Meowdoku Level 290 Walkthrough
Gold r1c9 is the lone forced singleton on this Hard 10x10 board. The brown column trap is the key danger: r2c4 looks like a natural brown spot, but column 4 already belongs to orange r4c4, so brown shifts one square left to r2c3. Similarly, pale blue r7c7 would repeat column 7 with pink r9c7, so pale blue lands at r7c8 instead.

Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- The empty board begins at 0/10 without fixed cats or opening X marks. Yellow borders the upper-left, brown fills the upper-right, gold is isolated at r1c9, orange and dark green interlock centrally, purple is a two-cell left pocket, light green covers the lower-left, pale blue fills the lower-right center, pink sits near the bottom, and maroon caps the bottom-right.
- Goal
- Place one cat in each colored region while using every row and column once and preventing edge or corner contact.
- Opening
- The source demonstrates maroon r10c10, pink r9c7, gold r1c9, and purple r5c2 first; this is one valid sequence rather than a required edge-anchor opening.
- Danger Zone
- Brown r2c4 is invalid because column 4 is already occupied by orange r4c4. Keep brown at r2c3.
- Mechanics
- Ten edge, upper, central, and lower regions contribute one cat each to a complete non-touching row-and-column permutation.
