Queens #804 solution, step by step

Pick any step to see it on the board.

  1. 1. Queen on R6C3 Red

    1. All remaining cells of the Orange region lie in column 2. Its queen will end up there no matter what, so the other colors lose those squares: R3C2, R4C2, R5C2, R6C2 and R7C2.

    2. Only R6C3 is still free inside the Red region. The queen goes there. After the usual cleanup (row 6, column 3, the touching squares and the rest of the color) 13 cells disappear.

  2. 2. Queen on R4C4 Gray

    1. The Gray region has nowhere else to go: R4C4 is its last legal square. 9 cells drop out once you mark the row, column and the eight surrounding squares.

  3. 3. Queen on R7C6 Yellow

    1. Every other cell of the Yellow region has been crossed out by now, which leaves R7C6 for its queen. That rules out 7 more cells across row 7, column 6, the rest of the color and the squares touching it.

  4. 4. Queen on R1C5 Blue

    1. The Blue region is down to one open cell, so its queen goes on R1C5. Crossing out its row, column, color and neighbours removes 4 candidates.

  5. 5. Queen on R2C2 Orange

    1. Only R2C2 is still free inside the Orange region. The queen goes there. After the usual cleanup (row 2, column 2, the touching squares and the rest of the color) 3 cells disappear.

  6. 6. Queen on R3C7 Green

    1. The Green region has nowhere else to go: R3C7 is its last legal square. 1 cell drops out once you mark the row, column and the eight surrounding squares.

  7. 7. Queen on R5C1 Purple

    1. Last one: the Purple region gets its queen on R5C1, the one square nothing else attacks.

That completes Queens #804: R1C5, R2C2, R3C7, R4C4, R5C1, R6C3 and R7C6.

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

  • 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.

  • Check Diagonals Carefully

    Diagonal attacks are easy to miss. Always check all 8 surrounding cells when placing a queen to ensure no conflicts.
