Zoodoku Level 87 Walkthrough
Zoodoku Level 87 is a 9x9 seeded-penguin board with r8c2 already fixed; the source then uses r3c8, r1c5, r5c7, r6c9, r4c1, r7c4, and r9c6 while leaving red-error r7c7 behind.

How to Solve Zoodoku Level 87 — Full Solution

- Place the fourth penguin at r5c7 in the brown-to-teal handoff.
- Place the fifth penguin at r6c9 on the far-right edge.
- Place the sixth penguin at r4c1 on the left pink strip.
- Place the seventh penguin at r7c4 in the lower teal bridge.
- Finish at r9c6 and confirm the two-heart clear while r7c7 stays red.
Colors in this level:
Blue-gray, Green, Brown, Pink, Teal, Dark-magenta, Purple, Yellow
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Do not use r7c7. The source shows it as the red error square that costs one heart.
- Do not close the left pink side before the east lane is stable, or the late r6c9 and r9c6 finish becomes unsafe.
Quick Tips for Zoodoku Level 87 (quick clues)
- After seeded r8c2, lock r3c8 and r1c5 before you touch the left pink strip.
- Keep r7c7 dead so the close can use r7c4 and r9c6.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- The 9x9 board opens with seeded r8c2, an upper-left blue-gray block, a top singleton at r1c5, a brown east lane with a green pocket at r3c8, a pink west strip, a teal middle bridge, and dark-magenta plus purple cells in the southeast.
- Goal
- Take the right green pocket and the top singleton early, then preserve the lower teal bridge so the solve can close the east edge at r5c7 and r6c9 before the bottom finish at r9c6.
- Opening
- The first decoded frame already contains seeded r8c2. The first clear follow-ups are r3c8 on the right side and r1c5 on the top row before the route swings back to the middle.
- Danger Zone
- Cell r7c7 becomes a red error X and removes one heart. The successful solve leaves that square dead so r6c9 and r9c6 can remain legal.
- Mechanics
- This level combines one seeded penguin, a single-cell top anchor, a right-lane close, and a two-heart finish after a visible mistake.
