MeowBlock! Level 5 Walkthrough
Level 5 resolves its 6x5 board with r1c4-r3c5, the right-edge 2s, and r6c2-r6c5 first; the left bars then force the final r1c2-r5c3 area-10.
How to Solve MeowBlock! Level 5 — Full Solution
- Anchor r3c5=6 and drag to the opposite corner r1c4, committing the 3x2 rectangle r1c4-r3c5 (area 6).
- Anchor r4c4=2 and drag right to r4c5, committing the 1x2 rectangle r4c4-r4c5 (area 2).
- Anchor r5c4=2 and drag right to r5c5, committing the 1x2 rectangle r5c4-r5c5 (area 2).
- Anchor r6c3=4 and drag across row 6 to r6c2-r6c5, committing the 1x4 bottom strip (area 4).
- Anchor r2c1=3 and drag up to r1c1, committing the 3x1 rectangle r1c1-r3c1 (area 3).
- Anchor r4c1=3 and drag down to r6c1, committing the 3x1 rectangle r4c1-r6c1 (area 3).
- Finish with r4c3=10 by dragging to the opposite corner r1c2-r5c3, committing the 5x2 central rectangle (area 10).
Colors in this level:
Lavender, Light green, Red, Pink, Orange, Yellow, Purple
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Do not extend the r4c3=10 rectangle down to row 6; it would include the r6c3=4 anchor and leave the bottom strip impossible.
- Do not merge or shift the right-side 6/2/2 stack; those exact bounds are what leave a clean 5x2 corridor for the final 10.
Quick Tips for MeowBlock! Level 5 (spoiler-free)
- Reserve row 6 for r6c3=4 before drawing the large central rectangle.
- Keep columns 4-5 separated into the 6, 2, and 2 regions shown by the final state.
- Commit both left 3-bars before drawing r1c2-r5c3; the 10 is the final 5x2 fill.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- The board is 6 rows by 5 columns with clues r2c1=3, r3c5=6, r4c1=3, r4c3=10, r4c4=2, r5c4=2, and r6c3=4. There are no ? clues.
- Goal
- Partition all 30 cells into seven non-overlapping rectangles: r1c4-r3c5 area 6, r4c4-r4c5 area 2, r5c4-r5c5 area 2, r6c2-r6c5 area 4, r1c1-r3c1 area 3, r4c1-r6c1 area 3, and r1c2-r5c3 area 10.
- Opening
- The accepted source order is r1c4-r3c5, r4c4-r4c5, r5c4-r5c5, r6c2-r6c5, r1c1-r3c1, r4c1-r6c1, then r1c2-r5c3.
- Danger Zone
- The central r4c3=10 rectangle is a final fill. Extending it into row 6 would consume the r6c3=4 anchor and destroy the bottom r6c2-r6c5 strip; the right-side 6/2/2 stack must stay fixed.
- Mechanics
- This is a standard 6x5 rectangular partition with a large area-10 region. The source exposes the right edge and bottom strip first, then commits the central 10 after the left bars are fixed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where should the large 10 clue go in MeowBlock! Level 5?
Use r1c2-r5c3, a 5x2 rectangle containing the r4c3=10 clue. Row 6 must remain available for the separate area-4 strip.
How is the right edge divided?
Use r1c4-r3c5 for the area-6 clue, r4c4-r4c5 for the first area-2, and r5c4-r5c5 for the second area-2.
