Meowdoku Level 96 Walkthrough

hard 7 colors

Meowdoku Level 96 splits the board into a top band and a lower cyan field. Row two, column three and row three, column six open the upper half, row one, column five locks the pink band, and only then do row four, column eight, row six, column four, row five, column one, and row eight, column seven finish the board.

Board Notes

Layout: This 8x8 board uses a cyan left field, a yellow two-cell ladder, a pink upper band, a purple center-right block, an orange top-right wing, a green lower-middle strip, and a pale-blue lower-right pool. The opening already fixes a cat on row seven, column two.
Goal: The solve works by splitting the upper half from the lower cyan sea. Row two, column three and row three, column six settle first, then the top band can safely take row one, column five before the right edge and lower field finish.
Opening: Keep the fixed cat on row seven, column two, then place the yellow-ladder cat on row two, column three before the purple-side cat on row three, column six. That pair is what makes the pink band and orange wing readable.
Danger Zone: Row four, column eight looks like simple edge cleanup, but it still touches the pink top band until row one, column five has already been fixed.
Mechanics: Level 96 is a split-sea board where the big cyan field only becomes readable after the yellow and purple pockets divide the board.

Quick Tips for Meowdoku Level 96 (spoiler-free)

When one color floods half the board, look for the small pockets that divide it instead of solving the flood first.
With 7 colors in play, clear the pair with the fewest blockers first so the board opens up instead of tightening.
Think in chain clears. The best move is the one that sets up the next two moves, not just the quickest current match.
