Hint: how to open level 36
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 5.
- Every open cell of the Sand 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 2; row 6, column 3; row 6, column 4; row 6, column 8 .
- Every open cell of the Sky region lies in column 7. That cat will use column 7, so the other cells of column 7 can be crossed out. Cross out row 4, column 7; row 5, column 7; row 6, column 7; row 7, column 7; row 8, column 7 .
