Queens #776 solution, step by step
Pick any step to see it on the board.
Queen on R1C6 Yellow
The Yellow region is just one cell wide and one cell tall. Put the queen on R1C6. Crossing out its row, column, color and neighbours removes 14 candidates.
Queen on R3C7 Orange
Only R3C7 is still free inside the Orange region. The queen goes there. After the usual cleanup (row 3, column 7, the touching squares and the rest of the color) 9 cells disappear.
Queen on R4C1 Green
The Green region has nowhere else to go: R4C1 is its last legal square. 9 cells drop out once you mark the row, column and the eight surrounding squares.
Queen on R7C5 Purple
Every other cell of the Purple region has been crossed out by now, which leaves R7C5 for its queen. That rules out 6 more cells across row 7, column 5, the rest of the color and the squares touching it.
Queen on R6C2 Gray
The Gray region is down to one open cell, so its queen goes on R6C2. Crossing out its row, column, color and neighbours removes 3 candidates.
Queen on R5C4 Red
Only R5C4 is still free inside the Red region. The queen goes there. After the usual cleanup (row 5, column 4, the touching squares and the rest of the color) 1 cell disappears.
Queen on R2C3 Blue
The Blue region is the only color still waiting, and R2C3 is its only open cell. Place the final queen there.
All 7 boxes ticked: R1C6, R2C3, R3C7, R4C1, R5C4, R6C2 and R7C5.
Final board
Yellow is the smallest region with 1 cell (queen on R1C6); Blue is the largest with 22 cells, and its queen sits on R2C3.

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.
