Nine Lives: Cat Sudoku Puzzle

Nine Lives is a cozy cat sudoku logic puzzle: the pure deduction of sudoku meets the careful reasoning of minesweeper, starring the cutest cats you've ever seen. 2,000 hand-verified levels, and every board has exactly one solution you can reach by logic alone.

Your mission is simple: every cat needs its own perfect spot, and cats, as you know, do not share.

🐱 Simple rules, deep logic
Every board is a grid split into colored regions. Three rules stand between you and victory:

- One cat per color region, that's their territory
- One cat per row and one per column
- Cats never touch, not even diagonally. Personal space is sacred!

Tap to place a cat, tap again to clear. Mark the impossible squares with an X and let pure deduction lead you to the one solution. No guessing, no luck.

🧠 Easy to learn, hard to master
Gentle 5x5 boards ease you in, then the puzzles grow into brain-bending 12x12 challenges that will test the sharpest sudoku veterans.

😼 Boss boards
Every 25 levels the board fights back. It hides its own tiles and takes your hints away. Three mistakes and it's over.

😻 Twin Cats
A second rule set unlocks as you progress: every row, every column and every color takes two cats instead of one. Twice the cats, twice the logic.

📅 A fresh daily puzzle
Wake your brain up with a Daily Puzzle every day. Keep your streak alive and beat your fastest solve times on the leaderboards.

👁️ Playable for every eye
Color symbols let every color region show its own symbol, so you can solve any board without telling colors apart. Made for players with color-vision differences, and handy for everyone else.
