Meowdoku
Meowdoku is a cat-themed logic puzzle available as a free web game and mobile app. It blends the row and column constraints of Sudoku with tactile colored regions and a unique "cats cannot touch" adjacency rule. Each puzzle presents a grid divided into colored areas, and players must place exactly one cat per row, column, and color block while ensuring no two cats touch diagonally. The game emphasizes pure deduction and guarantees every layout has exactly one logical solution with no guessing required. The Meowdoku website offers a browser-based experience for boards in four difficulties—Easy (5×5), Normal (7×7), Hard (9×9), and Extreme (10×10). Players can also track daily campaigns and streaks, and quick download links provide native iOS and Android apps. The site includes an AI solver (Meowdoku Solver) and a collection of tips and how-to-play guides to help players learn and master the puzzle. Meowdoku was created to fill a niche in the puzzle market for cat-themed and non-numeric logic games. Unlike traditional Sudoku, Meowdoku uses spatial adjacency rules that require scanning for contradiction and cascade deductions. It is designed for mobile play but adapts to desktop via the web, so it suits casual puzzle enthusiasts and dedicated logic-game fans alike. The development of the site and app is supported by donations, and the site itself is a fan-made guide independent from the original Oakever Games mobile title.
