Board after step 9
Trickiest move in MeowBlock Level 173
The 12-cell block at the lower-left area occupies rows 6-8 and columns 1-4. Its finished shape is 3x4; swapping that width and height would cross one of the boundaries shown in the corresponding step image.
Use the screenshot for that step as the exact checkpoint. Confirm the block matches the shown boundary, remains rectangular, and does not absorb another numbered cell before moving to the next placement.
Common mistakes
- Do not count a dragged block as finished until it settles and its cat head appears.
- Keep the 12-cell block at the lower-left area within its exact 3x4 boundary.
- Do not copy colors alone. Match the occupied rows and columns shown in each step image.
- If a later rectangle no longer fits, undo the first placement whose boundary differs from the walkthrough screenshot.
Final check
The final move fills rows 4-5 and columns 1-4 with a 2x4 rectangle matching the completed answer. After it settles, all 72 playable cells are covered exactly once and every block matches the completed answer image.
