Hint: how to open level 33

The first three logical moves on this board, in order. Stop reading after the first one if you only want a nudge.

  1. Every open cell of the Mint region lies in column 8. That cat will use column 8, so the other cells of column 8 can be crossed out. Cross out row 1, column 8; row 4, column 8; row 5, column 8; row 6, column 8; row 7, column 8 and 1 more.
  2. Every open cell of the Sand region lies in column 3. That cat will use column 3, so the other cells of column 3 can be crossed out. Cross out row 1, column 3; row 2, column 3; row 3, column 3; row 4, column 3; row 7, column 3 and 1 more.
  3. Every open cell of column 7 lies in the Peach region. That cat will use the Peach region, so the other cells of the Peach region can be crossed out. Cross out row 1, column 4; row 2, column 4; row 2, column 5; row 3, column 4; row 3, column 5 and 8 more.
