Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Do not shift the r4c8=8 rectangle right to r4c8:r7c9; it captures the separate r4c9=7 clue.
  • Do not replace the r2c2:r6c3 area-10 block with a 2x5 strip; it strands the center 5/5 columns.
  • Do not cut the r8c3:r8c9 area-7 bar while placing the lower 6/3/9 rectangles.

Quick Tips for MeowBlock! Level 37 (spoiler-free)

  • Start from r9c7:r11c9 and r1c9:r7c9 so the lower-right corner and right wall cannot drift.
  • Keep r8c3:r8c9 as a single area-7 bar above the lower 6/3/9 row.
  • Treat r2c4:r6c4 and r2c5:r6c5 as separate 5-cell columns beside the area-10 block.
Board notes 5 details
Layout
11 rows by 9 columns, 99 cells. Clues: r1c5=7, r2c3=10, r3c1=7, r3c8=6, r4c4=5, r4c5=5, r4c8=8, r4c9=7, r6c6=4, r7c4=4, r8c2=8, r8c6=7, r9c4=3, r10c5=6, r10c6=3, and r10c8=9. No unknown clues appear.
Goal
Partition all 99 cells into sixteen rectangles: r1c2:r1c8 for area 7, r2c2:r6c3 for area 10, r1c1:r7c1 for area 7, r2c6:r3c8 for area 6, r2c4:r6c4 for area 5, r2c5:r6c5 for area 5, r4c7:r7c8 for area 8, r1c9:r7c9 for area 7, r4c6:r7c6 for area 4, r7c2:r7c5 for area 4, r8c1:r11c2 for area 8, r8c3:r8c9 for area 7, r9c3:r9c5 for area 3, r10c3:r11c5 for area 6, r9c6:r11c6 for area 3, and r9c7:r11c9 for area 9.
Opening
The video first commits r9c7:r11c9 area 9 and the right r1c9:r7c9 area-7 wall. It then builds the lower 6/3/4/7/8 band, followed by the right area-8 and center columns, with the left wall and top area-7 bar last.
Danger Zone
The area-8 clue r4c8 can be shifted to r4c8:r7c9, but that captures r4c9=7. Keep it at r4c7:r7c8. Do not shorten r2c2:r6c3 area 10 to a strip; the adjacent r4c4=5 and r4c5=5 columns need the remaining middle cells.
Mechanics
The 11x9 board is a full exact-cover partition with two long outer walls and a dense central chamber. Temporary colored previews appear during several lower and upper drags; the persistent sixteen rectangles define the solution.
