What is the bottleneck in Meowdoku Level 78?

The bottleneck is the center scaffold through row four, column five and row six, column seven. Once that route is stable, the top crown and lower-right finish no longer conflict.

Meowdoku Level 78 Walkthrough

hard 7 colors

Meowdoku Level 78 only looks like a pale-blue 10x10 blanket at first. The actual route starts on the top crown with row one, column three and row two, column six, then drops through row four, column five and row six, column seven before the lower-right side can finish at row eight, column nine and row ten, column four.

Board Notes

Layout: This 10x10 board uses a pale-blue blanket, a cyan upper lane, a green center scaffold, a yellow top-right crown, a pink center-left strip, an orange lower floor, and a purple left wall. The big pale-blue background touches nearly every region, but the narrow center scaffold is what really controls the board.
Goal: The board unlocks once the top side claims row one, column three and the center scaffold takes row four, column five. Until those two placements land, the yellow crown and the orange lower floor keep inheriting the same bad diagonals from the pale-blue blanket.
Opening: Start the top chain with row one, column three, row two, column six, and row three, column eight before you chase the lower-left wall. That upper route is what makes the lower-right finish deterministic.
Danger Zone: The right half looks broad and safe once the crown starts to form, but row five, column ten still fails until row six, column seven and row eight, column nine are already pinned.
Mechanics: Level 78 is a scaffold board where the narrow center route matters much more than the surrounding pale-blue filler.
