MeowBlock! Level 7 Walkthrough
MeowBlock! Level 7 is a 6x5 board solved from the bottom edge upward. Close r6c1-r6c3 and r6c4-r6c5 first, build the middle 2x2 and vertical pair, then reserve the forced r1c3-r3c5 area-9 block for the finish.
How to Solve MeowBlock! Level 7 — Full Solution
- Place r6c1=3 in r6c1-r6c3, a horizontal area-3 strip along the bottom-left.
- Place r6c5=2 in r6c4-r6c5, the remaining bottom-row pair.
- Place r5c1=4 in r4c1-r5c2, a 2x2 area-4 block in the lower-left middle.
- Place r4c3=2 in r4c3-r5c3, the vertical area-2 pair beside that block.
- Place r4c4=4 in r4c4-r5c5, the middle-right 2x2 block.
- Place r3c1=3 in r1c1-r3c1, the upper-left vertical area-3 strip.
- Place r2c2=3 in r1c2-r3c2, the adjacent upper area-3 strip.
- Place r1c3=9 in r1c3-r3c5, the final 3-by-3 area-9 block.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Extending r2c2=3 down through r4c2 consumes the corner cell required by the r5c1=4 rectangle and leaves the middle row impossible to tile.
- Stopping r6c1=3 at r6c2 leaves r6c3 stranded between the bottom pair and the 2x2 middle block.
- Breaking up r1c3-r3c5 before the final move makes the 9 clue impossible because no other 9-cell rectangle fits the remaining top area.
Quick Tips for MeowBlock! Level 7 (spoiler-free)
- Seal both bottom-edge clues before filling the upper rows.
- Keep the complete 3x3 area around r1c3 open for the 9 clue.
- Use exact bounds: the middle area-4 clue is a 2x2 block, not a long row.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- The board is 6 rows by 5 columns with clues r1c3=9, r2c2=3, r3c1=3, r4c3=2, r4c4=4, r5c1=4, r6c1=3, and r6c5=2.
- Goal
- Partition all 30 cells into eight non-overlapping rectangles. The lower edge is r6c1-r6c3 for area 3 and r6c4-r6c5 for area 2; the upper-right clue r1c3=9 must eventually own the 3x3 block r1c3-r3c5.
- Opening
- Follow the source bottom-up: place r6c1=3 at r6c1-r6c3, r6c5=2 at r6c4-r6c5, r5c1=4 at r4c1-r5c2, r4c3=2 at r4c3-r5c3, and r4c4=4 at r4c4-r5c5.
- Danger Zone
- Do not use r2c2-r4c2 for the area-3 clue at r2c2, because it removes a cell from the r5c1=4 block at r4c1-r5c2. Do not shorten the r6c1=3 strip either; r6c1-r6c3 is the only bottom placement that leaves the r6c5 pair intact.
- Mechanics
- The board's decisive pattern is a bottom-up lock followed by a forced 3x3 area-9 finish. The final state confirms the two upper area-3 clues as vertical strips r1c1-r3c1 and r1c2-r3c2.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the first move for MeowBlock! Level 7?
Start with the bottom-left area-3 strip from r6c1 to r6c3, then place the area-2 pair from r6c4 to r6c5. The lower edge becomes a fixed five-cell boundary for the rest of the solve.
How do you place the 9 clue in Level 7?
Leave rows 1-3 and columns 3-5 open, then draw the 3x3 rectangle r1c3-r3c5. Its nine cells exactly match the r1c3 clue and finish the board after the two area-3 columns are set.
