MeowBlock! Level 4 Walkthrough
The 5x5 Level 4 solve locks r1c1-r1c5, expands the lower-right 6 to r4c3-r5c5, and leaves exact 2x3/2x2 bounds for the remaining clues.
How to Solve MeowBlock! Level 4 — Full Solution
- Anchor r1c5=5 and drag left to r1c1, committing the 1x5 top row r1c1-r1c5 (area 5).
- Anchor r4c5=6 and drag to the opposite corner r5c3, committing the 2x3 rectangle r4c3-r5c5 (area 6).
- Anchor r3c4=4 and drag to the opposite corner r2c5, committing the 2x2 rectangle r2c4-r3c5 (area 4).
- Anchor r2c2=6 and drag to the opposite corner r3c1, committing the 2x3 rectangle r2c1-r3c3 (area 6).
- Anchor r4c1=4 and drag to r5c2, committing the 2x2 rectangle r4c1-r5c2 (area 4).
Colors in this level:
Orange, Light blue, Pink, Indigo, Lavender
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Do not release r4c5=6 at r4c4-r5c5; that 2x2 preview has area 4 and leaves the c3 cells stranded.
- Do not stop r2c2=6 at a 2x2 footprint; the persistent rectangle is r2c1-r3c3, which fills six cells without stealing the upper-right 4.
Quick Tips for MeowBlock! Level 4 (spoiler-free)
- For each 6 clue, count to three columns before releasing.
- Keep the top row closed and leave the lower-left 2x2 for r4c1=4.
- Once r4c3-r5c5 is fixed, the upper-right 4 can only use r2c4-r3c5 cleanly.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- The board is 5 rows by 5 columns with clues r1c5=5, r2c2=6, r3c4=4, r4c1=4, and r4c5=6. There are no ? clues.
- Goal
- Partition all 25 cells into five non-overlapping rectangles: r1c1-r1c5 area 5, r2c1-r3c3 area 6, r2c4-r3c5 area 4, r4c1-r5c2 area 4, and r4c3-r5c5 area 6.
- Opening
- The accepted source order is r1c1-r1c5, r4c3-r5c5, r2c4-r3c5, r2c1-r3c3, then r4c1-r5c2.
- Danger Zone
- The lower-right 6 briefly previews as r4c4-r5c5, a neat but undersized area-4. The upper-left 6 also starts as a 2x2 preview; both final 6 rectangles must span three columns.
- Mechanics
- This is a standard rectangular partition board. The source shows area-incomplete touch previews before the released 2x3 and 2x2 rectangles persist.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the correct shape for the Level 4 area-6 clues?
Use r2c1-r3c3 for r2c2=6 and r4c3-r5c5 for r4c5=6. Both are 2x3 rectangles.
Where does the r3c4=4 clue go?
Place it in the upper-right 2x2 r2c4-r3c5, after the lower-right 6 has taken r4c3-r5c5.
