Queens #910 solution, step by step

Pick any step to see it on the board.

  1. 1. Queen on R6C2 Blue

    1. Column 1 can only be filled by the Purple region. That pins the Purple queen to this line and removes R1C2, R1C3, R1C4, R1C5 and R1C6.

    2. Look along column 7: the only candidates left are Orange. Since the line needs a queen, Orange cells elsewhere (R7C2, R7C3, R7C4, R7C5 and R7C6) can be crossed out.

    3. Every open cell in column 2 is Blue. That line still needs a queen, so it must be the Blue queen, and the rest of the Blue region is out: R5C3, R5C4, R6C3, R6C4, R6C5 and R6C6.

    4. Group Green and Gray together: between them they fit inside rows 2 and 3 and nothing else. Those lines are spoken for, which knocks out R2C1, R2C2, R2C7, R3C1, R3C2, R3C4, R3C5 and R3C7.

    5. Notice that the Red region only has candidates in row 4. Any other color in that line can be removed, which clears R4C1, R4C2, R4C6 and R4C7.

    6. All remaining cells of the Yellow region lie in row 5. Its queen will end up there no matter what, so the other colors lose those squares: R5C1, R5C2 and R5C7.

    7. The Blue region is down to one open cell, so its queen goes on R6C2. Crossing out its row, column, color and neighbours removes 3 candidates.

  2. 2. Queen on R1C1 Purple

    1. Only R1C1 is still free inside the Purple region. The queen goes there. After the usual cleanup (row 1, column 1, the touching squares and the rest of the color) 1 cell disappears.

  3. 3. Queen on R7C7 Orange

    1. The Orange region has nowhere else to go: R7C7 is its last legal square. Nothing new is crossed out, since its neighbours were already blocked.

  4. 4. Queen on R3C6 Gray

    1. Group Gray and Yellow together: between them they fit inside columns 5 and 6 and nothing else. Those lines are spoken for, which knocks out R4C5.

    2. A queen on R3C3 would wipe out the Red region completely, which can never happen in a valid answer. Cross it off.

    3. Row 3 has exactly one open square left, R3C6, and it belongs to the Gray region. That is where the queen goes. 3 cells drop out once you mark the row, column and the eight surrounding squares.

  5. 5. Queen on R5C5 Yellow

    1. The Yellow region has nowhere else to go: R5C5 is its last legal square. 1 cell drops out once you mark the row, column and the eight surrounding squares.

  6. 6. Queen on R4C3 Red

    1. Every other cell of the Red region has been crossed out by now, which leaves R4C3 for its queen. That rules out 1 more cell across row 4, column 3, the rest of the color and the squares touching it.

  7. 7. Queen on R2C4 Green

    1. The Green region is the only color still waiting, and R2C4 is its only open cell. Place the final queen there.

Checklist complete: R1C1, R2C4, R3C6, R4C3, R5C5, R6C2 and R7C7.

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

  • 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.

  • 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.
