🧩 Level Info

• Level Number: 183
• Puzzle Description: Tap the cat that swipes the word "tree"
• Difficulty: Intermediate

🎯 Objective

Swipe the word “tree” in the puzzle description to reveal the cat swiping the tree, and tap that cat.

📝 Step-by-Step Solution

1. Observe the screen closely and notice the Kanji ‘木’ (tree) in the prompt “Tap the cat that swipes the word ‘tree’.”
2. Ignore the cats and objects on the field for the moment, and focus on the ‘木’ character in the problem text.
3. Place your finger on the ‘木’ character in the puzzle description and perform a swiping (dragging) motion to either side.
4. Swiping the ‘木’ character will cause a cat swiping the ‘tree’ (or a cat moving its paws near the word) to appear and start animating.
5. Once you clearly see the cat swiping the tree, tap that cat once.
6. If you tap the right cat, you will clear the stage.

💡 Hints

• Read the puzzle description carefully. Where is the "tree"?
• Focus on the “word” ‘tree’, not the drawings of trees on the field.
• The ‘tree’ character is what you need to “swipe”. Try tracing it with your finger.
• You clear the stage by tapping the cat that appears after swiping the ‘tree’.

🧠 Explanation & Key Points

This stage can mislead players to search for a "cat near a tree" or a "cat touching a tree" by taking the prompt “Tap the cat that swipes the word ‘tree’” literally. However, it’s actually a wordplay or meta puzzle that requires players to interact with the ‘tree’ “word” itself. Many players tend to search only the illustrations (trees and cats) on-screen, taking some time to realize they can swipe the problem description text. The mechanics require swiping the text to reveal the cat swiping the tree, demanding the “texts as game elements” mindset typical of Brain Test challenges.

🔍 Common Mistakes

• Randomly tapping all the regular cats depicted on the screen.
• Swiping the illustration of a tree (or a tree-like object) instead.
• Simply tapping the ‘tree’ in the prompt without performing the swipe action.
• Swiping characters other than ‘tree’ (e.g., cat, tap), resulting in nothing happening.
• Failing to notice the cat appearing or moving, and continuing to swipe/tap the wrong area.

🎉 Post-Clear Advice

Once you realize the text itself may be part of the puzzle, you'll develop a habit of closely examining text in future levels. Approach subsequent stages with skepticism, questioning the entire screen.
