Meowdoku

About the game

Meowdoku is a cozy cat sudoku where every row, column and color region holds exactly one cat — and no two cats may touch, not even diagonally. Boards open with a locked starter cat, and Smart Marks Auto X flags every cell a placed cat blocks, so the elimination grid builds itself as you reason. Five boards keep it fresh: 6×6 Easy, 8×8 Normal, 10×10 Hard, a Daily Puzzle and Progressive Mode, each with its own timer, best time and solved counter.

Game features

• Every board enforces four rules at once: one cat per row, one per column, one per color region, and no two cats touching — not even diagonally
• Five ways to play: 6×6 Easy, 8×8 Normal, 10×10 Hard, a fresh Daily Puzzle and Progressive Mode
• Smart Marks Auto X automatically flags every cell a newly placed cat blocks, so eliminations appear the moment you commit a cat
• Add your own X marks with a long press or right click whenever you want eliminations noted by hand
• Undo, Hint and Restart sit beside the board, and the Hint points to one useful move rather than solving the board for you
• A timer, best-time record, solved counter and mistake tracker sit above the board, and named boards like Cozy Path give each grid a title
• Boards open with a locked starter cat already placed, and every cell carries a row, column and region label for screen readers

How to play

Choose a board size, then tap an empty cell to place a cat; tap it again to take it back. Every row, column and color region must end up with exactly one cat, and no two cats may touch, even diagonally. Auto X marks the cells each placed cat blocks, so the board prunes itself as you go — long press or right click to note your own X whenever you like. Locked starter cats anchor each grid, so the real work is deducing the remaining five or nine cats. When the board stalls, Undo steps back a move and Hint suggests a single cat without spoiling the rest. Finish with no rule broken and your time, best record and solved count update at once.

Tips & strategies

1. 1.Clear the smallest color regions first — a region with few cells pins a cat early and fences off rows and columns for the rest of the board
2. 2.Read Auto X like sudoku pencil marks: every blocked cell is information, and a row, column or region reduced to one open cell is a free cat
3. 3.Check diagonals on every single move — diagonal contact is the rule players miss most, and Auto X exists to catch exactly that mistake
4. 4.Scan rows and columns as a checklist before placing anywhere; the line that can take a cat in only one cell hands you a placement for free
5. 5.Stuck late in a board? Spend the Hint instead of guessing — one revealed cat re-floods Auto X and usually unsticks two regions at once
