Logic recap

Why This Solves Level 166

The final placements (C1, F2, D3, H4, A5, G6, B7, E8) cover 8 rows and 8 columns exactly once. Each cat stays inside the 8x8 board and keeps the row, column, and no-touching rules intact.

Final check

  • Rows 1-8 each contain one cat.
  • Columns A-H each contain one cat.
  • No two final cats touch, including diagonally.
