Queens #800 solution, step by step

Pick any step to see it on the board.

  1. Queen on R3C8 Blue

    1. Notice that the Orange region only has candidates in row 1. Any other color in that line can be removed, which clears R1C1, R1C5, R1C6, R1C7 and R1C8.

    2. All remaining cells of the Purple region lie in row 2. Its queen will end up there no matter what, so the other colors lose those squares: R2C3, R2C4, R2C5, R2C6, R2C7 and R2C8.

    3. The Blue region has nowhere else to go: R3C8 is its last legal square. 13 cells drop out once you mark the row, column and the eight surrounding squares.

  2. Queen on R4C4 Green

    1. Every other cell of the Green region has been crossed out by now, which leaves R4C4 for its queen. That rules out 12 more cells across row 4, column 4, the rest of the color and the squares touching it.

  3. Queen on R2C1 Purple

    1. Every open cell in row 8 is Gray. That line still needs a queen, so it must be the Gray queen, and the rest of the Gray region is out: R5C1, R6C1, R7C1, R7C2 and R7C7.

    2. Row 7 can only be filled by the Brown region. That pins the Brown queen to this line and removes R6C5 and R6C6.

    3. Counting argument: two regions (Orange and Red) live entirely in two columns (columns 2 and 3). No other color can place a queen there, so remove R2C2, R8C2, R7C3 and R8C3.

    4. Every other cell of the Purple region has been crossed out by now, which leaves R2C1 for its queen. That rules out 2 more cells across row 2, column 1, the rest of the color and the squares touching it.

  4. Queen on R1C3 Orange

    1. The Orange region is down to one open cell, so its queen goes on R1C3. Crossing out its row, column, color and neighbours removes 1 candidate.

  5. Queen on R8C7 Gray

    1. Check the Gray region against its neighbours. R8C5 and R8C6 would block all of Brown, so remove both.

    2. The Gray region has nowhere else to go: R8C7 is its last legal square. 3 cells drop out once you mark the row, column and the eight surrounding squares.

  6. Queen on R5C6 Yellow

    1. Every other cell of the Yellow region has been crossed out by now, which leaves R5C6 for its queen. That rules out 1 more cell across row 5, column 6, the rest of the color and the squares touching it.

  7. Queen on R6C2 Red

    1. The Red region is down to one open cell, so its queen goes on R6C2. Nothing new is crossed out, since its neighbours were already blocked.

  8. Queen on R7C5 Brown

    1. Last one: the Brown region gets its queen on R7C5, the one square nothing else attacks.

All 8 boxes ticked: R1C3, R2C1, R3C8, R4C4, R5C6, R6C2, R7C5 and R8C7.

Final board

Purple is the smallest region with 3 cells (queen on R2C1); Gray is the largest with 19 cells, and its queen sits on R8C7.

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

  • 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.
