Colors in this level:
Purple, Blue, Pink, Yellow, Maroon, Green, Pale blue, Orange
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- The demonstrated upper trap is r1c6, which becomes a red X and costs one heart; use r1c5 instead.
- Do not interpret the white X cells generated after r6c7, r7c2, or r8c4 as failed placements; they are logical row, column, or adjacency exclusions.
Quick Tips for Zoodoku Level 20 (quick clues)
- Secure r6c7, r7c2, and r8c4 before choosing the blue roof at r1c5.
- Never substitute r1c6 for r1c5; the source visibly marks r1c6 red and consumes a heart.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- The 8x8 grid has a purple left region, blue roof strip, pink upper-right cells, a broad yellow center/right field, a maroon vertical pocket, green lower-left cells, a pale-blue lower pocket, and an orange single cell at r6c7.
- Goal
- Place eight cats with unique rows, columns, and non-touching neighborhoods; the lower scaffold r6c7/r7c2/r8c4 must be preserved before the upper blue target r1c5 and final broad-field placements.
- Opening
- The onboarding source opens with no seeded animals and no X marks. The first four successful placements are r6c7, r2c3, r7c2, and r8c4; a wrong r1c6 red X occurs before the correct r1c5 placement.
- Danger Zone
- The source's r1c6 attempt becomes a red X around 55 seconds and reduces the hearts from three to two. The correct blue-roof cell is r1c5; later white X marks are propagated exclusions, and the source completes with Good and the leaderboard.
- Mechanics
- This board uses a lower-left staircase beneath a blue roof and a broad yellow field on the right. It has one observed red correction but no opening anchor; cat species are theme art, not a matching rule.
