Quick Tips for Meowdoku Level 172 (spoiler-free)

  • If row seven, column one still looks playable early, check whether row ten, column eight is already fixed.
  • With 8 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
This 10x10 board starts with a fixed cat on row one, column three. Teal and pale-blue lanes cover the upper-left, dark blue runs down the left-middle, yellow pushes through the center-right, purple caps the upper-right, brown holds the far-right stack, pink bends through the lower-left, and green closes the bottom-right.
Goal
Use the upper anchors on row two, column nine and row three, column four to open row four, column two and row five, column six, because row seven, column one stays blocked until the entire lower chain is already complete.
Opening
Keep the fixed cat on row one, column three, then place row two, column nine before row three, column four and row four, column two settle the left half.
Danger Zone
Row seven, column one looks like a spare blue leftover, but it is the final move and stays illegal until row eight, column seven, row nine, column five, and row ten, column eight are already fixed.
Mechanics
Level 172 solves the right half and lower center before coming back for the last left-column cat on row seven, column one.
