Queens #824 solution, step by step

Pick any step to see it on the board.

  1. Queen on R9C9 Gray

    1. Look along row 9: the only candidates left are Gray. Since the line needs a queen, Gray cells elsewhere (R1C9, R2C1, R2C2, R2C3, R2C9, R3C1, R3C2, R3C9, R4C1, R4C2, R4C3, R4C9, R5C1, R5C9, R6C1, R6C9, R7C1, R7C9, R8C1, R8C5 and R8C9) can be crossed out.

    2. Column 9 has exactly one open square left, R9C9, and it belongs to the Gray region. That is where the queen goes. 9 cells drop out once you mark the row, column and the eight surrounding squares.

  2. Queen on R1C1 Purple

    1. Scan column 1: everything except R1C1 is already blocked, so the Purple region takes its queen there. That rules out 8 more cells across row 1, column 1, the rest of the color and the squares touching it.

  3. Queen on R8C6 Teal

    1. Notice that the Yellow region only has candidates in column 7. Any other color in that line can be removed, which clears R4C7, R5C7, R6C7, R7C7 and R8C7.

    2. All remaining cells of the Red region lie in column 8. Its queen will end up there no matter what, so the other colors lose those squares: R6C8 and R7C8.

    3. Only R8C6 is still free inside the Teal region. The queen goes there. After the usual cleanup (row 8, column 6, the touching squares and the rest of the color) 10 cells disappear.

  4. Queen on R7C4 Green

    1. The Green region has nowhere else to go: R7C4 is its last legal square. 8 cells drop out once you mark the row, column and the eight surrounding squares.

  5. Queen on R6C2 Blue

    1. Row 6 has exactly one open square left, R6C2, and it belongs to the Blue region. That is where the queen goes. Crossing out its row, column, color and neighbours removes 2 candidates.

  6. Queen on R3C3 Orange

    1. Scan column 3: everything except R3C3 is already blocked, so the Orange region takes its queen there. After the usual cleanup (row 3, column 3, the touching squares and the rest of the color) 4 cells disappear.

  7. Queen on R2C7 Yellow

    1. Only R2C7 is still free inside the Yellow region. The queen goes there. After the usual cleanup (row 2, column 7, the touching squares and the rest of the color) 2 cells disappear.

  8. Queen on R4C5 Brown

    1. The Brown region has nowhere else to go: R4C5 is its last legal square. 1 cell drops out once you mark the row, column and the eight surrounding squares.

  9. Queen on R5C8 Red

    1. Last one: the Red region gets its queen on R5C8, the one square nothing else attacks.

All 9 boxes ticked: R1C1, R2C7, R3C3, R4C5, R5C8, R6C2, R7C4, R8C6 and R9C9.

Final board

Purple is the smallest region with 5 cells (queen on R1C1); Gray is the largest with 30 cells, and its queen sits on 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

  • 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.
