MeowBlock! Level 21 Walkthrough
Solve MeowBlock! Level 21 by locking the lower-right 2x2 first, then building the bottom strips and the two 8-cell upper regions.
How to Solve MeowBlock! Level 21 — Full Solution
- Anchor r5c6=4 and drag to r6c5, committing r5c5:r6c6 as a 2x2 rectangle with area 4.
- Anchor r7c4=5 and drag to r7c2, committing r7c2:r7c6 as a 1x5 rectangle with area 5.
- Anchor r6c1=3 and drag to r5c1, committing r5c1:r7c1 as a 3x1 rectangle with area 3.
- Anchor r6c2=6 and drag to r5c4, committing r5c2:r6c4 as a 2x3 rectangle with area 6.
- Anchor r2c3=8 and drag to r3c4, committing r2c1:r3c4 as a 2x4 rectangle with area 8.
- Anchor r2c5=8 and drag to r4c6, committing r1c5:r4c6 as a 4x2 rectangle with area 8.
- Anchor r4c2=4 and drag to r4c1, committing r4c1:r4c4 as a 1x4 rectangle with area 4.
- Anchor r1c3=4 and drag to r1c1, committing r1c1:r1c4 as a 1x4 rectangle with area 4.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Do not release the tempting r4c6:r7c6 area-4 preview; it consumes cells required by the final r5c5:r6c6 block.
- Do not place the bottom 5 before reserving its full r7c2:r7c6 strip.
- Do not narrow either 8-cell region; both must keep their full 2x4 or 4x2 footprint.
Quick Tips for MeowBlock! Level 21 (spoiler-free)
- Commit r5c5:r6c6 before touching the upper-right 8-cell region.
- Reserve row 7 columns 2-6 for the r7c4=5 strip.
- Use the final bounds, not the first vertical preview, for the lower-right 4.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Full 7-row by 6-column board with 42 playable cells. Clues: r1c3=4, r2c3=8, r2c5=8, r4c2=4, r5c6=4, r6c1=3, r6c2=6, r7c4=5.
- Goal
- Partition all 42 cells into eight rectangles: the lower-right 4 is r5c5:r6c6, the bottom 5 is r7c2:r7c6, and the two 8s occupy r2c1:r3c4 and r1c5:r4c6.
- Opening
- The persistent source order starts with r5c6=4 -> r5c5:r6c6, then r7c4=5 -> r7c2:r7c6, r6c1=3 -> r5c1:r7c1, and r6c2=6 -> r5c2:r6c4.
- Danger Zone
- The early r4c6:r7c6 preview has area 4 but is not the final r5c6 region; releasing it strands the bottom 5 and blocks the correct 2x2.
- Mechanics
- Every integer is a rectangle area clue on a full 7x6 grid. Temporary cat previews and touch circles do not count unless the rectangle remains after release.
