Queens #763 solution, step by step

Pick any step to see it on the board.

  1. Queen on R6C7 Red

    1. The Blue region is boxed into row 3. That row belongs to it, so cross out R3C1, R3C2, R3C3, R3C4 and R3C7.

    2. Notice that the Green region only has candidates in row 4. Any other color in that line can be removed, which clears R4C1 and R4C7.

    3. All remaining cells of the Gray region lie in row 5. Its queen will end up there no matter what, so the other colors lose those squares: R5C1, R5C4, R5C5, R5C6 and R5C7.

    4. The Yellow region is boxed into row 7. That row belongs to it, so cross out R7C5, R7C6 and R7C7.

    5. Every other cell of the Red region has been crossed out by now, which leaves R6C7 for its queen. That rules out 8 more cells across row 6, column 7, the rest of the color and the squares touching it.

  2. Queen on R4C4 Green

    1. All remaining cells of the Orange region lie in row 2. Its queen will end up there no matter what, so the other colors lose those squares: R2C1.

    2. The Orange region cannot use R2C5 and R2C6: each of those squares leaves Blue with nowhere to go.

    3. A queen on R1C3 would wipe out the Orange region completely, which can never happen in a valid answer. Cross it off.

    4. Inside the Green region, R4C2, R4C3, R4C5 and R4C6 each attack every open cell of Gray and Blue. Placing the queen on any of them would empty a region, so they are all eliminated.

    5. The Green region is down to one open cell, so its queen goes on R4C4. Crossing out its row, column, color and neighbours removes 5 candidates.

  3. Queen on R3C6 Blue

    1. Only R3C6 is still free inside the Blue region. The queen goes there. After the usual cleanup (row 3, column 6, the touching squares and the rest of the color) 1 cell disappears.

  4. Queen on R5C2 Gray

    1. The Gray region has nowhere else to go: R5C2 is its last legal square. 3 cells drop out once you mark the row, column and the eight surrounding squares.

  5. Queen on R2C3 Orange

    1. Every other cell of the Orange region has been crossed out by now, which leaves R2C3 for its queen. That rules out 1 more cell across row 2, column 3, the rest of the color and the squares touching it.

  6. Queen on R7C1 Yellow

    1. The Yellow region is down to one open cell, so its queen goes on R7C1. Crossing out its row, column, color and neighbours removes 1 candidate.

  7. Queen on R1C5 Purple

    1. Last one: the Purple region gets its queen on R1C5, the one square nothing else attacks.

So the answer to Queens #763 is R1C5, R2C3, R3C6, R4C4, R5C2, R6C7 and R7C1.

Which colors matter most?

Blue is the smallest region with 2 cells (queen on R3C6); Orange is the largest with 24 cells, and its queen sits on R2C3.

Game Rules

Master these rules to solve any Queens puzzle

  • One Queen Per Color

  • 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

  • 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.

  • Work Row by Row

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