Queens #784 solution, step by step
Pick any step to see it on the board.
Queen on R3C5 Gray
Free queen: the Gray region covers only R3C5, which makes the placement automatic. Crossing out its row, column, color and neighbours removes 18 candidates.
Queen on R6C4 Yellow
The Yellow region is just one cell wide and one cell tall. Put the queen on R6C4. After the usual cleanup (row 6, column 4, the touching squares and the rest of the color) 12 cells disappear.
Queen on R5C6 Red
The Red region has nowhere else to go: R5C6 is its last legal square. 8 cells drop out once you mark the row, column and the eight surrounding squares.
Queen on R2C7 Blue
The Orange region is boxed into row 4. That row belongs to it, so cross out R4C1 and R4C8.
The Blue region is down to one open cell, so its queen goes on R2C7. Crossing out its row, column, color and neighbours removes 8 candidates.
Queen on R7C2 Green
Only R7C2 is still free inside the Green region. The queen goes there. After the usual cleanup (row 7, column 2, the touching squares and the rest of the color) 7 cells disappear.
Queen on R4C3 Orange
The Orange region has nowhere else to go: R4C3 is its last legal square. 1 cell drops out once you mark the row, column and the eight surrounding squares.
Queen on R1C1 Purple
Every other cell of the Purple region has been crossed out by now, which leaves R1C1 for its queen. Nothing new is crossed out, since its neighbours were already blocked.
Queen on R8C8 Brown
The Brown region is the only color still waiting, and R8C8 is its only open cell. Place the final queen there.
If your board shows R1C1, R2C7, R3C5, R4C3, R5C6, R6C4, R7C2 and R8C8, you have solved #784.

Look for Isolated Regions
Regions that are separated from others often have unique solutions. Identify them early to gain an advantage.
Start with Corners

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.
