What Moonlit Alley asks of you
Only 9x9 and 10x10 boards from here, on three lives. The boards lean heavily on dead-end squares, one after another.
Crossing a square out never costs a life. Only a cat that breaks a rule does. Mark everything you can prove before you place a cat, and never place one on a hunch.
Techniques you will need
- Last free squareA row, column or patch is down to one square that can still hold a cat, so the cat goes there.Needed on 100% of Moonlit Alley boards, about 9.6 times per board.
- Patch in a lineEvery free square of a patch sits in one row or column, so that line belongs to the patch and the rest of it can be crossed out. It works the other way round too.Needed on 99% of Moonlit Alley boards, about 3.9 times per board.
- Dead-end squarePicture a cat on a square. If it would cross out every last spot in some row, column or patch, that square can never hold a cat.Needed on 100% of Moonlit Alley boards, about 16.4 times per board.
- Counting trickWhen two patches fit entirely inside the same two rows (or three inside three, and so on), those rows are theirs. Every other square in them can be crossed out.Needed on 100% of Moonlit Alley boards, about 2.5 times per board.
