Meowdoku Level 26 Walkthrough

medium 4 colors

Meowdoku Level 26 is a center-lane squeeze between a purple top band, a brown left wall, and a pink right wall. The middle green strip must breathe before the side walls fully close, or the last bottom-row lanes deadlock.

Board Notes

Layout: The board uses a purple top shelf, a brown left wall, a green center lane, and a pink right wall. The clip already shows several anchors in place before the bottom rows tighten.
Goal: The center green lane is the true bottleneck. Once it is secured, the left wall and right wall stop sharing the same safe lower rows.
Opening: Preserve the visible anchors, then settle the lower-right pink side before you finish the brown wall. The first forcing move is the upper-left purple cat that locks the top shelf without blocking the green lane.
Danger Zone: The brown wall looks narrow enough to solve immediately, but it still leans on the center lane diagonally. Closing brown too early can strand the middle cat.
Mechanics: Level 26 is another wall-versus-lane puzzle, but here the lane must be solved first for the walls to inherit clean leftovers.

Quick Tips for Meowdoku Level 26 (spoiler-free)

If a thin center strip is squeezed by both side walls, solve the strip before you fully commit either wall.
With 4 colors in play, clear the pair with the fewest blockers first so the board opens up instead of tightening.
If the board feels stuck, look for the color with the cleanest path and use that to regain space.
