2`?
The `r6c6=2` clue has the clean boundary rectangle `r6c6:r7c6`. Committing it first fixes the right edge and leaves the two bottom `3` strips and the `r6c1=4` 2x2 corner free to close together.
What is the correct shape for the `r4c5=4` clue?
Use the four-cell vertical strip `r2c5:r5c5`. A horizontal or top-only alternative spends cells needed by the top `r1c5=3` and strands the c5 corridor.
