Queens #771 solution, step by step

Pick any step to see it on the board.

  1. 1. Queen on R3C6 Green

    1. All remaining cells of the Yellow region lie in column 7. Its queen will end up there no matter what, so the other colors lose those squares: R1C7, R2C7, R3C7 and R4C7.

    2. The Green region is down to one open cell, so its queen goes on R3C6. Crossing out its row, column, color and neighbours removes 13 candidates.

  2. 2. Queen on R6C5 Red

    1. Only R6C5 is still free inside the Red region. The queen goes there. After the usual cleanup (row 6, column 5, the touching squares and the rest of the color) 10 cells disappear.

  3. 3. Queen on R4C2 Orange

    1. All remaining cells of the Orange region lie in column 2. Its queen will end up there no matter what, so the other colors lose those squares: R1C2, R5C2 and R7C2.

    2. The Blue region is boxed into row 2. That row belongs to it, so cross out R2C1 and R2C2.

    3. The Orange region is down to one open cell, so its queen goes on R4C2. Crossing out its row, column, color and neighbours removes 5 candidates.

  4. 4. Queen on R5C7 Yellow

    1. Row 5 has exactly one open square left, R5C7, and it belongs to the Yellow region. That is where the queen goes. 1 cell drops out once you mark the row, column and the eight surrounding squares.

  5. 5. Queen on R1C1 Purple

    1. The Purple region cannot use R1C3 and R1C4: each of those squares leaves Blue with nowhere to go.

    2. Every other cell of the Purple region has been crossed out by now, which leaves R1C1 for its queen. That rules out 1 more cell across row 1, column 1, the rest of the color and the squares touching it.

  6. 6. Queen on R7C3 Gray

    1. The Gray region is down to one open cell, so its queen goes on R7C3. Crossing out its row, column, color and neighbours removes 1 candidate.

  7. 7. Queen on R2C4 Blue

    1. Last one: the Blue region gets its queen on R2C4, the one square nothing else attacks.

Done: R1C1, R2C4, R3C6, R4C2, R5C7, R6C5 and R7C3.

Region sizes

Yellow is the smallest region with 3 cells (queen on R5C7); Gray is the largest with 21 cells, and its queen sits on R7C3.

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.
