Answer checklist

Rows are counted from the top and columns from the left, so R1C1 is the top-left square. Small numbers show the order the queens are found.

Queens #908 solution, step by step

Pick any step to see it on the board.

  1. Queen on R6C7 Gray

    1. Notice that the Teal region only has candidates in row 9. Any other color in that line can be removed, which clears R9C1, R9C2, R9C8 and R9C9.

    2. Every open cell in column 1 is Purple. That line still needs a queen, so it must be the Purple queen, and the rest of the Purple region is out: R1C2, R2C2, R3C2, R5C3, R6C2, R6C3, R6C4, R7C2, R7C3, R8C2, R8C3 and R8C4.

    3. Column 2 can only be filled by the Yellow region. That pins the Yellow queen to this line and removes R3C3, R4C3 and R4C4.

    4. Look along column 9: the only candidates left are Blue. Since the line needs a queen, Blue cells elsewhere (R1C4, R1C5, R1C6, R1C7, R1C8, R2C6, R3C8, R4C8, R6C8, R7C7, R7C8, R8C6, R8C7 and R8C8) can be crossed out.

    5. Yellow, Red and Gray are confined to rows 4, 5 and 6. Three colors packed into three rows use up every queen those lines can hold, so the stray cells of other colors go: R4C1, R4C9, R5C1, R5C9, R6C1, R6C6 and R6C9.

    6. The Red region cannot use R5C6 and R6C5: each of those squares leaves Gray and Brown with nowhere to go.

    7. Row 6 still needs a queen and R6C7 is the only candidate, which settles the Gray region as well. That rules out 8 more cells across row 6, column 7, the rest of the color and the squares touching it.

  2. Queen on R2C8 Green

    1. Column 8 has exactly one open square left, R2C8, and it belongs to the Green region. That is where the queen goes. Crossing out its row, column, color and neighbours removes 9 candidates.

  3. Queen on R9C6 Teal

    1. Scan column 6: everything except R9C6 is already blocked, so the Teal region takes its queen there. After the usual cleanup (row 9, column 6, the touching squares and the rest of the color) 4 cells disappear.

  4. Queen on R1C3 Orange

    1. Column 3 still needs a queen and R1C3 is the only candidate, which settles the Orange region as well. 2 cells drop out once you mark the row, column and the eight surrounding squares.

  5. Queen on R3C1 Purple

    1. Row 3 has exactly one open square left, R3C1, and it belongs to the Purple region. That is where the queen goes. That rules out 3 more cells across row 3, column 1, the rest of the color and the squares touching it.

  6. Queen on R5C2 Yellow

    1. Every other cell of the Yellow region has been crossed out by now, which leaves R5C2 for its queen. That rules out 2 more cells across row 5, column 2, the rest of the color and the squares touching it.

  7. Queen on R4C5 Red

    1. The Red region is down to one open cell, so its queen goes on R4C5. Crossing out its row, column, color and neighbours removes 1 candidate.

  8. Queen on R7C4 Brown

    1. Only R7C4 is still free inside the Brown region. The queen goes there. After the usual cleanup (row 7, column 4, the touching squares and the rest of the color) 1 cell disappears.

  9. Queen on R8C9 Blue

    1. The Blue region is the only color still waiting, and R8C9 is its only open cell. Place the final queen there.

All 9 boxes ticked: R1C3, R2C8, R3C1, R4C5, R5C2, R6C7, R7C4, R8C9 and R9C6.

Final board

Orange is the smallest region with 5 cells (queen on R1C3); Blue is the largest with 24 cells, and its queen sits on R8C9.

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.
