MeowBlock! Level 45 Walkthrough
Solve MeowBlock! Level 45 by preserving the top and middle 5/7 bars, separating the c8 wall, and fitting the lower 6/5/3/6/3/2 lanes into the final 72-cell cover.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Do not shorten r1c3=5 to r1c1:r1c4; the persistent top bar is r1c1:r1c5.
- Do not use r6c1:r7c3 for r6c2=6; it captures the separate r7c3=4 lane.
- Do not merge the r7c8:r9c8 area-3 wall with the adjacent r8c5:r9c7 area-6 block.
Quick Tips for MeowBlock! Level 45 (spoiler-free)
- Keep the two area-7 bars at r2c1:r2c7 and r5c1:r5c7; they are separate rows.
- Reserve r6c3:r9c3 and r7c4:r9c4 before placing the lower 2x3 block.
- Treat r7c8:r9c8 as a separate c8 wall beside the area-6 block r8c5:r9c7.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- 9 rows by 8 columns, 72 cells. Clues: r1c3=5, r1c6=2, r1c8=2, r2c3=7, r3c3=5, r4c1=2, r4c4=3, r4c6=4, r4c8=3, r5c4=7, r6c2=6, r6c5=5, r7c3=4, r7c6=3, r8c4=3, r8c7=6, r8c8=3, and r9c2=2. No unknown clues appear.
- Goal
- Partition all 72 cells into eighteen rectangles in the source's observed lower-to-upper order: r9c2=2 at r9c1:r9c2 (area 2); r8c8=3 at r7c8:r9c8 (area 3); r8c7=6 at r8c5:r9c7 (area 6); r7c3=4 at r6c3:r9c3 (area 4); r8c4=3 at r7c4:r9c4 (area 3); r6c2=6 at r6c1:r8c2 (area 6); r4c1=2 at r4c1:r4c2 (area 2); r5c4=7 at r5c1:r5c7 (area 7); r3c3=5 at r3c1:r3c5 (area 5); r4c4=3 at r4c3:r4c5 (area 3); r6c5=5 at r6c4:r6c8 (area 5); r7c6=3 at r7c5:r7c7 (area 3); r4c6=4 at r3c6:r4c7 (area 4); r2c3=7 at r2c1:r2c7 (area 7); r4c8=3 at r3c8:r5c8 (area 3); r1c8=2 at r1c8:r2c8 (area 2); r1c6=2 at r1c6:r1c7 (area 2); and r1c3=5 at r1c1:r1c5 (area 5).
- Opening
- The video first commits the lower-left pair and the lower 6/5/3/6/3 cluster, then builds the central and upper horizontal bands. The c8 area-3 wall and top 2/5/2 row close the remaining spaces. Several early bars are redrawn before this 18-region state persists.
- Danger Zone
- Do not shorten the top r1c3=5 bar to r1c1:r1c4; it strands the r1c6=2 and r1c8=2 cells. In the lower half, do not move r6c2=6 into the tempting 2x3 r6c1:r7c3 preview, because that captures r7c3=4 and breaks the vertical r6c3:r9c3 lane.
- Mechanics
- All eighteen fixed integers are rectangle areas summing to 72. The board alternates long horizontal bands with narrow vertical lanes, and the final colored grid persists before the Perfect transition, confirming the exact top-bar lengths and lower boundaries.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where does the top area-5 clue go?
It fills the five-cell bar r1c1:r1c5, leaving the top 2-cell regions at c6:c7 and c8.
What separates the lower-right cells?
The area-6 block is r8c5:r9c7, while the separate area-3 wall is r7c8:r9c8.
How many rectangles solve Level 45?
Eighteen persistent rectangles cover all 72 cells in the 9x8 solution.
