MeowBlock! Level 8 Walkthrough
MeowBlock! Level 8 is a Hard 7x6 board. Start with the r2c1-r2c3 area-3 strip, seal the r2c6-r6c6 area-5 edge and the r7c1-r7c6 area-6 bottom strip, then fit the r3c5=6 clue into r2c4-r4c5 instead of keeping its tempting horizontal preview.

How to Solve MeowBlock! Level 8 — Full Solution
- Place r2c1=3 in r2c1-r2c3, the three-cell row-2 strip.
- Place r2c6=5 in r2c6-r6c6, the five-cell right-edge column.
- Place r6c5=4 in r5c4-r6c5, the lower 2x2 block.
- Place r7c4=6 in r7c1-r7c6, the full-width bottom strip.
- Place r6c1=8 in r3c1-r6c2, a 4-by-2 area-8 block on the lower left.
- Place r3c5=6 in r2c4-r4c5, a 3-by-2 area-6 block.
- Place r6c3=4 in r3c3-r6c3, the vertical area-4 bar between the two larger regions.
- Place r1c1=2 in r1c1-r1c2, the two-cell top-left pair.
- Place r1c6=4 in r1c3-r1c6, the remaining four-cell top strip.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Keeping the row-3 preview r3c1-r3c6 for r3c5=6 removes the upper edge of both the r6c1=8 block and the r6c3=4 bar.
- Shortening the r7c4=6 strip leaves a bottom corner uncovered because the final area-6 region must be r7c1-r7c6.
- Using column 6 for another clue before r2c6=5 is fixed breaks the five-cell right-edge corridor.
Quick Tips for MeowBlock! Level 8 (spoiler-free)
- Protect the left 2x4 stack and full-width bottom strip before placing the large middle 6.
- The r3c5=6 clue belongs to r2c4-r4c5, not to the tempting one-row strip.
- Finish the top pair and top four only after the lower bars have fixed their boundaries.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- The 7x6 board contains clues r1c1=2, r1c6=4, r2c1=3, r2c6=5, r3c5=6, r6c1=8, r6c3=4, r6c5=4, and r7c4=6.
- Goal
- Partition all 42 cells into nine non-overlapping rectangles: r1c1-r1c2, r1c3-r1c6, r2c1-r2c3, r2c6-r6c6, r2c4-r4c5, r3c1-r6c2, r3c3-r6c3, r5c4-r6c5, and r7c1-r7c6.
- Opening
- The source briefly previews r3c5=6 as the area-correct row r3c1-r3c6, then settles the lower route as r2c1-r2c3, r2c6-r6c6, r5c4-r6c5, and r7c1-r7c6.
- Danger Zone
- Do not commit r3c1-r3c6 for r3c5=6. That row-sized six consumes the cells required by the area-8 block r3c1-r6c2 and the area-4 bar r3c3-r6c3. Keep r7c1-r7c6 intact for the bottom area-6 clue.
- Mechanics
- The Hard-level video redraws a legal-looking six-cell preview. The final r3c5=6 region is the 3x2 block r2c4-r4c5, and the persistent solved state is the authority for its bounds.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the correct shape for the r3c5=6 clue in Level 8?
Use the 3x2 rectangle r2c4-r4c5. It covers six cells while leaving the r2c6-r6c6 edge, the r3c1-r6c2 area-8 block, and the r3c3-r6c3 bar available.
How do you solve the bottom of MeowBlock! Level 8?
Place r6c5=4 in r5c4-r6c5, then place r7c4=6 across r7c1-r7c6. Those two regions establish the lower boundary for the tall left block and the column-3 four.
