Meowdoku Level 289 Walkthrough
Three forced singletons — gold r10c1, maroon r1c2, and purple r4c5 — give Level 289 a head start on its empty 10x10 grid. The danger is pink r7c10, which touches yellow r6c9 diagonally; pink must drop to r9c10 instead. Thread the center carefully: cyan r3c3 and pale blue r5c7 sit two rows and four columns apart, so they stay safe, leaving brown r2c6 for last.

Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- The empty 10x10 grid starts at 0/10 with no fixed cats or opening X marks. Cyan covers the upper-left, maroon is isolated at r1c2, brown fills the upper-right, yellow runs down the right, orange occupies the left-middle, purple and pale blue form small center pockets, dark green zigzags lower-center, pink fills the lower-right, and gold is isolated at r10c1.
- Goal
- Place one cat in every colored region while using each row and column once and preventing edge or corner contact.
- Opening
- The source demonstrates gold r10c1, maroon r1c2, purple r4c5, cyan r3c3, and pale blue r5c7 first; this is one valid sequence, not a required corner-first phase.
- Danger Zone
- Pink r7c10 is invalid because it touches yellow r6c9 diagonally. Use pink r9c10.
- Mechanics
- Ten corner, center, roof, and right-edge regions contribute one cat each to a complete non-touching row-and-column permutation.
Frequently Asked Questions
How are the cats in rows 5 and 6 kept from touching?
Pale-blue uses r5c7 and yellow uses r6c9. Their two-column gap prevents diagonal contact across adjacent rows.
How are the three lowest-row cats separated?
Dark-green uses r8c8, pink uses r9c10, and gold uses r10c1; each occupies a distinct column, and no pair touches.
