Queens #797 solution, step by step

Pick any step to see it on the board.

  1. 1. Queen on R1C1 Purple

    1. The Purple region is just one cell wide and one cell tall. Put the queen on R1C1. After the usual cleanup (row 1, column 1, the touching squares and the rest of the color) 13 cells disappear.

  2. 2. Queen on R2C3 Orange

    1. The Orange region has nowhere else to go: R2C3 is its last legal square. 11 cells drop out once you mark the row, column and the eight surrounding squares.

  3. 3. Queen on R5C2 Green

    1. The Gray region is boxed into row 4. That row belongs to it, so cross out R4C2, R4C4 and R4C7.

    2. Notice that the Red region only has candidates in row 6. Any other color in that line can be removed, which clears R6C2, R6C4 and R6C7.

    3. All remaining cells of the Yellow region lie in row 7. Its queen will end up there no matter what, so the other colors lose those squares: R7C2.

    4. Scan column 2: everything except R5C2 is already blocked, so the Green region takes its queen there. That rules out 4 more cells across row 5, column 2, the rest of the color and the squares touching it.

  4. 4. Queen on R7C4 Yellow

    1. Column 4 still needs a queen and R7C4 is the only candidate, which settles the Yellow region as well. Crossing out its row, column, color and neighbours removes 4 candidates.

  5. 5. Queen on R6C6 Red

    1. The Red region is down to one open cell, so its queen goes on R6C6. Crossing out its row, column, color and neighbours removes 2 candidates.

  6. 6. Queen on R4C5 Gray

    1. Only R4C5 is still free inside the Gray region. The queen goes there. After the usual cleanup (row 4, column 5, the touching squares and the rest of the color) 1 cell disappears.

  7. 7. Queen on R3C7 Blue

    1. The Blue region is the only color still waiting, and R3C7 is its only open cell. Place the final queen there.

In row order the same answer reads R1C1, R2C3, R3C7, R4C5, R5C2, R6C6 and R7C4.

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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Process of Elimination

    If a color region has only one available cell after considering all conflicts, place the queen there with confidence.
