Meowdoku Level 117 Walkthrough
Meowdoku Level 117 is a dense 9x9 board with no starter cat, where the smallest region does the work: purple owns only two squares in column 8, so locking it at row 8, column 8 forces orange to row 3, column 7 and frees the green corner at row 1, column 9. The rest reduces column by column until pale blue takes the last open square at row 4, column 3.

How to Solve Meowdoku Level 117 — Full Solution
- Place purple on row 8, column 8 (its region is only column 8, and row 9 is reserved for the pink strip).
- Orange is now forced to row 3, column 7, since column 8 is gone.
- Drop green into the top-right corner at row 1, column 9.
- Place gold in the top-left block at row 2, column 1.
- Put teal in the center at row 5, column 6.
- Place rose at row 6, column 2 — dark green blocks the rest of its strip.
- Place dark green at row 7, column 4.
- Place pink on the bottom strip at row 9, column 5.
- Finish with pale blue on the last open square, row 4, column 3.
Colors in this level:
Light green, Gold, Orange, Teal, Rose, Dark green, Pink, Purple, Pale blue
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Placing purple at row 9, column 8 — row 9 belongs to the pink strip, so purple must take row 8.
- Spending pale blue early because its region is huge; pale blue is actually the last cat, forced onto row 4, column 3.
Quick Tips for Meowdoku Level 117 (spoiler-free)
- When one color owns only two squares in a single column, solve it first; purple's column-8 lock collapses the whole right side here.
- With 9 colors in play, clear the pair with the fewest blockers first so the board opens up instead of tightening.
- Think in chain clears. The best move is the one that sets up the next two moves, not just the quickest current match.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- A 9x9 grid with no pre-placed cats. Light green wraps the whole top row and the full right column (column 9). Gold blocks the top-left (rows 2-4, columns 1-2), orange blocks the upper-right (rows 2-4, columns 7-8), and teal runs down the center (rows 2-7, columns 4-7). Rose covers row 6 columns 2-4 plus row 7 column 2, forest dark green fills the lower-left, magenta-pink covers row 8 column 4 and row 9 columns 3-6, and a two-cell purple region sits at row 8 column 8 and row 9 column 8. Periwinkle pale blue is the background.
- Goal
- One cat per color with no shared row, column, or diagonal touch. Purple's two-cell column-8 region is the opener that claims column 8 and starts the cascade.
- Opening
- Purple resolves to row 8, column 8. Orange then loses column 8 and is forced to row 3, column 7. The big green region drops its cat into the top-right corner at row 1, column 9.
- Danger Zone
- Rose looks free across row 6 (columns 2-4), but dark green at row 7, column 4 blocks column 4 and diagonally blocks row 6 column 3, while row 7 column 2 collides with dark green's row. Rose is therefore forced onto row 6, column 2.
- Mechanics
- A tiny two-cell purple region in column 8 is the key. Locking it cascades through orange and the right edge, and the oversized pale-blue background is the very last color to settle.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where do you start in Meowdoku Level 117?
Start with purple. It only owns row 8 column 8 and row 9 column 8, both in column 8, so placing it at row 8, column 8 claims the column and forces the orange and green placements.
Why is orange forced in Level 117?
The orange block uses columns 7-8 in rows 2-4. Once purple takes column 8, the only orange square left is row 3, column 7.
What is the last cat in Level 117?
Pale blue. After the other eight colors lock their rows and columns, the only open square is row 4, column 3.
