Meowdoku Level 73 Walkthrough

hard 8 colors

The fixed brown cat on row one, column four starts Meowdoku Level 73 from the top spine, and the whole 10x10 board then falls in a staircase through row two, column six, row three, column eight, and row four, column five. The lower half only finishes after row six, column nine and row eight, column ten are pinned, leaving the last purple and green cats on rows nine and ten.

Board Notes

Layout: This 10x10 board uses a yellow upper-left edge, a green left ladder, a brown vertical spine, a pink upper pocket, a cyan middle lane, a blue upper-right window, an orange right-half floor, a green lower-left shelf, a purple bottom-left strip, and a pink lower-right side. The opening already fixes the top brown cat on row one, column four while the rest of the board cascades beneath it.
Goal: The puzzle turns when the staircase reaches row four, column five and row five, column seven. Before those two cats are placed, the orange right side and the pink lower-right strip both keep competing for the same endings.
Opening: Keep the starter cat on row one, column four, then continue the top-right staircase with row two, column six and row three, column eight. That descending chain is what makes the cyan middle and the orange lower-right placements forced.
Danger Zone: The lower-right pink side looks narrow enough to solve early, but row eight, column ten is still illegal until row six, column nine and row seven, column two are already fixed.
Mechanics: Level 73 is a descending staircase board where each correct row hands the next row to the region directly below it.
