Where each color's queen goes

Each color gets exactly one queen. Rows are counted from the top and columns from the left, so R1C1 is the top-left square. Small numbers show the order the queens are found.

Queens #758 solution, step by step

Pick any step to see it on the board.

  1. Queen on R9C1 Teal

    1. The Teal region is just one cell wide and one cell tall. Put the queen on R9C1. 17 cells drop out once you mark the row, column and the eight surrounding squares.

  2. Queen on R1C7 Blue

    1. All remaining cells of the Yellow region lie in column 8. Its queen will end up there no matter what, so the other colors lose those squares: R1C8, R2C8, R3C8, R4C8, R7C8 and R8C8.

    2. The Red region is boxed into column 9. That column belongs to it, so cross out R1C9, R2C9, R3C9, R4C9, R5C9 and R6C9.

    3. Only R1C7 is still free inside the Blue region. The queen goes there. After the usual cleanup (row 1, column 7, the touching squares and the rest of the color) 13 cells disappear.

  3. Queen on R8C6 Gray

    1. The Gray region has nowhere else to go: R8C6 is its last legal square. 10 cells drop out once you mark the row, column and the eight surrounding squares.

  4. Queen on R3C5 Green

    1. Every other cell of the Green region has been crossed out by now, which leaves R3C5 for its queen. That rules out 9 more cells across row 3, column 5, the rest of the color and the squares touching it.

  5. Queen on R4C3 Orange

    1. The Orange region is down to one open cell, so its queen goes on R4C3. Crossing out its row, column, color and neighbours removes 7 candidates.

  6. Queen on R2C2 Purple

    1. Only R2C2 is still free inside the Purple region. The queen goes there. After the usual cleanup (row 2, column 2, the touching squares and the rest of the color) 2 cells disappear.

  7. Queen on R7C9 Red

    1. The Red region has nowhere else to go: R7C9 is its last legal square. 2 cells drop out once you mark the row, column and the eight surrounding squares.

  8. Queen on R6C4 Brown

    1. Every other cell of the Brown region has been crossed out by now, which leaves R6C4 for its queen. Nothing new is crossed out, since its neighbours were already blocked.

  9. Queen on R5C8 Yellow

    1. The Yellow region is the only color still waiting, and R5C8 is its only open cell. Place the final queen there.

Put together, the 9 queens of #758 sit on R1C7, R2C2, R3C5, R4C3, R5C8, R6C4, R7C9, R8C6 and 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.
