Meowdoku

Meowdoku is a charming logic puzzle game that combines the strategic thinking of Sudoku with the deduction of logic grid puzzles. Instead of placing numbers, you'll position adorable cats across colorful boards while following a simple set of rules. Easy to learn yet increasingly challenging, Meowdoku offers more than 15,000 handcrafted puzzles that test your observation, reasoning, and problem-solving skills without relying on guesswork.

GAMEPLAY OF MEOWDOKU - SOLVE CLEVER CAT PUZZLES USING PURE LOGIC

Every Meowdoku puzzle is built around four straightforward rules that create surprisingly deep gameplay.

One Cat Per Row – Each horizontal row must contain exactly one cat.
One Cat Per Column – Each vertical column must also contain exactly one cat.
One Cat Per Color Region – Every uniquely shaped colored region can only contain one cat.
Cats Cannot Touch Diagonally – Cats may never be placed diagonally adjacent to one another, even if they belong to different rows, columns, or regions.

Although these rules are easy to understand, combining them creates increasingly complex puzzles that reward logical deduction.

Solve Every Board Through Deduction

Success in Meowdoku comes from analyzing the board rather than guessing. As you place cats, each move eliminates additional spaces from consideration, gradually revealing the correct solution.

Whenever you find a row, column, or colored region with only one possible position remaining, you've discovered a "forced cat." Identifying these guaranteed placements helps trigger chain reactions that make the rest of the puzzle easier to solve.

Use X Markers to Track Your Progress

After placing a cat, mark every impossible square in the same row, column, color region, and diagonal positions. Using X markers effectively keeps the board organized, prevents repeated checking of impossible moves, and allows you to focus entirely on solving the remaining logical possibilities.

Master Advanced Puzzle Strategies

As puzzle sizes increase, careful observation becomes even more important. Instead of focusing on individual squares, experienced players examine multiple rows, columns, and regions together to identify hidden relationships.

Recognizing locked regions, chain-reaction eliminations, and forced placements allows you to solve even the largest boards without relying on trial and error. Every puzzle has a logical solution waiting to be discovered.
