MeowBlock! Level 36 Walkthrough
Solve the compact MeowBlock! Level 36 by fixing the row-4 area-7 separator, securing the lower 3/6 cluster, and finishing the five-region upper chamber.
How to Solve MeowBlock! Level 36 — Full Solution
- Anchor r4c4=7 and drag to r4c1, committing r4c1:r4c7 as a 1x7 rectangle with area 7.
- Anchor r7c7=4 and drag to r5c7, committing r5c7:r8c7 as a 4x1 rectangle with area 4.
- Anchor r7c5=8 and drag to r5c5, committing r5c5:r8c6 as a 4x2 rectangle with area 8.
- Anchor r7c4=4 and drag to r5c4, committing r5c4:r8c4 as a 4x1 rectangle with area 4.
- Anchor r5c2=3 and drag to r5c1, committing r5c1:r5c3 as a 1x3 rectangle with area 3.
- Anchor r7c1=3 and drag to r6c1, committing r6c1:r8c1 as a 3x1 rectangle with area 3.
- Anchor r8c2=6 and drag to r6c2, committing r6c2:r8c3 as a 3x2 rectangle with area 6.
- Anchor r2c5=6 and drag to r1c5, committing r1c5:r2c7 as a 2x3 rectangle with area 6.
- Anchor r3c6=3 and drag to r3c5, committing r3c5:r3c7 as a 1x3 rectangle with area 3.
- Anchor r3c3=6 and drag to r2c1, committing r2c1:r3c3 as a 2x3 rectangle with area 6.
- Anchor r3c4=2 and drag to r2c4, committing r2c4:r3c4 as a 2x1 rectangle with area 2.
- Finish with r1c2=4 at r1c1:r1c4, a 1x4 rectangle with area 4.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Do not release r1c6:r3c6 for r3c6=3; although its area is 3, it leaves the upper remainder unsolvable.
- Do not keep the provisional r1c1:r2c2 area-4 square; r1c2=4 belongs to the full r1c1:r1c4 bar.
- Do not use the early horizontal area-6 preview along the bottom for r8c2=6; the persistent block is r6c2:r8c3.
Quick Tips for MeowBlock! Level 36 (spoiler-free)
- Use r4c1:r4c7 as a hard separator between the upper chamber and the lower 3/6 cluster.
- Keep r5c5:r8c6 area 8 beside the r5c4:r8c4 area-4 column and the r5c7:r8c7 area-4 wall.
- Finish the upper-right r1c5:r2c7 and r3c5:r3c7 pair before closing r1c1:r1c4.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- 8 rows by 7 columns, 56 cells. Clues: r1c2=4, r2c5=6, r3c3=6, r3c4=2, r3c6=3, r4c4=7, r5c2=3, r7c1=3, r7c4=4, r7c5=8, r7c7=4, r8c2=6. No unknown clues appear.
- Goal
- Partition all 56 cells into twelve rectangles: r1c1:r1c4 for area 4, r1c5:r2c7 for area 6, r2c1:r3c3 for area 6, r2c4:r3c4 for area 2, r3c5:r3c7 for area 3, r4c1:r4c7 for area 7, r5c1:r5c3 for area 3, r6c1:r8c1 for area 3, r5c4:r8c4 for area 4, r5c5:r8c6 for area 8, r5c7:r8c7 for area 4, and r6c2:r8c3 for area 6.
- Opening
- The persistent sequence starts with the row-4 area-7 strip and the right area-4 wall, then settles the lower area-8, area-4, area-3, area-3, and area-6 regions before resolving the upper 6/3/6/2/4 band.
- Danger Zone
- Reject the area-3 preview r1c6:r3c6 for r3c6=3; it strands the neighboring upper cells. The persistent area-3 rectangle is r3c5:r3c7. Also reject the provisional r1c1:r2c2 area-4 square in favor of r1c1:r1c4.
- Mechanics
- Every fixed integer is an exact rectangle area. The video shows temporary lower horizontal and upper square previews, so only regions that remain after release belong to the twelve-rectangle solved state.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the final shape for r3c6=3?
It is the horizontal r3c5:r3c7 rectangle, not the transient vertical r1c6:r3c6 preview.
Where does the r4c4=7 clue go?
It fills the complete row r4c1:r4c7, creating the separator between the upper and lower chambers.
How many rectangles solve Level 36?
Twelve rectangles cover all 56 cells in the persistent 8x7 solution.
