LinkedIn Queens Answer #755
A close look at LinkedIn Queens #755, released May 25, 2026: the 8×8 layout, the size of each region, the answer coordinates and the exact chain of logic that produces them.

Region data
Brown is the smallest region with 1 cell (queen on R8C1); Purple is the largest with 17 cells, and its queen sits on R1C6.

Before you start
8 steps take Queens #755 from an empty board to the answer, one queen each.
Each press of Next makes one deduction and redraws the board.

Queens #755 solution, step by step
Pick any step to see it on the board.
1. Queen on R8C1 Brown
The Brown region is just one cell wide and one cell tall. Put the queen on R8C1. That rules out 15 more cells across row 8, column 1, the rest of the color and the squares touching it.
2. Queen on R7C3 Yellow
The Yellow region is down to one open cell, so its queen goes on R7C3. Crossing out its row, column, color and neighbours removes 13 candidates.
3. Queen on R6C5 Red
Only R6C5 is still free inside the Red region. The queen goes there. After the usual cleanup (row 6, column 5, the touching squares and the rest of the color) 10 cells disappear.
4. Queen on R5C7 Gray
The Gray region has nowhere else to go: R5C7 is its last legal square. 8 cells drop out once you mark the row, column and the eight surrounding squares.
5. Queen on R4C4 Blue
Every other cell of the Blue region has been crossed out by now, which leaves R4C4 for its queen. That rules out 4 more cells across row 4, column 4, the rest of the color and the squares touching it.
6. Queen on R3C2 Green
The Green region is down to one open cell, so its queen goes on R3C2. Crossing out its row, column, color and neighbours removes 4 candidates.
7. Queen on R2C8 Orange
Only R2C8 is still free inside the Orange region. The queen goes there. After the usual cleanup (row 2, column 8, the touching squares and the rest of the color) 2 cells disappear.
8. Queen on R1C6 Purple
The Purple region is the only color still waiting, and R1C6 is its only open cell. Place the final queen there.
Result for #755: R1C6, R2C8, R3C2, R4C4, R5C7, R6C5, R7C3 and R8C1.

No Adjacent Queens

Solving Strategies
Pro tips to solve puzzles faster
Look for Isolated Regions
Regions that are separated from others often have unique solutions. Identify them early to gain an advantage.
Start with Corners
Look at corner regions first. They often have limited placement options, making them easier to solve and providing a good starting point.
Mark Conflicts
Use X marks to indicate where queens cannot be placed due to row, column, or diagonal conflicts. This visual aid helps narrow down options.
Process of Elimination
If a color region has only one available cell after considering all conflicts, place the queen there with confidence.
