7 queens to place in Queens #876, one in each row, column and region, none touching. One region, the 3-cell region that includes row 1, column 7, is confined to a single column. 2 of the queens sit a knight's move from the one in the row above; not a rule, just the shape of today's answer.
Hints
Hint 1: where to start
Look at the 3-cell region that includes row 1, column 7 first: it never leaves column 7, which pins that column's queen to 3 cells. Its queen lands in row 2.
Hint 2: a solid foothold
Row 2, column 7 takes the first queen, which clears the rest of row 2, the rest of column 7 and the rest of its region.
Hint 3: nearly there
Now count row 1: just 5 cells survive, and the queen is at row 1, column 4. Keep doing that row by row.
