Games like Meowdoku: Napdoku and other no-guess logic puzzles

Meowdoku made a classic grid puzzle popular: one piece in every row, column and colored region, and no two pieces touching. The same idea is called Queens on LinkedIn and Star Battle among puzzle fans. Napdoku is a cozy take on it with sleepy felt critters.

Meowdoku facts from its Google Play page and its game rules, October 2026.

Why Napdoku

You play at your own pace: a mistake costs one tap of Undo, not a life. Hints explain the logic instead of giving the answer, and 150 levels grow from 5×5 to 9×9.

For Queens and Star Battle players

LinkedIn Queens puts one queen in each row, column and colored region with no two touching, which is exactly the Napdoku rule set. Star Battle is the classic name of the puzzle, and one-star boards play the same way.

For Sudoku fans

If you like Sudoku but want a break from numbers, Napdoku keeps the one-per-row-and-column feeling and swaps digits for colored patches and sleepy critters.

Other doku puzzles

Doku games with cats, dogs and capybaras all build on the same grid logic. Napdoku stands out with felt critters, a quilt that changes with the seasons and a lullaby when everyone is asleep.
