Queens #752 solution, step by step

Pick any step to see it on the board.

  1. Queen on R9C1 Green

    1. Look along row 9: the only candidates left are Green. Since the line needs a queen, Green cells elsewhere (R1C1, R2C1, R2C2, R3C1, R4C1, R4C2, R5C1, R5C2, R5C3, R6C1, R7C1, R7C5, R8C1, R8C2, R8C4, R8C5 and R8C6) can be crossed out.

    2. Column 1 has exactly one open square left, R9C1, and it belongs to the Green region. That is where the queen goes. 8 cells drop out once you mark the row, column and the eight surrounding squares.

  2. Queen on R4C5 Gray

    1. Row 1 can only be filled by the Purple region. That pins the Purple queen to this line and removes R2C4, R2C5, R2C6, R2C8, R2C9, R3C5, R3C9, R4C9 and R5C9.

    2. The open squares of rows 2 and 3 all belong to Blue and Teal. Both queens of those colors are therefore used up here, which removes R4C3, R4C4, R4C6, R4C7 and R4C8.

    3. Row 4 has exactly one open square left, R4C5, and it belongs to the Gray region. That is where the queen goes. After the usual cleanup (row 4, column 5, the touching squares and the rest of the color) 7 cells disappear.

  3. Queen on R1C9 Purple

    1. Row 5 can only be filled by the Yellow region. That pins the Yellow queen to this line and removes R6C8, R6C9, R7C9, R8C8 and R8C9.

    2. Column 9 still needs a queen and R1C9 is the only candidate, which settles the Purple region as well. That rules out 6 more cells across row 1, column 9, the rest of the color and the squares touching it.

  4. Queen on R8C3 Orange

    1. Every open cell in column 4 is Red. That line still needs a queen, so it must be the Red queen, and the rest of the Red region is out: R6C2 and R6C3.

    2. Column 6 can only be filled by the Brown region. That pins the Brown queen to this line and removes R6C7, R7C7, R7C8 and R8C7.

    3. Row 8 still needs a queen and R8C3 is the only candidate, which settles the Orange region as well. 5 cells drop out once you mark the row, column and the eight surrounding squares.

  5. Queen on R3C2 Blue

    1. The Blue region has nowhere else to go: R3C2 is its last legal square. 2 cells drop out once you mark the row, column and the eight surrounding squares.

  6. Queen on R2C7 Teal

    1. Every other cell of the Teal region has been crossed out by now, which leaves R2C7 for its queen. That rules out 1 more cell across row 2, column 7, the rest of the color and the squares touching it.

  7. Queen on R5C8 Yellow

    1. The Yellow region is down to one open cell, so its queen goes on R5C8. Nothing new is crossed out, since its neighbours were already blocked.

  8. Queen on R6C4 Red

    1. Only R6C4 is still free inside the Red region. The queen goes there. After the usual cleanup (row 6, column 4, the touching squares and the rest of the color) 1 cell disappears.

  9. Queen on R7C6 Brown

    1. The Brown region is the only color still waiting, and R7C6 is its only open cell. Place the final queen there.

All 9 boxes ticked: R1C9, R2C7, R3C2, R4C5, R5C8, R6C4, R7C6, R8C3 and R9C1.

Final board

Orange is the smallest region with 3 cells (queen on R8C3); Green is the largest with 26 cells, and its queen sits on R9C1.

Game Rules

Master these rules to solve any Queens puzzle

  • One Queen Per Color

    Each colored region must contain exactly one queen.

  • No Attacks

    Queens cannot attack each other horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.

  • No Adjacent Queens

    Queens cannot touch each other, even diagonally.

Solving Strategies

Pro tips to solve puzzles faster

  • Process of Elimination

    If a color region has only one available cell after considering all conflicts, place the queen there with confidence.

  • Check Diagonals Carefully

    Diagonal attacks are easy to miss. Always check all 8 surrounding cells when placing a queen to ensure no conflicts.

  • Work Row by Row

    Focus on completing one row at a time. This systematic approach reduces mistakes and makes the puzzle more manageable.

  • Look for Isolated Regions

    Regions that are separated from others often have unique solutions. Identify them early to gain an advantage.
