Queens #756 solution, step by step

Pick any step to see it on the board.

  1. 1. Queen on R2C1 Purple

    1. All remaining cells of the Green region lie in row 1. Its queen will end up there no matter what, so the other colors lose those squares: R1C1, R1C2, R1C3, R1C7 and R1C8.

    2. Only R2C1 is still free inside the Purple region. The queen goes there. After the usual cleanup (row 2, column 1, the touching squares and the rest of the color) 14 cells disappear.

  2. 2. Queen on R3C8 Red

    1. The Red region has nowhere else to go: R3C8 is its last legal square. 11 cells drop out once you mark the row, column and the eight surrounding squares.

  3. 3. Queen on R4C6 Orange

    1. Every other cell of the Orange region has been crossed out by now, which leaves R4C6 for its queen. That rules out 11 more cells across row 4, column 6, the rest of the color and the squares touching it.

  4. 4. Queen on R5C2 Blue

    1. The Blue region is down to one open cell, so its queen goes on R5C2. Crossing out its row, column, color and neighbours removes 6 candidates.

  5. 5. Queen on R6C4 Gray

    1. Only R6C4 is still free inside the Gray region. The queen goes there. After the usual cleanup (row 6, column 4, the touching squares and the rest of the color) 7 cells disappear.

  6. 6. Queen on R1C5 Green

    1. The Green region has nowhere else to go: R1C5 is its last legal square. 1 cell drops out once you mark the row, column and the eight surrounding squares.

  7. 7. Queen on R7C7 Yellow

    1. Every other cell of the Yellow region has been crossed out by now, which leaves R7C7 for its queen. That rules out 1 more cell across row 7, column 7, the rest of the color and the squares touching it.

  8. 8. Queen on R8C3 Brown

    1. The Brown region is the only color still waiting, and R8C3 is its only open cell. Place the final queen there.

That completes Queens #756: R1C5, R2C1, R3C8, R4C6, R5C2, R6C4, R7C7 and R8C3.

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

  • 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.

  • Check Diagonals Carefully

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