Queens #765 solution, step by step

Pick any step to see it on the board.

  1. 1. Queen on R4C8 Green

    1. The open squares of rows 1 and 2 all belong to Purple and Orange. Both queens of those colors are therefore used up here, which removes R3C1, R3C2, R3C3, R3C4, R4C1, R4C2, R4C3, R4C4, R5C1, R5C2, R6C1, R6C2, R7C1, R3C7 and R3C8.

    2. Row 3 can only be filled by the Blue region. That pins the Blue queen to this line and removes R4C5, R4C6 and R4C7.

    3. Row 4 still needs a queen and R4C8 is the only candidate, which settles the Green region as well. Crossing out its row, column, color and neighbours removes 11 candidates.

  2. 2. Queen on R2C7 Orange

    1. The Orange region is down to one open cell, so its queen goes on R2C7. Crossing out its row, column, color and neighbours removes 9 candidates.

  3. 3. Queen on R3C5 Blue

    1. Only R3C5 is still free inside the Blue region. The queen goes there. After the usual cleanup (row 3, column 5, the touching squares and the rest of the color) 5 cells disappear.

  4. 4. Queen on R5C4 Red

    1. Notice that the Red region only has candidates in row 5. Any other color in that line can be removed, which clears R5C3.

    2. All remaining cells of the Brown region lie in column 6. Its queen will end up there no matter what, so the other colors lose those squares: R5C6.

    3. The Red region is down to one open cell, so its queen goes on R5C4. Crossing out its row, column, color and neighbours removes 5 candidates.

  5. 5. Queen on R6C6 Brown

    1. Row 6 still needs a queen and R6C6 is the only candidate, which settles the Brown region as well. 1 cell drops out once you mark the row, column and the eight surrounding squares.

  6. 6. Queen on R7C3 Gray

    1. Test R7C2 in the Gray region: a queen there would attack every remaining Yellow cell. Yellow would be left empty, so R7C2 is out.

    2. Every other cell of the Gray region has been crossed out by now, which leaves R7C3 for its queen. That rules out 3 more cells across row 7, column 3, the rest of the color and the squares touching it.

  7. 7. Queen on R8C1 Yellow

    1. The Yellow region is down to one open cell, so its queen goes on R8C1. Crossing out its row, column, color and neighbours removes 1 candidate.

  8. 8. Queen on R1C2 Purple

    1. Last one: the Purple region gets its queen on R1C2, the one square nothing else attacks.

Region by region, the answer to #765 is R1C2, R2C7, R3C5, R4C8, R5C4, R6C6, R7C3 and R8C1.

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

  • 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.

  • 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.
