Meowdoku
Overview Meowdoku
Meowdoku is a relaxing logic puzzle game, combining the strategy of Sudoku with the deduction of Minesweeper. You have to put cute cats on a grid following a very strict set of rules. Each colored area must contain only one cat. You cannot put two cats in the same row, column or adjacent space (not even diagonally). Meowdoku’s cute graphics, tranquil mood, and carefully crafted puzzles make for a delightful challenge for players of all abilities.
How to Play: Nail the Basics & Forms
The core objective is to correctly place one cat in every colored region on the board. To solve a puzzle, carefully analyze the available spaces and eliminate impossible positions based on the game's placement rules.
As you progress, you'll encounter larger and more complex boards that require deeper logical reasoning. Success comes from observing patterns, identifying constraints, and gradually narrowing down possible cat locations. Every move should be backed by logic rather than guessing.

Pro Tips for Clearing
- First look in areas with very few possible cat locations.
- Mark impossible spaces early to avoid confusion and clutter.
- But cats are off limits to touching, even diagonally.
- You can also use row and column constraints to remove multiple positions at once.
- If you get stuck, look over the entire board, not just one part of it.
- Work systematically not instinctively, placing cats.
