Meowdoku Level 90 Walkthrough

hard 8 colors

Meowdoku Level 90 clears by walking a diagonal from the fixed left-side cats toward the lower-right slab. Row five, column seven opens the center, row one, column two and row two, column six stabilize the top, and the brown-blue middle then gives row six, column four and row eight, column five before the last right-edge pair closes on row seven, column eight and row nine, column nine.

Board Notes

Layout: This 9x9 board uses a magenta left edge, a dark-green staircase in the upper-left, a cyan top band, a pale-green middle lane, a blue center-right strip, a yellow vertical pocket, a brown lower-left base, and a violet lower-right slab. The opening already fixes cats on row three, column one and row four, column three.
Goal: The board opens through the long diagonal from the upper-left staircase to the lower-right slab. Row five, column seven, row one, column two, and row two, column six must settle before the last two right-side placements on row seven, column eight and row nine, column nine stop touching the center.
Opening: Leave the fixed cats on row three, column one and row four, column three, then place the yellow middle cat on row five, column seven. After that, the dark-green top-left staircase can safely take row one, column two and the cyan band can claim row two, column six.
Danger Zone: The violet slab looks isolated, but row seven, column eight is still wrong until the center has already chosen row six, column four and the brown lower strip has accepted row eight, column five.
Mechanics: Level 90 is a diagonal sweep board that keeps stepping one region lower and one region farther right until the final violet side becomes forced.

Quick Tips for Meowdoku Level 90 (spoiler-free)

When two fixed cats start on the same left-side diagonal, follow that diagonal across the board before you touch the far-right slab.
