How to Solve Zoodoku Level 9 — Full Solution
- Keep the seeded orange cat at r7c1; the clean opening has no red error marks.
- Place the green singleton cat at r3c8.
- Place the pink territory cat at r8c3; do not use the failed r6c3 candidate.
- Place the blue territory cat at r4c4, then the brown territory cat at r5c2.
- Place the rose territory cat at r2c5 and the yellow territory cat at r1c7.
- Finish with the purple territory cat at r6c6, then wait for the completion rating and result card.
Colors in this level:
Brown, Rose, Yellow, Blue, Green, Purple, Pink, Orange
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Tapping pink r6c3 reproduces the source's red error X and costs one heart; the correct pink square is r8c3.
- Choosing brown r7c2 next to the seeded r7c1 cat violates the adjacency rule even though it is in the brown territory.
Quick Tips for Zoodoku Level 9 (quick clues)
- After taking green r3c8, skip the red-error pink candidate r6c3 and go directly to the demonstrated r8c3 landing.
- Keep brown r7c2 clear beside the seeded orange cat at r7c1.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- The 8x8 board contains brown r1c1-r1c2, r2c1, r3c1, r4c1, r5c1-r5c3, r6c1-r6c2, and r7c2; rose r1c3-r1c4, r2c2-r2c5, r3c3-r3c7, and r4c7-r4c8; yellow r1c5-r1c8 and r2c6-r2c8; blue r3c2, r4c2-r4c4, and r5c4; a green singleton at r3c8; purple r4c5-r4c6, r5c5-r5c8, r6c4-r6c8, r7c4-r7c8, and r8c4-r8c8; pink r6c3, r7c3, and r8c1-r8c3; and an orange singleton at r7c1.
- Goal
- Keep the seeded orange cat at r7c1, take the isolated green r3c8, and use r8c3 for the pink territory instead of the failed r6c3 candidate. The remaining safe route is r4c4, r5c2, r2c5, r1c7, then r6c6.
- Opening
- The clean opening contains the seeded orange cat at r7c1 and no X marks. The source first places r3c8, then briefly marks r6c3 red before correcting the pink region with r8c3; the later successful placements are r4c4, r5c2, r2c5, r1c7, and r6c6.
- Danger Zone
- The failed candidate is pink r6c3: it becomes a red error X and removes one heart before the source uses r8c3. Brown r7c2 is another tempting square, but it is adjacent to the seeded cat at r7c1.
- Mechanics
- This 8x8 level has a seeded orange singleton, an upper-right green singleton, a large purple lower-right territory, and one visible mistake. White X marks are logical exclusions; the red X at r6c3 is the only failed placement and the source completes with two hearts remaining.
