Queens #795 solution, step by step

Pick any step to see it on the board.

  1. 1. Queen on R8C7 Teal

    1. Red and Green are confined to rows 1 and 2. Two colors packed into two rows use up every queen those lines can hold, so the stray cells of other colors go: R1C3, R1C4, R1C5, R1C6, R1C7, R2C3, R2C4, R2C5, R2C6, R2C7 and R2C8.

    2. The Blue region is boxed into row 3. That row belongs to it, so cross out R3C1, R3C2, R3C3, R3C4, R3C5, R3C8 and R3C9.

    3. Notice that the Purple region only has candidates in row 4. Any other color in that line can be removed, which clears R4C1, R4C5, R4C6, R4C7, R4C8 and R4C9.

    4. All remaining cells of the Orange region lie in row 5. Its queen will end up there no matter what, so the other colors lose those squares: R5C6, R5C7, R5C8 and R5C9.

    5. Group Green and Gray together: between them they fit inside columns 8 and 9 and nothing else. Those lines are spoken for, which knocks out R6C8, R7C8, R8C8, R6C9 and R7C9.

    6. The Teal region is down to one open cell, so its queen goes on R8C7. Crossing out its row, column, color and neighbours removes 14 candidates.

  2. 2. Queen on R3C6 Blue

    1. Only R3C6 is still free inside the Blue region. The queen goes there. After the usual cleanup (row 3, column 6, the touching squares and the rest of the color) 1 cell disappears.

  3. 3. Queen on R7C5 Yellow

    1. The Yellow region has nowhere else to go: R7C5 is its last legal square. 8 cells drop out once you mark the row, column and the eight surrounding squares.

  4. 4. Queen on R9C9 Gray

    1. Every other cell of the Gray region has been crossed out by now, which leaves R9C9 for its queen. That rules out 6 more cells across row 9, column 9, the rest of the color and the squares touching it.

  5. 5. Queen on R1C8 Green

    1. The Green region is down to one open cell, so its queen goes on R1C8. Crossing out its row, column, color and neighbours removes 2 candidates.

  6. 6. Queen on R2C2 Red

    1. The Orange region cannot use R5C2 and R5C3: each of those squares leaves Brown and Purple with nowhere to go.

    2. A short what-if settles R2C1. With a queen there, the next forced queen would be R5C4, and then column 3 would have no legal square. Cross R2C1 out.

    3. Every other cell of the Red region has been crossed out by now, which leaves R2C2 for its queen. That rules out 2 more cells across row 2, column 2, the rest of the color and the squares touching it.

  7. 7. Queen on R5C1 Orange

    1. R5C4 looks possible for the Orange region, but it covers all of Purple's open squares at once. Rule it out.

    2. Only R5C1 is still free inside the Orange region. The queen goes there. After the usual cleanup (row 5, column 1, the touching squares and the rest of the color) 1 cell disappears.

  8. 8. Queen on R6C3 Brown

    1. The Brown region has nowhere else to go: R6C3 is its last legal square. 1 cell drops out once you mark the row, column and the eight surrounding squares.

  9. 9. Queen on R4C4 Purple

    1. Last one: the Purple region gets its queen on R4C4, the one square nothing else attacks.

Done: R1C8, R2C2, R3C6, R4C4, R5C1, R6C3, R7C5, R8C7 and R9C9.

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.
