Queens #790 solution, step by step
Pick any step to see it on the board.
1. Queen on R7C6 Orange
The Blue region is boxed into column 7. That column belongs to it, so cross out R3C7, R4C7, R5C7, R6C7 and R7C7.
Every other cell of the Orange region has been crossed out by now, which leaves R7C6 for its queen. That rules out 12 more cells across row 7, column 6, the rest of the color and the squares touching it.
2. Queen on R3C5 Red
The Red region is down to one open cell, so its queen goes on R3C5. Crossing out its row, column, color and neighbours removes 10 candidates.
3. Queen on R2C3 Green
Only R2C3 is still free inside the Green region. The queen goes there. After the usual cleanup (row 2, column 3, the touching squares and the rest of the color) 9 cells disappear.
4. Queen on R1C7 Blue
The Blue region has nowhere else to go: R1C7 is its last legal square. 1 cell drops out once you mark the row, column and the eight surrounding squares.
5. Queen on R6C2 Yellow
Every other cell of the Yellow region has been crossed out by now, which leaves R6C2 for its queen. That rules out 5 more cells across row 6, column 2, the rest of the color and the squares touching it.
6. Queen on R4C1 Purple
The Purple region is down to one open cell, so its queen goes on R4C1. Nothing new is crossed out, since its neighbours were already blocked.
7. Queen on R5C4 Gray
Last one: the Gray region gets its queen on R5C4, the one square nothing else attacks.
Checklist complete: R1C7, R2C3, R3C5, R4C1, R5C4, R6C2 and R7C6.
Board after the last check
Blue is the smallest region with 2 cells (queen on R1C7); Purple is the largest with 15 cells, and its queen sits on R4C1.

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