Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Do not use r6c4:r7c6 for r7c5=6; that 2x3 rectangle contains the r6c4=3 clue.
- Do not extend r3c1=4 down a single column, because r6c1=6 needs the 3x2 block r5c1:r7c2.
- Do not release the lower-center 3 before the r5c5:r7c6 block is fixed; the final lane is r5c4:r7c4.
Quick Tips for MeowBlock! Level 33 (spoiler-free)
- Use the full-width top strips and right-edge bars as the first hard boundaries.
- Reserve the full bottom strip r8c1:r8c6 for r8c3=6.
- Do not merge the lower-center r7c5=6 block with the r6c4=3 lane.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- Full 8-row by 7-column board with 56 playable cells. Clues: r1c4=7, r2c4=6, r3c1=4, r3c4=6, r3c7=3, r5c3=5, r6c1=6, r6c4=3, r6c7=4, r7c5=6, and r8c3=6.
- Goal
- Partition all 56 cells into eleven rectangles: r1c1:r1c7, r2c1:r2c6, r3c1:r4c2, r3c4:r4c6, r2c7:r4c7, r3c3:r7c3, r5c1:r7c2, r5c4:r7c4, r5c5:r7c6, r5c7:r8c7, and r8c1:r8c6.
- Opening
- The source first commits r1c4=7 as r1c1:r1c7 and r2c4=6 as r2c1:r2c6, then r3c7=3 as r2c7:r4c7 and r6c7=4 as r5c7:r8c7.
- Danger Zone
- The tempting r6c4:r7c6 2x3 preview for r7c5=6 captures r6c4=3. Keep the final r5c4:r7c4 lane open until the last lower-center redraw.
- Mechanics
- The board is an eleven-rectangle exact-area partition. The final lower-center 6-cell block is followed by the three-cell vertical lane, making the last pair order important.
