MooDoku

One cow per color, row and column. Star Battle-style logic.

Puzzle · Logic · Plays offline

MooDoku is a Star Battle logic puzzle, the same family as the popular queens puzzles: a square board is split into colored regions, and you place exactly one cow in every row, every column and every color region. Cows can never touch, not even diagonally.

How to play MooDoku

  1. Tap a cell to mark it with an X when you know a cow can't go there.
  2. Place a cow where one must go.
  3. Fill every row, column and color region with exactly one cow.

Rules

  • Exactly one cow in each row, each column and each color region.
  • No two cows may touch, including diagonally.
  • A wrong cow costs a heart; lose all three and the level restarts.
  • X marks are only notes and never count against you.

Tips to get better

  • Start with the smallest color region: it has the fewest places for its cow.
  • Once a cow is placed, mark its whole row, column and the eight cells around it with X.
  • If a region sits entirely inside one row or column, no other region's cow can use that row or column.
  • Avoid guessing: a wrong cow costs a heart, so place one only when the logic forces it.
  • These techniques work for any Star Battle or Queens-style puzzle.
