Quick Tips for Meowdoku Level 173 (spoiler-free)
- If row one, column four looks tempting, make sure row nine, column one is already fixed first.
- With 7 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 has no fixed starter cat. Cyan fills the roof and lower-right, purple owns the left wall, pink knots sit around the upper center, lime and green form a middle corridor, yellow stretches across the lower-middle, brown stacks on the upper-right, and one blocked orange square interrupts the far-left side on row five, column one.
- Goal
- Use the middle corridor on row two, column six and row four, column five to open the right side first, because the top-band square on row one, column four and the lower-left anchor on row nine, column one stay illegal until the corridor is complete.
- Opening
- Start with row two, column six, then extend into row three, column ten and row four, column five before the lower corners are touched.
- Danger Zone
- Row one, column four sits on a clean top band, but it is the final move and still shares diagonals with both lower exits until row nine, column one and row ten, column eight are already fixed.
- Mechanics
- Level 173 routes around a blocked orange square on row five, column one, which forces the left side to finish through row eight, column three and row nine, column one instead of straight down.
