Meowdoku Rules

A detailed Meowdoku rules reference covering colored rooms, row and column limits, diagonal contact, marks, hearts, and assist mode.

Quick answer

One cat per colored room. One cat per row and column. No touching, even diagonally.

Meowdoku is a quick cat logic puzzle with clear rules, friendly visuals, and enough deduction depth for players who enjoy Sudoku, Queens, Star Battle, and daily puzzle games.

Puzzle essentials

  • One cat per colored room.
  • One cat per row and column.
  • No touching, even diagonally.

Colored Room Rule

Each colored region needs one cat. A room can be any shape, so the best clues often come from odd corners and narrow corridors.

Row Rule

A completed row contains one cat. Once a cat sits in a row, every other cell in that row is no longer available for cats.

Column Rule

A completed column contains one cat. Columns combine with room boundaries to create strong locks and forced placements.

Neighbor Rule

Cats cannot be neighbors, including diagonally. In Meowdoku, diagonal contact is just as illegal as side-by-side contact.

Hearts and Mistakes

Hearts are feedback, not the puzzle engine. The logic remains the same: place carefully, learn from the blocked cell, and keep the board clean.
