Hint: how to open level 30
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 Mint region, so the cat must go there. Cat at row 1, column 6.
- Every open cell of the Butter region lies in row 6. That cat will use row 6, so the other cells of row 6 can be crossed out. Cross out row 6, column 1; row 6, column 4; row 6, column 5; row 6, column 7 .
- Every open cell of row 7 lies in the Sage region. That cat will use the Sage region, so the other cells of the Sage region can be crossed out. Cross out row 3, column 7; row 4, column 7; row 5, column 7 .
