Why This Solves Level 171

The final placements (F1, H2, E3, G4, C5, A6, D7, B8) 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.
