Hint: how to open level 23
The first three logical moves on this board, in order. Stop reading after the first one if you only want a nudge.
- Only one cell is left in the Peach region, so the cat must go there. Cat at row 7, column 4.
- Every open cell of the Butter region lies in row 4. That cat will use row 4, so the other cells of row 4 can be crossed out. Cross out row 4, column 1; row 4, column 2; row 4, column 3; row 4, column 5 .
- Every open cell of the Sage region lies in row 1. That cat will use row 1, so the other cells of row 1 can be crossed out. Cross out row 1, column 1; row 1, column 2; row 1, column 3; row 1, column 5 .
