Why is Meowdoku Level 25 harder than the levels before it?

Because the cyan center, brown wall, and pink lower band all overlap the same rows on an 8x8 board, so the middle has to be solved before the corners become safe.

Meowdoku Level 25 Walkthrough

hard 5 colors

Meowdoku Level 25 is an 8x8 middle-squeeze board. The upper-right anchor, cyan center, brown wall, and pink-magenta lower band all compete for the same rows, so the middle has to be solved before the bottom corners can close.

Board Notes

Layout: This 8x8 board has a pale-green top field, a cyan block through the left-center, a pink-magenta band across the lower middle, and a brown wall down the far right. The solve clip starts with an upper-right anchor already placed and the center quickly fills with crossing X marks.
Goal: The cyan left-center block and brown right wall form the actual squeeze. Once those are reduced, the lower pink band and bottom-left finish have only one remaining sequence.
Opening: Leave the upper-right anchor in place and solve the center field before the bottom band. The next key placements are the center cat on row three, column five, the left-middle cat on row five, column two, and the brown-wall cat on row five, column seven.
Danger Zone: The lower pink band feels like it should be the first cleanup area, but it is not safe until both the cyan block and the brown wall are reduced. If you jump into the band too early, the center rows stop having a legal separation.
Mechanics: Level 25 is the first board in this run where an 8x8 middle squeeze drives the whole solve. The center has to clear before the corners are trustworthy.
