Meowdoku Level 86 Walkthrough

hard 8 colors

Meowdoku Level 86 looks like a top-heavy pink and cyan board, but the solve actually opens from the bottom. Once row seven, column three and row eight, column six are fixed, the right rail and brown center separate cleanly, which leaves row three, column four and the last pink corner on row one, column one as forced finishes.

Board Notes

Layout: This 8x8 board uses a pink top canopy, a cyan upper-middle river, a lime strip on the left, a brown center block, a dark-green lower-right field, a violet island on row seven, and a magenta rail on the far right. The opening already fixes one cat in the yellow pocket at row two, column eight.
Goal: The board only releases after the lower half is split apart. Row seven, column three and row eight, column six unlock the center, and only then can the cyan middle take row three, column four before the last pink square settles on row one, column one.
Opening: Keep the starter cat on row two, column eight, then solve the violet island on row seven, column three before the dark-green lower field on row eight, column six. That bottom pair is what makes the right rail and lime side readable.
Danger Zone: Row five, column seven looks like easy edge cleanup, but the magenta rail still collides with the cyan middle until row eight, column six and row four, column two are already fixed.
Mechanics: Level 86 is a bottom-up release board where the final upper-left pink square only becomes legal after the lower islands and the brown center are settled.
