Queens #825 solution, step by step
Pick any step to see it on the board.
1. Queen on R4C4 Red
The Red region is a single square, so its queen has to sit on R4C4. After the usual cleanup (row 4, column 4, the touching squares and the rest of the color) 16 cells disappear.
2. Queen on R5C7 Green
The Green region has nowhere else to go: R5C7 is its last legal square. 9 cells drop out once you mark the row, column and the eight surrounding squares.
3. Queen on R1C6 Blue
Every other cell of the Blue region has been crossed out by now, which leaves R1C6 for its queen. That rules out 8 more cells across row 1, column 6, the rest of the color and the squares touching it.
4. Queen on R2C3 Orange
The Orange region is down to one open cell, so its queen goes on R2C3. Crossing out its row, column, color and neighbours removes 5 candidates.
5. Queen on R3C1 Purple
Only R3C1 is still free inside the Purple region. The queen goes there. After the usual cleanup (row 3, column 1, the touching squares and the rest of the color) 2 cells disappear.
6. Queen on R7C2 Yellow
The Yellow region has nowhere else to go: R7C2 is its last legal square. 2 cells drop out once you mark the row, column and the eight surrounding squares.
7. Queen on R6C5 Gray
Last one: the Gray region gets its queen on R6C5, the one square nothing else attacks.
Region by region, the answer to #825 is R1C6, R2C3, R3C1, R4C4, R5C7, R6C5 and R7C2.
