Queens #924 solution, step by step

Pick any step to see it on the board.

  1. 1. Queen on R2C6 Green

    1. All remaining cells of the Orange region lie in row 3. Its queen will end up there no matter what, so the other colors lose those squares: R3C1, R3C2, R3C6 and R3C7.

    2. Only R2C6 is still free inside the Green region. The queen goes there. After the usual cleanup (row 2, column 6, the touching squares and the rest of the color) 14 cells disappear.

  2. 2. Queen on R7C7 Gray

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

    2. 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.

    3. The Blue region is boxed into row 6. That row belongs to it, so cross out R6C1, R6C5 and R6C7.

    4. Column 7 still needs a queen and R7C7 is the only candidate, which settles the Gray region as well. 5 cells drop out once you mark the row, column and the eight surrounding squares.

  3. 3. Queen on R1C1 Purple

    1. Column 1 has exactly one open square left, R1C1, and it belongs to the Purple region. That is where the queen goes. That rules out 3 more cells across row 1, column 1, the rest of the color and the squares touching it.

  4. 4. Queen on R4C2 Red

    1. The Red region cannot use R4C3 and R4C4: each of those squares leaves Orange with nowhere to go.

    2. A queen on R6C4 would wipe out the Yellow region completely, which can never happen in a valid answer. Cross it off.

    3. Test R5C3 in the Yellow region: a queen there would attack every remaining Blue cell. Blue would be left empty, so R5C3 is out.

    4. R4C5 looks possible for the Red region, but it covers all of Yellow's open squares at once. Rule it out.

    5. Every other cell of the Red region has been crossed out by now, which leaves R4C2 for its queen. That rules out 2 more cells across row 4, column 2, the rest of the color and the squares touching it.

  5. 5. Queen on R3C4 Orange

    1. The Orange region is down to one open cell, so its queen goes on R3C4. Crossing out its row, column, color and neighbours removes 1 candidate.

  6. 6. Queen on R6C3 Blue

    1. Only R6C3 is still free inside the Blue region. The queen goes there. Nothing new is crossed out, since its neighbours were already blocked.

  7. 7. Queen on R5C5 Yellow

    1. The Yellow region is the only color still waiting, and R5C5 is its only open cell. Place the final queen there.

That completes Queens #924: R1C1, R2C6, R3C4, R4C2, R5C5, R6C3 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

  • 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.
