Star Battle style
One piece per row, column, and region
Star Battle puzzles are built around a simple idea: place pieces on a grid so every row, column, and outlined region has the required number of pieces, while pieces do not touch each other.
Meowdoku follows the same family of logic. The board uses colored regions instead of outlined cages, and each row, column, and region needs exactly one cat.
Queens connection
A friendly one-star variant
If you know LinkedIn Queens, the rules will feel familiar: one piece per row, one per column, one per color region, and no touching horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.
The cat theme does not change the logic. It makes the board easier to read at a glance and gives each playable puzzle page a lighter feel for quick daily solving.
Solving tips
Start with regions, then scan lines
Begin by checking the smallest colored regions. If all remaining cells in a region sit in one row or column, that line cannot contain another cat outside the region.
After every confirmed cat, eliminate the rest of its row, column, region, and neighboring cells. This turns many boards into a chain of forced placements rather than a guessing game.
