Meowdoku 2026-10-14 Answer: where all seven cats go
From left to right: row 1 to row 7, and the number is the column holding that row's cat.
Answer · Cat column per row
2 → 6 → 4 → 1 → 5 → 3 → 7
Solved board · cat cells are marked
Why this answer is the only one
Everything below is computed from this specific board — region sizes, cat positions, gaps between adjacent rows and the solver's enumeration result. It is not a generic guide reused across dates.
- This board has 49 cells in 7 regions, averaging 7.0 cells each. The smallest is Mint (3 cells) and the largest is Blush (11). Open with the smallest region, where the fewest cells are viable.
- The narrowest region is Mint, spanning just 1 columns (column 6 to 6). Once it takes one of those columns, every other region loses that column — the clearest opening on this board.
- The cat in row 1 sits in column 2 inside Peach; the cat in the last row is in column 7 inside Oat. Every cat needs its own row, column and region.
- The column gaps between consecutive rows are 4, 2, 3, 4, 2, 4, ranging from 2 to 4. Because diagonal contact is forbidden, adjacent rows must be at least 2 columns apart. Here 2 pairs are exactly 2 (rows 2/3, 5/6) — the points where the no-diagonal rule actually bites.
- The widest jump is between rows 1 and 2 (4 columns), and 3 cats land in the leftmost column of their own region. Reading column gaps together with region boundaries usually eliminates most candidates at once.
- Enumerating every arrangement under these constraints yields exactly 1 legal placement: the solution is unique, so pure deduction is enough and no guessing is needed. Full answer (cat column per row, 1-based): 2 → 6 → 4 → 1 → 5 → 3 → 7.
