Queens #764 solution, step by step

Pick any step to see it on the board.

  1. Queen on R8C3 Brown

    1. Notice that the Yellow region only has candidates in column 1. Any other color in that line can be removed, which clears R1C1, R2C1, R3C1, R4C1, R5C1 and R6C1.

    2. All remaining cells of the Gray region lie in column 2. Its queen will end up there no matter what, so the other colors lose those squares: R1C2, R2C2, R3C2, R4C2, R7C2 and R8C2.

    3. The Brown region has nowhere else to go: R8C3 is its last legal square. 14 cells drop out once you mark the row, column and the eight surrounding squares.

  2. Queen on R1C4 Purple

    1. Every other cell of the Purple region has been crossed out by now, which leaves R1C4 for its queen. That rules out 10 more cells across row 1, column 4, the rest of the color and the squares touching it.

  3. 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 5 candidates.

  4. Queen on R5C2 Gray

    1. Only R5C2 is still free inside the Gray region. The queen goes there. After the usual cleanup (row 5, column 2, the touching squares and the rest of the color) 4 cells disappear.

  5. Queen on R2C6 Blue

    1. Notice that the Green region only has candidates in column 5. Any other color in that line can be removed, which clears R6C5.

    2. All remaining cells of the Red region lie in row 6. Its queen will end up there no matter what, so the other colors lose those squares: R6C6.

    3. R3C7 looks possible for the Orange region, but it covers all of Blue's open squares at once. Rule it out.

    4. Check the Blue region against its neighbours. R3C6 and R4C6 would block all of Green, so remove both.

    5. The Blue region has nowhere else to go: R2C6 is its last legal square. 3 cells drop out once you mark the row, column and the eight surrounding squares.

  6. Queen on R4C5 Green

    1. Every other cell of the Green region has been crossed out by now, which leaves R4C5 for its queen. That rules out 2 more cells across row 4, column 5, the rest of the color and the squares touching it.

  7. Queen on R3C8 Orange

    1. The Orange region is down to one open cell, so its queen goes on R3C8. Crossing out its row, column, color and neighbours removes 1 candidate.

  8. Queen on R6C7 Red

    1. Last one: the Red region gets its queen on R6C7, the one square nothing else attacks.

All 8 boxes ticked: R1C4, R2C6, R3C8, R4C5, R5C2, R6C7, R7C1 and R8C3.

Final board

Yellow is the smallest region with 2 cells (queen on R7C1); Blue is the largest with 16 cells, and its queen sits on R2C6.

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.
