Meowdoku Level 89 Walkthrough

hard 6 colors

Meowdoku Level 89 bends from the top-left corner into the middle and then back into the lower-left shelf. The fixed cats on row two, column eight and row five, column seven help, but the real unlock is row three, column six, which makes row four, column four, row seven, column five, and the last lower-left pair on row six, column two and row eight, column three fall into place.

Board Notes

Layout: This 8x8 board uses a dark-green crown on the top row, a yellow upper-left corner, a pink upper-middle band, a cyan left-middle strip, a lime right-middle column, and an orange lower-left shelf. The opening already fixes cats on row two, column eight and row five, column seven.
Goal: The puzzle hinges on the broken center rather than the edges. Row three, column six and row four, column four separate the pink middle from the green crown, which is what finally makes the lower-left finish on row six, column two and row eight, column three legal.
Opening: Keep the fixed cats on row two, column eight and row five, column seven, then place the yellow corner cat on row one, column one. The next clean release is row three, column six on the green strip beside the blocked center.
Danger Zone: Row four, column four looks playable as soon as the center opens, but it still traps the lower-left orange shelf if row three, column six and row seven, column five have not already been fixed.
Mechanics: Level 89 is a short S-curve board where the solve turns from the top-left corner into the center and only then back into the lower-left shelf.

Quick Tips for Meowdoku Level 89 (spoiler-free)

When a board has a blocked middle square, solve the region that borders the block before you chase the lower corners.

Think in chain clears. The best move is the one that sets up the next two moves, not just the quickest current match.
